Mr. Noda wants to speak up, but he's cautious of the angels.

"What?" She looks at Kane with that universal look that says, "Where did that come from?" Sunae looks at Mr Noda, still visibly confused. She bows to him "My apologies, Noda-san. You had something to say?" Last edited by ladyarcana55; 09-14-2014 at 01:53 AM. |

He's happy to let Ryuki hug him, but looks confused "Why the excitement over finding out that Corat was the traveler?" |

Mr. Noda accepts. "I will call them." He steps slightly to one side for a moment, chanting softly. His wife watches protectively. Quote:
"I had help." This is only mildly surprising to Ryuki. "Yes, but your neck, stuck out there, kept me off the evil-must-die list while I grew the f--- up. And you stuck it out there for these folks too, and clearly you lost that battle, but you fought it. And you survived. Now I'm on your side." He's overwhelmed for just a second; even his ego is not quite that big. "This is so much sooner than I expected," he says quietly, taking deep breaths. "You can convince--together we can, the lot of us--the angels that these spirits...who they are." Words begin to fall apart. Mr. Noda turns back to them, a tiny smile on his face, but he waits. "It isn't...angels vs demons with spirits on the side, and people for the battleground. It's people, and our spirits, deciding which way to go. It's a--do you understand at all?" He looks around, wondering if his rantings have made any sense at all, worried that they haven't. Mr. Noda puts a hand, mere fingertips, on his shoulder to cut into the conversation. "We are the guards of this castle." ((Dammit I have historical references for them too, and can't find them right this second!)) "Our lord sends his eternal gratitude for saving it. He also agrees to this debt, and will help you find the demon in this city. Demons aren't wanted here, and he won't last long. "He also promises to find the Norse god, discover his intentions, and then to help you locate him."

Glen does a reasonably good job of hiding his confusion about these goings-on from the humans, but the superhuman perceptions of the Celestials can tell he's faking his confidence.

If Ryuki or any of the castle folk heard him, they're ignoring it.

This causes some confusion within, like a small flock of magpies panicked inside Mr. Noda's head. His wife offers a sympathetic hand, but he waves it away. "We are Hosogawa's last vassals." To Ryuki, it might as well have been 'We are employees of the grocery store.' As much as he wanted to be friends, he was trained as a businessman. "Is there not one name I can address you by? I am Watari Ryuki, of Nagasaki." Might as well have been 'I am Guido Corleone from Chicago.' "Chojuro. It is the best we can do, outside of our lord." A low bow. "We have imposed so much. Please bear with us a moment longer while my friends decide."
