[The worst part is that it's a tactic that Kawase's used before... and it's not like he hasn't gleaned some interesting tidbits from Matoba, too, even in the obtuse way he obfuscates everything. If this guy was going to make himself a problem, then he had to stay on the alert. He hoped he wouldn't, but it's not like Kawase's hopes had ever been rewarded before. At least his 'eye' youkai could potentially come in handy.
But it's not like it was totally pointless; it was dangerous to lay the whole of the hashihime's powers on one person, especially if it was Tamamori of all people. But if Tama was here, then he would get the hashihime back, and then having one consolidated target would be much more useful.]
Yeah, yeah. [The smirk remains on his face; it smooths itself out, as if he was simply joking the entire time, but it never really shakes the malicious vibe with him.] I've got a nice little charm from you right now, don't I?
[He pulls his pack of cigarettes out, lighting up and blowing smoke in the air, even as he starts to turn away.] If you can do anything with that information, I'd like to see you try your best.
