Shurui wasn't in much of a mood to talk after his latest encounter with Guan Du Xiu Ru, and the fact that Lady Ru came to speak with him a second time further soured his mood. Despite this, he attempts not to show his growing dislike for the woman's presence by engaging in conversation with her, even if he'd tilted his hat so he couldn't see her directly. He knew she wasn't to blame - he himself just held to [i]that specific memory[/i] a lot more than one should. And it hurt him. A lot. "Y-yeah... Thing is, she doesn't seem like the kind of girl to run out on her own, so I get the feeling she'll be back soon. Gone to get something, most likely. Could be equipment. Let's just give her some time..." As though to verify this, he shows off his bag, plus one of the knives that he kept on his person. 

"And, just so you know..." He pauses. "This mission was picked out by her, not me. Unless you've already spoken to her, I suggest you notify the girl and tell her you wish to join us. Though, considering we'll be meeting up with her regardless, I guess that isn't a problem."

Having put a temporary pause to their conversation, he looks over to the Jade Rabbit, as though to ask what he wanted. Hearing his request, Shurui nods in understanding. "My name is Shurui Seishin - the only ghost... alive?" He couldn't help but chuckle; every time he told that joke it made him chuckle. Humour certainly helped sooth the mind. "As I said to my... friend here, it's the young Nao who will be leading this little expedition. Personally I have no objections to you or Miss Ru joining, and I doubt the girl would disagree, but I've been wrong before. She'll be arriving back at the guild soon, or at least should be, otherwise we'll go out and start the mission, assuming she's done the same. And please, don't call me 'Honorable'. Personally I'm not a big fan of titles anymore."
