[ what the hell. it's not like oushi's never met someone who had less of a filter than he did, but it's definitely not a common occurrence that said candor ever resulted in having a compliment thrown his way right off the bat.
(besides. him? cute? sure, he doesn't think he's ugly or anything, but he's nothing remarkable either.)
great. now they're both flustered. ryuji seems to recover quickly enough, which emboldens oushi to do the same lest he get written off as some kind of chump. he clears his throat, tries to ignore the way heat crawls up his neck (making those tiny hearts on his cheeks — glow?) and soldiers on. ]
S'fine. It's just a game, right? [ he's played it before plenty of times. it's fine! ] How many rounds do you wanna go?

...the dogs with the smashed in face?
[ this backhanded compliment?????
now he's feeling a little petty, so while he'd been mostly opting out of any questions or dares in a sexual nature (also out of pettiness, lol), he's ignoring that resolve for this particular round— ]
what's something sexual you wish someone would do to you here but hasn't happened yet?

[Natori assumes the "uh" is just another "what is this weirdo doing" reaction, which was of course what he was aiming for! So he doesn't think anything special about it.
Also... unfortunately for Oushi, he's the first person to have texted Natori since he received this dare, so.]
Alright then! So tell me honestly: do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
["again," as if he's walked by at all, or they've laid eyes on each other at all???]

[For this one he's going to assume Oushi means good dreams and not nightmares. It's better for everyone that way.]
I have this one dream where I'm in the middle of Paris on a busy weekend. After eating a nice brunch, I stand up from the table at my favorite restaurant, and then realize I don't have pants on.
I wonder what it means.

i only hex jerks. so........ don't be a jerk. (∘❛ั⌔❛ั∘)
[ RIP Oushi. ]
rent's expensive. if a job pays well, why shouldn't i take it, you know? and it's usually a grab bag of different stuff, so the variety is nice — weather, helping plants grow, purifying water, so on. if it falls under classical elements and isn't too ridiculous, i can probably pull it off.
and what about you? shall i take a wild guess what your day job is?

I don't have any idea what you're talking about ✨
Was it a waste? We learned important things about each other! See, I'll do truth again, so you can ask more.
It's a family business. Or it was. I'm the first Natori in many generations who's been able to see ayakashi, so I restarted it.
Well, that makes it sound like those are opposites, doesn't it?
What you need to understand is that ayakashi live much, much longer than humans, and they don't really distinguish between individual humans very well. To them, the Natori living today might as well be the same Natori from hundreds of years ago who exorcised or sealed their brethren. There's some degree of protection in not being able to engage with them, but not total. So imagine you're an ayakashi out to get revenge on a family that wronged you, and all of a sudden one of them can look back.

["after all???" time to lean in.]
Not at all! I wanted to do it because the ayakashi teased me all the time when I was a kid.

Haha, too true! It's impossible to downplay my shine.
What about you? What do you do, back home?
