> Turn back to the fairy.> "Just a little friendly sparring session."
> "Raiko and Wakasagihime."
> "They were rather evenly-matched, which surprised me a bit. Raiko is no slouch."
> Check back. Can we see Raiko? If so, how does she seem to be holding up?"
> Look back to the family.> "Looks like Raiko did. Must've ended while I was here."
> Is Raiko stronger than either of our components?
> "More so than Shinmyoumaru or Seija."
> "Reasonably."
> "Do you remember the tsukumogami incident a little while ago? They were responsible for that."
> "...I guess not, then. Well, they did."
> Nod.> "Got 'em pretty good, yeah."
> How did that sound? Taunting, frustrated, something else?
> Raise an eyebrow.> "Hmm?"
> Look slightly confused.> "Uh, okay."
