[Oh shit. He remembers these. He hid from the ravens the last two nights, but now he has to... do something. Because Itsuki is cute, and his desire to show off and potentially impress her is taking over what small logical part of his brain exists. He should run, but he doesn't. He does shriek and duck as one of the ravens darts down, the lantern almost hitting him. A bad start. Toki maybe should have kept the sword, but he goes for the omamori and holds it up to the ravens.]

The mighty and resplendent Joroko will destroy you~!

[Or not. Toki's shadow remains just that, and the spider-woman is nowhere in sight.]

Joroko!

[He says it like admonishing a child. She doesn't like the fire, but he's trying to cultivate an image here. She could at least show up for a minute and stab some ravens. He drops the omamori as a couple more ravens attack, one managing to hit him in the face with a lantern, which was no great feat. He wipes the trickle of blood away from a small laceration, and is now determined to make up for this display of uselessness. He has to try a different tactic to get his Persona out. He retrieves the omamori and smiles at Itsuki.]

Itsuki~! Have I told you how strikingly beautiful you are in the warm glow of the flames~? Your pure heart radiates from within and brings me joy and peace even in this dungeon of despair! If only I could capture one sliver of such glorious bravery as you display, I would be invincible!

[And that worked. Joroko emerges from the shadow, quickly and hissing. Unfortunately, she turns to Toki and not the ravens. How dare he speak to another woman that way? Her eight eyes glare violently and she raises one leg, resting the sharp point of it against his chest.]

I didn't mean it! K-kill the ravens!... please?

[This is where he'll die, he's sure of it.]
