> "Well, Keine'll explain why when you're ready for a history lesson." Mokou says.

> "Mokou drunk the Elixir of Immortality, the Hourai Elixir, many years ago, in an effort to get revenge on a woman who humilated her father. Unfortunetly, the woman was involved in making the Elixir, and had already drunk it herself. As such, they are two immortals locked in combat for eternity, doomed to never erase each other's existance." Keine says.

> "Hey, if she wasn't IMMORTAL I'd have won by now, and be dead bored. I get the satisfaction of killing her every day now."

> "Except when she kills you." Keine says.

> "Quiet."

> "Well, when you became an immortal out of a desire to kill another immortal... it kinda becomes your reason to get up in the morning after a Thousand or so years." Mokou says.

> "No, at least, not good ways." Keine says.

> Mokou cracks her knuckles.

> "All this talk about fish. Can't think about anything else. I know I said I gave up eating a few deaths back. That was for that lifespan. Which lasted about ten seconds."

> "... Anything's better than you going to try and fight Kaguya tonight. You've died enough as it is tonight." Keine says.

>Let's get some lamprey cooked up!

> "Gratitude is it? Been years since I've had that! I'll take you up on it then!"

>Let's finish up on cooking the Lamprey, get it seasoned up nice and proper.

> "She's a little more than just my freind, she's my most trusted ally. She is also the silent vigil over the village. Even before my time, and long after mine passes, she will always be watching over the humans, protecting them from harm." Keine says.

> "You're flattering me. I'm just an immortal, rage-filled being who lives to fight her foe." Mokou says.

> "Keep telling yourself that. You care about the normal humans, if you admit it or not." Keine replies.

> You dish up the lamprey.

> "Usually, I'd make a comment about me being red and white... but I'm only red right now due to all this blood... so..." Mokou says, accepting the food.

> Mokou eats as if she hasn't in weeks, which, judgeing by the whole immortal thing, might be the case.

> "..." Mokou is silent after wolfing down the first lamprey.

> "I guess you could say I like my food 'well-done'. Human term for near burnt." Mokou says, happily taking the lamprey back.

> "Rare being near-raw, and medium being... normal. With Medium-Rare and Medium-Done being inbetween the extremes." Keine says, before clapping. "That's something! You could offer those levels of cooking! Youkai will probobly appreciate a more rare-cooked meat than humans, after all!"

> "Well, it's hard to judge. I don't know how long it takes to burn. Well-Done is when it's almost at the point when it'll start burning. It's done pretty much how I like it though." Mokou says.

> "Don't be rude to the sparrow and go fight her only to die and lose it all." Keine says to Mokou.

> "Like she'll kill me!" Mokou laughs.

> "I mean don't even fight her tonight." Keine says.
