[Kilgamayan]

> Return the tart.
> "Thank you."

[Monarda]

>"I admit i am quite surprised to see how you fare at this moment compared to the Tenshi from my time period."

[Kilgamayan]

I was getting to that ;_;

> Nod.
> "Yes, congratulations to you for coming as far as you have. I've no doubt you earned it."

[Monarda]

Hey, i gotta be one step ahead at least in something. e_e

[Hello Purvis]

> Return the tart.
> "Thank you."

>You return her pastry. She takes, it, then starts to hover. "Okay, follow me."

>"I admit i am quite surprised to see how you fare at this moment compared to the Tenshi from my time period."

I was getting to that ;_;

> Nod.
> "Yes, congratulations to you for coming as far as you have. I've no doubt you earned it."

>"Wow, that was unnecessarily backhanded," says Tenshi. "But thank you."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "Sorry."

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown.
> "Sorry."

>"Sure," she says. "You coming?"

>_

[Serela]

>"Ah, of course!"
>Hover, and follow.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Ah, of course!"
>Hover, and follow.

>You follow Tenshi upward.
>"So," she says, "I get why you're here. But I'm not so sure about your friend with the neat twinklewings, there."
>"Moral support, mostly," says Flandre. "Sakuya's had a rough day. I don't think she's had more than a few minutes of rest since things happened. No longer than a cable car trip, anyways."
>"Aha," says Tenshi. "Well, nothing to worry about. I was just curious. Also kind of wondering how you even know they were here, it's supposed to a secret."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Reimu pointed me here. To be honest, I thought it was to see you and Miss Nagae. I only learned about Ran when I generically asked Lady Toyosatomimi about what happened to the Yakumos."

[Monarda]

>"And so it then leads to this question: Why are they here of all places ?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Reimu pointed me here. To be honest, I thought it was to see you and Miss Nagae. I only learned about Ran when I generically asked Lady Toyosatomimi about what happened to the Yakumos."

>"Oh nice, I get to curse both kinds of Miko," says Tenshi. Despite her words, her voice holds no venom.

>"And so it then leads to this question: Why are they here of all places ?"

>"So people don't bother them," says Tenshi.

[Kilgamayan]

> Glance over to Miko with a look of amusement, then look back to Tenshi.
> "Forgive my not asking until now, but how have you been?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Glance over to Miko with a look of amusement, then look back to Tenshi.
> "Forgive my not asking until now, but how have you been?"

>Miko seems to have not followed you when you introduced yourself to Tenshi.
>"Can't complain," she says. "Things are working smoothly, finally figured out that fountain wasn't working because some clod dropped peach pits down the pipe while it was being cleaned. I'm going to hope it was an accident, or someone is getting a lot of meditation time."

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "That is good to hear, but I must admit I meant how you've been over the past several centuries."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "That is good to hear, but I must admit I meant how you've been over the past several centuries."

>"I guess I didn't die?" says Tenshi. "I mean, you've only been around, what, a couple decades? Can you really just sum that up?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> ...Is that true, that we've only been around 'a couple of decades'?

[Monarda]

>"Then just tell me of random interesting events that happened to you after i disappeared, i'm willing to bet you've gathered some."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Such as when Miss Nagae ascended, or whatever the proper term is. Ah, I suppose I should offer my congratulations for that to you as well, since I can't exactly offer them directly to her."

[Hello Purvis]

> ...Is that true, that we've only been around 'a couple of decades'?

>Maybe it's getting closer to three, but yes.

>"Then just tell me of random interesting events that happened to you after i disappeared, i'm willing to bet you've gathered some."

>"Nothing interesting happens in Bhava-Agra," says Tenshi. "It's kind of the point of the place."
>You note she seems to be leading you toward the top of the right wall, close to immense jade doors.

> "Such as when Miss Nagae ascended, or whatever the proper term is. Ah, I suppose I should offer my congratulations for that to you as well, since I can't exactly offer them directly to her."

>"Wasn't that much of an event," says Tenshi. "We all knew it was coming and said our goodbyes, took care of whatever loose ends there were to do. Not that she left many, you don't get that close to oneness with loose ends, it would mean too many attachments to little things."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, I see. Interesting."
> "You are happy with the way things are, then?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, I see. Interesting."
> "You are happy with the way things are, then?"

>"I suppose," says Tenshi. "I wouldn't mind having the occasional troublemaker to deal with or something."

>_

[Monarda]

>Smirk.
>"I'd never think i would hear those words coming from your mouth. Maybe i should have brought the Tenshi of my time too, only a Tenshi can match another after all."

[Hello Purvis]

>Smirk.
>"I'd never think i would hear those words coming from your mouth. Maybe i should have brought the Tenshi of my time too, only a Tenshi can match another after all."

>"Not my fault they don't have the guts to step up," says Tenshi with a snort, as you come close to the jade doors and near the last of the massive arches, before Tenshi leads you atop the wall. You can see a there are number of small, simple buildings set on top of it, their foundations part of the wall itself. The little buildings somewhat remind you of small housing rows back in the human village you knew, or perhaps the little huts of True Glorian.

[Kilgamayan]

> "What about this Warlord I have heard about?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "What about this Warlord I have heard about?"

>"What about this Warlord?" says Tenshi. "If we have someone like that around here, then they owe me an explanation for why they have that title."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Someone out of Haihan that claims to want to conquer the world. Apparently Reimu's concerned enough that she's considering sending the current shrine maiden out to look into it."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Someone out of Haihan that claims to want to conquer the world. Apparently Reimu's concerned enough that she's considering sending the current shrine maiden out to look into it."

>"Oh, so Gensokyo things," says Tenshi. She gives a shrug; which is kind of hard to see while flying. "Not really our business, then. Not that I'm not interested in what you got."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Is...is that really okay?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Is...is that really okay?"

>"Not like it was any different back in your day," says Tenshi. She gives you a sidelong look. "Or did I just find the crack in your facade, hmmm?"
