> Look at Kourin. Is he trying to hold back a grin or something?
> Sigh. "Hey, Naz, you might wanna hop back in my pocket."
> To Kourin: "If a giant bird eats us, we're haunting you! Oh, and take care of Nitori."
> Go outside with the tofu.
> No, he looks dead serious.
> Nazrin gazes at the tofu longingly, but blinks back into a mouse and hops in your pocket.
> "It's not a bird. And I will."
> You head outside with the tofu. It's very quiet. Then the trees in front of you rustle, and what bursts out of the foliage is something you never thought you would see in your lifetime.
> It's a giant, golden fox. Or rather, a kitsune, easily matching the size of the shop. Nine long, majestic tails that wave and fan out in the air. Sharp golden eyes, fur that looks like silk.
> It walks over to you and sniffs your hair. After what feels like an eternity, it eats the fried tofu right off the plate. Ohhhhh shit, he wasn't kidding when he said it would be worth it.
