[ Discarding away appeal now would be an obvious attempts to lose allure; it would only serve to deepen interest. It would be pointless, besides, he would prefer to have the spotlight of attention on him. For better or worse. Of course, he still hopes for the better despite having a tint of awareness. No, she may not be the same Shuten Douji he can find within the pages of text, he knows of differences, but there is reason enough to be wary.]

Would it make a difference? What's a human to an oni, anyway? Meat or not, it likely means very little. Unless you're feeling peckish.

[ That's what amounts to a joke here. ]

Now I have to wonder if oni are vulnerable to illnesses. Wouldn't that be something?

[ his mystery strikes her then, and she wonders if he would have answered her question in earnest were she anyone else. oni love to brawl, and shuten is no exception — it's better for him, probably, if she assumes the boy would fall apart if treated roughly. ]

not for you just yet, sweetie

fufufu ... oh, it would be. oni are the cause of disease, after all. harbingers of plagues and epidemics

or at least, that's what they used to say

for an oni to be sick is far too ironic, even for me

[ The short answer is no. The full answer is far more complicated and attributed more to his whims and fancy. There is nothing to be gained, nor would he garner favor through lauding his own ability and accomplishments. There is much for him to learn through his life journey. Besides, actions do speak louder than words, and all that. ]

Yes, I am aware of what's been said and documented in stories. Not only disease but they're also followed by disaster and misfortune. So I do suppose it would be far too ironic, although who knows given the present circumstances. Ah, but I won't speculate.

Now, as for there being no plans to consume me. Yet. What about something else? Before you ask if we can meet, then I would prefer to extend that invitation first.

How about it?

Just be sure to leave your herald's mantle at the door.
