You are going to make me start thinking I don’t have the appeal to be cute~,” [/color] Hinako said, clearly exaggerating her statement. It was clear that at the very least Edward had some abrasive stance towards her, though she couldn’t directly understand the reason for such. Perhaps he had something against her race, or perhaps there was something to do with him seeing her for what she was, but it wasn’t like her somewhat playful, girlish personality was fabricated. Hinako hardly understood what she was to begin with. Losing her divinity and clinging to life had taken its toll on her. She was still a “divine spirit”, but her only follower was “herself”. [color=ed145b] “Besides, in this comic I read, I heard that men love animal features like fluffy ears and tails. Is that not the case~? Maybe you’d like the touch them to see how they feel, hmm~?” [/color] At this point she was just teasing the man. It was true that she was “human-like”, but her vulpine personality was to be feared. Perhaps it was true that the most playful individual were the most scary. If Hinako decided that there was something “Fun” she would like to do, then it was likely she would do it. But she wasn’t a spiteful person in that regard. She was forgiving, but she wasn’t stupid. There was then the matter of the girl on the floor who had chosen to reveal her nature as a half-woman half-fish. Hinako had heard of these beings. Mermaids were quite different in Japanese mythology, but it wasn’t as if everything in myths were as they seemed. Though different aspects of such did hold a somewhat true basis, it was always the writings of primary human sources, so one must always check their validity. [color=ed145b] “Why yes. I am a Kitsune. And though those stories might be true about playing tricks on people or guardians or being lovers or d-deities, I am pretty normal as they come, I would like to imagine,” [/color] Hinako told the seemingly awestruck mermaid. Were Kitsune really that fascinating? Humans must really have a thing for cute ears and tails. She did know of a few humans that had taken interest in her in the past, but she felt they didn’t have what she wanted. Her mother had been somewhat of a concubine from her understanding, but that did leave her with a bad enough reputation. [color=ed145b] “You’re a Ning- .. err Mermaid, right? That is so cool. I’ve always loved the sea. There is nothing like looking at its massive expanse to calm your nerves sometimes.” [/color]
