[@floodtalon] [@Mega Birb] [center][h3][color=a2d39c]Miyu [/color][/h3][/center] Miyu was awake, and she was definitely worse for wear, the ropes had bitten into her flesh while she had been thrown around, and her face was a mask of caked blood from the wound that had knocked her out. As the blood began to flow again, she ran a hand along her arm, stretching things out. Her body gave a slight shiver, as she was faced down by Herny and the hellhounds. Fear? Excitement? Both? Regardless, a smirk came to her face and as Henry delayed for a moment, she opened her mouth to speak. And then with a crash, Sliske entered the scene, completely interrupting the pair of them. Miyu stayed where she was, kneeling on the ground. She wasn't 100% sure she was allowed to stand, or 100% she was physically capable of doing so without shaking like a leaf or falling over from the condition she was in. So, she tried to play it cool and gave each of the menacing hornets a sidelong glance. He finished quickly though, and Miyu found a chance to speak up. [color=a2d39c]"So, is this guy your boss or something? Or am I going to watch him get splattered across a wall for acting like he owns the place? Hoping for option two personally. Our last stimulating discussion was rudely interrupted by me exploding my mech and shooting at you. I'm still kinda wondering what your favorite quote is."[/color] Miyu asked of Henry about Sliske, apparently confused by Sliske's swagger and acting like he owned the place. Her pride meant she assumed any demon strong enough to beat her was probably in charge and important, and seeing someone possibly above that person would just put her another rung lower on the totem pole. The fact that Sliske had summoned hornets that she had no idea would only sedate her and would probably kill her as far as she knew, also helped put him even further on Miyu's hateometer than Henry. Her attempt to get them to fight was perhaps less than a stellar example of social manipulation to the two much more experienced than her demons, but it was easy to tell that she would root for Henry over Sliske if she did get them to fight. [color=a2d39c]"On another note, my team won? Someone must have worked overtime and and a half. Well, that's nice, I think I'll bake a celebration cake. You can have some to assuage your loss."[/color] Miyu twirled her finger in a very deliberately low energy and insincere looking "whoo-hoo gesture" at the hypothetical cake. She wasn't perfect at social bluffery, however, and some measure of honest surprise and happiness that her team won peeked through. It gave her something to brag about, which was in otherwise short supply. Then she glanced around a bit. [color=a2d39c]"Presuming you have a kitchen. Like, seriously? Giant castle, and you can summon stuff from nowhere, and the place is empty? Such a waste of potential."[/color] Miyu didn't know how Henry's gates worked and seemed to think he could just make stuff appear from nothing. Which is not too far from the truth.
