D4 MA - Green Teaness (Open but expecting)

[Kitsu Moshumaru]

"You can talk to trees. Trust me, their stories aren't as interesting as you think. They're so slow and because it's a tree, they aren't really good with time, so you'll ask it when was the last time somebody walked through here and they start telling you about fifty decades ago when they were a sapling." Unsei had a thousand yard stare ahead of them. It seemed talking to a tree or two was part of her shungeja course.

"Oh."

That caught him off guard.

"I uh, apologize for bringing that up - it seems I awoke some bad memories."

"Oh, it is. It's vile, but yet... so fun. So, so very fun... And mean, but... there are times when I feel that sometimes being a little mean is for the best. You know?"

The Kitsu nodded and smiled, trusting the Seppun's words.

"Learning from me is never a good thing, honestly. I am a gremlin at the best of times. Speaking of being a gremlin, I probably should warn you that I'm not likely to look like this tomorrow. I tend to, uh, change how I appear on the daily. Sometimes."

"A grem- it may not be my place, Seppun-sama, but I find it hard to believe. You have been compassionate in the face of my foolishness, earnest in the face of my enquiries, and stern in response to my failings. Anyone with a personality so admirable is not one I'd rush to call any kind of gremlin, if I'm honest."

The other meaning... was lost on him, honestly.

"I appreciate the compliments, Kitsu-san, but I know what I'm about and I am a gremlin sent here to be a thorn in the side of my family forever and always. It's fun though! And I wouldn't say that you've been foolish in any regards. At least nothing that I take as foolishness anyway. Also, I didn't realize I was being that stern, but the more you learn!" She shrugged some. "Also, I can't remember if I've warned you or not, but too many compliments will put more air into my head and that's something nobody here wants, so I'd be careful about that sort of thing if I were you. I'll become a terror on this whole city."

The Kitsu nodded.

"I will take your words to heart, Seppun-sama. Although I cannot promise no compliments escape my lips."

Who knows, maybe he did want to bring terror to the city?

[Seppun Unsei]

The Kitsu nodded.

"I will take your words to heart, Seppun-sama. Although I cannot promise no compliments escape my lips."

"Eh. It'll be your mess to deal with then when I become a terror upon this city and all who inhabit it. Believing myself to be above all of them. Truly terrible. What of you though? Do you believe yourself ever capable of being a terror to an entire city?"

Running.

The heat of his own breath gracing his sword before a deep inhalation of blood.

Terrified villagers, flat out begging for mercy upon his arrival.

Desperately wishing to share an offering with the starving, but knowing you would die if you did.

The blood.

The screams.

The fire.


The Kitsu shrugged.

"I would rather not be, but duty is a tenet of bushido for a reason..."

The first thing Unsei wanted to say, which nearly came out of her mouth was quickly and quite literally bit back. Starting a fight was not what she wanted to do currently. Instead, after that, she nodded.

"That is fair. Ah. So. Tomorrow then?"

"It would be my pleasure, Seppun-sama."

[Seppun Unsei]

"It would be my pleasure, Seppun-sama."

She bowed politely. "I hope you have a good afternoon then! And thank you for allowing me to chat with you today."
