[And we can't all be nimble, crisis-navigating repression machines, can we? That has its own costs for a human, though not much is evident of it in the man that sits calmly in front of Fig, licking his fingertips of jam.]
[For his part, Matoba presumes that the ayakashi must not be especially powerful, to lack the senses to feel out this world for himself- and thus, not to be treated as an active threat. Like the minuscule spirits that roam the forests, such beings were merely a facet of life, for those who can See. And, unfortunately for Fig, this exorcist has only two modes of regard for such things: that which can be used, and that which is useless.]
Haha, forgive me, [He smiles unseriously, not the least concerned about offense,] I am accustomed to the bumbling old sorts who know very little of modern human ways. But, that makes things a bit easier. You're correct, more or less.
[Matoba reaches a hand out, plucking a strip of bacon from the tray. He dangles it pinched between two fingers over towards the opening of the blanket cave, like bait.]
