[Here's Hijiri  riding around town with Tsuzuki on a tamed Byakko, which protects them from monsters that are around.]

[Tsuzuki sits in the front, holding onto Byakko to steer him.]

Tell us if you see anyone we know, Hijiri.

[akumano_trill]

Alright.

[and passing by Kirimi's house where she stares at them wide-eyed]

[purpledemoneyes]

Wait, wait, maybe we should turn around. I think Kirimi lives around here.

[Byakko lifts his head and tries to look at his riders, as if to ask why Tsuzuki doesn't want to visit her.]

[akumano_trill]

Turn around? Why?

[then he sees the terrified little girl watching them through the window]

... is that her?

[purpledemoneyes]

Crap!

[purpledemoneyes]

Kirimi!

[Losing his head, he hops off Byakko and lets Hijiri control the large cat.]

Kirimi-chan, don't be afraid.

because I'm lazy I shall combine the two...

[lost_koneko]

Wait! Tsuzuki! Where're you going? [and will try his best to control the cat...]

[and the terrified girl is just being... terrified and stares up at Tsuzuki in horror]

that's fine. :D

[purpledemoneyes]

Byakko is not being difficult. He simply purrs deeper end hopes Hijiri will scratch his ears.]

[Tsuzuki's blocking the view with his body, so she doesn't have to look at Byakko.]

Kirimi? Breathe. Come on, remember how I told you I'd show you a cat that wasn't mean?

[lost_koneko]

[Hijiri obliges and scratches the tiger behind the ears]

[Kirimi looks up at him... and eventually nods]

[purpledemoneyes]

[He gets a deep, deep purr for his troubles. Byakko also lifts his head to bump against the hand, like the cuddle-hungry cat he is.]

Well... I found one you can even ride if you want to. He's that nice. Want to try?

[lost_koneko]

[Hijiri scratches behind Byakko's ears lightly]

[Kirimi looks over uncertainly at the gigantic, monstrous cat!] ... promise he's nice and won't bite Kirimi?
