Koishi's muscle memory was well trained in navigating the Palace of the Earth Spirits. So much so that her skin could feel a slight disturbance in the air when a stranger was visiting. Strangers were quite stimulating to Koishi, as they often brought with them things her eyes had not seen, and things her hands had not touched. And if she was lucky, some strangers would be able to see and play with her.

Today was one of those days. There was a nice visitor who had entered the Palace, their body alone alerting Koishi's senses to their presence. Koishi's legs began to carry her towards the alien prescence, like ants to melting ice cream. Her movements were automatic, but had a whimsical, dance-like quality to them. Before the stranger knew it, Koishi was behind them. Koishi's power reached out to the visitor's subconscious, temporarily lowering her shielded prescence to make itself known.

"Hi there! I'm Koishi!" The words pass from Koishi's lips, startling the visitor who turns to see her.
