"im not really sure how to begin, truthfully i try steer clear of others  since coming to this world from the Terran homeworld, mainly becuase when i first came here i used to be a delivery boy for special goods that my clients didn't want passed along by official channels, but for some reason a lot of them were more interested in me rather than in the packages they wanted"<br/><br/>Giving a little chuckle i rub my finger tips against the back of Emeralds ears as i start to speak again "Being augmented with wings has saved my neck a few times when ive needed to make a hasty exit...if you know what i mean".<br/><br/><br/>"as to me stopping you well that rather more complicated but its maybe best to say that if you had made any kind of energy connection with me...well we wouldn't be having this conversation and this is why".<br/><br/>Running my hands down the front of my flying jacket i unbuckle half a dozen straps and drag the garment up and over my shoulders, underneath is a sleeveless green tattered vest with a picture of a gas mask on the front but upon the pale skin of my right arms is a simple black outline of a salamander.<br/><br/>"this little sod is called Ranmyaku" i say as i poke at the tattoo several times before as if annoyed this thing starts to move along my skin until it vanishes from view under my vest.<br/><br/>"you see recently ive been working as a Youkai controller, there basically little spirits or demons, fairly weak and harmless but sometimes one or two can get lost and end up stuck in this plane of existence, often in an object, in this case this little guy was stuck in an old music box in child room, he drew tiny amounts of energy from the people in the house to feed on, he didn't really cause any harm but its company rules that we agents ,well i guess you could say that were pest control officers really"<br/><br/>"well we supposed to destroy them but becuase im a latent telepath i heard this ones desire to live so i offered it an alternative, and it accepted, a seal keeps him bound to me and i feed him a little of my life force and in exchange he helps me to find things".<br/><br/>"i stopped you becuase he would have started leaching life from you so that he could overcome the seal and escape to find a new host, hes a good sort but that doesn't mean he wont take advantage of my weakness for his won ends"<br/><br/>Another chuckle  "he swears he only tries to escape to keep me on my toes"<br/><br/>Mumbling out loud to myself i say "i really need to think of a way to shorten that in case someone else asks".<br/><br/><br/>"Actually hes part of the reason we met, ive been on a journey and i asked him to sence where i should be going and he pointed me in this direction but for some reason when i got above this place the air currents were virtually nonexistent so i lost control and ended up doing a dive in the drink over there" i say while hitching a thumb towards the water"
