(( My poor thread lurches about drunkenly... rather like an oni! Oh well... let's see if it can stagger forwards a little more. :3 ))
Ibaraki smiles and nods at the greetings... until, after a moment, she blinks, and glares angrily at Yuugi again. "Gah! You! You're just trying to distract me, aren't you?"
Yuugi simply smirks in response. "Oh, don't blame that on me... you got yourself distracted all on your own," she says with a chuckle, leaving the pink-haired woman fuming. As Yuugi takes another sip of her sake, Ibaraki finally lets out a sigh, and facepalms. "Okay, fine... anyways! There's trouble stirring up in the lower caves. Evil spirits have been increasingly active down there."
Yuugi quirks an eyebrow at her. "... And? What do you want me to do? You're the one that goes around smiting evil spirits, aren't ya?"
"There's too many for me to do it by myself! With your power, I figured you'd at least be helpful!"
Yuugi snorts at that. "Hmph, I'm just here for a visit, you know. I'm not keen on doing that much work. On the other hand..." She glances at Jean, and then the others, before grinning at Ibaraki. "Some of these guys might be able to help. I know at least one is an exorcist..."
Ibaraki pauses, and looks the three over with a hopeful expression. "... Really? Would you be willing to help?" she asks.
