(Last day!) "Saizo definitely has a lot of love for his liege. It's almost inspiring how dedicated he is. He'll do anything for Lord Ryoma. Aaaaaanything. You almost have to feel bad for Lord Ryoma though. Saizo's so dedicated to rules he gets stressed out. It must be uncomfortable for our liege when Saizo's tending to his physical needs."
Saizo momentarily lost his temper. He’d wanted to believe that today would be different -- that his verbal beat-down he delivered the day before would dissuade this hysterical broad and make her actually give him a GENUINE compliment for once. But now, even after all that he’d done for her, she was blowing him off. And even more than that, she was claiming that his tireless service was detrimental to his liege! Unacceptable.
His hand shot out like a viper, seizing her face and squeezing her cheeks forcefully as he glared at her like a madman. “Listen here, WOMAN,” he growled, hand shaking as he fought every urge to squeeze so hard he left bruises. “I can handle your petty insults for a LOT of things. My appearance, my oddities, my treatment of my boy. But to imply that somehow I am doing my liege a disservice simply by acting as any sane person who actually VALUES his job would? You’ve gone too far.”
He gritted his teeth, glaring at her even more. “We can’t ALL be like you. Stumbling around the world without a thought in our careless heads, fully expecting the person we’re supposed to be SERVING to bail us out all the damn time. Some of us actually learned how to be an adult. Such a shame you refuse to better yourself.”
He released her with nothing short of disgust. “I’ve wasted enough time with you. It was a fool’s errand to try to think of you as anything more than an exhausting waste of space. Out of my sight. I’m sure Lady Hinoka is worried sick about her poor, brain-damaged little PET.”
