[ Y'ALL WANTED A POST FOR TREE~~FUCKING~~

COMMENT WITH SETTINGS I CAN ROLL WITH ANYTHING ]

[...

. . .

punches him in his stupid face.]

You see, sir, I have absolute faith in my master, and he has told me that you are a demon. But you do not show the usual signs of one, and so I am very curious why not.

I have done worse things.

[ leading him up to the castle, and then inside, and there's a great foyer and tapestries and elegant hallways and the like. he leads him into a large room with chairs and couches, obviously intended to be a waiting area of some sort. ]

Would you like anything? Food? Drink?

...? You're a demon too, aren't you? Can't you feel me?

[eying him a little strangely at that, but he'll save that question for a more private space, probably.]

Just water would be fine.

[nnnnot getting drunk in a town full of humans no thanks]

[OWW?? hand over nose???

a-and yet kind of... laughing even as he looks shocked and offended. The bodyguard goes to pull Tsuyu away!]

...It's okay. You just don't know anything about my family, right?

[ what would a drunk tree spirit even look like...

nodding, and then leaving the room to go fetch it for him. when he comes back he's considerably more dressed down, losing his armor in favor of modest-looking silk shirts of elaborate brocade. it's not quite peasant clothing, but it's less extravagant than it could have been.

OFFERING A GOBLET... ]

Feel you? Are you suggesting I should be able to sense a kinship, sir?

"Kinship" might be pushing it. It's more of a proximity thing.

[SNARLS AT THE BODYGUARD]

I don't give two shits about your family, but I'd rather not have you following me into a fucking deathtrap!

See, that's the problem! Thinking I can't handle it...

Even so, it is a detail I have never heard of, nor felt myself. Would you tell me about it?

[he's perched on the back of a couch when Sigmund returns, bare feet swinging idly.

takes the goblet with a nod, eyes it critically, then shrugs and drinks anyway.]

Thanks.

I don't care how capable you think you are! Use some sense!

[ it's just water

not to worry ]

Seating across from him, resting his hands on his knees. straight-backed, etc. etc., totally a monarch and all that.

just. waiting. for Tsuyukusa to be ready or whatever ]

[shrugs]

I'm from really far away. I guess it's just not a thing here. There's not much to tell, except that I can identify other demons and spirits.

He would have stayed out of sight if you hadn't lost your cool.

[drinks all of it pretty fast, then sets the goblet aside and eyes him.]

What else did you want to know?

...Really?

I mean you!

I haven't done anything I shouldn't have.

Spirits, as well? So in your lands, the nature of demons is different? And the manner of producing them?

As a nature spirit, you doubtless have access to a vast array of abilities. Would you mind telling me about them?

I don't mind, but why do you want to know?

I suppose you could call it a simple curiosity. More than that... I may have need of you. Whether or not you choose to accept it entirely up to you, of course.
