"Ah! No, no. Don't worry!"

Yukine continued with the gentle smile on his lips, his hands on the children's backs to try to calm them down. Her tail wagged slightly in the air with the children's hands, which squeezed her lightly. Yukine's ears remained raised and listening for any noise. She listened carefully to the fae's speech in front of her, looking down at the children and then at him again.

"Oh, don't worry. I can answer the questions now if you want. The kids have to go home before it gets dark, right?"

The children looked at the stranger a little and nodded slowly, a little suspicious of the person. They gave Yukine another hug before running through the streets, waving their hands to say goodbye to her and Momo. "Bye bye fox lady!" Yukine waved back to them and smiled. Ah, how good it was when she was a child just like them.

Momo waves goodbye to innocent little children, while they were running Momo notices the little felinid had a pair of tattered sandals, while the reptilian ran barefoot. 

Getting back up, Momo felt relief wash over him as the kitsune seemed very friendly. She's either an outsider fond of this village or perhaps the typical rich daughter of the lord taking pity on the place.

Momo takes a quick glance of the area. It seems they were in off-section of the village, the faded stone path seemed to abruptly end at random. Only things nearby was the brown shack, and a dried out well. The well had grown moss and the shack seemed to have been infested with termites at one point. But most importantly, Momo had scanned the area to make sure that no one who could be a potential threat was nearby. 

"My name is Momo Chabashira, from New Sunlight. It's a pleasure meeting you." Momo offers a small bow with a curtsy. "I'm assuming you're not from this village Miss...?" His tone inclines upwards, asking for her name.

Yukine did not fully trust the stranger who was watching her just now, but depending on the questions he was going to ask her, she would have no problem answering them. Her tails that were still merged together, forming a very fluffy tail, continued to move slightly through the air, suggesting that she was calm. However, upon hearing Momo's words, the kitsune's ears twitched quickly for a moment. She had heard about the New Sunlight somewhere, although she didn't quite remember where. Her bright red eyes watched the fae intently. She then smiled at Momo again, speaking with a sweet, calm tone in her voice. 

"I'm Yukine. I'm sorry for not offering my full name, but I prefer that people don't know it. It's a pleasure to meet you, Momo. And no, in fact I am not from this village, but I always come here when I finish working." She paused for a moment, her big ears keeping slightly tilted towards him. "New Sunlight, huh? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere."
Alan
Momo nods while Yukine spoke, implying that he agrees to respect her privacy. 

"I'm glad you've heard of us! We're just another one of those guilds, ya know helping people and all that jazz. We just have a bit more members than others." Momo giggles a bit at his description. 

"Have you noticed anything suspicious in this village? Like, something related to the lord perhaps?"
Nilsa
"Ah yes, it seems that you work very well, from the description that I had heard from some people. And I can already see that you seem to be friendly too."

Yukine waited a while before answering Momo's question, thinking for a while to try to remember anything that might have been suspicious. In fact, there were some robberies in the village a few days ago, which she learned from talking to some residents when she had arrived from her trip. It seemed that events happened during the night, and they usually took what was valuable in people's homes. She looked at the fae and started to speak.

"Some people told me that there have been a lot of robberies these days, but I thought it was a normal thing to happen. It has nothing to do with the lord, but from what I know, his relationship is not very good with the villagers here." She paused for a moment, with an expression suggesting that she was trying to remember something. "It seems that he doesn't care much about the village."
Alan
*Robberies? There didn't seem too much to take, although, the village wasn't heavily guarded either. In fact, the village didn't seem to be guarded at all. Momo wouldn't be surprised that ragtag bandits find this place an easy cash grab*

Momo brings his forefinger to his lip, thinking about it some more. "Yes, the lord doesn't seem to care much... Thank you for telling me about the robberies, do you know-" 

Before Momo could ask another question to Yukine, he hears large amount of footsteps and thuds nearby. He stops himself to listen, and takes a few steps back to peer over the shack. A heavily armored Red Oni is what he first sees but he quickly leaves Momo's line of sight. What followed him were about a dozen Kuileis carrying something in their arms. The Kulieis were polished and shined to perfection, and a strange symbol was carved on their chest. Looking closer, it seemed like they were carrying multiple, large bags of rice. It was so much rice that it could've fed the entire village, yet they were marching towards the exit. 

Momo turns back to Yukine and speaks softly, "Is that normal?"
Nilsa
Yukine watches Momo and blinks a few times when he stops talking for a moment, her big ears twitching at the sound of the steps that could be heard. Her tail also stops moving, as if she is focused on hearing the noise better and being able to identify where it came from. Yukine followed the fae so she could peek on what was happening nearby, her red eyes opening up a little more when she saw the Red Oni and the Kuileis carrying the bags. Turning to Momo to answer his question, Yukine shook her head and glanced at the Kuileis again.

"No, that's not normal. I never saw these Kuileis and that Oni around here, at least every time I stayed here."

Close to the Kuileis, some villagers could be seen with expressions of indignation and sadness on their faces, watching as the bags of rice were carried towards the exit of the village. The same children of a little while together with their parents, hugging them while watching the Kuileis and the Oni walking.
Alan
From Yukine's response and the expression of the children, Momo knew that it had to be related to the taxes. He scooted away from the shack and looked toward the other side of where exit /entrance of the village would be. He turns back to Yukine, hesitating for a moment. *Did Yukine want to involve herself?* Momo didn't know, so he gave her a determined nod. Whether that meant to follow Momo or a simple farewell would be up to her. He begins to make his way down the path.

If Yukine decides to follow Momo, they'd both be positioned behind a small cottage made up of wood and stone. At the front of the village's exit would be a well-armored Macen woman on a horse. Besides her was another horse waiting, most likely for the armored Oni. The Kuileis would be patiently standing the behind both of them. 

What appears to be an old withered man and his son were chatting with the Oni. The son was a Mogash, he was more physically capable than most of the villagers here. He stood next to and a little bit ahead of his father, like a bodyguard. He still wore a ragged garb of a kimono with a hakama, and equipped with a single katana. It seemed like a false sense of security if anything. 

Yukine and Momo were a fair distance away and Momo couldn't make out their conversation. He whispers to Yukine, "Do you hear what they're saying?"
