[Matoba takes an ice cube into his mouth, and starts crunching on it. Enma and Sutoku were both workaholics, and that was something he could respect in the officers. The Matoba had long-standing and deep ties to their relationships in the government, and Matoba had no problem forging new ones here to his own ends. Every group, officially sanctioned or no, had their own aims. There was no difference from one to another.]
[Matoba slides a withering look as he turns his body to address Norimune with his good eye, an adjustment for his blind spot on the right. He could see that this night was going to stretch out for a while.] You are going to need to be more specific, Inspector. If you mean that dead youkai on the floor there, I've never seen him before. [He sips his water. This is not his first rodeo.]
