[h3][color=thistle]Io[/color] at Kazenosuke's House[/h3] [@PaulHaynek] [@Nakushita] [@AzureKnight] Io regarded both of her companions as they grouped together on the approach. She wondered what exactly would be considered "shenanigans" for her, the thought brought on by Yuki's banter. Perhaps Io's statement earlier about being unable to repair clothing immediately would be considered as such. She gave a faint smile at the thought. Perhaps she was more into shenanigans than any other would expect. Io was surprised at the relative cordiality that Kazenosuke regarded her and Yuki with. It was certainly better than charging them with a sword drawn, at the very least - which was what Io expected given what others had said about him. "[[b][color=thistle]If only.[/color][/b]]" Io muttered in her personal language in response to Kazenosuke's statement about wives. She cast a glance at Yuki as they were both beckoned forth. Io was not sure that she would be the most persuasive type herself, but she also wondered if letting the oni lead the negotiations would be better or worse. Io had a sneaking suspicion that an undead talking about wishing to save lives may be met with incredulity, even if it was true. "[b][color=thistle]We are working together to protect Shizuyama.[/color][/b]" Io put it bluntly. "[b][color=thistle]Even if Shizuyama considers us unlikely allies.[/color][/b]"
