[ACTION]

"Miss? Are you a ghost?"

So what if I am, child?

"Wow, look at that! She has no feet! That's so cool!"

E-excuse me! It's rather rude of you to point it out --

"Lady, can we touch your wisps? Pleeeeeeease?"

Why should -- ... *sigh* Fine. But only for a little bit.

"Whooooa! My hand passes right through it! Awesome!"

Are you FINISHED?

"Lady, you're gonna beat back the mean Qin and Fae people, right?"

...Well, I shall certainly --

*wibble*

...Yes. I will beat them all back. Don't worry about a thing.

"Yaaaaay! You're a nice ghost!"

*So did you get to witness that less than curmudgeonly display? Feel free to tease her about it. We hope you're wearing rubber, though.*

Well I'm certainly going to worry less about haunted forests and ghosts if they're all like you.

[departed_child_of_gods]

A-aaah! I was merely being tolerant of them! You have no idea how annoyed I was with their presence! Glad they're gone!

[chump_samurai]

These people were once your kin, weren't they?

[departed_child_of_gods]

Yes, but I am a bourei now. My past connections are irrelevant! Even I'm not so tactless as to be mean to children though!

[chump_samurai]

The difference between demons and humans is smaller than you think.

[departed_child_of_gods]

Hmmph. You sound like a certain damnable Buddhist I know. Forgetting the differences between youkai and humans is just foolish.

[chump_samurai]

Maybe it is. I'm just some guy, after all. Don't know much about anything.

[No bitterness, just pure honesty.]

[villain_of_this_play]

It seems the children like your presence.

[He chuckles, floating down from where he's been hovering]

You are more tolerant then most would be.

[departed_child_of_gods]

It's not tolerance. I simply am not heartless enough to be rude to a child. A weakness, I know.

[phobophage]

Why do you let those tiresome morons do what they want?

[departed_child_of_gods]

*Maaaan, how many people saw that?

It's simply not worth the effort of dealing with the repercussions of striking them, is all. I would've been much more blunt with them otherwise.

[phobophage]

I'd just have scared them off.

[departed_child_of_gods]

*Aw crap that's a good point.*

W-well, a war is about winning hearts and minds, you know! You're supposed to make the enemy look like the terrible monsters, not yourself.

[phobophage]

You're just making excuses. But I suppose there's some truth in that. I just don't bother that kind of thing because I'm not very good at that. I'll just make the enemy too terrified to fight us instead.

[departed_child_of_gods]

How did you -- I mean, don't be preposturous. I am simply stating what I think.

[phobophage]

Oh, come on, it was blatantly obvious. Quit being a moron about it. Everyone forgets or makes mistakes.
