Having been made aware of the observer, Fumiko did start to get that creeping feeling that they were being watched. She started searching the corners with her eyes, taking particular note of the shadowy corners and places worth hiding. There weren't many obvious hiding places where they were standing- an old desk repurposed as a hallway shelf, underneath which she couldn't see anything. She was just straightening again as the mayor herself approached.

"That's right," she said as the mayor got her name right on first try. That was rather unusual. "I was just... admiring the furniture," she mumbled.

She let Alex and the mayor what seemed to her more like polite small talk as she looked up at the walls. Quite a few paintings adorned the walls- old mayors and something that looked like classical paintings, although Fumiko wasn't familiar enough with the art to guess at the age. They were portraits, mostly, with people wearing quite modern clothes despite the old look of the frames and style.

I guess people still order oil paintings of themselves, she thought to herself.

Meanwhile, the conversation was getting to the point, although Fumiko was only half listening as she studied the walls. Something about demons and evil, and not evil and half-demons. How many other races had to constantly fight against public opinion? Even ghosts had the advantage of having occasionally been portrayed as good-aligned in fiction before they were revealed.

As the mayor talked, however, Fumiko's gaze fell on a portrait not far off from them- of a white haired man with piercing blue eyes. He'd tried to keep his expression neutral, but you could still see the laughter lines noted in his face. She was just thinking how kind the man looked- when the portrait moved it's head ever so slightly, and blinked.

She gasped, taking a step away from the painting and blinking out of view for a moment as she was too startled to keep herself visible. She soon reappeared, having composed herself and poked Alex's arm.

"Alex! The painting! I think it's watching us," she hissed, trying to keep her voice low.
