Snippet #2463180

"I'm Akihana, governor's assistant. Our governor asked for me to find some older records for him, and I ended up with these behemoths." The kitsune pushed the door open with her foot, stepping into Jishua's office. She plopped the books down on his desk, and gestured Beth to do so as well.
The kitsune's ear perked up after a few moments, and she stepped over towards Beth curiously. After staring at her, and sniffing the air once or twice, her other ear perked up as well.
"Are you and your sister of a magical bloodline? She practices magic, and you smell of a shapeshifter. Don't worry, no normal people can smell anything different. Only those similar to myself can pick that up just by being around you." The kitsune tapped a finger on her nose and laughed, her nine tails fanning out behind her.
"Oh, stop with that look! It's not like you reek of necromancy or anything." Akihana was continuing to make herself laugh, almost rolling on the floor at this point.
