He smiles at Grane's words,
"That's something that will never change. A parent will always worry about their child. And yet at the same time I have to trust her to live her own life. Reguardless of whatever happens I trust her to do her best. She's a lot like her mother. That makes it a little easier," he looks down at his hand as he contines. His smile fades,
'And yet that too comes with it's own set of concerns. I'll have to tell her soon... Mitsuko...'
She sighs and looks back at the book,
"Lazarus your belief in her is part of the reason I'm giving her a chance. One thing I've made a point to do is judge people what they do not by what others say. So no I can't- no I won't take your word for it. It's just not how I work," she picks it up and walks up to Javis,
"Would it be too much trouble if I made myself a drink? There are several people out there to watch me. I'd come right back in. I could get you something too if you want. I'm not stupid enough to try and escape."
She stands there for a couple seconds before taking a couple steps back she stabs her sword into the ground. She looks at the edolas version of the best friend who now had the bow fully drawn aimed at her,
"What? Are you going to shoot me? Have I offended you in some way? If I have I'm sorry," she clenched her hand several times making sure the cut wasn't too bad.
"Who the hell are you and why do you look exactly like Sayuri? If I don't like your answer I might place an arrow between your eyes. So answer the question. Quickly."
