The newly found yokai was certainly talkative, and seemed innocent enough. When she pulled away and ran ahead he simply watched with a smile, dismissing his eight extra tails. "It's no trouble really... Can't you garb yourself in clothing? I did it for your as a courtesy, but still it should be simple enough for an Obake. Perhaps it is you prefer to be nude?" The thought was strangely foreign to the Kitsune, he was nude for the beginning of his life, but still covered in the fur of a fox. Perhaps it was the same for humans, and they became misguided in wearing clothes? Touhou looked down at his own clothes as the girl rattled off questions.

"Uh... We are celebrating the Union of Nobukatsu Oda and his wife Inoue Marina. They are making a bond before the Kǔ Qíng Shù, a bond that will last many lifetimes. We are now leaving Tu Shan, the home of the Tu Shan Fox Spirits, and headed for the Ōbokeyōkai, where humans and Yokai gather alike. People are celebrating because love like this is rare in the world, and the ceremony is in recognition of the Kǔ Qíng Shù's acceptance of their marriage. Only True Love is accepted by the Tree, from my perspective the ceremonies held here are the most important thing in the world. You are free to watch so long as you observe our customs and don't insult the great Lord Oda. My clan handles most of the work though we may find need for your help. As for climbing the tree, you'll have to ask it."

They reached the outskirts of town, outside the Tú Shān Clan's territory, and Itami greeted them with an errant question. "I am showing extreme prejudice!" The statement was said in a laugh, "After all, she merely came to see the festival and I'm not allowing it. That's about as extreme as my Clan is allowed to get with peaceful visitors! Otherwise I'd have called the Kurai Tsuki Guards to come execute her."

Touhou went to inspect the doll nailed to a tree, Oh...? Those Taoists are getting more and more brazen. To come this close to Tú Shān and place their wards... Well, perhaps it could be a valuable training exercise for the youngsters to remove it? His hand stopped short of the doll, and he turned his attention back to Itami and the strange new Yokai he had found. "Hmm? Okuri, she has questions, I'm afraid I might be too old and senile to answer them." His words were spoken soberly, but a mirth in his eyes betrayed the jest.
