Accepting Gin's offer of tea with a thanks, Kimiko commented, "Kitsune? I guess you'll get along with our resident fox, though he is rather eccentric." She'd always had the notion that fox spirits were mischievous and deceitful, though Gin seemed different. At least, from what she had seen of her anyway. 

[i]No, she definitely is different,[/i] Kimiko thought, pondering over her reply to her question about her past life. She was much too timid to be a cunning fox...or perhaps it was all an act. Perhaps it was one of her tricks. After all, it wouldn't be the first time someone had pretended to be something they weren't just to be in favor with her family. [i]But you've moved here to get away from that,[/i] said a voice inside her. [i]Who would know what your family name meant over here?[/i] Kimiko sighed, deciding to confront that headache later. For now, she was enjoying her favorite cuisine and the company wasn't terrible. 

"I'm the descendant of an Ame-Onna," she replied to Gin's question as she began eating her meal. "Don't worry, I don't kidnap children when they cry during the rain," she added deadpanned. Most legends portrayed the Ame-Onna as a melancholy and terrifying spirit, bringing the rain with them and devouring children when they cried. Others believed that she was a bringer of good luck, making crops flourish with her arrival. Kimiko had met quite a number of half-yokai outside of her family who believed in the former tale and she'd lost count of how many of them had asked her if the legends were true.
