[h3][center]~Ayumi~[/center][/h3] [color=1b1464]"The seal has held for a...well, a looong time."[/color] Ayumi replied. [color=1b1464]"It should have lasted forever as far as the shrine maidens and monks are aware. They say someone must have meddled with it - which is one reason Lady Dawa has closed the temple, at least to start with."[/color] Ayumi continued. [color=1b1464]"She thinks whoever weakened it might try to speed up the process if they can get in. She's always been a little wary of outsiders, and the fox likely would have played on that fear if she is indeed being influenced by it."[/color] Ayumi hummed quietly to herself for a moment before continued. [color=1b1464]"As for when it would break...I don't know. The monks are doing what they can to slow its destruction, but judging from the way things are going here in this village it might not last much longer."[/color] With a playful smile, Ayumi easily sensed Eith's presence and turned, starting to pet the dog on the head. [color=1b1464]"Who's a good wittle doggy?"[/color] [color=f6989d][h3][center]~Lyssa~[/center][/h3][/color] The pet seemed to surprise Lyssa slightly, but she instinctively leaned into it. She hadn't expected anyone would follow her outside. Still, it was nice that Sel was there to talk with her...and talking about her butt, no less. Lyssa couldn't help but to giggle at the thought. [color=f6989d]"Well, it is a cute butt. One of the best butts I've seen!"[/color] The demon grinned playfully at the comment. [color=f6989d]"And erm, nothing to really talk about? You just looked like you were discussing something with Eith so I decided to make myself scarce. Thought I might see if any of the people here liked hugs, heh~"[/color] Her words seemed truthful enough if one were to take them at face value.
