>Enjoy some tea, let the mouse talk about whatever she wants.

> You pour yourself a cup of tea and listen as Nazrin talks at you.
> "Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually live at the temple," Nazrin tells you. "My house is somewhere else, and it's probably flooded. I put some charms on it to keep mold from building up, but I dunno if that's gonna hold against all this."
> She makes a sweeping gesture you assume is meant to represent the flood, and finishes her tea. She then goes back to nibbling on the apricots, giving bits to the mouse in her basket every now and then.

> "You'd have to be an idiot to try and start something with the youkai on Youkai Mountain," Nazrin says. She gulps down the last of her tea. "Phew. Good stuff."

>Head back!

> You and Nazrin leave the shrine and fly back across the water. After a while, you near the base of Youkai Mountain. Nothing seems to have changed from when you last left it.
> Nazrin flies ahead of you, then turns back before she's out of earshot.
> "So, I'll talk to Hijiri and Shou about what you wanted," she says while playing with the hem of her skirt. "Somebody'll get back to you on it, I guess."

> You say your goodbyes to Nazrin, and then fly up the mountain towards the ravine.
> You have some trouble finding the supposed kappa hideout again, but eventually you learn to just follow the river until the walls of the ravine are on either side of you again. The river, as always, has a strong current. Perhaps it would be a bad idea to try diving in there again.

> You scan the area. While you don't see any tengu, you do see a lone kappa at the water's edge, dragging what appears to be a canoe into the bushes.

> Slowly and quietly, so as not to startle them. While not as shy as Nitori, kappa are generally skittish.

>Approach slowly and quietly.

> You float gently across the river. The kappa, still struggling with the canoe, looks up to wipe the sweat from her brow when she sees you. She freezes up, but holds her ground.

> You help the kappa lift the canoe, and the two of you drift further into the trees. After a while, the two of you reach a clump of bushes and she motions for you to let go of the boat.
> "I heard," says the kappa as she kicks the canoe into the bushes and covers it with branches. "I know we were told to find and grab the human if we saw her. Were we not supposed to? Are we in trouble?"
