          “Hello, little miss. Might you be able to come with me for a moment?” 

“I wore one for Shichi-Go-San! See?” Given her mother’s love of photographs, there's an album of pictures from that day; her posing before they'd left for the shrine, the two of them at the shrine, her ringing a shrine bell, her with her prosthetic leg off and asleep on the couch. “I’d been living with Kaa-san for a year by then, so we got a cake to celebrate that as well.”

So he stared her down, never one to trust the appearance of someone,  no matter how harmless they might look - he kept his distance for now.

[ He does! Admittedly, 186cm isn’t too tall, but it’s still above average…which brings along its own problems, ahahahah-As for Saori—I could easily imagine her completely surprising people with how high she can jump (especially considering her leprechaun height). Must be one of the perks of being a literal government weapon trained to face just about anything, LOL. ]

“hey you’re the one from before!!”  demon’s face then lights up with a big smile.  red straw pulled from between plump  ,  glossed lips  && iced coffee tilted just to the side.  “i touched your nose  ,  remember?”

“Ooooh~! So who might you be? Oh! Are you Kao’s girlfriend or something?!”

“. . be careful when accepting food from vol.”  it came suddenly  &&  he’d probably been staring her down for roughly two whole minutes.  how did he know of their awkward relationship?  he had his ways.  plus  ,  vol sometimes smelled like her  --  probably from being so touchy.
