( So, he's getting a partner. Shealtiel doesn't comment on the first part. He's very used to being given grunt work, and in his own eyes, it's what he deserves. He hasn't proven his own worth in any situation. He still doesn't have his spear back, either, which is completely annoying.

But, he glances between the youkai and Yang again, blinking in thought. )

We could... Or we could torture him into submission. ( Why does he sound so eager about that one... ) This shop keeper doesn't sound like he wants death on his word, and it would do better for our reputation to be intimidating if we let him go.

Where are we supposed to find him, though?

I’m joking. [ Kind of. He doubts that a streaker will be able to put up a meaningful fight, and from Shealtiel’s perspective, it’s better if they leave room for plausible deniability. Not that the justice found here is kind. ] Bring the bastard in alive, and the Enma might just give you a better assignment.

[ Shealtiel knows exactly what they need to do. Amber eyes blinks back to the Kyuubi, who does seem a touch dismayed, but not offended. No doubt he’s also dealt with a variety of different characters in Jigokucho, yokai or otherwise. Yang glances back at the blonde. ]

Did you manage to get a look at him?

( With this, the youkai decides to leave them to their work, and Shealtiel places a hand on his hip. )

I saw some kind of weirdo running away from the shop right as I entered. It must have been him, right? I saw way more skin than I would have liked.

( So, it fits the description of a perverted weirdo, at least. Shealtiel glances out towards the street, pointing helpfully down one direction. )

He was heading that way, but he was pretty fast... I wonder if he might be trying somewhere else? If we try to focus on reactions of the crowds of people, that might work.
