[When Rei first re-entered his office and saw the thank you for accepting this quest message on the computer monitor, he wasn't alarmed-- just confused. Had Rosho decided to use his computer for side job hunting? That's fine, he supposes-- there is nothing particularly incriminating on his computer that Rosho could turn him in for.

[An earsplitting screech rings out above them-- Rei's familiar, searching the skies while Rei rode a ("borrowed") horse to catch up below, spots the commotion. She dives, feathers glittering in the light, and fastens her claws into the forsaken illicit package to spirit it away and draw the ever-encroaching dullahan's attention.
Rei keeps his distance-- no sense getting injured too, he's not stupid-- until the dullahan, wary of both the gold and of losing sight of its head, backs off from its victims to chase the hou-ou. Then he jumps from the horse and runs to the two men cowering at the treeline, dropping to his knees to take stock of them.
