The pup nodded, carefully so as to not dislodge the hand that was petting his ear. Why did that action feel so good? His caretaker had rubbed his ears in the past, back before he had spoken, and developed a human form, and come to the academy. It reassured him, this home would be good too.
His head tilted up ever so slightly as he sniffed the air, it was thick with dust, but there were still a few traces of the room's previous occupant detectable to his sensitive nose. There were no scents of fear or blood, nothing to suggest that the room's previous inhabitant had not also been comfortable there.
Jove reluctantly broke free from Yaya's leaning, and trotted around the room. He opened the door to the bathroom, ears perking with delight when he saw the deep tub that would be perfect for baths. Dashing across the room he threw open the closet door and took a good, long look inside before trotting to the bed and sitting down to test it's softness. This was a very good place indeed. After a couple exploratory bounces, he ran back to his friend with a wide-eyed expression as if to say "Isn't it wonderful?"

Oh those ears were even softer then she'd imagined they would be. It was good the pup found the action enjoyable, for Yaya would certainly want to make the petting a regular occurrence. She was, after all, a very touchy individual, and those around her would either enjoy the constant attention, or have to learn to live with it. There was a third option obviously, but not one many would consider.
She let him slip away from her to go investigate his new room, and she stepped past the door frame to stand in the middle. Watching him as he wandered back and forth before finally taking a seat on the bed and bouncing. The cuteness of it all had her chuckling, but she did her best to muffle the sound behind the curve of a knuckle.
"Mmhmm," she agreed, nodding as she dropped her hand back to her side. "And it'll look even better once you're all moved in, I'm sure." All rooms looked better with a personal touch. Or at least they did in her opinion. Her own room was decked out in an arabian sort of theme, very fitting. There were pillows and silk everywhere.

Jove almost smiled at her affirmation, the pleased emotion reaching his eyes, and the very corners of his lips. Then he dashed back to make a circle of the room in the other direction, this time clattering the hangers in the closet, disappearing into the bathroom and turning on and off the bathtub faucet, and then back to his bed. Which he looked over once more before dropping to his belly and wiggling right under it.
That was perhaps the best part, there was just enough room under the bed for him to move around without feeing trapped or stuck, but the darkness and close confines was entirely reminiscent of the mossy logs and quiet caverns he had hid in during his time running loose in the Halloween world. His eyes glowed in the dark there, making it easier to wiggle around and examine his new hiding place.

The pause in his investigations was terribly brief, but she caught that pleasure in glowing blue eyes in response to her thoughts on his new room and how very nice it would look once his things had been settled within. Still and smiling, then up again to to make another rotation, quicker this time, and with more enthusiasm if the rattling of hangers was any indication.
He certainly had a lot of energy, at least intermittently, though she supposed that came from being young. Vaguely she wondered just how old he was, but not enough to actually ask right then. Perhaps another time.
When he dropped to his belly to squirm under the bed itself she laughed again, head tilting curiously as she bent to peer down at him, his eyes glowing brighter in the semi dark of the shadows.
For the moment she was content to stand there and be superfluous. Dark arms folding loosely as she watched him. True, she was playing guide, but this was going to be his home for the next few years, and she was perfectly fine with him checking out every nook and cranny.

There was some more shuffling from underneath the bed, before the pup wiggled back out, covered from ears to tail in dust bunnies that had accumulated during the reign of the room's previous owner. Jove seemed not too concerned about them, he trotted half way towards Yaya before giving a vigorous shake to dislodge them. The dust poofed up in a big cloud around him and then settled back onto the floor.
As if content with his investigations, Jove came to a stop in front of the demon and glanced up with big, curious eyes. "Where are we going now?" they seemed to say. It was really nice of her to show him around, and now that he knew where his room was, he was ready to go wherever she wanted to take him. Maybe to the cafeteria like she suggested, or the pool! Maybe he would even see someone swimming in the pool, that would be rather exciting.

As he wriggled out from under the bed the demon straightened, giggling once again and he darted back to her, paused to shake himself clean, then came to a rocking stop in front of her. Large eyes staring up at her expectantly.
"Ready to go then?" She was getting better at reading those looks. "How about I show you my dorm, so you'll know where to find me, then we can go get a snack." She held her hand out for him again, and assuming he took it she lead him back out of the room, pausing so he could close and lock the door behind them, and on up the stairs towards the exit.
In Hadiyya's opinion, this was all the start of wonderful new friendship.
