[Natori politely ignores the sneeze, though some part of his mind idly wonders if Soma's got a nosebleed from all of the violence he's clearly been a part of. He nods along, face clear as if he's any novice taking advice from a senpai, as if he the pretty-boy actor-exorcist could possibly approach these sorts of tasks in the same way as the man describing them to him.

He can't help but think to himself, wryly, that Soma was right to question whether he'd be able to follow the advice. If his options were do or die, Natori thinks he could muddle his way through it. They're talking about ayakashi, after all, not people; he knows ways to dispose of difficult ayakashi, of leveraging the threat of an exorcism against an unruly spirit. He could probably pull it off. But as much as he hates ayakashi in general, the idea of being actively cruel to them, in the name of furthering the goals of an already too-powerful ayakashi clan leader...

Natori knows what sort of acting jobs he should pass over, the sort of performances that don't suit him.]


I think I do, yes. [He smiles self-deprecatingly, lightly but comically despairing.] But your assessment was likely right the first time, Soma-san. Luckily for me and my employer both, I'm probably better suited to staying on the 'legit' side. I'm sure I'd make a mess of it, and not in the way Tenko-hime might intend me to.
