Of course Nemu knew that other people wanted to join this mission. But nobody was taking any initiative to try make a group to do it in the first place. Thus the cat had decided to take the quest so that anyone interested would actually step forward. Which is a plan that worked out quite well. He turned to the Oni and gave her a slight smile and a half bow,
"Oh? Sure thing, my friend. Please do accompany me." He responded in formal speak, but in a casual manner. He turned away to continue on his original path, but he was interrupted by a... Ookami. Nemu felt a chill go down his spine again when it spoke to him.
The spirits have failed me, again. He sighed inwardly, rolling his eyes. This guy was really.. obnoxious. What he'd expect from a wolf anyway.
He turned to the wolf, his expression full of irritation,
"Who are you calling a swindler? If you want this job so badly, why didn't you do anything first? Like hell I'd do this job myself. It's a trick to pick up the quest so that those who want to join aren't lollygagging around like you." He retorted in an irritated tone. It was uncharacteristic of him to respond in such a fashion, but the mere scent, presence and attitude of this wolf really bothered him. He clicked his tongue in disgust as he turned to walk away, yet again.
"Let's go, Oni-ko." He said with a sigh. He didn't know the girl's name, so he just decided to called her 'Oni child' since she was quite obviously younger than him.
Hopefully someone else who wasn't a disgusting canine with a bad attitude would join them. Hopefully another cat. Maybe. The chances were slim, especially with this doggy around.
