One that made her look as if she was about to laugh out loud again. But she didn't speak yet, rather she sent the black & blue ball towards the other group that was currently trying to find the onryo in the apartment complex. And if speed had a term, then that would possibly be one. The two entities in the orb simply melded together into a smaller ball of fire as if, all to quickly burst the airwaves slightly as it dashed with haste towards the group. The entity itself had no other reason to be sent there unless Makiko would somehow deem it useful, or if she'd even have a chance to notice it in her situation. [color=9e0b0f]"Better safe than sorry, as they say."[/color] A mere mutter as she spoke only lightly, more or less to herself. The antics of Ricardo in search of his wallet barely interested her in all honesty, but she wasn't heartless either. And then there was Ana of course. A mildly cold response was the only thing to escape her lips this time against Ana. [color=9e0b0f]"If that term really had a significant meaning, I would be addressing it more seriously. But alas, it is but a needless term for those whom wish to prove themselves in a quarrel of verbal misuse. A poor case of personal values. One views it as an exemplary showcase of oneself, a thing they must uphold in front of others. While the other views it as a superfluous idealism serving only to fuel their self-absorbed thoughts and the opinions of others."[/color] She offers a slight curtsey in return before continuing. [color=9e0b0f]"While I admit that something in your words did uphold a valuable thought, most of it was simply clutter."[/color] Her ears kept twitching from the slight noises in the distance. While they were not otherwise meaningful nor clear, they served to indicate her of the actions going on in the old apartments. Though perhaps her ears were slightly too noticeable in their acts too, as the movement was quite vivid. However she did withdraw her tails back to where they came from under the kimono, right as Ana seems to grab Ricardo's wallet. Hearing the offer for food was somewhat enticing, but she had other things in mind; [color=9e0b0f]"I'm afraid that I will humbly decline from the offer you present. I do not seem to have an appetite as of yet."[/color] Her attitude and tone this time showed sincerity, instead of the old cold tone. [color=9e0b0f]"As much as I am enticed however, I feel a slight need to watch over the little cubs past the block. Albeit as much as I believe in the skill and rationality of Aoyama, she is still young."[/color] The vixen turned around slightly as she began walking slowly in the direction of the onryo group. Not fast as she would normally do in her own manner, but slow and savoring as if she wanted someone to follow her. Her slithery orb must've arrived already somewhere close enough to spot however, as it had quite a bit of time to move. In all honesty though, Setsura wasn't in any clear way sure if she had gotten attached to the folks at the organization or was it simply something she owed Makiko for. But in the end it didn't matter, as she would go there anyway. [@AtomicNut][@Jedly][@VitaVitaAR] (Or anyone else coincidentally looking outside of the building while in a firefight in the apartment.)
