Okami started, bowing his head a little, "I'm sorry..." He shifted, smiling gently, "I'm sure they would be proud of you. You're a very kind person."

He blinked, playing with the tips of his boots absently, "How long?" He sighed, "It's been thirteen years...I guess it doesn't seem that long and it's terrible for me to be forgetting already..." He shook his head, "My people live for a long time...not as long as the immortals but...still. I keep thinking, soon I'll forget them completely."
