[ Seimei may or may not pick up on some of the overly friendly way of manipulating others, but thankfully as a fox he doesn't really mind it. Youkai do similar things to each other (and people) all the time! It's just another form of persuasion and making deals that suit them. And he honestly likes this guy's humor. How sassy. ]

Me? I could never be a bird. I don't have the navigational sense. I'd get lost and need someone to rescue me.

[ He'd rescue him, right? Seimei looks at Charlie with big, faux-innocent eyes, practically begging for help. He could fight the lifeguards technically, but that would mean revealing his youkai nature to the public and obviously be a terrible PR move. He doesn't want to catch negativity when he's trapped in the resort. ]

I'd rather have some drinks here in the shade and cool off. Anyway, I bruise too easily to let them peck at me so hard.
