(He stops to look back at Kaeya, gold eyes watching focusing on the knight. He's an old spirit, one that has been around others for a long time. Does he really buy what Kaeya is saying? Does he really believe what most people say around him? Hm.)

You're still quite young.

(He gently corrects Kaeya and turns on his heel, his robes billowing and twisting with the motion. Kiku begins to shift forms, freeing his arms and the long sleeves of his kimono look like wings. Everything with him is always for show, )

Did you know you can learn lessons from old stories? There are many stories but in every versionn, to break a promise with a crane ends with it leaving forever, never to be seen again.

(Beside him, Kiku stands in a form she has shown before but doesn't take particularly often-- a red crowned crane. She watches Tsurumaru, her wings tucked neatly at her side,)

Be careful.

(He rests a hand on his sword,)

If there's something you want to know, you should ask it.

(Maybe Kaeya should just try asking directly!!!)
