> That's gotta be the guardian. Wow, the shawl kinda looks like a fish's tail when it's all wavy like that.
> Be quiet like a mouse and get behind Tenshi. If she's gonna fight or run, bring out that chair and whack her upside the head!
> That must be her guardian. Look at that shawl, it makes her look like a fish. Kinda cool.
> You get behind Tenshi as quietly as possible. Mokou stands off to the side and puts her hands in her pockets.
>Or, get ready to jealous her up like we did Reisen.
>One would be impressed about that shawl, but we got Ran, so suck it fish-shawl!
>...Okay, one of those would be pretty sweet.
> You prepare to make Tenshi jealous, like you did with Reisen.
> Ran's definitely better than that fish-shawl.
> ...Well, the shawl is pretty cool.
> Just imagine posin' with one of those flapping in the wind!
> ... And then it gets stuck in a door or some oni berk grabs it. Yeah, probably better off without it.
> That would be awesome...
> ...No, you'd get choked.
> Tenshi gapes when she sees the shawl woman. "Iku?!"
> Keine sees Ran and curtsies politely. "A kitsune. It's an honor to meet you."
> Ran bows her head in greeting.
> The shawl woman repeats the gesture, then turns to Tenshi. "Eldest Daughter, where have you been? Your parents are worried sick about you!"
> Tenshi crosses her arms defensively. "I went exploring on the surface. That moon up there's pretty cool, right? I wanted to see it for myself!"
> "You were specifically told
not to leave because it was too dangerous!"
> "Yeah? Well compared to the surface Bhava-agra's pretty boring!"
> "Do you value excitement over your own safety?!"
> "Like I care about that!"
> "But
we care. Your parents and I care." She rubs her temples. "You are going to be in so much trouble with them when you get back."
> "Who said I was going back?! There's still a lot to do on the surface, isn't there?" She gestures to Kikuri wildly. When Tenshi draws her sword, Keine and the shawl woman immediately go for their spellcards. Mokou steps forward and takes her hands out of her pockets. The villagers are starting to run from the scene, now. Uh oh.
