[The trees don't tell Daisuke what's coming until it's basically already upon him. All he gets is a brief sense of 'be careful' before even he can sense the ball of raw power coming toward him at... A rather sedate pace, really. Maybe that's why?]

[ actually starting to flush in the face of all that gratitude ~~and senpai noticing him?!~~ w-waving a hand ]

I told you, 's fine... I don't really get company that ain't human, anyway, so. Nice having that change.

[Blinks, interested and a little pleased]

You get along with humans?

...Yeah. Kind of stupid t' not, nowadays? Not all of 'em, but there's a village on th' edge of my forest that knows how t' be good neighbors.

Ah... that's really nice to hear.

Huh. Y'don't mind?

Nope! I actually spent most of the time I was away from home with humans.

[ CONSIDERS THIS ]

Y'eat human food?

Sometimes? I don't usually eat at all, but if someone goes to the trouble of offering it to me...

I can cook it, too.

Ah. One of th' inn worker's kids knows I like wagashi an' keeps trying t'bribe me by giving me more'n I should eat; figured I'd ask if y' had the taste for it, too.

Oh, yeah. Sweets are nice. But are you sure I should be taking your offerings?

Ehn. Kid's not really offering so much as demanding? And they'd go t' waste, otherwise.

[shrugs!]

If you aren't worried about it I won't worry about it. You can count on another mouth to eat them.

[ thumbs up, followed by a "follow me" gesture before he sticks his hands in his pockets and starts loping for the forest's edge ]

'm not worried, so yeah. Arrangement we've got is... humm, nontraditional?

[follows easily, relaxed even at speed.]

Yeah, I'm no good at traditional. Never have been, but the time away didn't help.

[ he's not even intending to go fast, he's just got a stupidly long stride... ]

Guess it wouldn't. You can get away with it better 'n I could, though.

I guess... Well, I'm involved here so it should be fine.

Figured me out, huh? ...Nah, 'm kidding.

[snorts, light hearted]

I'll need a lot more time for that if I ever do.

... 'm gonna take that as a compliment.

Works for me.

[ they break out of the forest not far from a small shrine; not fancy at all, although it looks like it's been rigged with a small icebox...? Daisuke trots over to it with a hum.

where they came out also borders the town proper (if something so small can be called a town), with a sort of park in between the woods and the bustle of people. ]

[follows!! looking around with interest. this feels kind of exposed, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...]

[ there's a charm over the area, so that might be why; not anything huge or powerful, just the kind of small suggestion to look elsewhere than any number of much smaller critters might use.

Daisuke, meanwhile, is pulling out and making a face at a really fancy looking wagashi platter, offering it in Tsuyukusa's direction with one hand while digging around for more ]

[Kind of snerks as he accepts it, raising an eyebrow.]

Offered with bad intent or something?

Kid thinks 'cause it's fancy and it's something I like it means I gotta do what he wants.

[ brightening up as he pulls out a much more modest little tupperware with onigiri in it, though ]
