âI support Senju Uchiha relations.â
âHm.â Third in command, huh? Miko didnât get out too much, on her uncles orders, but she did hear word here and there, and when she did get out..
She tilted her head back now to look at his face properly, then averted her gaze. âHm. Hm. And why is that such concern? Everyoneâs fight is not my own, thank you. What is my own, is what I do and what I do things with. Or.. donât do, rather.â
"It poses a great threat to the purity of our clan. Surely we are not laying with our relatives, but laying with what once had been an enemy, clearly poses a societal taboo." He said it as if it was written in a rulebook.
It kinda was, according to the elders at least.
"You should really watch whom to trust. Do not forget what got us imprisoned between those... safe walls."
âAre you honestly on that none sense too? The purity of our clan?â She huffed at him. âKeep talking and youâll sound just like daddy. I..donât necessarily care what the elders say or try to enforce. I only have borrowed time, you know. Life should be what makes you happy, not depressed.â A small pause. She didnât feel the need to make this guy happy. Sheâd always had been a rebel, in some ways.
â..look. I only trust those who have earned it. The past is the past, and this is the now. Tomorrow everyone could die. I donât want to live with any more âwhat ifsâ than i already do.â
"Nonsense?" Akio asked and his brow raised slightly. Now he did lean down a bit, still not meeting her eye level because there only bad been one person in his life that was deserving of that kind of respect. "Listen. This isn't a our what ifs and what can's. This is about the true threat that will befall our clan of we whore ourselves out fully to the Senju, are you hearing me? Go on and kiss the ground they walk on for all I care but be assured that I'll have a front row seat, cheering it on if it turns around to bite you in your behind. I hope we are both clear on that matter?"
