[The small talk at least helps him to decompress, if only a little. And the closer he hears Josuke get, the easier it is for him to breathe.]
I'll wait for you, then.
[Time seems to crawl, in some ways. Ayato already wants him here, but also doesn't want to risk his safety. So he waits, trying not to be impatient. When he finally is told that he's there, there's an exhale and a sound of relief.
Of course, Josuke's entrance into the estate is welcomed- until it suddenly isn't. Because the next thing he'll see is a six foot tall angry cat, coat as white as snow and two swords as its own fangs getting up close and personal with a snarl. Ayato has to pick himself up quickly, cursing inwardly that he didn't think to tell his Pokémon that someone was coming. Josuke will see his boyfriend seconds later pulling to the side of the beast, giving it a stern look.]
Gekido- [The Chien-Pao growls, eyes narrowed, and Ayato has to put a hand on its head before he speaks again.] Gekido, that's enough. He's not going to harm me, he never would. [Gekido gives Ayato a look before huffing and backing up, eventually deciding to walk off and continue its nap in another room.]
I apologize for that. Gekido is highly protective of me, it seems.
[Ayato that is a fucking LEGENDARY POKEMON. HOW DO YOU HAVE A LEGENDARY POKEMON.

The next part, though, is said a lot softer.]
...I'm glad you're here.
