| - Previous: Graveyard of a Madman Part 33 Kiria: Tell Migoto I wish to speak with her, immediately. Man: What?! No one sees Lady Migoto! Now get off our ship or I'll-- Sion: Lady Kiria, what an honor it is to make your acquaintance. I am Sion Moir, Lady Migoto's assistant. [He glanced at the men, and they quickly went back to their work.] Please, right this way. [Bowed and motioned for her to come with.] Migoto: What is it? [She said in a stern voice, as she was rarely disturbed at this hour of the night.] Sion: Lady Kiria wishes an audience with my mistress. Migoto: Show her in. Migoto: Kiria, this is quite unexpected. Kiria: I know. You look well, Migoto. We didn't get a chance to talk when we last met. Migoto: That is true, we did not. Please, sit. Migoto: But this is not why you have come to see me tonight, is it? [Pouring them both a cup, and adding in the sugar and honey.] Kiria: No, it's not. [Took the teacup as it was handed to her.] I'm here to ask why our brother is fighting a battle against impossible odds, and you have not shown a whisker since I last saw you. You have over two hundred men on his vessel and you are doing nothing. What exactly are you waiting for, an invitation? Migoto: Yes. Kiria: What do you mean, yes? Rinji could die out there! Migoto: Rinji told me, if I wanted to talk to him, that I could come and see him. I have yet to come talk to him. Thus, I have not been invited into the fray. He is stronger than any of us, and he has shown his prowess on the battlefield. Kiria: After how you treated him the other day, I'm surprised he even afforded you that! Kiria: What gives you the right to tell him who he can and can't bring to Nekoshima! If you would have tried that crap on me, I would have taken a swing at you! Migoto: [Quick to put her tea aside and stood up just as Kiria did in that moment.] And what is stopping you!? Why not take one now, if that will make you feel better!? Kiria: Because I'm not here for me! I'm here for Rinji! And if he dies because of you, you better believe I'll be back here, and I won't be so nice! Migoto: If Rinji told you to come down here and bark at me like a dog, then you can tell him-- Kiria: I came here because I believe that your passive stance is cowardly! Rinji didn't send me here. He didn't need to send me here! I know you have more than enough to help him in his time of need, and if you're too much of a scaredy cat, then don't come crying to us when the Marines sink your silly little boat! Migoto: Oh believe me, I won't! Kiria: Out of my way you miserable wretch! [Her claws sliced his pistol as she walked past him and out the door.] Sion: ...Huh... --- Lee: So where are you and your band headed after all of this? Thoosa: Good question. Not really sure. Why? Did you want to come with us? Lee: Hmm. I was thinking about it, but at the same time, I don't think I can. Thoosa: Oh, no? Lee: Well, you see, I kind of owe my crew a lot. After what I did back in Fringe, it took a lot of faith to keep me in their crew. After something like that, I don't know if I could even ask to leave them. Thoosa: Yeah, I can see that, even with one eye. [She pulled down the bottom of her eye and stuck her tongue out at him.] Lee: Hmm, raspberries don't really work with one eye. Thoosa: Oh. [Went back to playing with her hair.] If you want, I can ask Rinji for you. I'd really like a nice big... helping hand on the ship. [Big smile.] Lee: Hehehe, if you want to, I can't stop you from asking, not that I would want to stop you. Thoosa: Nor could you. To be honest, I've never had a boyfriend. Lee: Oh, really? [Looked at her with accusing eyes.] Thoosa: No, really, I've just had meaningless sex after meaningless sex. I guess you'd come closest to being a boyfriend. You wanna get married? Lee: Nah, I will go another round, though, if you're not too tired. Thoosa: Hurhurhurhurhurhurhura! Whatever, you're not going to win! Lee: Shit... We need to get dressed!
