Kerry looked at Takamori after he made that request. Actually looked at him, dead in the eye, to see he really meant what he said. Upon seeing that he indeed stood by his statement...

[color=fff79a]".....Heh...Heheheh.....Wow.......The fucking [b]gall[/b] you have of asking me to honor that..."[/color]

Kerry began to approach Takamori, smirking but the archer could tell there was nothing jovial behind her expression.

[color=fff79a]"The man is moving heaven and earth for your countrymen, Takamori."[/color]

Her trek continued, her smirk slowly being replaced with an intense scowl, along anger now creeping into her voice.

[color=fff79a]"Putting his life on the line every day, going against your rules and traditions just so your people can have even a [i]morsel[/i] of a fighting chance in this war and doing it all with a smile to inspire hope and courage!"[/color]

The anger was now brimming in her tone as she closed in on the human, her hands twitching in a clear display of restraint as she fought the urge to pull out one of her spears.

[color=fff79a]"Takeshi is doing everything in his power and ability to save this speck of dirt you call home......[b][i]and you would have him killed for it!?"[/i][/b][/color]

Kerry now stood before Takamori, noses almost touching as she stared him down, as if trying to burn a hole in his soul.

[color=fff79a][b]"I should sting you in the fucking gut for asking me that!"[/b][/color]

Silence followed as the mamono and human stood glaring at each other, the breeze whistling through the air and the birds chirping in the nearby forest. After a tense minute, Kerry turned and began walking away.

[color=fff79a]"I take it we're done here."[/color], she spoke, curt and to the point. [color=fff79a]"If you got nothing else you need help with, then I'm heading back. Thanks for showing me a reason why Shizuyama shouldn't be saved."[/color]

Without even waiting(and not caring, to be honest) for a reply, Kerry took flight and made her way back toward the temple.
