Koishi just stared up at ted, tilting her head to one side, then the other, blinking a little bit. "Umm... You're not very confident in yourself, are you Mister?" She tilted her head. "I always follow my intuition because following it is a good idea." She swung his arm a little bit. It was probably a little strange since she was floating and not actually stepping in time.
Yes Ted. Protect you from the scary powerful vampire. She's an ancient beast of myth and legend. She can manage.
She leaned a little more to one side as she listened to Tet speak. "Well yeah. You're a human Mister. Humans are physically weak but really cunning and tenacious. That's how it's supposed to work. Youkai and humans fight. Youkai are very strong and powerful but humans are cunning and numerous. That way a balance is kept. At least that's how it used to be. Then humans discovered things like gunpowder and the youkai decided to let the humans win and found nice peaceful places to hide. Just because you can't win on your own all the time doesn't make you any less. It just means you're human and therefore teamwork and ingenuity are your best weapons."
Another pause. She hadn't really considered why he kept calling her a fairy. Fairies were very different things in her world. "Yeah but... I'm tiny. but fairies are even tinier. And I don't have wings. I am a satori youkai. We are completely different." She gave him a beaming smile, no doubt making him only see her as more fairy-like. "I've never heard of fairies doing things like that. They sound like they're really smart and lovely and really good companions for humans. I'll help you out, okay Mister?" She was absolutely beaming now. "I can do lots of things."
She paused as Ted stopped in front of a shop, the little youkai staring up at it for a long minute. "Ohh. Okay. It's important to be prepared. There are lots of scary things. I can-" She drifted forward to follow Ted, stopping short several paces from the doorway, every muscle in her body tense. The glow in her eyes had gone out completely, leaving them flat and black. She didn't move for a several moments before drifting back a short ways, shaking her head hard. When she focused on Ted, she seemed back to normal.
"Wards and repelling and crackling around... I can't go in." She rummaged in her pocket and tossed Ted a little bag. It held a little bit of money. Not a bunch but it would help some. Once he exited she perked up significantly, the artery over her shoulder twisting into a heart. She didn't try to get closer again though.
"Come on. It's this way. I think!" She reached out to take his hand, half dragging him along a decent pace. "I'll use my magic to help, okay? I know lots of different spells and I can make lots of brambles. So don't worry."
