I was with Raijuu, Corona, King, Mars and Sunshine. After we left here we went to the scrapyard and then back and forth in the underbrush after C set off a bomb. Why?
Well... I did threaten to shoot Thorn, from Bad End, but only if he attacked us first. That was after he'd threatened to attack us already with a large metal pole, so I was worried. I wouldn't attack him first.
And I asked a genie to prevent one of your people from being able to cause anyone any harm, since Raijuu said he and Nemesis had both been killed by people from your unit. I thought it was only fair, since the chances were really good she would run into you all again. I told him he couldn't pick you or Anubis or Lavender, though--because I wanted you to be able to defend yourself, and because I know that Lavender and Anubis are very gentle people who wouldn't hurt anyone anyway.
And I shook C and yelled at him for using a bomb on all of us. That's all.
[ alright hiryuu first of all that's a lot for his brain to process, second of all ]
--- you asked a genie to what?
[ backtracking to that, mentally. he doesn't know what that even means, but if he and Lavender were made exempt then. .... of course Lucifel would be the only one who
[ Gently petting Obsidian. Her voice is soft and she can't quite maintain eye contact. ]
... I told you before, remember? That if someone attacked my precious people, then I wouldn't have a choice.
... You've killed Raijuu twice now. Someone I swore to protect.
[ THREE times. Once she doesn't know about. ]
And your unitmate killed Nemesis. They're both my friends, Loki. Cardigan is like a mother to me. And Gold is a kind boy. I don't want Avante to suffer--and they lose, often, and badly.
Raijuu said you all were playing this game seriously. So I told the genie to find a member of SensitIV, someone who wasn't peaceful like Lavender or Anubis, and not you, either, because I love you, and to make sure they couldn't hurt anyone anymore. That's all. I thought, at least more than Wild City, you'd understand where I was coming from.
[ the lengths one goes to protect the people you love. ]
I'm sorry. You probably feel betrayed. ... I've said it before, but maybe not to you, but... I'm not a good person. So... I'm sorry. But he shouldn't have done you all any harm.
[ It's the one thing she can tell herself right now that makes her feel any better.
also there may or may not have been a some info bombs in there to swallow. SORRY LOKI, DO YOUR BEST ]
he just falls quiet. for a long moment he simply watches as Hiryuu pets the dog. his eyes just focusing on her hands, petting gently through the black fur.
of course she didn't know. of course she wouldn't have wished harm on Lucifel on purpose. of course she wouldn't.
he can't hate her for it. even now, with the image of Lucifel's headless body falling heavy to the ground still burned deeply in his mind. even though she knew that she was making a play against sensitIV, she really thought that she wasn't doing any harm wasn't she?
...... I see. I get it. But isn't that a little backwards?
Don't you think it's wrong for you to punish my unit because of what I did to the man that you love, Princess?
If any of us are "playing for real", it would be me. Nya is only trying to survive, and Lucifel was only trying to protect us. Honestly..... if that dog of yours had such hard feelings he could have come and settled the score with me himself.

[ it takes her a little to calm herself down again. that wasn't at ALL the most important part of what Loki said, but it's the part that, somehow, stuck out the most to her. ]
How silly. Raijuu's his own person, you know. Just because he loves me doesn't mean I'm the only person he has loyalties or ties to.
I'm my own person, too. I made the decision to choose your unit on my own. If Raijuu bears a grudge toward you, I've no doubt he'll let you know on his own. As for me...
How should she put this so that he'll understand it? ]
... I think there's been a gross misunderstanding. I'm not angry with you, Loki; my choice wasn't an act of revenge born out of hatred. Even though you and yours have hurt so many people that are close to me so many times... I know you're not bad people. You want to protect your own, you've all proven that unquestionably, and I can't fault you all for that. I want to protect my own, too--I sent the genie because I was afraid if you all had targeted her once already, you might again, since she was alone.
...
But it's also because I understand it, I couldn't choose you to target. Even if it was going to be something nonviolent, without pain.... It's selfish of me, but I didn't want to lift my hand against you specifically, because I care about you.
