Oda just shrugs. "It's more that... I can't connect it. Kitsuno is the name of someone important to me. She was. She died. I hadn't said her name in years. All but forbid it around me. A kitsune princess here not only has her name too, but the Demon King of her..." World? Realm? "Experience... tried to marry her, despite her reluctance." There's too much to explain, and he can't figure out the important parts at all! "Her father was the name of one of my vassals. Not the kitsune one. Apparently Mitsuhide, who is the kitsune one, is also one of her Demon King's close associates, and the only kitsune from her Realm of Mists and Shadows and whatever else, to ally with the Demon King, and not against him." It's complicated. He rubs the back of his neck. "All of this seems so impossible, but I can understand it. I can connect it." He could relate to it, in bizarre enough ways.

He spreads his hands and shrugs again. "But spirits and orbs..." Another headshake. "Mind, I'm not sure how much I can accept about her being an Oracle either, but it is..." he rubbed his face with a hand.

"I suppose as far-fetched as her story is, and it is, I promise. Yours isn't. It just reminds me too much of the monks. And that's not to say I think you're lying." A head tilt. "Kenshin truly believed he was the reincarnation of the god of war. It's just so far from what I know, that the parts that I do know, make it such that I can't connect, understand?"
