"Nooo. My world isn't terrifying. Gensokyo is beautiful. It's full of so many great things and great people. Even if half of them try to eat humans on sight... But most youkai hunt humans so that's kind of inevitable I suppose..." She shrugged as if this wasn't a big deal.
She waited quietly as Ted thought to himself, tilting her head one way, then the other. She didn't interrupt his musings, however, nor did she seem off-put by the large stretch of silence.
"Does lateness make humans act silly?" A blink. "Rash... Oh! But I mean that Mister Spades. I always try my best for my friends, but my best on some days is better than my best on other days. I'm not perfect though. Miss Maid is really close to perfect but she puts lots and lots of effort into everything constantly so that makes sense..."
She looked a bit thoughtful, her eyes dimming a little, third eye opening a sliver. She was seriously considering Ted's words. She sounded astoundingly focused when she spoke. "I'm going to try to be as clear as I can, okay Mister Spades. Calm is nice and ideal but it's easy to breed chaos under it. Without breaks in the calm we will never be able to see what is going on beyond it before it is too late." She seemed to flicker, becoming less defined for an instant. "And the appearance of actions is important but less so than the actions and their effect. Hands that kill can also heal. The real value comes in knowing which action to take."
Don't preach to your elders Ted.
Koishi wavered, listing a little in the air as her eyes closed. She looked disoriented, her outline swimming into focus again. It had been a mentally stressful day, after all.
"Oh... Okay Mister Spades. I'll keep you safe on your way home, then I'm going to chase some rabbits and bring them home to Sis. She has been restless and some meat that's not fish will probably cheer her up!" Koishi faded from view, even difficult for Ted to see. Likely the state she took on when following and 'protecting' Satsuki.
