>Miko: YOu note a pile of digging tools a couple yards from Yoshika.

>The four of you get to work and strike the earth! The dirt is easy enough to clear, the group is fast enough that it empties quickly. However, it gets trickier as you get closer to Yoshika. The jiang shi herself is perfectly still, and seems completely unworried, instead babbling away about little mundane things as well as any faerie could. She does helpfully tell you where her arms are, to keep from hitting them. It takes time, but after some work, you have a four foot deep pit in the garden, and finally manage to tug the very dirty jiang shi out of it.

So have you thought of any plans for making Seiga return to her house with Yoshika without expressing said desire ?

>Miko: That's an excellent question. She might have been doing it to make a show of herself, but Seiga really isn't the kind of person to cut off her nose to spite her face like that.
