Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setzer turned to face her once the Foxfires were dispersed throughout the area surrounding them. His ears perked at the word "uncle." He repeated the word aloud in a surprised manner. "Well, sure, I don't see why not. You can call me whatever you like. It won't bother me any. He resumed his normal sitting position when he saw her continue to close her eyes.
He took a seat, in a meditative position. His legs crossed and his back straightened. Setzer's many tails doing the same. His eyes closed as he continued to think. Not over anything in specific however. Being as old as he was, he never really needed to sleep, not unless he was bored, wounded, or worse.
When his eyes opened again, he noticed his new niece sleeping peacefully before him. Content, he continued to watch over her. Realizing, he hasn't done anything like this since he had met his sister Meagan. He took a glance at the sky, seeing the full moon glow through the trees as it began to rise.

Setzer opened his eyes at the sight of the youngling taking hold of her Zanpakto. Making a mental note of getting her something when he was able to. His eyes glanced to the sky, still holding his physical pose. His ears perked to hear the various sounds coming from the forest, none of which held any danger to the pair. The smell of the fresh night came rolling in, slightly dewy in nature, perhaps showing it would soon be morning.
He stood, and began to search around nearby to find anything that could be of use for food for the youngling. But all he could find were some small bushes with various berries, they were sweet, and should be well liked by Hatsume. The smell was wonderful, but his diet never contained food like this anymore, for he needed a better source of energy, that he really didn't need now. He placed them on a rather large leaf, and folded it to keep anything unwanted from entering them, then took his seat back where he was before leaving for the food.

Setzer felt the dirt underneath of him rise as dust when his body touched the earth beneath him. The smell irritated him, as he began to sneeze. He exhaled quickly, ridding himself of the dirt. Once finished, Setzer noticed that Hatsume had awaken. "Morning." He spoke, but realized her attention had moved elsewhere. A smile appeared on his lips as he looked over to her. "Go on, eat up. It's all yours." It nearly looked as if she'd start drooling if she didn't soon.

Setzer watched, pleased at his niece's appetite. He held out his arms as she darted toward him, not expecting it, but reacted anyways. His arms wrapped around her in a quick, tight embrace, then let go as she ran back toward her spot. He got a quick whiff of her scent as she was that close, he enjoyed it, and committed it to memory. He then watched as she began to eat the berries.
He looked up, and noticed when she held forth the berries. "No thank dear, my diet is a bit... different from yours." He smiled, and lifted a hand waving it at her, motioning for her to eat it.

Setzer smiled, realizing she didn't understand the reason behind his diet. He decided it best to show her. From his pocket, he took out a small piece of rock, and struck it along the sheath of his zanpaktou, over some small pieces of wood, creating a small fire. Smiling, he placed his sword back to his waist. "This is my diet," he spoke as he lifted a hand. Watching as several many sparkles of light rushed from the fire toward his outstretched hand, slowly as the fire began to dissipate.
"The diet of a kitsune changes as he ages, mine just happens to be toward fire. I could very well feast on air as well, but that would damage the air in that area. As for food, like that," pointing at the area where the berries continued to grow. "I could very well eat them myself, but it wouldn't be as satisfying as this."
Setzer's eyes glanced at her as she leaned down, being taller than her, it didn't take much for her marking on the back of her neck to be seen, but decided that it'd be best to let her speak of it when she decided to bring it up.

Setzer looked over. "It's true, there are many things a kitsune can feast off of. From music, to thoughts, to happiness, to things like fire, and water..." He listened to the rest of her story, rather intrigued. "So, you died, and became a kitsune? Or were you a kitsune inhabiting a human body? Generally, the first doesn't happen to often."
He continued to think to himself for a moment. "As for myself, I just happened to come across the Soul Society, myself and my sister. I'm sure the two of you will meet sometime soon." He smiled, thinking over Meagan, then replied to her last comment. "I'm vaguely familiar with Bounts, they feed on the souls of the departed to live immortally, but rumor has it there was a group feeding on the living. However, the difference, is what is needed to live. Bounts don't need to devour living souls to live, whereas certain Kitsune need to."

Setzer listened intently to her story, not exactly having a family of his own, save for his sister, and just recently Hatsume. His ears perked at the name of "Nogitsune." "Well... Legend holds that all Kitsune and Nogitsune alike, are all made in the image of Inari, a deity well known in the religion of Buddhism, and Shinto, mostly the latter. Anyhow, Kitsune and Nogitsune are the same, at least in species, and abilities. However, a Kitsune lives by Inari, while Nogitsune do not. And not all are that bad really. Some like to act out, others are just peaceful."

"The only way for there to be a bad kitsune, is for him to deny Inari. Kitsune and Nogitsune are all kitsune, the only difference is whether or not to follow Inari." Setzer watched as she slowly walked around behind him. Smiling, he moved his tails back and forth, teasing her with them. "Go on, you can play with them." Continued to watch with his head turned, he turned to face the stones where the fire was the night before.
((Ugh >< couldn't think of anything else ><))
