"I see," Chin Yisou smiles. "Sometimes detectives stick to themselves until they need information. You'd recall him if you've met him. Zhentan has some quirks about him. Though, don't we all?"

The ease in reply pleases the demon. He doesn't wish to be conflicted with a potential brother. After all, being in Trench means finding folks to work with.

"So, we are you headed now?" The question is abrupt. "Have you a need for a bite to eat?"

Time has passed but Chin Yisou is unaware of how much. He does like to be aware of another's needs. That's what families do. He thinks with a grin.

[burnitblack]

Quirks? Oh, the other use of that word. Dabi scoffs inwardly at the question. "Ain't really the kind to hang around detectives. They're good at gettin into business which doesn't concern them."

He's had a run in with a detective before, some idiot who was hired to track down and investigate some activity Dabi was behind. Not much came from it, outside of a tentative truce and a meeting, but it reinforced his opinion on law enforcement.

"Followin you. Didn't feel like endin the conversation." Chin Yisou had been the one to leave and Dabi the one to follow from the tree. He has no destination in mind, just the curiosity enough to tag along for shits.

"You payin?" As much as people "pay" in Trench for something to eat. While he's capable of getting his own food, if someone's gonna put themselves in the position to mooch off, he'll go for it.

"I see," Chin Yisou replies with a grin. "There's no harm in good company."

He takes a pause. When talking of food, he recalls of a location nearby. Chin Yisou provides a bow.

"I know of a decent place," he announces. "Just follow me."

The old demon walks along without a care. He leads Dabi through a grassy path that trails into a forest. Beyond a clearing lays a wide lake.

"Here we are!" The demon cheers. "Do you like fish?"

Chin Yisou beams as his centipedes already make their move towards the water. Two pairs of mandibles dunk beneath the surface. Both are eager for a drink.

"Depends on how good a judge of character ya are." It's a droll statement, wry jesting at best, but at least he's aware this guy isn't immediately out for threats. Shouldn't hurt to tag along for a while more. Get a meal out of it.

"Uh-huh." It's what he's been doing for a while now. Following. The bow gets a pursed expression, unsure about that formality and dismissing it at the same time.

Considering the Farther Shores aren't directly connected to Trench like the more-used fishing lanes outside the city's wharf, the two are once more back in the forest. Usually Dabi takes to flight over the woods rather than walking through them like an idiot, but in this case... well he does have a literal meat shield if necessary.

The lake, however, is one he's seen from above but never actually visited... and then he gets the distinct idea Chin Yisou is not referring to a restaurant for a meal. Roughing it, huh.

"No. Hate it." Sorry, buddy, but you're looking at an odd Japanese man who hates fish. Reason for that, but not one he's going into. Dabi instead indicates the two centipedes drinking at the lake sure. "Ya sure those two ain't gonna get eaten?"

[thevengefuldoll]

He doesn't like...fish? Thr demon looks confused. While noting the remark about his pets, Chin Yisou agrees.

"I'm surprised to be honest," he smiles. "As for them, I guess I can call them back to their safe haven."

The demon approaches his centipedes. The smaller one nudges him with a friendly gesture. However, the larger of the two hisses in aggravation.

"I'm sorry, but it's best to send you back." Chin Yisou motions with his hands. "I'll let you out at camp."

Once the centipedes recede into a small portal, Chin Yisou sighs.

"So, what did you have in mind for food?" He asks.

Chin Yisou was ready to catch a bite. Yet, if his company isn't in the mood for such a meal, then the demon must concede with another option.

[burnitblack]

"Not everyone likes fish." Dabi doesn't mind things like shrimp and crab and seaweed, but fish in general makes him retch.

Only reason he commented about the bugs is that in this place, where monsters roam and the woods aren't safe, sending your pets to the water's edge without checking is just asking for something to leap out and bite down. No matter how tranquil the lake looks.

Dabi watches in silent curiosity as the creatures are ushered through a portal. Interesting. The big one's got an attitude. Definitely not an omen in that case. "Camp?" Not his business, but since it was said... and he picks up on it.

"Thought you were headin back to town. Usually get somethin at the marketplace or one of the bars." Though at least with the bars, he'll actually pay for his food, compared to stealing at the marketplace.
