"Time isn't a problem for me. And besides, I got the slick moves if I feel like it." He gave a toothy grin and laughed. Kitsune lived for a while, so it doesn't matter how long it took to learn how to twirl the baton. Fire breathing would be the easiest part of it too. Heck, he could set himself on fire and continue on with the show.
Ater shook his head with a shrug. "Well who knows? A couple of friends said that there was some kind of forbidden temple where dark rituals used to take place, and that was what cursed our bloodline. But I've seen a lot of other kitsune clans, and we don't seem to be that different from them. Just a difference in how we do things and how involved we are with the temples we tend to. Like this one clan who keeps out of sight, meanwhile we are open to being seen. And that they usually wear different colors of robes. Us? We use black with a bit of red... And no, that's not because we're edgy or evil or anything. We're just... I guess weird? We're a bit shadowy with the dark color choice, but that's tradition, can't really help it."
