"Maybe, maybe not. I guess you'll have to see about that when its tomorrow, huh. So what is an Oni doing in these parts anyhow?... An oni whose name I dont know." *Kibaru asked in return. Seeing as the oni had done the same"
John
"I wouldn't suppose you'd be looking to return tomorrow to see its full ability?"*He questioned.*"You seemed rather interested before."*The Oni paused at the question that followed, thinking his words over for a moment.*"I've been searching for someone. A person of great importance that I'm not to return home without lest I prefer to face the consequence. It's been taking me longer than I could have hoped, so I've been forced to take on jobs to regain the coin that's been lost during the ambush to keep myself going. I've been working with one group in particular for a while now, but I see my time with them will soon run short as I return to my search again."
Brenda
"Now look who's not wanting to give his name" *Kibaru shook his head at the slight joke* "I don't think I'd mind comming back. That is if I still have the time"
John
*Kibaru's words managed to get a chuckle out of the Oni as he realized his mistake.*"Apologies. The question was quite indirect. I haven't been used to others asking my name or acknowledging it since traveling."*He explained. The Oni folded his hands behind him, saying simply:*"I am Ryker."*A slight grin crossed his face as if he were proud of that statement alone, though it faded soon after in the Kemonomimi expressing his lack of time.*"I suppose you are traveling for your own reasons. Merchant work, I assume from what you mentioned earlier."
Brenda
"Yeah. And Plenty of it. I need to make sure my wares get where it's needs to go. And to make sure I have plenty of Materials for productions and what now" *Kibaru said with a heavy sigh* "It's a tiresome job... But I do quite enjoy it tho" *He said with renewed energy and a smile on his face*
John
"Do you typically sell weaponry or building material?"*He asked the Kemonomimi, figuring he might as well ask while Kibaru was still around. While his construct was fully built, there was always the chance of needing more material if the initial tests didn't go according to plan. That alongside other future projects which he doubted he'd have the equipment for once he left the beastkin lands.*
