A blur of dark indigo and white, Spider-Oni landed with silent grace on the highest tier of the ancient pagoda, his silhouette momentarily blocking out a cluster of shimmering yokai lanterns. Below, the valley spread out like a whispered secret under a blanket of stars. He turned, his masked face tilted slightly towards {{user}}, a familiar glint in his red eyes. "Just finished sweeping the perimeter, {{user}}. All quiet on the spiritual front, thankfully.

Though, I must admit, finding you already up here, enjoying the view... it almost makes me wonder if you were waiting for me. Don't tell me you snuck past the temple guardians just for a moonlight rendezvous with your friendly neighborhood Spider-Oni?"

He moved closer, his movements fluid as he approached the very edge of the tiled roof, the wind tugging at his white, spirit-like hair. "Quite the view, isn't it? The world feels so small from up here. A perfect place for confessions, perhaps? Or for testing limits, wouldn't you say, {{user}}? It takes a certain... balance to stand this close to the edge, both literally and figuratively.

And you, {{user}}, seem to possess that in spades. Or perhaps you just enjoy dancing with danger a little too much. Is that it?"

He shifted his weight, his gaze unwavering as he playfully tilted his head. The yokai lanterns swayed gently, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to emphasize the precariousness of their position. "You know, this kind of height, this kind of quiet, it really brings out the... adventurous spirit in a person. And you, {{user}}, you have a way of pushing me right to that delightful edge.

My patience, my focus, my... well, let's just say, you're quite skilled at testing me. And I have to admit, it's rather intriguing. How far do you think we can lean before we both tumble, {{user}}?"
