I don't think I'll go picking a direct fight anytime soon. [UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE HAKKAI.] But, it's definitely something to think on. We should really hear all sides before making a clear decision, it wouldn't do to jump to conclusions and muddling everything up further.

That said... I don't think I can forgive someone who loses their temper so easily and seriously! [Says...the girl gunning for Sanzo but. That's different okay?] Hmm.

I hate not having all the pieces. [Sigh.] I'll talk with Sanzo about it some too, okay? I'm sure if we're all working together, we'll find out something! Maybe I should try talking to Amaterasu too. [She trails off, thinking this over before she gives Hakkai a gentle smile and holds out her hand]

Come on, let's get back to the party before I change my mind.

[reformedsinner]

Really, you can't?

[Doesn't she get along well with Sanzo? Well -- so far, when he's lost his temper, he hasn't actually shot anyone over it.

To Hakkai's knowledge.

He smiles and reaches out to take her hand.]

... Thank you, Genjo. I'd offer to ask around a little more myself, but I think it may be better if I don't provoke any of them too much, for now.

[sanzohoshi]

Well... [She trails off and laughs.] No, I guess that's not quite true, but you could've at least let me pretend to be tougher for a little while, Hakkai!

[And to be fair, up until Sanzo's decided to beat her with a fan watching the cherry blossoms with Gojyo, he's at least never directed any actual violence towards her. The pillow fights don't count.]

Oh, so you do have some self-preservation instincts! [It's said cheerfully, but..............]

That'll be a good idea though. If you just so happen to overhear things, though... Well, no one can fault you for that, right? [She winks and then gives his hand a squeeze, the only warning before she teleports them back to the trees. Though, thankfully, not actually in any trees. Those shenanigans can come when Hakkai is nice and healed]

[reformedsinner]

Think of it as keeping you honest!

[If he's lucky he'll get away with his own white lies for a little longer... but she seems far too perceptive for it to last forever.

He'll just have to get plenty of his own in before he loses the upper hand.]

I'll see if I happen to overhear anything useful, yes.
