[Hotsuma lands in a nearby treetop, Akujiki having guided him here. He's been waiting for last night's phantasm to show itself again, and at absolute first glance it's easy to think Clare has spotted it herself. He draws his weapon and drops to the ground, closes the distance with her. His eyes follow her cold battle-focused ones towards... a perfectly tranquil clump of trees. A puzzled look crosses that impassive face though he remains alert.]

[She spots him, the man from the shop, and halts. She appears to give him a strange look. To her, the world is shifting around him, glowing waves coming off him. She braces herself for the outpouring of his power.]

[The same gaze she'd been giving the trees, as if they were foes who meant to take her life, is now upon him. She looks like a jungle cat ready ready to spring and that's what slowly makes him change his stance to a defensive one. His tone stays calm, negotiable.]

What is it? What did you see?

[Is it possible he cannot feel his own power? She can see it, plainly, with her own eyes.]

There has not been a male in a long time.

[He could Awaken at any point. Would it be better to end the misery of him and his monsters or wait until he's truly crossed the line where it would be tolerable to end it?]
