>"Then again, I guess you probably understand what it's like becoming a youkai a lot better than I do, so you might have a better idea of what to do than I would."
>"Thanks again, Mystia. I'll try and stop by again on my way back out from the Underground later. And enjoy those books once you get the chance, Tokiko."
>wave to them and head off!
>Once inside, consider hugging the ceiling to avoid another Kisume ambush.

>"I'll take good care of her," says Mystia. "But yeah, I'll do my best to go easy on her."
>"I will!" says Tokiko. She ways as you depart.
>It is not a long flight back to the entrance to the underground. Returning to the cavern, you look back, amazed at how much the view has changed. You know the forest teems with life now, with its own intrigues and groups and such. Odd how knowledge can change things.
>You consider flying, but the stalactites make this a poor idea.

DracoOmega:
>Sling the bag over our front, and try to position it so that the opening would be underneath us as much as possible if Kisume pulled the same stunt as before
>Enter the cavern
E-Nazrin:
>Considering that she tries to mug people who willingly travel to a city of oni, it's unlikely being able to fly would make her hesitate. Not knowing Mary can defend herself now, on the other hand, would catch her off guard.
>Walk back and move before talking if the bucket tries something this time.

>You carry your bag in front of you, and enter the cavern. Having been outside, it takes your eyes some time to adjust to the dimness.

>Oh you'll give her a trick or two, alright.
>You keep a wary ear for the sounds of Kisume, while your eyes adjust to the dimness.
>You suddenly hear some scratching above! Before you can step back, suddenly there is an upside down face less than an inch from yours, looking your in the eyes.
>"Hey buddy," she says in a low voice, "how's it goin'?"

Kilgamayan:
> "Wha-!"
> "Buddy? Yamame, is that you?"
