> Mutter to self: "Par... see...?" Wince and pretend like we're trying to remember something.
Yeah, about now's the time to wrap it up.
>"Ah, fuck!"
>Hand to head like we got clocked again.
>"Yeah, that's right, Parsee! And you're Keine, and you're Cirno, and you....you have grapes on your hat. That's kinda a neat look for you. Oh right, now I remember. We were talking about that thing you do."
> You decide to wrap up your little charade by naming everyone except Minoriko.
> Keine stands there in silence. Minoriko looks embarrassed.
> "Haha! You had me thinking you really forgot everything!" Cirno guffaws, and slaps you on the back. She stops when Keine glares at her.
> Keine reaches out suddenly, as if she's going to grab you and headbutt you again, but then she stops.
> "No...I might really give you brain damage if I do it again..." she hisses. She quickly recomposes herself.
> "Anyway, you wanted to know how I hide the village? It's because of my ability to conceal or create history as a were-hakutaku. As a human, I can conceal history, or 'eat' it, as Mokou put it. So, what Mokou said was loosely explaining what I can do as a human. I didn't actually eat the village, I just concealed its history so that no harm would come to it. However, many have come to use 'eating' as another term for 'concealing.' During the full moon, I transform into a hakutaku and gain the ability to create history. And yes, I
do have horns in that form. Of course, I can't transform right now since that's not the real moon," Keine lectures, and nods towards the moon at the end of her little speech.
