... Hahaha... er. Well that was sort of an awkward weekend. I've never been hit with that curse before.

Uh.

... Thanks, everyone. For... taking care of me putting up with me .... finding me and bringing me back. ... And feeding me. The whole thing was weird, right? I was a weird kid

It goes without saying, geez.

Sorry for lying to you?

[revengeisalie]

That means?

[revengeisalie]

Huh... that's very interesting! And yeah, it does sound pretty luxurious. So... don't kirin ever get scolded by their caretakers or something?

If children are being abandoned still... it's bad. In my eyes anyway.

[kirinofen]

I didn't like lords so I didn't trust Shouryuu for a while because he was king. But that was a long time ago. He's still an idiot but at least I can say I trust him now.

[kirinofen]

[He laughs.] Depends on the kirin. I liked to wander so I often got scolded for going to dangerous parts of the Yellow Sea and being chased by youma I failed to tame. And Keiki got scolded for being so anti-social and cold. But a kid like Taiki never got scolded.

I fully agree! All is definitely not well in my time.

[revengeisalie]

I can understand that standpoint, though maybe I can't entirely relate to it - considering I was born into a high social class... but I do know that there are jerks out there who like to take advantage of those privileges.

An idiot, really? He doesn't seem really idiotic to me so far.

[revengeisalie]

[And she laughs along.] So in that respect, kirin children are just like all the other children out there.

It will be eventually, though. That is... Hourai becomes a safer place later.

[kirinofen]

The war the current lords were waging when I was kid caused the capital to burn down, so we lost our home. And because of that we had no food and so I was left in the mountains. That's mainly why I don't like them. As for taking advantages, I guess you can find that anyway. Sometimes rulers in my world do that too.

Yeah well you haven't been stuck with him for five centuries.

[kirinofen]

Right but with ten times the responsibility.

[revengeisalie]

Really, it does? That's good news, at least! ... and very motivating.

[revengeisalie]

Oh, right - Muromachi Era, was it? At least with Japan unified, there are no civil wars like that.

That... is an excellent point.

[revengeisalie]

... oh. With choosing the ruler and everyhing?

I'm glad! You could ask Youko about it if you want. She's from that Hourai after all. I've only visited.
