>Aya shrugs. "I've not heard anything about any gems. If she hid it, I guess she wouldn't really advertise it."

>"Nothing spectacular, actually," says Aya. "It recognizes our land as ours, and their land as theirs'. We kinda ignored each other anyways, so there wasn't that much of a problem to begin with. ...Well, I guess it was important for humans, they might have just thought us to be kinda legendary, back then."

>"Maybe," says Aya. "I'm guessing you're not so much interested in Maya as you are hard to reach places, am I right? Ones that no one would really think about?"
>Momiji doesn't seem to be particularly perturbed.

>"It's not hard," says Aya, "You're looking for something around here."
>She glances over to Momiji. "Hey, can we have a bit of privacy, Miji?"
>Momiji frowns. "Aya, you're not going to try to-"
>"No I'm not going to try to escape," says Aya through and heavy sigh. "Give me some credit."
>"Fine, fine," says Momiji, standing up. "I've been needing to stretch my legs anyways. Don't do anything dumb, Reisen. I'll be around the edge of town if you need me." She departs.

>"I think she did," says Aya as Momiji leaves. "Nothing so formal as a treaty there, though. That's not their style."
>She looks, to make sure that other tengu is gone, then looks back to you. "Get me out of here, and I'll tell you everything. And I'll show you my gallery. And don't act like you aren't interested, I've seen how you look at Eirin."

>Teehee.
>"Not a bit," says Aya. "She sympathizes with me, it's just she's got a job to do. Why do you think she left without any real argument? Besides, it'd just be your word versus mine."
>She ponders for a moment. "I'll even go hunting in your place, if you want. You can't get a sweeter deal than that."

>"The official reason is public perversion and all that. The real reason is because she went after the Enma, and the Enma made it difficult to keep ignoring her as we had. The particular sticking point is that she refuses to turn over all of her pictures. Not that I can blame her, the Enma made clear she intends to destroy them. So Aya suffers for her art."
