inevitably

Hanako shouldn't have been surprised by the dry witticisms that rolled from Sedna's tongue. It was just was so like her and to act otherwise would have been wrong, like someone doing a bad impression. But all things considered this wasn't really what Hanako wanted to hear and she knew Azure wouldn't take too kindly to her jabs either. He just didn't have it in him to let slights like this go unpunished and sure enough she felt him bristle, his eyes snapping into thin slits as his lips parted in a snarl. Hanako pressed her paw atop of his and applied a bit of pressure in a silent appeal to just let it slide this once. Please? For her.

Fortunately, Sedna went on to explain that the mixture she'd used was indeed trustworthy, that no one was at fault for the predicament they'd found themselves in. It was a relief to know Sedna was willing to have their back, surely it would lessen the blow and cast the blame in another direction. She glanced up at Azure, wondering if it was enough to appease him and their Warlord in turn.

As for her last suggestion, Hanako knew the Archer well enough to know she was throwing in one last poke. Just because she could. She made a face, brows furrowed. As if that was an option Azure would consider, a man's...well manhood was important. Even Hanako knew that.

"Thank you Sedna. This means a lot to me." And she meant it, wholeheartedly, deep in the pit of her churning stomch. Hanako didn't have many friends but she trusted Sedna with this and all else she might need the healer for. "Should we call Sirius now? Get it over and done with?" She looked to them both, unsure it the timing was right. Or if there would ever be a good time for this. Then again the less they hid this from Sirius the better it would look.
