Xundere [EE11]

[Shinjo Koyama]

""Fall whaur?" He raised his brows incredulously.

[Hantei Kinsen]

“The edge, you fool.” She widens her eyes at his ignorance.

[Shinjo Koyama]

"O' whit?" He was indeed oblivious about her cosmological ideas.

[Hantei Kinsen]

"The edge. You all going to fall into the Nothing if you cross the barrier mountains." She alerts him. After all, that is what she's been told.

[Shinjo Koyama]

It's not that he knew for sure, but it was not what he believed to be true.

"I dinnae think this is howfur it wirks. Beyond th' bens thir's juist mair land. Ah ken thare atr tribes living far tae th' north, and w'er now deep in the south 'n' ur nay falling aff, sae how come nae tae th' wast? Th' world seems tae be bigger than we can see. 'n' if Shinjo thinks gaun wast mak's sense, she mist hae seen something bein' thare fae th' Heavenly Plain."

[Hantei Kinsen]

"There's definitely a pit going down south!" She remarks, and takes a moment to ruminate on what Koyama said Shinjo said. She completes, "Even if there is. That's going to be pretty far west."

[Shinjo Koyama]

"A pit, nae a rim. Fowk can go aroond th' pit." He then looked to the horizon. "Hae ye kent howfur whin ye gang oan foremaist ye dinnae see something 'n' then it appears? tis lik' ye dinnae donder oan flat land, bit oan a curved yin, lik' a bowl turned upside down." He walked his fingers on his xun to demonstrate. "Ah dinnae ken whit it means bit a'm feelin' th' world is muckle if hings ur hidden 'n' then appear. Sae gaun oan is aye a discovery, 'n' this is ah think whit Shinjo is after."

[Hantei Kinsen]

She blinks at his explanation, having a hard time to calculate how the world is a bowl. They would be all flooded under the rain like a noodle soup. She opens her lips to answer...

"How cute!" She puts her hands to the ground as if in four paws and looks to the raccoon dog nearby.

[Shinjo Koyama]

It took a moment for Koyama to realise what she was referring to.

"Ah think tis th' foremaist time someone haes cried Xiao Bao cute. He's a swallyin buzzard wha wid baillie ye at earliest opportunity. An' a', wilnae yer nails suffer fae getting oan a' fours?" Not that the view of Kinsen in that position was bad to look at in a self-serving way.

[Hantei Kinsen]

"Come here to momma you little cutie rascal." She says to Xiao Bao in a cute tone of voice while extending a hand for him to sniff and acknowledge, perhaps. Looking at Koyama, she shakes her head, as if not worrying about the nails for now.

Kinsen's seems to have had a few pets before.

[Shinjo Koyama]

Xiao Bao judged her silently for a moment. When it was becoming awkward, Koyama decided to help. He poured some beer into a wooden cup and knelt before Kinsen briefly to pass it to her. "Try this."

[Hantei Kinsen]

"Oh!" Kinsen blinks at the treat. "Is that what he likes, then. Interesting."

Taking the cup from Koyama's hand, she inclines a bit more to get the raccoon's attention. "Come here, boy."

[Shinjo Koyama]

"Ah juist lea it fur him oan th' ground, bit ah think tis nae whit ye'r efter."

It'd take some time before the raccoon dog might consider an approach, still probably being high enough on cortisol not to overly trust humans, but if Kinsen had the patience...

[Hantei Kinsen]

Kinsen does as instructed and leaves the bowl on the ground. She leans back to her seiza and dusts off her hands, saying, "I should get a pet for Genji-kun. I am sure it will do wonders for him."
