Marie stopped attempting to help Alexis as a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Oh, Mr. Steiner, hello! This is Alexis, the dog is Exoris, Mattis was just here, and I believe that Andrew just left before even coming in. Oh! Did you find everything alright?" She asked, before turning back to Alexis. "Poor Ms. Anderson seems to be rather ill. It's odd, she was just fine a while ago. Perhaps she's allergic to something in the cookies..." Quickly nudging Victor out of the way before he could be vomited on. She put a hand on his shoulder, face full of genuine concern.
"Seriously dear, are you alright? I know you're quite new here, and it was a rather sudden change, so just tell me if you need anything.
Looking over the menu, Gin smiled. Her grandmother would often take her to a sushi shop near the temple. Ordering a cup of tea and some tuna rolls after Kimiko ordered, Gin looked back across the table at Kimiko as she asked a question.
"Oh, well... I don't really like to talk about it. I used to live with my Grandmother at a temple, but then..." Gin stuttered with the words, unable to tell Kimiko what happened. She didn't even remember much herself, and what she did wasn't exactly... pleasant. "A-anyway, this may seem like a weird question, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but what kind of yokai are you? I'm a kitsune, or at least thats what I was told."
She smiled as the waiter returned with their food, thanking him before offering tea to Kimiko. She always tried to be as polite as possible, and often came off as naive. It was something one of the monks had taught her. People at the temple lived modest lives, and didn't treat Gin any differently because she wasn't human. They scolded her like all the other children, and were kind, and between them and her grandmother she grew up in a very kind and loving home. She knew that Primrose would be different, but she hoped she could find the same kinds of people. People who cared for those around them, and weren't arrogant or greedy like some of the humans she had met.
