[[Accidental Voice Post]]

[Moro's voice clicks over the journals, in what is obviously an unintentional post. Moro seems to be in the middle of musing to herself, even.]

...no matter how many times we take their lives, they take more and more.

The forests can't handle this... a single demon can be met by my fangs, but these humans are a greater plague than nature can

...I won't pretend that I'm not one of the ones you'd despise, Moro, but if I could speak with you some time? Our paths are likely to cross a lot in the coming days, or at least I'll be in your territory often enough. I wanted to explain why before we had a bad meeting in the future.

It is, of course, up to you.

I grow tired of the human presence in the forest.

I understand...which is why I'd like to speak with you. What I need...I can't really get in the village. If I could, I'd respect your wishes for me to stay away.

I...need to hunt. The meat in the stores is lacking something I need to keep an infection I have under control, so it needs to be freshly killed. Which would require going into your territory. I wouldn't take more than a rabbit or two when needed. Deer meat would be better for me, but I'd end up wasting far more than I needed, and that's not right, so I'll stick with rabbits.

But I do not want to encroach. And I don't want to waste the rest of the rabbit; I can do little with the entrails, bone and fur, so I'd want to take care of that properly, put it where it could be used. These are the things I wanted to speak to you about.

Bring no harm to the forest and I will have no reason to kill you.

[...Not to exactly say that she won't. Moro makes no such promises.]

As long as taking a rabbit or two from the forest is considered not harming the forest, then hopefully I will keep clear of giving you reasons. I won't use anything but a knife and some rope. Hopefully that will suffice.

Moro...[there's a pause and a slight sigh]

Should you decide I need killing, be careful. The infection is in my blood, and I don't know what it would do to you, if it did anything. But if it could affect you, it would turn you into...something undead and demonic. Don't get my blood in your mouth. Don't swallow it. Don't let it near yours.

So you are a demon, as well.

For some unknown reason, although I arrived soaked in a demon's blood, I was not granted its curse.

Not yet, although given the chance, it will consume me and take my dead body for itself. That's part of why I need to hunt; it keeps that from getting stronger and finishing the process.

Then I hope such immunity keeps you safe from me, should it become necessary.

Thank you for tolerating me, if only for a few moments.

I should kill you because of that curse laid upon you.

Perhaps you've struck some sort of pity in my heart.

Killing me will only let it loose to prey on everyone, but I understand. Do what you feel you need to do when the time comes.

Hmph.
