"If you have to ask that then I envy you", he said, shaking his head. What else is there? Feeling like you are sailing smooth seas while a leviathan lurks beneath you. Something that one has little appreciation for.

"But the core of it is I struggle with expectation, really I can't think of a proper token of affection."

"I'm pretty well trash at that too. I had an idea- a very rough one- but it took an actual artist's vision to make it into more than a crude notion in my head."

He sighed.

"Any success I have enjoyed? It's focused on one woman, who the Deer might very well pair elsewhere. None of my conversations with anyone else have indicated so much as a shred of interest from them that I can discern. So I may have been spared efforts in trying to... come up with something for others. So. I... sympathize a fair bit more than I think you appreciate."

"Well sympathy is what it is...", he answered, not seeming to be too interested. "Though I appreciate what you mean from your unnatural vantage point."

"It's really quite comfortable. A bit damp, but..."

He gestured to the rain.

"Oh must you?" He shook his head. "In any case, it's been a day... you wouldn't happen to know anyone who is good at dealing with spirits, but you actually trust, do you?"

Spirits, huh? Musta stepped on the wrong leaf in the forest or something...

"Well. There's the haunted Kitsu. There's Kaikoga Koi-san. Aimi-san might know a useful thing or two. Seppun Unsei-sama might know a thing or two. I think it might depend on the kind of spirit?"

Avoiding Unsei for then was important still.

"Hmm. Kaikoga-san, yes maybe..." he mused. "As to what kind, the sort it takes more than playing along with their pranks to get rid of."

"Hm. Well. I know this will shock you, but I'm not an expert. Maybe get Kaito-san to lend a hand? Her family's all about warding hostile spirits away from temples, after all..."

"That is a thought", he agreed. "What manner of nonsense are you actually doing anyway?"
