Probably a bunch of seagulls in trenchcoats.

Nearly time to be...

Akutou shrugs.

"Main thing's that we got th' non-belligerents out an' got ourselves out wi'out much hurt. Ain't a bad evenin' f'r that."

"Don't think it quite were Yume-Do, neither," Akutou says. "When I's there yesterday with th' Princess, it stunk somethin' powerful. Didn't have that stink here."

She cheeps. Oh no! "Yes! Uhm! You've been touched by the Rot ," And Chuchu repeats, "You don't have to be afraid. It's just a touch -- we can get it healed right up so it doesn't become an infection." Her ears lower shyly. "Said I ain't skeert," Akutou says. "But you're right; keepin' an' infection...

That boy's gonna be trouble, Akutou thinks, and he rejoins the others.

"So, what all's next?" he asks Yukara, Ayako, and Kenji. "Y'all're all okay?"

" A little, " She answers honestly. " But it's just you. The Rot's brushed you. Don't need to be scared, we can get it out, 'cause it's only trying to make an opening right now, not get through one. " Chuchu nods earnestly. " It stands out here because of the magic, I think. You'd be unconscious of...

"'Kay," She cheeps back, squeezing again. Adults are so confusing sometimes. "If your nose is being mean, can I show you something special, instead?"

"If m' nose's bein'--" Akutou cuts off. "Chuchu, what's that even mean, m' nose's bein' mean? You ain't smellin' nothin' off?"

He shrugged "like, like a month or two ago. Asahi is just you know, a guy. He's one that's able to like do things for people if you want it kept quiet." He spoke in a slightly hushed tone. Welp, that puts that t' bed , Akutou thinks, and he nods. "I know that kinda guy," he replies. "Hell, I've bee...

He seemed a little confused "I don't see, I mean I lifted it off Asashi. He's got plenty and I didn't think he'd miss it..." "'Bout when'd you do that, son?" Akutou asks. "An' remin' me who Asashi is, please. I've met a whole awful lotta folks here, an' I ain't always able t' keep straight who's wh...

Chuchu lets Akutou hold the jar so she can hold both hands. She squeezes and, softly, murmurs under her breath, "It's okay. If you let yourself get scared scared, you'll feel worse worse."

"Ain't skeert, Friend-o'-Humans," Akutou says. "Just smellin' somethin' rank, an' I can't place th' smell."

"I mean, well," Akutou knows a response is called for, but he stammers over it somewhat. "I get that y' can't be e'rywhere all at once," he continues after a moment. "An' it's a sad truth as there's al'ays gonna be some as slip past 'r slip by, some b'cause they get missed, an' some b'cause they wan...

"Oh I uh," He seemed hesitant but he sighed "I lifted it off someone a few days back." He murmured. The scene was slowly returning to what passed for normal here as the guard managed to disperse the remaining stragglers and now only one or two stayed to watch over the scene. "Like I said, son, I ai...

"O' course," Akutou says, and he pops his pickle into his mouth before taking the Nezumi's paw in his hand.

She'll find it callused heavily.

I'm catchin' a few words o' this, Akutou thinks. Wonder if'n I oughta ask 'bout--

His thought trails off, and he fights to keep his face calm.

Who done let off?

"How c'ld we do that kinda thing?" Akutou asks. "An' I ain't aimin' f'r ornery, either. It's just outside my 'xperience, s' I'm foggy on th' details."

Another wry grin.

"I ain't much accustomed t' city life, as might be 'magined. An' it'd hafta start fr'm cities."

Shoji looked a bit lost for a moment "I-I don't know really. Mom came home and was acting all weird but kept saying everything was ok, she was like calmer than usual, or I guess calmer than she has been." He ran a hand through his longish hair "I went into my room and then....it was weird I was som...

Akutou shakes his head.

"This's why I stick t' huntin'," he says. "Much simpler. Also puts food on th' table."
