Mount Apikuni Just got into town

The stranger called to him with an upbeat tone, but his words were odd, and Takeshi tilted his broad head in playing dumb. Huh? He offered back, Not sure what you're talking about. Yeah, this guy didn't look remotely familiar, and Takeshi didn't consider the spottiness of his victim enough to connect the dots that she might have an angry mother or father somewhere. If anything he'd assumed she was an orphan of sorts- who would let their little girl wander out into a world full of monsters? But yeah, this guy was a stranger. You from around here? He tried to tilt the conversation in a simpler direction, one that made more sense to him than whatever Mal was trying to imply.
