Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help.

[He shakes his head for emphasis.]

No, I won't hold that against you. Falling into such a strange situation, it is natural to be cautious. I told you a rather unbelievable story myself, and you didn't dismiss me outright.

[However, he does worry about Ryouma's caution in other matters... And standing in the midst of the forest is not the place for conversation.]

For now though, are you finished with that vine? Because-- strange though it is to say, it seems to be not done with you...

[He points at the forest floor, where a tangle of vines is creeping closer to the other man's feet. Ah, and it seems like he's collecting some too, so he steps back. Moving plants. Human-like wolves. What next.]

I still gotta say, your whole tsukumogami thing is pretty wild, but being told one thing is different from seeing it with your own eyes. That makes it a whole lot harder to put down as a fiction.

[He really should be paying more attention to his surroundings, though. And usually he's good at that, but maybe he's gotten complacent with knowing his body is hardier now, coupled with Chizuru's absence and therefore the lack of anyone keeping him out of trouble, or maybe he just got a little too excited by a friend's presence. Yes, Tonbokiri is a friend, if in the simplest definition, but it still counts.

Regardless, he looks down in time to see that vine inching far too close for comfort. He steps back, but looks around to see more of that foliage moving in unnatural ways, so he hops back, but vines are tricky things, aren't they? His heel catches on a cluster and he falls backward.

Will Tonbokiri be a true gentleman and catch him? Or will this dumbass Tosa boy get his just rewards? Tune in next week tag to find out!]

[To be fair, if Ryouma had been jumping towards him instead of away, he might have had a chance to save him from falling.
But he hadn't. And Tonbokiri, while supernatural (and entirely a gentleman), just isn't that fast.

What he does do is slash at the vines, including the ones at Ryouma's feet.
Be assured, he has very good control of his weapon.
He then offers a hand to help Ryouma up.]

Are you all right? We should get out of here. Mikuniguro can carry us both.
