[ Even if she had meant to come off as teasing, there was no denying the truth that resided within what she'd said. It wasn't something that Mikaela himself could deny, as the one other person who had a higher value than anyone really was nobody else other than Yuu. Other people came after, which would stand to reason to why not even Krul had been able to convince him to drink blood and accept what he was.
For years, he'd been told his life would be made much easier if he just gave in and each time he would resist with the words saying he didn't want to become a monster before he was able to reunite with Yuu. It had been impossibly painful but he'd been driven by pure stubborn will to not give in, though he'd come SO painfully close a couple of times that it had scared him. How his body had been taken over with instinct and the desire to drink human blood to the point of physically hurting him, and he never wanted to go through something like that again. ]
...I suppose I am.
[ It's somewhat of a simple admittance but who is he to shy from that truth, mutely watching her as she attempted to fully get rid of the confetti that had caused her ire to start with.
Not the best impression he would have wished for her to have to this place. Verens was undeniably not the worst place they could end up, the worst being the backlash from their emotional effects and the little-known arehtei that seemed to run this land or something to that effect. That was all something he figured he would have to explain to her in time once they could sit down; he did owe her that much. ]
Yeah. We haven't had any problems since his arrival. He adjusted quite well.
[ Which was no surprise to anyone. Yuu was the kind of person who adapted well to his surroundings and rolled with it, especially since he'd arrived here in chains and hadn't really figured out much of the emotional aspect here. Well, he'd tried to explain it some but part of it had likely gone over his head so he couldn't exactly be sure of how much of it'd sunk in.
It was with his gaze on her that he glimpsed a small spot she hadn't gotten with her hand before, hesitating for just a second before moving to kneel down and reaching a hand up to carefully wipe away the last little bit of bloody confetti that'd been left behind. ]

...Are you going to be alright now, Krul?
