Tell me lies

[Shimizu Susumu]

What are you hoping to do?

[Alva Ren]

I suppose you can't really understand this but
I've been like this since I was 8
That hunter took everything from me

I don't want to come with you every time
Just this one time, if I won't be in the way

Just
For closure

[Shimizu Susumu]

...
I understand.

But be aware that it won't be pretty.

[Alva Ren]

I've seen what hunters do to us
It's not pretty either

[Shimizu Susumu]

Fair point.

If you really want to, I'll take you along.
Just try not to get yourself cursed again this time.

[Alva Ren]

Heeey I wasn't TRYING to get cursed in the first place, mister! 

[Shimizu Susumu]

I know you weren't. Just... be mindful of your surroundings.

[Alva Ren]

He's worried about me...

I will.

I'm a fox, you know. Shifter, that is.
So I can take care of myself! I have those sharp fox senses! 

[Shimizu Susumu]

We likely won't even have to interact with him. I usually take them out from a distance. Does that bother you?

[Alva Ren]

No

I wouldn't want you to be confronting hunters armed with guns and knives and things
It's better to take them out from a distance
Like they do when they snipe at us in the woods with rifles

[Shimizu Susumu]

It's much less dangerous for us too.

[Alva Ren]

What got you started doing this? Did hunters attack you too?

[Shimizu Susumu]

It's strange but I sort of fell into the job. Somebody needed help, I was there. It became a business, really.

I've been attacked but it was retaliatory in nature.

[Alva Ren]

A
Business?

[Shimizu Susumu]

I guess you could say I'm a hunter hunter?
