"That is possible, I've met one or two on my travels, but never have had the ability to speak at length with a group of them. Mostly I encountered the occasional hunting pack on my travels to the edge of the corrupted lands." Shinsei rubbed his chin in thought, having only barely considered the Nezumi up to this point.

"I've only met one, but what I gleaned of their culture... I'd say they know a thing or two."

"Then I would say it's worth asking one of them about it. We don't have many here, so we can't guarantee that they'll know what we want, but anything is better than the fragmented pieces I've managed to assemble so far."

"I will see what I can do, but they've been keeping to themselves on the march. No surprise, given their history with the Seidou."

"Given their history with most of mankind, really." Shinsei sat up and swept his hand out towards the tents and wagons of the expedition. "They've not had much in the way of positive experiences with any of us."

"I honestly have no idea about that history, truth be told. Didn't really come up in my one conversation... I don't suppose you could fill me in, just to keep me from bringing up sore points?"

Shinsei folded his hands into his lap, expression flat and calm. "Well, you're human. That's the first major issue. Most of their interactions with us have involved the Seidou, and those have been unpleasant and bloody. Beyond that, the ones I encountered were mostly concerned that I had become corrupt during my travels. They are very, very wary and suspicious of us. Often with good reason."

Sora half-smiled.

"I like them already. Do we know the root of their issues with the Seidou?"

"Well, if I were to hazard a guess," Shinsei rubbed his chin in an exaggerated manner. "I'd say it's because they look like giant bipedal rats with big intimidating weapons."

That got a brief laugh.

"Yeah, but they can speak our language reasonably well and seem willing to talk- the one I've met, anyway, I admit, I haven't got a broad experience, but... I used to kill people in the mountains for being on the wrong side of a river, doesn't mean it was the right way to go about things."

"Certainly not, but I imagine if you went to the other side of that river to have a chat that you wouldn't get a particularly warm reception. That they're willing to work with us at all should say something of the dire nature of this mission."

"I pray that is enough to secure their further cooperation." He sighed, not enjoying the tension likely to be stirred up along the way. "But it is, at least, a path to follow that otherwise wasn't there before."

"Might be time for a new beginning, hm? I mean, easy for me to say, since I have no history with them, but..."

He shrugged.

"If a Hikaru killer can become the protector of a Kami's children, or if Nanzi and I can get through a conversation without serious disagreement, I no longer believe in impossibilities."

Shinsei contemplated that in silence for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, it seems as if times are changing for many, and quite rapidly. There won't be much time to adjust, so I hope enough of us can share your attitude going into our future."

To that he simply nodded, hoping that optimism would prove true. While he was considering what to say, Karasu returned from his tent rolling and landed on Sora's head.

Sora looked up, not moving his head.

"Oi. Bird. Karasu, is it? If you find anything good up there, let me know, hm?"

Karasu, for his part, started lightly pecking at the occasional rat's nest in Sora's hair, hoping to find an actual rat in there somewhere.
