Really, the lack of interest the youth was displaying in her request was quite disheartening. Most people would at least display wariness about being asked for their blood but this boy... well, maybe he just hadn't realised what she was asking for? "This one would at least hope that you might consider the issue. There is not a single resident in the district that wants Jiangshi or vampires to be forced to take their meals."

The police would have a horrible time trying to find the right culprit when the more hazardous dietary requirements were involved and bringing in the undead was far from a simple task. Many were used to having to avoid being blamed or caught when mysterious injuries were on the rise.

Hopefully, this dealt with the oni's questions. If he wasn't going to sign up... well, she could maybe help with the cat issue.

"How can I be an illegal alien three times? I'm only from space once..." the dragon wondered aloud. Maybe there were multiple places in space to come from that counted and this detective had worked out how many it was from where she had landed. The other meaning of the word seemed to be missed in favour of the terribly obvious: dragons came from space and were therefore extraterrestrial lifeforms. Not that many people would address them like that.

Shun's proffered hand was gently taken by the dragon's claws and poked, turned over, and generally inspected. Maybe there was something wrong with it? She wasn't sure, but at least the question that came with the hand was quite interesting: "Oh, the officer that found me asked me the same question! I didn't have one then but they told me to use Ryuuko and even showed how to write it."

"Dragon Child" was not, however, an imaginative name by any stretch.
