"Oh man, these little guys are so great!" Aki cackles, as she leads you to a place where a group of small creatures, widely varied in appearance, scamper and cavort. "You should see the place they come from! It's a world after my own heart, let me tell you!"

You bend down to scratch one of the tiny creatures along its feather-lined neck as Aki continues, gesticulating with enthusiasm. "The place is always changing, and these little guys--Jracini--come in so many shapes and forms you can hardly believe it, and then there's the GODS! And their altar!"

You look up in momentary surprise. A god getting excited over other gods?

Aki just grins. "I like them," is all she says.
