[Reaper held the journal steady so 76 could write in it, and this answer was far more satisfactory for him. He knew 76 would sleep again soon, and that's what was needed, but if this kind of messaging kept Kazuma from running around, then fine. He'd help.]
No. You didn't call on me for help, so I still owe you. That stands for when you want to call upon it.
Once I get some food into him, I expect he'll get back to sleep. He's been doing that a lot, and he's not as rough as he was when I brought him to your family for repairs.
[Yes, it's great that his little sister is here, otherwise he definitly rip a new one about the "big daddy" and needing "lullabies". He might have knocked a few things in the background with his tail out of great annoyance. It's fine, he'll put them back up as they were later, once they've finished making conversation with Reaper.
There's nothing else to do but wait. He could rest since there's really no chance they'll hear from 76 soon, but he just ends up pacing around Mikotoba's home. Soon as Susato calls for, he waste no time coming up to her side and probably breaking some personal space to properly read what is written in the journal. Handwriting is familiar, sounded like the old man in writing too.
Just as Reaper surmised, he felt this wave of relief after finally hearing, or reading some kind of news that things are going to be okay for the old man. He just wished he was there for him.]
Good...He sshould have all the rest he needss.
[What's this about owing Susato though...? Probably for helping 76 the last time. He might have grumble something under his breath about needing his help, but he'll keep those thoughts to himself.]
Careful he doessn't accidentally change the food. [He's not sure how much of that Noctaere side is still clinging to him, but better to a warning than nothing. And now, a moment he must begrudgingly say.] Thank him, for keeping uss informed...and ssaving him.
[ Oh... she never mentioned that, huh? It's alright. Kazuma assumes correctly anyway, and she doesn't really intend to keep any secrets. She stares at Kazuma for a notably long pause before she actually processes his response.
She shakes her head to bring herself back around, and commits quill to paper again. ]
Thank you for saving him. And for keeping your word. [ Was she supposed to actually write the first part? It definitely feels important. ] He says to be careful not to accidentally change his food.
[ What diet? That's a good question, but if he's a wolf, surely it couldn't be too complicated? ...When will Reverein have a library already so she can just look these things up?
Before all that, she looks to Kazuma again, a completely separate and more important question on her mind. Sensing that he's wondering the same, she commits quill to paper. ]
[Those kibbles don't sound very appetizing at all, and why does feel like Reaper's having a laugh on the other end? So he's going to clarify it once more for Susato.]
Not nightmare food. Be sssure he'ss not turning whatever he'ss eating into nightmaress.
[ Oh. She had been thinking the same thing, probably something about how cats and dogs deserve better than that. The only thing keeping her from shuddering at imagining the taste is the embarrassment from Kazuma having to clarify. (Some judicial assistant.) ]
Right. Sorry.
[ Her handwriting may seem slightly more rushed as she hurries to correct herself. ]
He meant 76. To make sure 76 is not changing what he is eating into nightmares.
[He looked over at 76 who was back to dozing nearby. So far, there was no ill-effects with the foods that were being shoved into the younger man's mouth. It was something to watch out for he supposed.]
That only happens on the other end of eating. It's like an exorcism.
[ Well! That's about all the time she's willing to spend thinking about that. She never thought about the noctaere in quite that way though, as something to be exorcised, so that's... actually interesting. ]
You're quite the exorcist yourself... apparently.
[ ...No, that felt awkward. Oh well. Too late now. ]
[ She starts to thank him again in what feels like the third time in about as many minutes, though their written messages aren't exactly timestamped. It's enough though that she stops abruptly at a point, holding the quill to the paper.
If only there were some way (like emojis) for her to show her acknowledgement without saying anything (someone please teach this girl about emojis). Until then, she will try to shake off her tiredness. Now that she's started to write it, she clearly can't stop, so she's going to scribble the rest, and then shut her journal.
She still has a snake brother to bully into sleeping and two slackers to cover for at her job. ]

And what diet is he on? The puppy kibble doesn't seem to balloon him out yet.

What's a kibble?

So what diet specifically am I feeding the injured war dog?

Do you and Kazuma need an update after this, or can the next wait for 76 to be functional to offer one?

Let him rest. If there is a major change, then you can let us know. Please.
We'll make arrangements to see him when he is ready.
