Kiyo's efforts to warn some of the club had borne fruit, as Earthshaker could well imagine she'd have responded rather assertively without them given Rei's ultimatum hanging over her neck. The Rulekeeper's gaze slid along to the Demon of Hibusa herself, though Hizuki's reaction seemed to suggest that she wasn't certain Rei was the real deal herself. [color=orange]"To answer your question, Hizuki; We aren't friendly with Light Girls, but aren't the aggressors either. If you want to save some random people on the street, be our guest, but the moment you decide to attack us we won't be sharing any further words."[/color] With Rei's eyes upon her it was easy to remain a firm, unyielding presence, her face carved from granite and cast in the shadows of her hood. Though with the illumination of her tribal markings, she'd never be able to completely cast in darkness. [color=orange]"We're currently being attacked by a group from the City of Light, and they've made it clear they want a war. You, however, made it clear you're not with them and that you have....desires that align with us."[/color] Earthshaker gestured with a sweep of her cloak to Rei and Willow, the bard's taudry singing for once more a boon then an annoyance as it disarmed any tension to the moment. [color=orange]"So until I see a hostile Light Girl, I'll remain on alert. Keep the peace and we won't have you carted in an ambulance to the City of Light alongside those other brats. If you're going to make quashing Miseria this easy, I wouldn't begrudge your company, but the final say is with the boss lady here."[/color]
