Otis didn’t understand why the others dragged him into the group, not when he hadn’t really spoken to any of them at all. He wasn’t lonely, nor was he particularly bored, and the strigidae would have been perfectly content with zoning out in a relatively nice-looking temple while he mentally reviewed all that he had learned. Well, that wasn’t to say that he couldn’t just do his review in a group instead of by himself. While Helena discussed tea and Rodrick discussed smells, Otis craned his head backwards, letting his eyes fall into the depths of the sky. The heat of the day was comfortable, and the buzzing of the insects enjoyable. The tantos he had forged and inscribed at the Kirizanto Forge weighed heavily against his shoulders, the pleasant heft of time well-spent. Maybe he’ll get Rodrick or Helena to test them out later. It had always been his intent to utilize the inscriptions in his bullet crafting, but if Otis was going to make a bunch of weapons in the meantime, he may as well make them good.

Who knew, maybe his gun will get a blade one day.

Such thoughts would have to be entertained at a later time though. Sensing a disturbance behind him, Otis turned his head all the way around, seeing the girl that summarily used their group to evade capture by suspicious individuals in suits and shades. Kaganomiya Seirin, was it? His horrifically twisted head tilted to the side at the name, but he couldn’t place it. She had to be some famous person’s daughter though, if she was forced to sit on the stage of the conference without actually being allowed to speak. His eyebrows raised up slightly, before saying, rather flatly, [color=f7941d][b]“We need someone to take pictures for the group. Join us and stop diving into other groups. That’s what Japanese people find rude.”[/b][/color] Maybe it was strange, an otherworlder like him lecturing a native like her on cultures and all, but Otis was never one to linger…

[color=f7941d][b]“We’re mostly Arcanis though, so it’s fine. What’s the Kaganomiya family? Do you know any locals’ secret sites? Got money on you? What can you do? Are you in trouble? Will you be in trouble? There a place for pinicking nearby? Would assassins go after you if you’re unprotected? You need a better disguise. A moustache will help.”[/b][/color]

…but perhaps that was a problem, in and of itself.
