[he gives her a dubious glance because what is she even talking about?? he doesn't want to know. also at this rate he's never going to get to make food for himself.
but after a while, he presents her with her requested cup of tea. it's decent? he's from a fantasy asian land, he's probably made green tea before.]
he frowns a little—as if he's recalling a poor memory.]
A lot of people die with regrets and can't pass on until those are settled. Still, most understand the importance of doing so, if they want to reborn again. So we help them.
... But yes, there are those who get difficult about it.

Here.
[still not her errand boy though!!]

[She accepts it gratefully! And mmm, it is decent enough that she won't complain? A victory in and of itself.
... Though if he thinks he's free of her presence for the day, spoilers: Tamamo is not that merciful]
Since we'll be working together to escape, I think this would be a perfect time to get to know each other, young man~
no subject
I have a name.
[did he tell hige like a week ago that he doesn't really care about names? yes. but tamamo doesn't have to know.]
no subject

Or will simply asking you suffice?

Your profession back home?
[Yep guess we're doing a round of 20 questions, Tamamo style, where she asks all the questions and says nothing about herself!]
no subject
aka tamamo is absolutely right.]
Watcher.
no subject
What does that imply exactly?
no subject
not like it's a secret, at least.]
We watch over the border between the living and the dead. Our main duty is to ensure that the souls of the deceased pass on peacefully.
no subject
That is a noble endeavor, I must say.
[Foxes are fickle, and wear many faces. The one she aims at Kagachi now is thoughtful]

And you? Are you a human whose been tasked with this? Or a different being all together?
no subject
It's a duty created and assigned by humans, if that's what you mean.
no subject
[A shrug]
It doesn't matter; I was simply curious.

But... wars where the Holy Grail is coveted, usually.

It's not important enough to explain in detail, either, but under normal circumstances I would be summoned to aid my Master in battle.

[Actually she doesn't look particularly fussed either way, and shrugs]
Does this mean you're familiar with summonings?

I stand corrected; perhaps in another lifetime, you would have made a fine magus.

Kagachi-saaaan, do you not know how to smile? A lady has just gifted you a compliment!
no subject
I don't smile on command.
