Again, Ascot decided to use Diplomacy.

“G-great one? True form?”

Hinako seemed puzzled by the statement by her poison-dragon companion at this time. What exactly did that mean? Within the confines of understanding of society as a collective, similar stories tended to pop up about similar entities such as the case of Hinako recognizing dragons as something “slightly different” than what Lily was. But the term “Great One” was not something that Hinako recognized in the slightest.

Not only that, but Lily had used some strange comparison like a “Dragon to a mouse” to describe the Great One. Were they really that powerful? If so, how could one expect to control them? Even if she was some sort of monstrosity, it was the power of humanity that defeated the greatest of creatures from mythology.

The human will, even if Hinako was not a human herself, was a powerful force. She had known of a few youkai who met their fates to humans hardly a thousandth of their strength. Humans were beings that could reach the moon, but their process was that of folding a paper hundreds of times. From weakness their strength is derived.

Even if Hinako could not completely understand the scope of the claimed power that Lily had stated herself about the “beast” before her, at the very least Hinako did recognize there was some sort of illusion in the works regarding the individual’s appearance. Not due to any sort of evidence, but Hinako had also “tricked” others. After all, a Kitsune’s appearance was malleable to her desires. If she was able to fool others, who is to say that the girl, Bae, wasn’t fooling others?

But Hnako’s fooling of others was not malicious in intent. Some hunters hide amongst their prey to lure them in a false sense of security, but that was not the reason Hinako chose to take a form resembling a human. In fact, it could be said that Hinako loved humans, their culture and their base weakness, so to take a form closer to could be considered a sign of love itself. There was no proof that Hinako held the other before her was malicious either.

The “Great One as she was called came over to the Kitsune and the Dragon with a light twirl and asked them for their names.

“I-I’m Hinako. It is nice to meet you Bae, I think?”

The fox didn't truly understand how to feel about the information that the sides were feeding her. Could Hinako truly dislike something based off of preconceived notions? Perhaps it was in the nature of these “great ones” to harm others before them, but could individuals change their own perspectives on certain situations? Would it be discriminatory to disregard the cute girl Bae in the same way a human might to a beast that had raided their crops?

“Awawawa,” Hinako choked out as the field of the auditorium seemed to contort themselves into some sort of battlefield. She was reminded of a time of great instability within the confines of her home country. The cannon might be king to the human, but in the world of Demis such notions of power and appearance were meaningless. Hinako looked like a highschool student, aside from her tails and ears, and she had once been a god prayed to by a sect.

But that was when another strange individual had entered the mix. A boy who seemed mostly normal, aside from his rather short height that seemed even shorter than Lily, who Hinako already considered small and cute.

“I, uhh, don’t think that threatening someone’s life is the best way to find yourself many friends,” Hinako said to the strange boy who had intervened in a simple conflict. Perhaps humans were all the same. When there is a taste of something extraordinary, a war, they flock like a shark to the scent of blood.

It was not that Hinako despised violence; she had given the blessings to those soldiers who had chosen to fight for their holy army in the past. For those who followed the will of the Emperor. But she still had the impression that while war was a glory, pointless conflicts were easily avoided through skillful diplomacy. She was neither a pacifist nor a war monger. A moderate, like most of the unsung masses tend to be.

“I don’t really want to get into any spats. I cannot say that I believe peace is always the answer, but personally I care not for meaningless violence. There is pride in warfare, but not in trivialities. ”

If someone were to remove a Kitsune’s tails, they would likely die. And it would be extremely painful. But Hinako was a big girl. For you. They were the source of her fantastical abilities as a demi human. If she was to somehow lose her tails, then she would likely not be able to maintain the illusion of her existence any longer.

“I see, I see. You are right, “ Hinako said, hammering her fist lightly into the palm of her other hand as if coming to some sort of conclusion given the circumstances the other had presented her with.

“I suppose that showing off my body like that might not be the best for a girl my age from the books I’ve read. I should be more reserved regarding my clothing then, no? A spot-on observation, Lily!”

Hinako definitely found the subject of other Demihumans rather interesting. There were various examples of youkai she was familiar with. In the event a Demi happened to derive from the far east it was likely that Hinako could identify them through physical traits if any were obvious enough.

“You must be strong then Lily~. Dragons where I come from are more or less individuals of unparalleled power, but because of their power they are not allowed to interfere with the world of the humans and act as pseudo deities. ”

The more Eurocentric Demi tended to be a bit less obvious to her, if at all. There were dragons in Eastern mythology, but they were not the same sort of dragons of the western world, Though they shared some characteristics, the dragons she was more accustom could rival the gods themselves in strength if they weren’t gods in their own right.

But Hinako was clearly interested in learning about other cultures. She did have her followers bring her dutch writings after translation to her native tongue when she had followers at her disposal, and then again with English and French texts after the end of isolationism. But after the Meiji resteration, the belief in her as a goddess seemed to wane until she was forced into her current state.

“But you are right. Thank you for taking a bit of time out of your schedule to assist me Lily. I really appreciate it. The kindness of strangers is something I dislike to rely on, but at the very least a kind and kindred soul has chosen to help me in my time of need. If there is anything you can think of that I can repay you with, I dislike keeping a tab on anything I owe others.”

Perhaps she was not all too different from the feudal-like dragons that Lily had mentioned. Hinako loved humans, despite her current fear of speaking openly towards others after being abandoned. Though she did resent humanity to a degree for their lack thereof faith in her abilities as a goddess, it was not as if she hated humans. The former goddess loved humans. But to obtain something from a god, one must give offerings. And if that were to be applied to the current situation Hinako simply didn’t wish to have something granted for her if Lily felt that she had owed her something.

And with that, Hinako followed the other to the auditorium.

@ADamnFiddle

I have a lot of expenses. Most of them tuition, some of them food.

AND I don't have a job. So there you go. You're more of an adult than I am.

-runs away to be a non-adult-

@HylianRose

Isn't the education system the best. I think that attaching people with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt is the best. No incentive is better than defaulting :^)

I'm just stupidly good at doing science things and stuff and get stuff because post grad education or something. At least I have that going for me.

@ADamnFiddle

That's the thing about being an adult, I can't afford anything either, man. Like... my bank account is sittin' at a flat zero. Actually, more like in the negatives but I'd rather not think about that. Being an adult is no fun, I wanna met Peter Pan and be a kid foreverz.

@HylianRose

I get paid to go to school in my program and then I also get paid from work and then I live at home so I have no expenses. It is the best.

I'm going to try to get a post up later tonight, don't get to 100 post please.

@Spriggs27

Shut up. Don't tell me what to do. You aren't my real dad. D:
