[quote=@Pakde] [u]2:30 P.M.[/u] [color=ec008c]"A bit of both."[/color] answered the elf, now looking at her two other companions. A bit late for a nice introduction, but she did it anyway. [color=ec008c]"Miss Yvonne, Mister Chounan. This is Keito, one of my... [i]surveyors[/i]. We will enlist him into our merry band of... investigators. Say, Keito. What rumors circulate on the street regarding the assassination, and how far people had gone with their guesswork? [b][i]In vino veritas[/i][/b]. Perhaps some nobles had a slip of tongue here end there after having a few rounds?" [/color] [/quote]As his turn, he made a small bow on Keito and started to speak. [color=bc8dbf][b][i]"I'm Chōnan of Kagetane Clan. Gold ranking of Advenetur's Guild of Kinderance. The way you flashed your tail on the tavern. Familiar stinks smell of a fox. There is no doubt you are a kitsune. You and I came from the same origin. But that doesn't mean we still bring our rivalry between yokai and human. I'm a descendant of the shinto family who practice Onmyōdō and gave offering to yokai like you. Unfortunately, my clan lost from the clan wars, so I'm more like an exiled. Back to more important matter. Having your abilities will be a great help to our mission. Kitsune like you target the bad traits of humans, such as pride, greed, and vanity for the sake of entertainment. Can bring down even the most devout priest. Rarely attack women but prefer to possess them instead. Then, using kitsune ability, to lure an unsuspecting men to their doom. [/i][/b][/color] [color=bc8dbf][b][i]Anyway. Once we done good for the sake of the mission from time to time. I shall give you an offering. Both Shiny coin and Fried Tofu.[/i][/b][/color] To everyone in the party. [color=bc8dbf][b][i]"We should better be off. Name the place, I shall lead you guys there."[/i][/b][/color] Keito is indeed powerful and useful in the mission but Chōnan know what Keito's weaknesses. Cutting all the tails will make him lost his source of power and enemies from foreign land must not be underestimated. Originally, he had been keeping an eye with his instinct on the two female party members and their surroundings. Keeping his distance between Jazdia and Yvonne so he could response easily whoever on getting attacked especially inside the tavern. With additional party member, he must widen his range to respond in further. Chōnan will lead the party to designated location. He also going to share his ration to the everyone from his party. It is rice ball that handily made by himself, sticky rice formed into triangular shape with a filling of vegetable, meat and natural preservatives.
