>"Don't worry, I'm not going to convert or anything, and I've got my eye out for funny business. But... Tojiko's actually been really helpful with a problem I'm having."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Don't worry, I'm not going to convert or anything, and I've got my eye out for funny business. But... Tojiko's actually been really helpful with a problem I'm having."

>"That's really hard to believe," says Nazrin. "What's her angle?"

>"Well, they're not just going to say it," says Nazrin. "You have to just watch her. See if she does or doesn't do something weird. Listen for her to say something that seems weird. Then when you think you got it, then you try to trick them into saying more."

[Yaersulf]

>"I'll keep my eyes peeled but I think my problem is related to what I am, so having another ghost on my side is nice. I'll see you in a bit to trade back that spellcard."
>Cover the rest of the distance to the door and see if Nazrin will let us go without any more fuss.
>Make a mental note to come back for our spellcard.

>She allows you to leave without any more fuss.

>Exit Kourindou.
>Wave to the fairy greeter.
>Fly to the human village.

[Hello Purvis]

>Exit Kourindou.
>Wave to the fairy greeter.
>Fly to the human village.

>You leave the store and wave to the faerie.
>"Hello! You are a ghost!" the faerie says.
>Setting that aside, you take flight and head for the human village. It is fairly peaceful along the way, little to see but faeries playing, and those two outworlder kids bringing in their garden by the edge of the forest. The fields between are filled with more harvesting activity throughout the farms, and the village itself bustles as always as you approach it.

[Yaersulf]

>Head to Shou's store.

[Branneg Xy]

> Nothing stands out,but peacefully so?

> Look around for Tojiko and while at that does anyone or anything stands out or is curious enough around Shou's Store?

[Hello Purvis]

> Nothing stands out,but peacefully so?

> Look around for Tojiko and while at that does anyone or anything stands out or is curious enough around Shou's Store?

>Head to Shou's store.

>You make your way toard Shou's Clothes.
>Along the way, things looks fairly peaceful. People are moving along the roads without a worry, and things seem to be getting done in proper order. ...Until you fly over the clothing store and see both Shou and Tojiko in the streets, seeming what animated.

[Yaersulf]

>Approach hastily, and as we do see if we can make out what they're saying.

[Hello Purvis]

>Approach hastily, and as we do see if we can make out what they're saying.

>You descend, and find that they both seem to be talking over each other,

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Land and walk toward them.
>"What's this about?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Land and walk toward them.
>"What's this about?"

>You land and start to ask what this is about. However, you do not have time to get it out before Shou looks over at you and says, "Murasa! Look who I caught poking around the store!"
>"She was supposed to meet me here!" Tojiko says.
>"Around the back, was it?" Shou presses.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"She's telling the truth Shou, we agreed to meet up here."

[Hello Purvis]

>"She's telling the truth Shou, we agreed to meet up here."

>"And snoop around back?" Shou says.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Look at Tojiko.
>"What were you doing there Tojiko?"

[Branneg Xy]

>Look at Tojiko.
>"What were you doing there Tojiko?"

// Too accusing ,even if only for truth sake. This,although waiting for a confirmation, seems a misundestanding with both Tojiko and Shou being too jumpy and indirectly rivalry,with the 1st being  sneaky and overly curious the 2nd  confrontational and accusing.//

> Do not say this but calmly and surely say to Tojiko,looking at her : "Tojiko,is there something you are interested or curious in the back of Shou's Store and caught the both you in a misunderstanding ? ".

[Hello Purvis]

>Look at Tojiko.
>"What were you doing there Tojiko?"

> Do not say this but calmly and surely say to Tojiko,looking at her : "Tojiko,is there something you are interested or curious in the back of Shou's Store and caught the both you in a misunderstanding ? ".

>You decide to err on the side of diplomacy.
>"Not especially," Tojiko says. "I just wanted to get a look, since I was just waiting here."

>Same tone, look at and read Shou 'sexpression,then back to Tojiko : " Alrighty then,but next time it would be better to avoid any misunderstandings  by first giving an heads-up ,or at least being clearly seen , by Shou or me or any Myourens who would accompany you ,or any other with no ill-will, in the back close-wise or far-wise depending on the need of both "..

> Back to Shou : " Anything else to add ,Shou,or that's alright?".
,
> Is there something/one important or need-a-secret in the shop's back?

[Hello Purvis]

,
> Is there something/one important or need-a-secret in the shop's back?

>There's nothing of particular importance in back. Before the temple was made, it served as a living quarters for everyone.
>"When was it against any law to look at the back of a building?" Tojiko says.
>"It's too suspicious, is what it is," Shou says.
>"Isn't suspicion just another attachment to the material world?" Tojiko answers.

[Yaersulf]

>"Stop fighting or I'll keelhaul the both of you!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Stop fighting or I'll keelhaul the both of you!"

>Shou looks at you, eyebrows raised.
>"You'll...what?" Tojiko says. "What does that even mean?"

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"You don't want to find out. Now come on guys, we don't need to be at each others throats at every possible moment. Tojiko's been real helpful to me today, but if you don't want her around we can leave."

[Hello Purvis]

>"You don't want to find out. Now come on guys, we don't need to be at each others throats at every possible moment. Tojiko's been real helpful to me today, but if you don't want her around we can leave."

>"Wait, really?" says Shou.
>"I've been trying to tell you," Tojiko says.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"She's been helping with my trouble that I told you about this morning, it's ended up being way more of a thing than I expected."

[Hello Purvis]

>"She's been helping with my trouble that I told you about this morning, it's ended up being way more of a thing than I expected."

.

>She glances toward Tojiko, who nods. "Are you okay, Murasa?" Shou says. "You were hallucinating this morning already."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"I wish that was all it was. Tojiko can tell you that it's definitely more than that."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I wish that was all it was. Tojiko can tell you that it's definitely more than that."

>"I've seen it twice," says Tojiko. "She just vanishes."
>"Oh, that's much worse..." Shou says, frowning. "Is there anything for it?"
