What - what kind of an example is that? [He grunts.] Hmph... As cruel as that may be, that is not a brand of evil that I care for! I am far above the affairs of mundane humanity!
A world without hamsters?! That is a world... that does not deserve to exist! It would be the ultimate punishment... so long as the hamsters are safely whisked away to a pocket dimension, where they can frolic freely without human interference!
[ If, indeed, one could say it was truly evil. Which she still had some doubts... about... ]
Well, now that we've gotten that squared away -- I was going to tell you some news I'd picked up recently. It seems that Joey's been acquitted of any charges. In fact, I believe it's now the trainer of a rival kangaroo who's now under suspicion as part of a conspiracy to take out the competition.
But he pauses as he takes in her account and smirks.]
Kehehe... So that explains the good omen I sensed in the air! And that conspiracy has been undone with our efforts. May Joey's power continue to rise and may his enemies suffer!
Uh huh. Although if it turns out to involve more than just that trainer, it could mean some trouble for Joey's career. Not that I follow kangaroo bouts, but I've heard of competitions that suffer after their administration turns out to be corrupt.
...anyway, what are you doing now? Are you meeting someone for a date?
[He crosses his arms as he tries to reclaim his cool.]
I have my reasons. I have to investigate this place for any hellmouths, or any interesting demon beasts that may come to the festival. I- I have quite enough business on my own without having to conduct any needless mating rituals!
[ She gave him a scrutinizing look for a second, trying to figure out if he really wasn't interested in that sort of thing or he was interested and just denying it, like Surreau always did? It was confusing. ]
Ah! By 'interesting demon beasts', did you mean you were going to visit the petting zoo? They have some pellets you can feed to the animals for a small fee.
[Confusing is just the way he wants it. He doesn't want to reveal if he took part in a date-like activity! Luckily, there's a new topic of conversation that works much better for him.
He grins at the mention of the petting zoo.]
Kehehe... Good. Very good! So the legends are true. Such a ritual is being practiced on these grounds.
Very well. That is where the roads of fate shall lead me on this dark day! I shall commune with those demon beasts, and they shall feed my twisted aura!

You mean like stealing a young woman's first kiss, even though you know her heart is set on her childhood friend?
