Ptricia grinned. "A vegetarian wolf? Man, you're sure getting an early start on those rock star neuroses... I kid! None of my business what you eat. Of course, I'm more of a humanitarian..." She grinned, showing sharp teeth.<br/><br/>Kuroni was looking down on Reizu with a quizzical expression. "I think your pet ninja just ran out of ninj... I had hoped to test his power."<br/><br/>"He's had a hard day. I digested him earlier, and I think he's still feeling the aftereffects." Ptricia burped slightly, then took another bite of her danish.<br/><br/>"Ah... I couldn't help but overhear, your friend, Chris, he's under some sort of curse? Surely you can break it?"<br/><br/>Ptricia shook her head. "More like a holy vow."<br/><br/>"Ah, a yamabushi? I sensed a power within him." She turned to Chris and gave a polite bow. "Such asceticism is worthy of great respect."<br/><br/>Ptricia frowned and put her hand to her chim thoughtfully. "Not exactly... I guess, close enough." She wandered over and made herself some coffee. "Anyone else? Kuroni, there's plenty of cake for all..."<br/><br/>The ninja tanuki held up her paws, waving them vigourously in negation. "Ptricia-chan, I work in a cake shop! It's bad enough avoiding putting on weight while I'm there! Remember, I can only lose weight the old fashioned way. But I'll have a coffee."
