[it's a little late for that 'without sounding like-' bit, after the post you made, but he's sidestepping that for now. After all, he's on close terms with Shiki - it's more about feeling out your boundaries and motives and what will or won't set you on someone than if you're 'dangerous'.]

[He gestures with the penlight at the disturbed grass and mud, and tracks...] The tracks just ... vanish a little bit that way; he had some trick for getting into the house or out of sight without leaving a trace, mundane trickery or otherwise. [He wasn't going to rule out the supernatural, but neither was he ruling out the sort of chicanery he'd be more used to back home.]

I don't believe I'd caught your name...?
