[Hmmm. He always did hear the north was cold....... Kumamoto was always wet and humid, too, even in the winter- but it was also fairly warm year-round. He can't imagine what mountainous winters in the north were like.] Hydrangea. Ah, how nice... I am fond of our native camellia, myself.

[A noble flower, some called it... He doesn't miss Tama's reluctant slide into nostalgia, and he wonders what brought it on. What fixation did he have.....]

Haha, well I don't have my bow with me at the theater. [Matoba flexes his left hand, hiding his irritation with its current lameness. Anyway, Tama wasn't too far off.] Not the fletching, no- pierced through the ya itself. There was an ...incident, not too long ago- you may hear some talk about it here and there. Have you heard of the Night Parade?

...In any case, I received an injury and am still recuperating, but I do need to get back to shooting, soon... You are welcome to watch, if it interests you.

[--Okay, hold. They've been standing by the popcorn for like ten minutes now, and it's making Matoba hungry. He pops open the box of Skittles he'd bought for the show and starts snacking. He motions for Tama to follow as he heads towards the auditoriums to get seated for the movie.] Kodoku? Oh, yes. One of our branch members thought to make himself a powerful shiki, but it seems he wasn't able to control what was made...... In any case, I was able to take care of it.

["Take care of it" meaning "fed it to the thing that tries to kill me every month" but, who's counting? Matoba adds through his chewing,] ...Do you mean your eyes?
