[A delicious smell begins to waft out of the Distillery in the early afternoon. Anyone who investigates will find that Mireille has baked a rather large cake, topped with bright yellow frosting and blue flowers.

[hellpyre]

Tama-chan, stay with Kaoru. [She puts a finger on her snout.]

It's not nice to ignore your mama.

[This is Rin completely ignoring your protests, Kaoru.]

[individuates]

[Tama-chan makes a little nose in her throat, staring at Rin. You don't want her, Auntie-Rin-chan?]

But... but I'm not a Mama. Or at least not in the regular sense.

[hellpyre]

Shh... later, okay?

[You'll get your attention from Auntie Rin soon.]

I'm just teasin'. But you are a parent, in a loose sense.

[individuates]

I guess. [steering them towards the Monument, gently rubbing the side of Tama-chan's face with his hand, making her lean into his cheek] But do you really have to call me mama? It's a little embarrassing...

[hellpyre]

I'm not doin' it in front of anyone else~

[But she drops the teasing tone, giving him a nudge.]

But I'll stop.

[individuates]

If she ever calls me "mama" I know who to blame.

[hellpyre]

[Sorry, Kaoru, she's just going to grin like she's completely innocent.]

[individuates]

Tama-chan?

[feel that, Rin? That's Tama-chan's tail swishing around to thump against your shoulder. And Kaoru definitely has a smirk on his face...]

[hellpyre]

Erf--!

[Ow. Heavy anklegator tail.]

Ruuuuude.

[individuates]

[oh my god, that actually worked?! Laughs and scratches Tama-chan under the chin]

That's my clever girl~!

[hellpyre]

Oh just use your shards.

[huff. You caught her off guard, that's all.]

[individuates]

Oh, but your face... [chuckles as Tama-chan slips off his shoulder to the ground]

...do they have a menu or something, or do I just close my eyes and think really hard?

[hellpyre]

Yeah yeah.

[She rolls her eyes at him, crossing arms over her chest.]

Just think really hard. That's what I did for the onsen.

[individuates]

[Tama-chan starts rubbing the side of her horn against Rin's boot. Don't be mad, Auntie-Rin-chan!]

All right. Well, I've got a quite a lot of shards stored up. Guess even if it doesn't work it can't hurt.

[well, first he needs something to defend himself with. Just to set Seimei at ease. Better not picture it too literally though. He doesn't want a giant shield to come crashing down out of nowhere.]

[hellpyre]

[Not mad, just her usual prickly irritated self.]

Go for it.

[Admittedly that would be kind of funny...]

[individuates]

[all right. Shards in. Let's do this thing]

[his face scrunches up in concentration for a few minutes before he opens one eye tentatively]

...I don't feel any different.

[But at least he wasn't crushed!]

[hellpyre]

Well... it's an ability, right? Like my fire. Not a weapon. You gotta focus on it to use it, y'know?

[individuates]

[stepping back] All right, so let's test it. Throw something at me and... I'll see if I can block it, I guess.

...Tama-chan, leave her feet alone for a sec.

[hellpyre]

Uuuhm...

[Throw something... that requires having something.]

... I don't have anythin'.

[individuates]

Well, nothing that's gonna hurt. Like a pebble or something, I don't know, just to see whether it works or not.

[hellpyre]

... I could use my flames...

[individuates]

You could...

[not that he doesn't trust you, but you'll have a lot more than an angry anklegator to deal with should you accidentally roast him]

[hellpyre]

[Hey she's not going to roast anyone.]

I uhm... w-well see my flames don't just burn, they can purify, too. Like if you had some sort of blight from a demon. But I figure either one would still hit whatever barrier you might have, right?

[That's slightly less dangerous.]

[individuates]

You can get blights from demons?

...all right, let's try this. If it doesn't work I'm not throwing more shards in that thing for healing powers that I might not actually get.

[hellpyre]

Yeah, actually. [as she explains, she throws her hands about a bit, trying to give some idea of the scale of what they were up against.]

There was one Bon and I fought together called the Impure King that was giant mass of gross and poison that was tryin' to kill the people of Kyoto!

[Hey at least he trusts her. And this would be a good exercise for her as well, given what happened last time she used her powers.]

Alright. Get ready, okay?
