The Medicine Seller didn't seemed bothered by Pitou trailing after him - while he wasn't the most talkative person alive, he certainly liked to listen, and they were full of all sorts of interesting things.
He also wasn't a stranger to very different ways of thinking - the way many Ayakashi thought and behaved were quite alien to humans (and he only got involved when the combination of the two resulted in a Mononoke). If Pitou was an ant, it made sense their perspective almost entirely favoured the health and well-being of the colony to the exclusion of any single individual's needs.
"Your queen must have a varied diet," he remarked, albeit distractedly. His head turned, like some sort of animal that had caught a scent... which he had. Whoever had been living in that shack was long deceased - the smell of decay wasn't overpowering but it lingered.
"Did your body change when you came through the rift?"
