Miki was still sitting in Akashi's lap, and she too was curious as to exactly what had made Seriri take such drastic actions immediately. Though Seriri had been praised for her work, she still wasn't pleased, and Miki could tell. Beyond even that, the lad she'd introduced seemed to be broken in an extreme fashion. She claimed he couldn't speak, and if she couldn't heal him, then it was likely something that had long since healed. And strangely Akashi even asked what about this situation had changed her. Seriri gave a slight pause, choosing her words very carefully to spare the feelings of the lad she'd brought along with her. "They killed and mutilated his wife and unborn child. They were parading them through the market like a trophy..." she said softly. "To taunt a man who had no tendons and has no tongue... they brutalized him... there aren't any excuses. They had to die... I couldn't..." she paused becoming angry all over again. "No more." she said much more firmly she looked at this pair and that pair of words was almost engraved within her eyes, her body and mana.
Miki heard out what the lass had to say and frowned deeply. She'd expected problems in Atlantis given what she'd read about it before, but something like what Seriri described was exactly the sort of thing that gave her nightmares about being in this world on her own. 'Sou ka, Tsu-chan has never been able to look out for anyone before. She's normally the one being looked after. It's new for her to care for someone while actually being able to do something for them,' she directed this thought to Akashi, reflexively as she would have done if it had been Kou sitting beside her. Aloud she said something different. "Gomen, Tsu-chan. I figured you needed to see what people were capable of yourself. I didn't think that you'd have to come across something so outlandish," Miki said calmly. Truly she'd expected the girl to see her Kingdom without rose colored glasses but not to have witnessed something so graphic. But perhaps this was a good shock for the sheltered lass. "Iie, it isn't your fault. You told me I shouldn't have left things as they were, I didn't know people could be like that... I don't know why anyone would choose to be like that," she murmured. Her faith in people to make good decisions was all but lost. The battered man hadn't looked at anyone, he was meek. Miki hadn't seen someone so legitimately helpless looking in a long time, even she wished to make sure this man didn't have to suffer any more. Still the lass hadn't enjoyed the killing of the people she'd murdered on behalf of the man at her side, this meant she had to be willing to take other method into her arsenal to get this Kingdom back under her control.
