Airi's eyebrows shot up at Hikari's response, her jaw dropping before her lips formed a small o. She was clearly trying not to say too much, albeit she was more interested in Ajisai's reaction. Said demon was equally as shocked at first, but in the next moment she looked betrayed. Still, it lasted all of a few seconds before her eyebrows knit together and she stood to her full height. Any past kindness was all but gone in her expression, jeweled eyes sharp. [color=mediumpurple]"How disappointing,"[/color] She replied bitterly. Taking in a breath, she composed herself before she would speak again. [color=mediumpurple]"You will change your mind with time. We will come to an understand one way or another."[/color] The demon turned away from Hikari, casting a weary gaze on Airi. The white haired demon managed to put on a neutral expression in time, perking up slightly. [color=dodgerblue]"Shall we go?"[/color] She asked. Ajisai shook her head. [color=mediumpurple]"There are things I must attend to first...see to it that he is well taken care of,"[/color] She requested. [color=mediumpurple]"The ritual will take some time and I wish not to anger Manjushage. He kept his end of the bargain and now I must keep mine."[/color] She didn't wait for a response before she exited the room. Airi slowly shook her head, turning her attention back to Hikari before sliding off the barrel. [color=dodgerblue]"You didn't stay quiet, but that was almost just as good,"[/color] She giggled, her hand trailing a bar. [color=dodgerblue]"What next? Will you try to break down these bars keeping you in? Or will you bide your time and wait for an escape? I can't wait to see what you come up with."[/color]
