Talking in animal form was something that had to be taught from early on, considering that Damien was only able to attain a humanlike form after much training. the talking wasn't perfect due to the different anatomy of animal to humanlike form and it sounded very guttural and intermittent with growls and the occasional huff.
The hellhound quirked his heads at the distressed look on danny's face as one head lightly growled out something to the other, nothing but a series of growls and barks. "I think I got just the thing for you then Danny." he replied after a moment and giving his canine form a full body shake and back into its two legged appearance. It was always rough on his clothes shifting between forms, as there was ragged pieces of Jean legs barely left on.
He walked back into his room and opened the door properly for her to enter while he went through his mini's playthings, the two in question, the scruffle Regal and stray Tsar just sat on their owners bed wondering if it was already playtime as they ignored the sudden appearance of the newcomer in their domain.
"Something to keep him occupied right?" he asked after a minute of fishing through the toy chest and pulled out a ball that rattled from the inside and handed it to her. "Throw it to my mini's and see what happens." he said with a impish grin and gave the ball a little squeeze before dropping it into her care.

Danny gasped and clapped involuntary when Demi went from dog to boil in one easy shake. Truthfully, Danny had seen hellhounds back home- they weren't exactly uncommon, since her home city was quite a bit like hell, but most of them resumed their natural canine forms. She didn't get to see them transform very often.
If Demi's jeans were ripped now, Danny didn't notice. She simply assumed they'd been like that before, and she just didn't notice. Such was life for Danny. Ignorance is bliss and all that.
When Demi disappeared into his room, Danny couldn't help but sneak a glance. She didn't see much through the crack of the door, but she did notice quite a few canine minis running around. All she could think was doggiesssss. Funny how Demi was puppy, and the minis were doggies.
As Demi kept talking, seemingly to the toybox, Danny took it as an invitation to enter his room. Not that she really needed one. Danny strolled in and looked around. It was a very nice room, but very notably ... well doggy. Not that Danny minded. Her room was rather personalized to her character as well.
Danny was practically entertained by the jingling ball herself. She could've easily sat down right then and there and rolled it back and forth, giggling like a baby every time it jingled. Danny liked this toy already.
But no, she had a task. Danny squeezed it a few more times, and then tossed it to the scruffle. Rather hard. It sort of thumped the scruffle in the side rather loudly. Oops.

Demi tried his best not to laugh at the fire demon that seemed more into the little ball than she should be. But it was Danny after all, so it did make sense he figured with a shrug. He waited patiently for the ghoul to follow his instructions as he sat on top of the toy pile.
aaaany second now. the time continued to tick away.
aaaannnyyyyyy moment now he told himself in between yawns. He almost missed the sound of jingling in the air and felt the brush of air past his face as the ball landed solidly against Regal.
The canine duo on the other hand, they were happily watching the ball jingle away on tense ears. both of them knew what the sound meant, good things wer going to come their way as they kept watch over the new ghoul and their toy.
Regal let out a yawn of his own, in time with his owner, like the well devoted pet that he was, and let out a grunt of alarm when something came into contact with his side.
The scruffle whirled around to face the object and gave it a sniff before both he and Tsar began to paw at it feverishly with their tails high in the air.
"Its a treat ball, is a way to keep them active while your away, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle except with a prize at the end of it." the hellhound explained over the yips and happy barks of his pets. "I think that would do the trick, I use it on them myself when i'm away for awhile, so what do you think danny?" he asked carefully, hoping it was to her liking.

It was a puzzle? Danny didn't see any puzzle pieces. Demi must've been lying. Well that wasn't really the concern, was it? Danny's brow still furrowed in confusion. What did he mean it was a puzzle?
Still, the minis seemed relatively entertained. That was always a good sign. They were gnawing and pawing at it with fervor, so Danny assumed that meant they liked it. Nodding, she said to Demi, "I think this one is really really good!" Not just because it could entertain Ignis, but because it would also entertain her.
She would figure out that puzzle.
There was still one thing that seemed to cause her a lot of trouble at Amityville. "Is it flammable though?" Yes, the ever inevitable "flammable" question. This school really needed to be more fire-friendly. Not that Danny minded. Well maybe she minded a little, but she would never say anything.

It was always fun for Demi to watch his companions go nuts over their toys, considering that he used to do the same thing when he was younger. He was sure he had his old squeaky toy somewhere at home, the poor old bone had seen better days.
The hound was pleased over the fire demon's nod of approval, as his chest swelled with pride over his good service and tilted his head at her new question.
"I have one that's made of durable rubber, which might make it heat resistant." he said back before fishing it out of the chest to for her to inspect. "Its made for dogs that are very hardcore when it comes to their toys." he insisted before tossing the heavy toy at Danny.

Danny waited patiently as Demi dug through a giant box of toys. Well it sort of made sense that he had so many- he was a dog after all. It was probably like a hexbox to him. Danny couldn't help but think it was a bit much though. She could probably sit in that chest. Then again, he had both himself and his minis to entertain. Maybe it was valid.
Finally though, Demi did resurface and threw a heavy toy at her. She was expecting light rubber, so she sort of lurched as she caught it. It weighed about as much as a bowling ball. Not the heaviest thing in the world, but certainly not light. Still, it seemed durable enough. She squished it a few times- it still made that jingling noise (much to her delight).
"Welp, only one way to test it, right?," she said with a mischievous grin on her face. Her flame tail came whipping around from her backside, and she held the toy above it.
Absolutely nothing. Danny was thrilled. "Oh goodie! It's perfect puppy it's perfect!" She would've jumped up and down with delight if the thing wasn't so gosh darn heavy.

