Alright. [And he stands up so he has enough room, as the twig suddenly, impossibly grows into a full sized staff, complete with a metal head and jingly rings.]
[ and of course his eyes widen in surprise. it's almost like seeing the transformations from his friends' weapons, but from a twig? that's different. ]
Very cool. How do you fight with it - do you just whack people or what?
Yeah? What else would I do with it? The metal end is pretty heavy so it packs a punch. [He twists it in his hands with the casual confidence of someone finally handling their preferred weapon. From the way it moves you can tell there's a significant weight to the end as he says.]
I don't know; it's not like I've ever fought someone with a staff.
[ he is watching how it moves with the eye of someone who knows weapons, though. ]
You could really do a number on someone with that if you hit them right, huh? [ so that's how otome died? ] How often do you have to use it? I thought you were supposed to be some kind of doctor.
No? It's my job to protect the forest and the ayakashi that live in it. There's always some onmyoji sniffing around trying to "get rid of the threat" that ayakashi pose.
No. I mean, some are but they're generally either defending their territory or corrupted by the yakou?
Onmyoji are humans that are trained in fighting ayakashi. Some of them even capture ayakashi and use them to fight against their will. [Now you see why he was mad about pokemon.]
[There’s nothing romantic or special about this moment. Or even unusual, really. Leo laughing at something he said, that wasn’t a joke, and yet not feeling mean spirited really.
But still, he’s a bit amped up from his shinkicking threats, a bit indignant, and mostly fond. And it’s that weird concoction of emotions that prompts him to finally act on something that’s been lurking at the back of his head, and he leans over to grab Leo’s face and kiss him.]
[ well, that's one way to shut him up. he stops laughing immediately, thoughts going completely blank with shock. when tsuyu pulls away, leo stares at him in stunned silence, for once no joke or a way to tease on the tip of his tongue. ]

...But you guys aren't, like, actively hurting them, are you?

no subject
That's... not cool. Shouldn't they just focus on the ones being controlled? On helping them?
no subject
Or well, that's what I thought. And maybe that was the case for most of them. Because we never tried talking.
no subject
Well. That's one way to handle things, I guess. Can't say I wouldn't fight back if someone just attacked me out of nowhere, either.
no subject
Most of them still suck but... There was one I met that... well she had an overprotective big brother too.
[So they bonded.]
no subject
[ trying to keep all these threads straight jeez ]
You must be pretty good at this protector thing to handle all that stuff. Big strong tree vibes, huh?
no subject
[Anyway, he huffs.]
Of course. Byakuroku told me I had to grow into a big strong tree so the little bird could rest in my branches. My brother, I mean.
