Miwa heard Vesemir's words with a serious expression. As unbelievable as it was, it was still true...

[color=6ecff6]"I have felt it, Vesemir. Jazdia's curse. I have no trust left for anything Arcan says or does, seeing how he didn't seem to be opposed to the use of treachery to have things done his way, but if what he said is true, it would perfectly explain what I felt."[/color] Miwa said with a serious expression.

[color=6ecff6]"Feel free to investigate it until you are satisfied. With me and Fia there, I am sure it is more than enough to prevent any kind of harm due to lingering curses."[/color] Miwa said with a sigh, still calming herself after confronting Arcan before turning to Rezello and giving a nod of reassurance just as Eblana approached her, after carefully examining and caring for Jazdia's bruised neck.

[color=6ecff6]"I am fine, thank you. Arcan wouldn't dare touch me and not expect just retaliation."[/color] Miwa replied to Eblana with a kind smile, ending with a fiery stare as she looked to where Arcan had disappeared.

At that exact moment, Miwa heard Fia's words as she mentioned how unlike a miko her reactions were. While she did notice that Fia didn't mean to offend, her words still annoyed her, considering the history of the Shirakawa temple.

[color=6ecff6]"The Shirakawa Temple stands in a soil bathed in the blood and sweat of all the monks and mikos that came before me. Ours is a history of taking up arms when no one else would. When words and good acts weren't enough, when the cruelty and greed of warmongering tyrants threatened to break our spirit, we stood our ground and fought back."[/color] Miwa said with unshakeable conviction.

[color=6ecff6]"Our kindness is what aids those in need, but our wrath is what keeps them safe."[/color] she finished, looking at Fia with fiery determination.

[color=6ecff6]"Verdant is right. The sooner we are done, the sooner we can leave this place behind us."[/color] Miwa said after a few moments of silence, approaching Verdant with a kind smile as she gently patted her head.

While it was definitely surprising to have seen the adorable Verdant act so ferociously, even changing forms and taking a combat stance, it was still very comforting she was willing to go so far for her companions.

[color=6ecff6]"Thank you for your help with Arcan."[/color] Miwa said with a kind smile.
