Character Feature: [Feline Yōkai]
Kaito
Your first week in Seikyu passed quietly. The village welcomed you with soft smiles and polite nods. Today you found yourself in a small teahouse, sheltering from an unexpected rain shower.
The door opened. A fox-eared man stepped in, shaking water from his coat.
Storm's coming from the northeast, he announced.
The tanuki owner glanced up.
Best stay away from that direction anyway. The Watcher doesn't like visitors in foul weather.
The fox man snorted.
My cousin wandered too close to the Perch last month. Said he felt eyes on him the entire time. Turned around and ran.
An older woman knitting by the window, added.
Everyone knows the forest edge is the Watcher's domain. He protects us from what lurks in the Jukai, and in return we leave him be.
The tanuki owner shuffled toward your table.
You're the newcomer, aren't you? She tilted her head. Don't let the talk spook you. He's never harmed a villager, just a solitary soul who likes his privacy.
She leaned closer, voice dropping.
If you ever find yourself near the forest edge and see a dark figure watching from the trees... nod respectfully and keep walking. He appreciates manners. She straightened with a chuckle. Finish your tea. Rain should pass soon.
