>What are non-journalist crow tengu like?
>One common trait among all Crow tengu, journalist or no, is, for lack of a better term, curiousity. The Crows ask all the questions, are almost always interested in what their neighbors are up to. This instict also, paradoxically, leads most Crow tengu to try and be very secretive, or at least attempt to be. The average Crow wants to know what her fellow tengu are up to, but don't necessarily want to let them know what they're up to. That doesn't mean every Crow is like that, of course, but it is more common than not.
>All Crows have a sense of pride, but not to quite the same point of arrogance that the Dai-tengu possess. Well, not normally, anyway. And they have a sense of competition born from their curiousity. It's a game for your kind: how to get something out of the other guy, without giving up too much yourself.
>"So let's go have a look! It'll even look nice and totally not-at-all-suspicious with you there to oversee it!"
>Heh heh HEH.
>Depart for Ayahaus
>To Aya's~!
>Momiji gives you a arched, tolerant look but keeps her opinion to herself.
>With her in tow, you make your way back into Crow territory and onto Aya's. Momiji's cruising speed isn't quite as high as yours, so the return trip takes a few minutes longer. Which is fine, as it gives you the chance to chat with your temporary partner in crime. She refreshes your memory as to the sleeping tengu you... uh, heard, earlier today. Her name is Toriyasu, she is indeed one of the border guards along with Momiji, and she fancies herself an expert cocktail creator. She isn't, Momiji assures you. She is, however, an expert at creating the worst hangovers you can imagine, which is largely why Momiji herself is very clear headed this morning. She knew better.
>You also take another picture of that odd square thing you saw on the way here, and ask Momiji if she knows what it is. She doesn't, but she mirrors your thought that it looks like something a kappa would build, especially given the wires she can see connecting it to the building it is built on top of. You resolve to ask the next kappa you see here in town about it. Or visit the owner of the building when you have the chance, whichever comes first.
>Just before Aya's manor comes into view, Momija announces "Someone's beaten you to the punch. I just saw someone's wing in one of the windows of Aya's place. And it wasn't Aya's."
