(... smells human, looks human, but what kind of human doesn't freak in the face of an unknown yokai? he could eat you, you know? but alas, he's a familiar, a temple creature whose sole purpose is to help the land. it's almost comical how he gently sets the poor local down, fixes his clothes, a pet pet on the head, there you go.

to the boy who comes, there's a smile, sweet and practiced.)

Hello, young human.

(help he sucks)

I'm looking for the shrine these people happen to worship, to speak to your deity personally due to this transgression. If the local deity of your people would like to strike a partnership, there must be a better way rather than kidnapping. Would you be so kind as to point the way?
