> "Ah... Well earlier today, he attacked me and Nitori when i tried to help her move some stuff, and the only way to calm him down was to use my ability to settle him down."

>She nods, and clicks her tongue a few times to get the wolf's attention. "Who's a hungry boy?" she says to him, "Who's a hungry boy?"

>She nods again.
>You consider trying to mess with Satori's mind reading. "I'd rather you not try," she says, "I got a good dose of what you did to the wolf."

>"Oh, I understand that," says Satori. "I meant before. He's become quite fascinated and frightened of you. I don't think he's ever met anything that smells like a rabbit before that's so directly overwhelmed him."
>"Ah, I can now," says Satori. "I tend to only catch surface thoughts, unless I try to dig a bit deeper. You're after...oh, Maya?"

>Satori nods, not looking away from the wolf. "She was a human who came down here some centuries ago. She was quite an impressive figure, I remember her clearly.
>"Oh, I see. You've made this poor puupy curious! No wonder he's following you. You beat him up, then you fed him. His little world has been turned completely upside down! You silly little roly pup! You're wondering if she has a pack, aren't you? Aren't you?"

>"The former, I think," says Satori, as she tilts her head at the wolf. "It seems he's decided you must be a powerful leader. Hmmm. I may be able to help you manage him a bit better, if you want."

>Admittedly, it is nice to have a canine that isn't barking at you the whole time.
>She nods. "It'll take me some time, but I think I've convinced him to stay here and that you'll come back for him."
>"As for your other questions, I am not sure what Maya did with the gems. This was the first place she came, and she visited me before she got rid of any of them. She wanted to drop them in Former Hell, but changed her mind when she learned that it wouldn't have made them very secure. I think she decided to ask people in town for better ideas after that, I never saw her again. I would ask people who have been around here a long time, they might know better than I do."

>You return to The Felt. The restaurant area is full to bursting now, with waiters gliding between tables and the general babble of conversation making it hard to say much of anything. The band plays on in the back, Lyrica having joined with her sisters.
>Asking around, you learn that Yuugi has left for the day and is "down for the count", in the staff's exact words. She'll probably be back sometime in the early evening to post-midnight.

>You return to the subterranean river. The bridge is still empty. Looking below it, you can't tell if the house is empty or not. There are no lights on, but if Parsee is asleep there would be a reason for that.

>This really doesn't surprise you as much it would in similar cases with other people. At least you have a better idea what Yuugi was trying to hush up back when you caught them leaving The Felt.
>You apologize for the poor timing. "Yeah yeah, salrigh', thanks." Yuugi answers.
>You try to explain the story as concisely as possible. Yuugi nods, her eyes going in and out of focus and wandering sometimes. "Fuck that's a lotta words," she says at length. "So you're looking for some jewels some human dumped a while back? Uh...I don't know anyone like- wait! You mean Asskicker, right?"

>"Yeah, that sounds about right." says Yuugi, grinning warming up to the topic. "Zoggin' hell, that was back in the day. But I remember her real good. Came into the City, just as natural as could be. That was back when y' just didn't do that kind of thing, see? So I figured I'd kidnap her. Been a while since thing, see? So I go up to her and give her the whole, 'You're mine, puny human!' spiel. And know what she does? Just says 'Okay' and had at me with that zogging sword of hers! Wasn't even one of those special ones, just the kind any old good blacksmith can make. Got me pretty bad, too. Finally, though, I get the sword away from her, and I'm thinking, 'Ha! She's mine now'. Then she went and bloody well decks me right in the tit! Don't even want to think what the look on my face must've been. Anyways, I still had her. But she went down swinging, I'll have you know. I won, but hell if I didn't need to get patched up too. Good enough to be called asskicker if she can go toe to toe with me for awhile, so far as I'm concerned!"
