"Well, there is no use troubling over it now. What is done is done and if its a disease communicable by air, we already have it - by touch as well, thanks to your friend there," Seimei murmured, gesturing vaguely to the Pecker. He didn't blame them - most animals didn't understand disease between species.

"We really should burn all the bodies," he remarked after a moment of thought, eyeing the Peckers and wonder quietly if they too would require extermination. They obviously weren't infected by anything but they could be carriers. Looks like its time for an ultimatum.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but as this sickness you speak of is obviously very dangerous to...the wingless ones, we have to put fire to the bodies. You are also possibly dangerous to us. If you travel a little farther--," he turned left and right, trying to get his bearing before pointing in another direction, "--that way, there is quite a lot of area we have not tread yet and there should be food. But we have to get rid of these, so please go somewhere safer for now," the onmyoji asked, though his tone stayed particularly cool. He would kill every last one of them if necessary. The needs of the many outweighed the desires of the few.
