Certain places are more spirit prone… Possibly because for thousands of years here people saw spirits in everything spirits became a thing in everything! That reminds me, maybe I should do an arc based on the Mothman or American cryptids made real… XD
They’ve scarpered! Probably lucky they did, or she’d have to take them by the ear and have a stern word.
I thought Inari was a dude.
As for the Exorcist, the contract with the Kitsune are probably his most important relationship. So he’s doing everything in his power to keep that relationship. False spirit or no, if he was able to do a lot of the work by being self taught. Then there is some explanation to being arrogant. It takes a lot of effort to teach yourself and being able to actually do it correctly.
I believe Sage mentioned it before, but Inari is I believe genderfluid, just male-presenting because of how ingrained it is into that society that men are given more respect, and it’s not without merit considering how the exorcist treated Kate.
Ah, but the Exorcist wasn’t self taught. He abandoned his training part-way through because he didn’t have the power to advance and wasn’t developing the skill needed to compensate. Treating the Exorcist like he was self-taught in exorcism is like treating someone who dropped out of school in Grade 7 like they taught themselves how to read because they managed to download a text-to-speech.
Was incapable of handling things without the aid of that spirit, alright. What if he get’s sent overseas, to the States to train under the tutelage of someone who has made a trip to the Celestial Realm?
Inari at the very least is getting a stern talking to! One of the worst things you can do: make a parent look for you!
And now I’m imagining the Celestial Realm equivalent of Yuki standing out on the front porch of her home, yelling out Inari’s name, telling them to come home right now. And it’s in that tone of voice you know as a kid you’d better listen!
probably went off to get into a more comfortable form..
“Don’t you hide from me, child, or it’s a trip to the woodshed for you!”
