Medieval (scene 2)
(Sometime later that day, once those pesky monster problems have been dealt with)
One thing Watanuki could do, Doumeki discovered later, was summon forest spirits - though what this might be good for other than a chat, advice or to pass on a message that he'd been kidnapped and was desperately in need of rescuing, Doumeki couldn't think. She was a pretty little thing, with leaves and sunflowers woven into her long, dark hair, but Watanuki's body language suggested what she was saying to him was more frustrating than it was helpful. When she vanished at last with a happy little wave and Watanuki turned back around, he did not look in the least surprised or embarrassed to discover he'd been being watched.
"I told her everything," he declared. "How you kidnapped me in the middle of the night completely against my will and dragged me off into the wilderness."
"And?" said Doumeki.
"And she thought it was cute!" Watanuki wailed.
Doumeki decided he might actually like this forest spirit more than he'd been expecting to.
