Hearing his greeting as she gave a nod of her head [color=f7941d]“You are correct, I’m Yuki the Oni,it seems my reputation precedes me! I'm the best Oni you will ever meet of course, don’t let any of those other Oni tell you otherwise”[/color] A big grin on her face as she pounded her chest in pride. Noticing the peculiar squint he was giving her as she turned her head side to side peeking over her shoulders making sure that he was looking at her and not someone else. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“My, my, quite familiar with my kin you say? And these ‘Hobbies’ it sounds like you may have had a good time in the past”[/color] Yuki started to laugh until he gave her the friendly warning. [color=f7941d]“Oh? Me? Not behaving myself? I couldn’t ever imagine causing any trouble or resorting to shenanigans…..there is no need to worry your little head off about that”[/color] giving him a small wink as she clasped her hands behind her back and leaned in towards him in a teasing manner.[color=f7941d] “besides what about Io….what if she is the one that is into shenanigans this timeeeee”[/color] Yuki teased playfully still keeping things light. [h1][/h1] Though she did take his warning to heart, knowing how important this mission was. Knowing that she would have to be on her best behavior, even if her instincts and urges to stir things up kicked in. She knew she would have to keep them all under control and under wraps. [h1][/h1] …. [h1][/h1] After time had passed and they had gotten closer to their destination Yuki glanced at Shizuka as she gave a small nod of acknowledgement, hanging back as she came to a halt. Her ears focused in on the conversation that was being had nearby. [color=f7941d]“That may be true….once you get a better grasp of his state of mind, then maybe we can show ourselves, it may be a better approach, so there isn’t that initial negative reaction if he does see us with you from the start”[/color] Yuki whispered to him in understanding as she agreed with the idea, deciding to hang back while Shizuka made the initial contact, while keeping herself ready if she was needed.
