Before Kasa could say anything, ChÅchin yawned a great exhale of smoke. "It's for the best..."
"Seriously!?"
"Yeah. There's no place for us in society. Think about it...we can't even thrive around electricity. What would eating some kid's energy do but buy us a little more time to wither away?"
As Kasa spluttered, Morinji returned to the tea room with a cup in her small hands. "Now, now. No matter how great our troubles are, we shall never trouble our guests." She tipped herself over to pour Mob a steaming cup of...something that smelled vaguely herbal-y.
"You say that, but when he ran off months ago, he's seemed pretty lively--"
"We won't speak of him in front of our honored guest." Morinji's tinny voice cut straight through Kasa's retort. "He can't trouble anyone as long as they're in these walls, and he shan't."
