Miki's eyes searched Diva's in the moments before her conversation with the young man at his side. And in those moments she caught it, a nod of agreement and a spark. Perhaps he still wasn't quite ready to face the world yet, but he was making progress in learning his own desires and asserting them at least a bit, and this was something the blonde could commend, especially given what she knew of his past. "Arigatou na." she offered him in the same way she addressed her standard form of person. She could treat him as a person whose will could be acknowledged at the very least.
Soon after, her exchange with the younger lad was taking place, and she was almost confused by him. But he seemed to understand her, at least a bit, a hand tentatively approaching the mark on her forehead before he shared with her, his meaning and he in turn came to understand hers. His words didn't initially make sense to her, but in interacting directly with him she found the gist of his meaning. And it was sad. Or maybe not that, dark instead. Having this knowledge the girl's eyes widened and she stood straighter to give acknowledgment to him as well. "That path is dark, but some deserve to face it. I'm called Miki... yoroshiku," she offered the lad an extension of her hand in a traditional way of greeting a person you may have more than one moment of interaction with. Her normal words escaped her. It couldn't be said she was happy to meet him, his existence was something sad entirely, but the idea of working with him and seeing what was made of his existence that was something she could accept. She couldn't treat this lad poorly knowing what he was, but she also accepted that he might not ever be what others would consider normal. Either way, knowing him gave her a strange sensation... not quite contentment, but like something wrong had been righted, or rather would be. All the while this interaction was a strange one to watch in Seriri's case, she'd not seen her friend meet new people before this point and wasn't exactly sure how the lass would take the child that had been rather suddenly spawned here. "Ano, I've never seen you act so nicely to a stranger before Kimi... are you feeling alright?" asked Seriri in her meddling ways. This caused the blonde lass to scoff and turn up her nose. "Kaiba said he'd be waiting for us at the barrier. You know how he is. We might as well get to it. I've a busy day ahead of me..." she said content not to discuss her supposed shift in action and mood. This only caused Seriri to laugh as she reached for her staff where it was inlaid behind the throne she sat upon. "Hai hai, come on Diva. Apparently we've work to do, and both Kimi and Nii-san are really impatient when they have things on their minds."
