[Here's Hijiri  riding around town with Tsuzuki on a tamed Byakko, which protects them from monsters that are around.]

[Tsuzuki sits in the front, holding onto Byakko to steer him.]

Tell us if you see anyone we know, Hijiri.

[akumano_trill]

Alright.

[and passing by Kirimi's house where she stares at them wide-eyed]

[purpledemoneyes]

Wait, wait, maybe we should turn around. I think Kirimi lives around here.

[Byakko lifts his head and tries to look at his riders, as if to ask why Tsuzuki doesn't want to visit her.]

[akumano_trill]

Turn around? Why?

[then he sees the terrified little girl watching them through the window]

... is that her?

[purpledemoneyes]

Hey, I've got an idea. Byakko, open up?

[The tiger continues to purr, and takes a while before he does as told. He wants his scratches first. Then again, when his mouth is open, he purrs even louder.]

I promise. See? He won't hurt a fly.

[To prove his point, Tsuzuki places his hand on the rough side of Byakko's tongue. The shikigami's eyes widened, as id he's surprised and would have liked more warning than that.]

[and she stares at that for a long while]

[purpledemoneyes]

[Byakko gapes wider, as if he wants to yawn. Damnit, Tsuzuki, get your hand out!]

[And incidentally, he shows off all of his teeth.]

You are evil!

[lost_koneko]

[freezes, screams and runs for her life!]
