001| [Video]
[It sounds like the rumble of boulders at first, low, monotonous, and threatening. After a moment, one might realize it’s a combination of a growl deep in one’s throat, as well as the sound of blunt fangs grinding together in obvious irritation. It had taken him quite a while to even figure out how to turn the thing on, but now everyone could have his piercing, narrowed white eyes trying to bore holes through their souls.The creak of his gauntlets tightening around the hilt of a wicked, impossibly helix-blade is a chilling sound indeed.]
Where?
[These were not his lands, and he could not sense Majora anywhere nearby. The Oni was exhausted, still bearing the wounds of his titanic struggle, AND the dried blood smeared across his face only lent itself to his already savage appearance. Someone had better start talking, and quickly, before he found the first pair of mortals to snatch up with his hands and choke them until they mewled every answer he wanted to hear. ]

Canberra.

You shrank. [The Oni rumbles quietly, simply not caring if she could not understand. It was worth noting, and so he was noting it. Out loud.]
video;
I'm magical.
video;
You? [Was she the one who brought him to this place?]
video;
[ -- hm.]
Saki. Sa-ki. Saki!
video;
Send me back.
video;
Sorry, can't. I just help with the meals.
video;
Use your magics. You summoned, you will send me back. [An unmistakable threat.]
video;
She doesn't laugh, and it's quite a feat of restraint.]
Yeah, I'll get right on that, dude.

After about a minute, Saki asks,]
Are you hungry?
video;
video;
Go south down the path, into the inn - it's the biggest building. I'll make you a sandwich.

And then looks up some more.]
Hey, how's the weather up there? [Miraculously, she doesn't giggle at her own joke, but there is a quirk to her lips. Immediately - ] Never mind. Here.
[She hands over a sandwich and a glass of milk.]
action;
[Magic. He can't smell it, but it must be.]
[The sandwich is gone within three bites, and the Oni is left licking his lips in a satisfied fashion. Now all that's left is the strange white magic. His ears twitch slightly before he simply chooses to bite straight through half of it. The crunch is unpleasant, and he can feel the substance slicing at his tongue and cheeks, but the Deity stubbornly continues to chew. Whatever was inside has started dribbling all over his fist, and after a moment, he does pause to experimentally lick at it. Much tastier than the outside.]
action; 1/2
action;
That's glass! You don't eat that. Are you bleeding?
action;
[He spits the somewhat bloodied lumps on the floor, running his red, red tongue over the inside of his mouth. Tiny cuts--they're already beginning to heal, unlike the larger wounds he sustained before.]
[Now back to staring at Saki, still holding the dripping vial. What's he supposed to do with it?]
action;
You drink what's inside it, [she adds, after lowering the glass again.]
action;
Mm. [He'll take the initiative to lift the glass this time, looking somehow awkward with it pressed against his lips before he takes a drink. There's a brief flicker of surprise across his stoic features, and the Deity simply settles for peering down at the object with open curiosity.]
action;
[Saki trades the napkin for the closest rag and kneels, starting to pick up the broken bits of glass now sprayed on the floor. She stands up again when done, carefully wrapping the rag's edges around the glass fragments.]
It's good, right?
action;
Yes. [The sandwich had been, too.]
action;
Do you want some more? You're like, a giant... You don't eat people, do you? Sandwiches are much higher in protein.
action;
[More?]
Yes. [There's no question of that, but the mention of people makes his head tilt.] No. Unless they deserve it.
