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

COMMENT WITH SETTINGS I CAN ROLL WITH ANYTHING ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.

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

[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.

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

...Do you maybe want to take this somewhere that isn't in the middle of the street?

[ open, unbothered laughter ]

I don't mind it like this! But there is something you should know about the demons in this land, sir, if you don't about us yet.

You're the first I've met around here. What is it?

We have no restraint.

Won't you tell me what you're like? I'm so curious.

[well that's promising]

There are a lot of different kinds of demons where I'm from, and spirits, and ghosts. The lines blur.

How are they made?

I don't think they're "made"...

[ I'm waiting for you to explain?? ]

Well... I was born when my progenitor died and one of his cuttings was planted? Since I'm a tree spirit. But some are just animals that lived a long time, or the ghosts of people or things with grudges, and some just kind of happen on their own.

So it's completely different. You were never human at all, sir?

[wrinkles his nose a bit at the idea.]

No, I was definitely never human.

How curious. By my prior understanding of demons, that would be nearly impossible, as the source of it is itself humanity. I'm not sure how to reconcile that with what you've told me. My master is much smarter than I am, so I should tell him of this. Or perhaps you should tell him of this, seeing as your knowledge of it is of course much greater than mine.

I've already told you pretty much all I know.

Nonsense, I can think of plenty of questions you have not answered which should be simple.

[ the more excited he gets the less manners he has ]

Are you nervous? I noticed that you do not seem to like being compared to humans, perhaps that also extends to being in their company?

...Nah, I'm pretty used to humans.

I'm glad to hear it. Then let's go.

... Fine.

[ kya ]

Master is this way! Let's go on foot.

[ turns and starts off in some direction, apparently quite certain of where he's going, glancing back to make sure Tsuyukusa's following ]
