[ She can't fault him for not knowing how, and she braces herself when the cupboard smashes and splinters across the room. The ayakashi throws out another claw, its talons latching onto the wall and tearing through family portraits in order to stabilize itself.

Is it because he had been too busy lecturing her that he didn't have more time to practice his own new techniques? She feels guilty for that. ] That's fine-- we'll take of this together. Come, Genki--!

[ She reaches out her hand to grab a hold of his phone form and-- yep, he's going in her pocket. Her lips press into a thin line, a sort of disgusted smile at the creature who has ruined this family's living room. ] Not another growl out of you-- ha! [ She throws out five more ofuda, whose writing appears on the paper are they are throw. This time, she's not aiming for the creature, but the ground and the walls, and sometimes the air itself as the charms hover to create a ward. And she throws out five more, and five more again, each time pushing the ayakashi back to the fire place.

Its claw strikes at the paper charms, damaging a few of them. But when one is gone Sanae has two more to replace them, and she steadily but surely the ayakashi is finally crammed back into the fireplace. ] So what are you going to do now, huh? [ She taunts, holding up another charm. ] Stand there and let me exorcise you, or--

[ YEAH NO, it's bolting out of the house. ] Thought so. [ She rushes out the door and leaps into the air to give chase.

Perhaps they haven't fought together enough for him to realize, but she does enjoy this part of her job, too. ]
