Ruro says, "His name is a hint as to his nature, He likely would have gone regardless."


Takeda Mangetsu says, "A selfish fool. Now, he left his family without a father. His colony without a precious asset. His friends, without someone they care about."

Takeda Mangetsu says, "Nothing was achieved from this. His decision only caused pain and suffering to all involved."
Ruro nods once, agreeing with the statement enough, Damn-it Istvan why didn't you just retire and become a butler.

She then lets out another sigh and further slumps into the comfort that is benchsitting - Even if she's actually on Mangetsu's shoulder. She folds up her wings and closes her eyes.

"Sorry for not being on your side when you needed me in Ardent, I realized afterward that was why I was so messed up. Not the deaths of people I barely know...I felt like I betrayed you when you needed me to agree with you. I know I said it already but...That wasn't a time and place we could talk about."

Mangetsu leans with his head closer to Ruro. Demonstrations of affection are rare coming from him, and it is hard to properly engage in physical contact with such a small creature. A hug won't do, so this discreet gesture will have to.

Though he does not feel like saying any words on the matter. Words are what always get him in trouble, it got him somewhat paranoid in that aspect ever since arriving in Agartha. Silently questioning his methods, his fingers move up and down against his biceps, always demonstrating signs of how disturbed he is.

Ruro doesn't say anything more on the subject, Just sharing the platonically affectionate moment and comforting him. Just like she had done since they met, and would do until one of them died. It was just the kind of Fae she was. She lacked the years and power of some of the Fae in this land, but her value couldn't be denied to her. She may not be humble, but her ego wasn't entirely unfounded. She had already helped a great deal of people and eased a lot of pain in her limited time here.

She let out some soothing holy energy, Immersing both of them in the warm glow. And began to hum quietly. The wounds weren't physical and so there was little her healing could do to help practically- but it helped her feel better in times of stress regardless. She was her happiest when healing others in the end.
