[ There's a certain sort of warmth, or something close to it that she feels at Mika's words concerning his need for her. It's nice to think that he still needs her- still wants her around and she can't help the smile that tugs at her lips, glancing away as if to hide such a thing. She turned him into the very thing he hates, against his will for that matter yet he still needed her around? Still wanted to have her presence in his life? It's... sweet, though the sentiment feels strange to her.

His explanation, however, caused those crimson red eyes of hers flick their gaze back over to him. So it was Yuu's blood he drank. Somehow, she's not all that surprised given his overwhelming determination to find and protect him at whatever the cost. If there was anyone Mika would please, regardless of consequences to himself, it would be Yuu. ]

So you'll listen to him but not to me? You really are difficult, aren't you?

[ Her words are meant to tease though the truth isn't all that far from them and she knows he knows that. But she understands his desire to be with Yuu, to protect him and never let him out of his sight. She felt the same regarding her brother once upon a time and she's yet to actually find him after all these years...

...how lucky for Mika to still have his family with him.

Those thoughts are pushed away for the moment, not needed what with red confetti stuck to her fingers and lips and having found the blond again. Roughly, the back of her hand wiped across her mouth in an attempt to rid herself of the bloody confetti that had caused her temper to flare in the first place. ]

So he's here with you then. You're both safe?