Demi took a couple of steps back from the impromptu barbeque, just in case there was catastrophic failure of the treat ball and mostly for Danny.
"I'm not a puppy." he grumbled out half heartedly in response to his pet peeve name that just seemed impossible to escape from. Even his own dogs gave a gruff bark at the name, although they were much more engrossed in a game of seeing who could get the most treats.
"but i am glad that you approve of it, hopefully your canine will be just as good to it." he said with a grin. It was always sad to see a good toy got away, but he knew it would be going to a good dog, and a 'special" to say the least..... owner.

Danny threw her arms around Demi in an impromptu hug and said, "Oh thank you puppy." If Damien had literally just told her not to call him Puppy, Danny didn't hear it. As far as she was concerned, he was Puppy for life. She squeezed him once for good measure. After all, she was in his debt! Plus Danny just really loved hugs.
Coming out of the hug, she held up one figure and said, "I have just ... one question." She had a mischievous smile on her face, and she looked up to no good whatsoever. She might as well have been a marauder.
Yes, Danny was up to absolutely no good.

The hug was indeed abrupt and new, and he just stood there like a frozen log. He didn't even hear her call him puppy for the umpteenth time. Fire demon hugs were definitely under the category of Do Not Want.
His eyes immediately crossed as he looked at the finger in his face, making the hounds eyes hurt as he blinked away the pain. "And that is?" he asked dryly, drawing out the last syllable for her to continue.
And boil, did he feel like he was going to regret it.
Meanwhile regal managed to get out a treat from his ball that was quickly nommed on by Tsar, the problem solver and the eater. He might as well just call the stray Roch.

Very seriously, Danny said, "Can I ride you?" She didn't mean like that. She wanted to ride his dog form. He looked like a very, very small fluffy pony in her eyes. A rideable one.
She picked up the chew toy that she'd selected it and rolled it a few times in her hand. She shoved it into her pocket, making her jacket look extremely lopsided. The left side now went down about a foot more than the right side. Whatever, it's not like Danny was very fashion conscious in the first place, right?
Watching the little minis fight over the treat, Danny's mouth twitched into a frown. Hey! That Tsar stray thingy wasn't playing fair. She reached down and pulled the treat out of it's mouth and handed it to Regal, who actually did all the work. That was more like it. She stuck her tongue out at Tsar for good measure.
She waved her hands at Demi and continued, "O-only to the dorm, promise!!" Even though Damien was likely going to deny her, due to the whole "canines are not rides" thing, she was still going to ask. It sounded like fun, right?

Wha--wha-what? Damien didn't mean to stare at her but..... that request.
he could understand if it was labor like pulling a sled, since he had to do that once a few years ago. But carry a person?
"No no no no no. way. Hellhounds are not good for transport." He tried to explain as diplomatically as he could. Hell jacking no might have been just a tad harsh, just a tad. It did not sound like fun, it sounded like punishment.
He watched as the fire demon's jacket got stretched out, surely she must have known its damaging the fabric. and even more so when she went over to scold his mini for its action.
"Ha, I'm not the only one reprimanding you for that Tsar!" he yelled out smugly. It served him right.
Tsar on the other hand, moped on the bed over the loss of his stolen spoils and pawed at the treat ball halfheartedly.

Danny's face immediately dropped at Demi's vehemently forceful refusal. She would've liked to have a doggymobile to carry her around school. All furry and soft so she could just lay on his back while he carried her to class and ...
Wait now Tsar was sad too. This wouldn't do. Danny reached over to the treat ball and pulled the treat out and handed it to Tsar while patting him on the head like something out of Dr. Seuss. "You should take better care of your doggies, Puppy," she said absentmindedly. As if she really knew anything about taking care of dogs. As if she actually knew more than Demi would in the way of dogs.
Saddened by the lack of mount to carry her back to the dorm, Danny trotted towards the door of his dorm and said, "Well thanks!" She scratched his ears one more time (it definitely wasn't going to be the last time, either), and then bounded out the door, eager to try her new treatball on Ignis.

He was not a sled dog, out carrying treats for all the good trick or treaters.
OK there was that one time when he was a really small scareling and wanted to be helpful but that was it.
Damien was brought out of his musings after the other intentional earscratch and left his face in a bewildered look, there wasn't enough time for a proper retort.
"I am not- (SLAM) .... a puppy." his own words fell quiet from his mouth and left him in a grumble and stared at his mini's chewing comfortably on his bed, crumbs already starting to fall on his bedspread.
"agh, you guys, I just did the laundry!" he roared out, shooing them off the bed and putting the once fresh and clean bedding back into the clothing container. "Well she was an odd one eh?" he asked out loud, mostly to himself and to the new chore on his list. He wasn't sure if Ignis was lucky or unlucky to get such an owner, but it was clear.
The fire demon wasn't done probing his mind for canine training techniques or toys. "Oh joy."
