The young male's coffee eyes drifted to focus on the starlit expanse above them, as if the stars themselves could answer for him. It was turning out to be a nice night, and the moon cast silvery shadows though the oak's branches. Despite how he willed his voice to remain even and calm, the hint of a deep-rooted terror lingered at the edge of each word,"I would like to think that you would have nothing to fear from me. Like I said, I can't stand tears, especially those of a woman...I suppose it's my personal weakness." He didn't look back down toward Tsubaki just yet,"But I wouldn't say I'm nothing like the rest of my kind. I still take revenge on those who offend me. I still enjoy frivolous things like good food and drink. And...I guess I'm a little careless, even for all the risks..."
It was then that he finally returned his gaze to the maiden, a bare hint of a smile gracing his moonlit features,"But I guess in this case, the risks are worth the recklessness, because, I'd like to get to know you too." He motioned toward the branches above them,"You can only learn so much from a bird's view."
Shima was about to actually sit down when it was pointed out that he had been neglecting his own well-being. He recoiled slightly, feeling as if he was being scolded, though the startled look on his face was far from the serious tone that had been in place a moment before,"Ehhh? I....I kinda forgot..." His stomach hadn't forgotten, however, and in fact chimed in with a gurgling snarl,"Hey, quiet, you!" The whole thing was a little embarrassing, but it had set the tengu back to his original behavior of cheerful cluelessness,"I was all worried about wild boar and crying dark spirits that I completely forgot all about eating. So...it's definitely not your fault, okay?"
