Because they were with someone else, or...? [He can't imagine that, say, Matoba knew that the Daitengu was alive before anyone else did because the Daitengu had to be the one to return his wards in person, but truthfully, his own meetings with Tenkohime are also what he would call "unorthodox" to the extent that he wouldn't be able to guess what a normal meeting is meant to look like if he tried. It could be quite literally anything.] I'm going to guess that at least the Daitengu doesn't flirt with you.

[Natori starts nomming on his own skewer, watching them pile up in front of Matoba with a hint of fondness.] So are you going to go around with a fistful of skewers in one hand and the apple in the other?
