[ A brief moment, where Douman wonders what will happen if he pushes Matsui into the water. And by "brief", we mean like, a good five seconds. I keep referring to his scrutiny as reptilian, because he's just a weird lizardcat with too much hair, but I also keep thinking of Reptilians, which are also basically Douman anyway. I'm so sorry I keep giving you these shitpost tags, Aki, you deserve more than this.

ANYWAY,

Douman, the Reptilian, observes an ongoing trend with Matsui: blood. Actually kind of hilarious to him, that Matsui possibly goes around observing humans and their adjacents as big skin bags full of blood. He laughs. ]

Mmm...! A noble endeavor, to be sure! Though I wonder how that thin body of yours would be able to warm so many people...

[ Wow, did Douman have to say it Like That? (he did.) ]

How do you propose to extend your aid, Matsui-dono? Perhaps this humble monk can provide some support.

[ At A Price. ]
