[ The hows and whys concerning their arrival here were of no importance to her so long as they were out of sight from the humans and vampires. She had done so much - given up so much - to ensure their safety when she took them in under her protection within the vampire city and to think that meddling thorns in her side had caused everything to come undone... it's no wonder she harbors such anger within her small frame. ]

I see. [ She turned after and glanced to her hand, the stubborn red confetti still stuck to the tips of fingers. ] Then I suppose you don't need me, do you?

[ It was a trick question almost considering Krul was never one to openly admit much to anyone. Crumbs here and there as though feeding pigeons in a park, it was typically the extent of what she gave most.

But she smiled soon after, eyes closed and an almost soft laugh deep within the back of her throat. There was something different about Mika now that she had properly seen him. Something she had noticed back in Nagoya but hadn't a chance to really mention with the chaos that had gone on due to the humans and their lust for power and attempts to harness the power of God. ]

[ At that, she turned to face him again, her face soft yet amused and she couldn't help the grin that tugged at the corners of her lips. ]

You drank human blood.
