[He JUST told you NOT to do that, Tama. He makes a face, and for that, adds] It's only a tab if it's paid, but don't worry; I won't let you forget.

[He feels Minakami's disapproving gaze on him and turns a sly smile back on it. If he has something to say, he imagines he will say it... But for now, business.]

Have you not met your clan leaders? ...No, before I ask that, you are familiar with King Enma, correct? [He assumes, if they're from Japan.] For a god that has lived for thousands of years, he acts as if his control on this city is slipping, but in comparison, a feat of magic like this is not very much, don't you think?

Not to imply the Enma is the one doing it. [Surely not. ...He wonders if they have heard all the rumors of recent happenings, of the Night Parade, or had been there when the Daitengu implicated the Enma at their own funeral.]

[But they would not have been able to sense the Daitengu's might just in seeing them, he supposes- he could hardly feel it himself, given how well the monster concealed itself. So he tries another tack.]

Let me ask you this. Why do you think ayakashi are drawn to the human realm?
