>"Tenshi, when did I lie to you? I said I wanted to show Sanae part of Bhava-Agra and check on a few things while I was there. This is exactly what I did. You were welcome to come along, but you choose to stay here."
>"And if you think that only reason I wanted to see them with my own eyes is because you were the one who said they were fine, think again. I would not have felt any more comfortable about what you said if that had come from the mouth of any other celestial, I swear."

>Pick up the sword, and try to cut one of the vines holding Tenshi up, at a point a fair distance away from her body

>"Gee, I don't know," says Tenshi, "Maybe the part where you ran off to Bamboo Forest! Where is your girlfriend at, get tired of abandoning me and abandon her instead? Maybe you'll get a kind of ping-pong abandoning going now! And don't feed that shit, if any other celestial said that you'd just nod and go on. You certain wouldn't ditch them to go check up and make sure they were right behind their backs while they were doing your job for you! You can't even begin to admit it, either! And then you people wonder why I don't want anything to do with any of you!"
>The vines are bunched up between her feet and the branch she is dangling from, giving you a good foot worth of clearance. You try to cut one of the vines. It is a little dry, so it doesn't cut as smoothly as you would like, but you cut it without difficulty.

>"The only part where I was 'running off in the forest' was when Marisa was chasing after me. Unless you'd have rathered she beat me up and leave you here?"
>"And again, how did I ditch you? You said you wanted to stay down here."
>Keep cutting those vines

>You hear Tenshi take a deep breath. "You. Left. Town. And. Ditched. Me. You! Fucking! Idiot!"
>You suspect the the vines are probably keeping her from trying to throttle you. Regardless, you start to cut them away. She struggles harder against them.

>You sigh, and keep cutting.
>"Oh yeah, go into that aloof silence you types do so well," says Tenshi. "That'll make all of the you being wrong go right away. It always does, doesn't it? When you even half-recognize it in the first place rather than just pretending it was totally the other person's fault."
>You sever a handful of vines, and the cocoon around Tenshi slackens enough she's able to struggle loose. She has seen it coming, so she was already flying, though losing support from the vines causes her to flop awkward in midair. She floats over and grabs her hat.

Oh, it's yours. And who was out here dealing with that stupid snake while you were busy ditching me? I think it was me. So it looks like I was doing your job. How about that!"

Suggesting:
"And what if she had been more than simply injured?"
"Accidents will occur whether we know about them or not. I am not perfect and neither are you, we are not omniscient."

Suggest: "Why doesn't it count? It did happen."

Bah I dunno how to deal with this sort of person

(I have to say I love your Tenshi. So infuriating to deal with well also very believable.)

>Tenshi glares at you a bit more. "You're damn right you were wrong! Why didn't you even say you were leaving? I wouldn't have gone after the stupid snake if I knew you weren't gonna be here to back me up soon. And my assumption is totally correct, we weren't talking about Marisa!"

Oh boy, this is going to get a lot more difficult now that I'm being asked questions to which I don't actually know the answer.

Fake Edit: I can't believe I missed the end of the last topic, where non-Hinanai celestials apparently showed concern for Tenshi's well-being. Mental Note get! (May be used in this conversation, if we absolutely need Tenshi to be wrong about something.)

> "It is enough to show that blind faith is not enough. Your mother admitted to me she was lucky to avoid injury, and I was not informed of your sister's condition prior to her battle with Marisa. There very well could be others that were not so lucky."
> "I did not say I was leaving because I did not realize you wanted me to. In addition, I know nothing about tsuchinokos, and given how you volunteered to go find it, I didn't think you would want or need backup to defeat a snake."
