>Keep carefully approach and land near Mitsu if nothing bad happens.
>"Mitsu, what's going on ?"
> Make sure that question is asked casually, with appropriate casual behavior.
> "Are these friends of yours?"
>You descend. "Be careful, 'Kuya," says Flandre as she follows you.
>You land near Mitsu. Nothing immediately bad happens, but all eyes are on you now. There are ten humans in laced armor, carrying halberds and watching you with varying levels of wariness. None of them seem prepared to try to strike, but they are certainly waiting for it. Conversing with Mitsu is a very tall and curvy woman, easily a head taller than you, with bright red hair and wearing similar armor to the others. Two horns extending from the top of her head marks her as a youkai, and you are tempted to label her an oni before you note the long, tufted tail hanging down to about her knees. The tetsubo she has strapped across her back certainly only draws the oni comparison closer. She regards you calmly, but says nothing as you speak to the kappa.
>"Um, well..." says Mitsu. "Not...exactly?"
>"Investigators is more like it," says the youkai, tail swishing. "You're the maid she was talking about, right? And the monk?"
