going to holly heights!!

[wheaten]

Hm, while I'm glad that you've decided to try your hand with me again, your choice is... Well, it is not as bad as others, I suppose, but it's a strange one all the same.

I cannot say I'm excited to be married, nor to be looking after children. Though some of these children may as well be adults by human terms, I would think! Surely they could take care of themselves without a fake parent to watch over them...

However! I do look forward to being able to show my tail without fear, I will at least say. There seem to be many stranger things, so surely a wolf's tail would not be so odd or dangerous... What a relief that will be! Feh, I will be happy to not have the trouble of hiding it. So I suppose that said, as long as there's some alcohol to indulge in, it would not be so bad there!

At least make sure that I have a good "husband," alright? ♥

[chinagirl]

I know of a good husband aru!

[wheaten]

Oh, do you? And what would you say are his virtues? I would be a fine wife, so it's in my interest to make sure we are well matched!

[chinagirl]

Well, he's definitely not a sadist!

[Hmm... Virtues... Well, he DID craft all those voodoo dolls... And he's very intent on killing Hijikata!]

He's really dedicated aru! And a craftsman. His name's Sougo Okita.

[wheaten]

Goodness... What a virtue indeed, that he should not be a sadist! And yet, I must wonder for the rest— Is that a common trait amongst the husbands of the city?

[ She hopes not... ]

But Sougo, is it? I shall remember the name! Though it is rather unusual... A dedicated craftsman sounds like someone who could do well with himself.

[chinagirl]

Uhuh! It's sad, but true. It's like an ocean of sadists aru.

Oh good! Please consider taking him! [To a new house, in a new game, please.]

[wheaten]

My, an ocean of them? What a problem! How do you manage to survive in such a place with such poor company, then? Perhaps that is a better question for me to ask!

[chinagirl]

It's tough! But there's good stuff too! Like free food aru. Plus, it would probably get boring without people like that aru, right?

[wheaten]

If there is free food, then it is always a good thing, in my opinion. But as for the people... Hm, I'm not sure! In this case,I believe boredom would be better.

[chinagirl]

Well, if anyone really bothers you, you could hire the Yorozuya to get 'em off your back aru!

[wheaten]

[ Lightly, ] The Yorozuya? And would that be a band of mercenaries, perhaps?

[chinagirl]

Yeah! That's us! We're the best in Holly Heights!

[Because they're the only one, but still!]

[wheaten]

Well! Then if I need your services, I know a contact.

[ She chuckles warmly ] And it should be nothing else, since I would only hope for the best of service. If I am troubled, I'll be sure to contact you!

[eyeforaneye]

... You're a little too focused on the tail. Is that really so important?

Either way, no one can force an actual family on you. They're barely more than roommates.

[wheaten]

It is quite important! If you were to hide such an important part of yourself for months, you would grow tired of it too. All of the care that I have to take to hide it is truly troublesome, especially when I'm hardly ashamed of it.

[ Hmphs!! But it's not really at anyone, just at the situation. ]

But yes, I imagined it would be so. I cannot imagine anyone else would be excited to have a family they did not forge for themselves. But I should still worry for my potential, ah, roommates, as it were, right?

[eyeforaneye]

I wouldn't bother to hide a physical feature. That kind of thing isn't important to me. [ He rubs at one temple, seeming a little thoughtful. ]

Hn... I have two people I want to get rid of, if you want them. They're a bother to me.

[wheaten]

I would not necessarily say it is important to me either, but rather, it is for self-protection. Or was, should I go here. It's worth hiding if the alternative would cause me considerable strife!

[ But she chuckles, looking amused. ] My, my, I'm not sure if I could take the role of a pawn, especially for people... But perhaps if they are interesting? What makes them such a bother?

[eyeforaneye]

Is there some sort of discrimination related to your physical features back in your world, then? [ Something he's familiar with in a few respects, or at least to being treated differently because of his heritage. ]

Ah. One of them is loud, frequently drunk, often strips, brings home strange women covered in glitter, has an overinflated ego, and is an idiot. The other has a bad reputation, is manipulative, possesses some kind of strange interest in my fighting abilities, and likes to loaf around in strange clothing and eat sweets.

[wheaten]

Essentially, yes. But it's because humans tend to think of me as more than I am. They think I'm a threat to their religions as a god, but I'm nothing more than a very wise wolf. [ She chuckles ] Well, for the most part. Some of them see how silly it is! I have no interest in interfering with their beliefs, but they still defend them quite fiercely.

...Ahh, but I am not sure if either sounds quite suitable, I'm afraid! I'll have to trouble you by asking you to keep them to yourself.

[eyeforaneye]

I don't understand how you'd be a threat to their beliefs. Does your existence somehow preclude that of other deities? Where I come from there are many which are accepted.

Che... I'm not surprised that you don't want them; it's hard to imagine why anyone would. [ Dammit. So close... Well, closer than usual, at any rate. ]

[undeserved]

[ dryly: ] ... Show your tail? I hope you're obeying public decency laws.

[wheaten]

[ And simply in return, ] Oh, only if I should feel like it. You humans are strange things to be so shy of your own bodies that you must cover them up, you know! But, ah, such a form is also quite chilly, so there is that too...

[ But she chuckles, shaking her head ] But joking aside, that's no problem, I assure you. Cutting a hole through clothes to accommodate it is easy enough.

[undeserved]

[ okay, so he's talking to a nudist... or someone not human, obviously. maybe both. ]

Aah... I don't mind so much. Go naked if you want. I just wasn't sure you were talking about a real tail.

[wheaten]

I certainly am! A tail of fine, auburn fur.

[ She laughs more, taking a playful expression ] A wise wolf would only have fur of the highest quality, right?

[undeserved]

Hmm... No. A wise wolf would be the one with the fullest stomach. [ and the one who gets to nap the most... but he'll keep that wise opinion to himself. ] Seeing as you're so concerned about showing it off, though, I'll concede.
