Still here... isn't the right way to put it. [ A strange turn of his expression. ] I came back.
[ From something he wasn't supposed to. From something no one ever just came back from. ]
But it doesn't matter if this place is different. I know where my home is.
[ He had it all along, and all trust in those outside of it had done was take it away from him. Alliances, politics, mercy. Mikazuki can't find space enough within him for them. Playing those games rather than doing things in the way he was used to had done nothing but lead him down the wrong path. Isolated, dark, his back to the wall until — nothingness. Just thinking about it makes that chasm of loneliness yawn wide in him. Looking down, his voice drops. ]
So I'll destroy anything for him this time.
[ And a chance to do so seems poised to present itself — no sooner than the words leave his mouth do footsteps come pounding through the alleyway to their side, harsh whispers, tendrils of... magic. Eyes sharpening, Mikazuki's hackles raise. ]
