( On the kitchen table, most likely among the many other chocolates passively left by other spirits, there will be a simple origami box with Taroutachi's name on it. Inside, there are two chocolate truffles.
… But there’s no other name attached to it to suggest who it might have come from! )
[An irritated growl rumbles at the back of his throat.]
It's stupid but she's taking it seriously. You know when someone says "can't be any worse?" I joked it was a curse to say that and now she's all weirded out.
We put salt by the door to make her feel better. Isn't that enough?
Huh. [He hadn't really asked Vietnam a lot of questions, but then he wasn't the sort to do that on a good day. It honestly surprised him how much people wanted to know about them here.]
Answerin' 'em the best we can is all we can really do. People ask some weird crap sometimes. Like what it feels like to be a sword? How the hell're we supposed t'answer that one?
[It's a Tarou! Sayo looks up at him. Wow, he really does take up a lot of space. Another reminder that these apartments aren't like the citadel. He gives him a nod.]

Hey, if you're around, I got a question for you.
voice;
Yes?

[ there's a long pause because he doesn't understand this. Vietnam is such a helpful, kind nation... ]
I suppose it would depend on the curse. But spiritual cleansing would not hurt.

voice;
Did it help?
voice;
I dunno. That's why I called you. D'you think it'll help?
voice;
voice;
Fine. So what do we gotta do?
voice;
voice;
I don't really care, but Vietnam seemed kinda freaked out. You wanna give her a call and see if she wants the cleansing?
voice;
I will contact her, if you're sure you are fine.
voice;
[HA HA haa.... orz]
I'll be fine, but contact her and see. Didn't think countries'd be so superstitious, but. [He shrugs, forgetting Taroutachi can't see that.]
voice;
[ like he's made it into a safe place to contemplate their own gods and spirits. OR SOMETHING. ]
I will contact her. Where do the people of one country get their beliefs if not from the country itself?
Re: voice;
I dunno, never really thought about it? It's still weird to think she's a tsukumogami for an entire country. Like England. He's one, too. You met him?
voice;
Do you not get strange looks when you say you are a sword?
voice;
Yeah, but I don't really care. People ask a lot of questions, so I just gotta answer them.
Don't you get questions?
voice;
[ the questions make him mildly uncomfortable half the time... so he's almost hesitant to answer. ]
I do. I answer them as best as I can but there is much about the world I've never known.
Re: voice;

voice;
I don't know how to answer it either. But then, it is difficult for them to say what it feels like to be a human.
Re: voice;
S'why I wanna know why they wanna know. It's not like they can answer it.
[He gives a heavy exasperated sigh.]
Humans are weird.
Re: voice;
They're only curious, I imagine.
[ but there's an unseen nod. He agrees... ]
They are somewhat confusing.
Re: voice;
Freakin' weird, if you ask me.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. Give Vietnam a call, huh? Might make her feel better.
Re: voice;
I suppose so.
[ to put it in colorful donut language at least. he can't blame the strange humans though. ]
Yes, I will do so.

Hello, Sayo.
[Action]
Hello, Taroutachi-san. I'm here for a visit.
[Action]
[ Tarou's a little surprised, but he steps back from his door in case Sayo wants to come in. ]
I wasn't expecting any company, so I'm not prepared.
[Action]
[Sayo step inside and looks up at Tarou.]
... But I apologise if it's inconvenient for you.

Do you need help with something?

[ An unexpected question. He's not a huge sweets person; doesn't even know sweets that well, so he has to think for a little bit. ]
Green tea flavor. Or red bean cakes.
