"Eh, you're so rude!" the princess said, seeming to have a problem with Karna. While, Miki agreed that Karna wasn't necessarily to everyone's taste, the lad wasn't really a bad guy, and even Miki realized this. Meanwhile, it seemed the raccoon child was very serious about no moves being made at Kou, and Miki found that funny as well. Perhaps the girl was related in some way, Kou even went on to try and change the girl's words about her woman's intuition. Hikari looked at the lad with a huff. "I said what I said!~" she commented flippantly. Madoka was in a very strange position after a few moments, she could easily provide Miki with the gold she wanted to help in fixing her weapon, but she wasn't sure what someone like Kou would even want. "Ano, I don't really know what you'd like, you are already a Knight. But if it is within my power to grant it, I will," Madoka said firmly. She realized of course, that you couldn't get something for nothing, and that she'd been a bit outlandish to them initially. She'd been trying to do better, but it didn't really seem to be working in her favor.
Meanwhile, Kou and Miki talked over the actual schematics of the things they wanted to do, when mentioned that she was doting on a caster who had the magical base abilities, Miki shook her head gently. "I wasn't thinking full helmet-build or anything, maybe just scan so she had some understanding when a fight isn't winnable. Anti-decay for the artifact, only because I don't really intend to return all of the pieces. They register as ultra-rare loot... I can't just give them all back. Besides, I figure, if the crown is put together by you, she might have an easier time channeling the magical abilities of the weapon until she can shift her abilities some," said Miki which seemed to her as a solid a plan as any. If Kou agreed, and secured his own payment, she'd begin working with a few of the shards, while handing over the crown to Kou.
