'Vivienne' remained silent as the king made his presence known. He rambled off, and explained his presence, as well as hinting towards why Rachel or no one had come to check up on Prushka's scream -- it was most likely that this 'sidearm' of his was the one responsible for this foggy state of the hotel; said fog had also most likely knocked out the hotel's staff, putting them to sleep. It wasn't an unusual method to 'deal with trouble' in plain sight. Most people who were aware of the Turnside would tighten their guard at night, rathre than in the morning... striking at foes during broad daylight was thus a rather effective strategy at catching people off guard. Perhaps Vivienne Bianchi knew a few things about these matters... but wherever it be her or the 'mask' that was in command, she merely nodded to herself after a moment, and replied:
"Oh, it was not a lonely dog, but a hunter's hound... and now the hunter himself makes an entrance, I see! Truly for you to exert such presence by strengthening the grip around your spear, Indeed... you are no different from Great Youkai of old, a genuine article truly! Ah, how enviable it is, to meet something like you while 'we' are nothing more than a fabrication... hehe... but whatever... who 'we' were you say?"
'Vivienne' made a gesture, and the spirits that had merged into her all poked their heads out of Vivienne as if to look at the king. They were still in ephemeral form, and perhaps that is the only form they could take. Each paid their respects to the king in their own way as the masked girl continued:
"Illusive Spirits of the East. Enenra, Tengu, Kitsune, Oni, we are many blended into one, and here we are, speaking as a voice for this empty girl that wears us... Ayane, the silent, empty girl who -- "
An abrupt cut to her sentence, 'Vivienne's' speech was cut as she suddenly lifted her mask. She did not discard it, it was still there, ready to be flipped down once more and worn if the need arise, but as if clearly recognizing how the mask's mannerisms weren't too conductive to a very productive conversation, Vivienne reverted to her usual self to continue the conversation with King Currumpaw.
She did make sure this time to curtsy herself, something the mask had not done so at all.
"... we are students from Pinefall High... came here to meet up with friends and see Owl's Nest Library."
