Mika remained quiet, allowing Kuroi to speak his peace. Well he wasn’t about to immediately return her to the palace, that was a relief at least. She almost let out a sigh of relief even, but instead she just focused on calming her trembling. [color=CC3366]”You are perceptive.”[/color] She said, though it came out as a compliment. While her family was often very overprotective of her, they weren’t very perceptive. She often felt invisible unless her presence mattered to someone else. It was partially why she’d been able to overhear some of her father’s plans.

She could feel his eyes looking her over, evaluating her, but she easily ignored it. While she was ignored by her family, if she was out at a party or anything she’d grown quite used to people looking her over whether out of jealousy, admiration, or something else. It was just something that came with the position she was born into. She was a little shocked, however, when Kuroi expressed that he was not interested in training her for compensation sake. She’d even turned to look at him, surprise evident on her face as he said this. Too often people were more interested in what they could gain from her rather than showing interest in her.

[color=CC3366]”You surprise me.”[/color] She stated once he was completely done speaking, a small smile forming on her lips as she gathered her thoughts. [color=CC3366]”I appreciate your concern for my well being. It’s...refreshing, to say the least.”[/color] She then sighed as she glanced back briefly at the palace that was getting further and further away. [color=CC3366]”If I would have stayed within the palace I fear I would have been an even easier target. If Dark Elves descended on that palace right now my father would welcome them with open arms. He’s far more concerned for his own life than he is for the rest of us that live there.”[/color] For a brief moment anger flashed in Mika’s eyes. She fell silent again for a minute in order to compose herself once more.

[color=CC3366]”While I’m surprised that you are still willing to take me on as a student, I am grateful. While I consider myself to have more skill than the average person, I am not naive. There will always be more I can learn and I am determined to learn.”[/color] She glanced over a Kuroi for a moment as she became very serious. [color=CC3366]”War is upon us, however, and while I do wish to continue training, there are other things that I must focus on as well.”[/color] She now glanced around again, weary of listening ears once more.

[color=CC3366]”You are correct, I was not coming to see you though the thought had crossed my mind to see if you would be willing to assist me. Leaders are needed for this war and the Light Elves have asked for my assistance. I am on my way to meet with someone they’ve sent to serve as extra protection for me before heading to meet with Princess Rosaria and the humans she hopefully has in her company.”[/color] She spoke in a low whisper, paranoid that someone would overhear her as this was very sensitive information. [color=CC3366]”I also won’t lie to you, I’m out for blood. I will see to it that those who captured and killed my brother will suffer and pay for what they’ve done.”[/color] The scene of her brother’s death played out in her mind once more and she didn’t realize her fists were clenched tightly in anger. She took a slow, deep breath to calm herself once more.
