The worst about you is that you smell like bile and need a nail triming."<br/>She lowered her rifle down to her waist.<br/>"So aslong as that barbeque you apprently missed didnt have people on the menu then, i wont have to kill you."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"No, burger, hot-dogs, bbq chicken pieces..." He rooted in his pack and pulled out his gloves. "As for declawing, for me, it'd be like having your fingertips hacked off at the knuckle. That's why I wear these in school."<br/><br/>He sniffed. "As for the odour, think what it smells like from over here! This is one time when an enhanced sense of smell works against me. I definitely need to find a working shower and... dog shampooo is proably the only thing that won't give me a rash." As he remembered why he'd been ill, his face fell.<br/><br/>"I'm... sorry, I've got some bad news about those guys you were with. I could see your team from over here... after you left, this other soldier came up, and he suddenly went nuts! There was a firefight, with explosives...  That's why I was..." He gulped a couple of times, looking ill. "I'm sorry!"<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Inari suddenly appeared next to Andrew and the female soldier. "Did someone call for me?" She asked, looking from Andrew to the woman soldier. She suddenly looked back to Andrew in surprise. "How odd, are you another Kami? I'd never expected to see someone like you here." She said, reaching over and poking his ears. She was completely ignoring the soldier now.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Andy jumped sideways in shock. "The wha..." He turned to face Inari. It was the partial lady who thought she was a goddess. How she'd survived... Well if she kept on acting like that, the soldier lady, who'd probably had no sense of humour to start with might well shoot her.<br/><br/>Try to convince her he was a kami too, they were most likely from the same, or similar worlds... No, there was no way he could pull that off. Wrong footed mentally, he went with honesty, "No, I'm Andrew Reynarder, the small and meek and not edible and in desperate need of a wash."<br/><br/>Inari... he knew that one! Major kami, one of prosperity, symbolised by rice and fish, used kitsune nessengers to bring her offerings, so foxes were part of her portfolio. You couldnt be as into Japanese stuff as he was without learning some culture, and her association with foxes, or kitsune, had made her memorable, for obvious reasons.<br/><br/>He decided to humour her, maybe she'd calm down and not get them both shot. If only she were a honest to goodness kami, he could use the help... Hang on, he'd been too scared to call out loud... or had he? And how the heck had she sneaked up, his senses had been on full alert this time. He brought his hands together in a double clap, and dipped his head. What was the suffix for a superior...<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, Inari-dono. You surprised me. I have offerings of rice and fish, well, it's day old sushi packs, but they're the best quality ones. And white choc chip cookies."<br/><br/>(OOC If she reads his thoughts, she'll see he doesn't believe she is Inari, though he's just starting to wonder. He does want to take care of her, and doesn't want her or the female soldier to get hurt. The whole reason he got involved was so she could escape. He finds her physical form attractive, but there's also jerk syndrome going on.<br/><br/>He's a virgin, hardly self confident, despite his quick tongue, he's not in the most presentable state to start with, and even as a human she's so far out of his league he's not even going there. As for the cookies, white chocolate is the one sort apart from specialist pet chocolate that has low enough levels of betathiamine that canids can eat small amounts safely.)
