I think it is the caterpillar who should be thanking you.

[Wow, this thing is even uglier up close. Changge's smile doesn't falter though.]

I haven't introduce myself. My name is Li Changge. It is nice to meet you. [Bowing as well as someone who is holding a caterpillar could. Which means no putting a fist in the other palm as a greeting, but whatever. It's your fault this caterpillar is in the way, so...]

((OOC: Continued from here.))

[unwielding]

I'm sure it is glad to have moved on.

[ away from this tall thing that could crush him. not that this person isn't also technically much larger than the caterpillar. ]

I am called Taroutachi. [ he bows himself ] I am pleased to make your acquaintance.

[withoutrest]

[And also much more likely to crush it if given a compelling enough reason to.]

The pleasure is mine.

[Okay, straightening up and, damn it. What do you do with a caterpillar? How do you get rid of something like this???]

Are you also a new arrival?

[unwielding]

[ just don't do it in front of tarou ]

Yes, I suppose so.

[ he was going to just dump it in the grass if no one took it. ]

[withoutrest]

Then we are in the same boat.

[Just chucking it would probably be bad form. After thinking about it, Changge just walked off to put it somewhere elevated so it won't be stepped or sat on.]

What do you think of the explanation we were given?

[unwielding]

I'm not in a boat.

[ he doesn't understand idioms... ]

It is not the first time I have been summoned somewhere. But I don't understand much else about this.

[withoutrest]

...it is a saying. It means that we are in a similar situation.

[Have a head tilt.]

This has happened to you before?

[unwielding]

Ah. I see. [ he nods, determined to remember this ]

Within my own world, I was summoned to a future time.

[withoutrest]

...how?

[unwielding]

By the saniwa, my present master.

[withoutrest]

What is a saniwa?

[unwielding]

The saniwa is the one who summoned us. He uses us for battle, cares for us, trains us ...

[withoutrest]

So a saniwa can summon people from the past? That is-- [insane. Impossible.] impressive.

[unwielding]

It seems so. Objects, anyway. [ hmmmm ] He is small, but capable of good things.

[withoutrest]

[Confused head tilt.] But you are not an object.

[Changge smiles a little.] I should like to meet this saniwa of yours sometime.

[unwielding]

I am an oodachi.

[ he's very matter of fact about that. and then nods his head. ]

I am sure he would be willing to meet you as well.
