She huffed a sigh. You'd think she would be used to being told what to do now by gruff males, but it still rankled her. "Bossy, aren't you?" Makara said. "I will go, on my own time. It's just a bell that cannot be unrung, and I imagine they'll keep me for a while." Whether I want to be kept or not. It would be duty, too, that would tie her to the Armada. She was old enough to reconcile with that and know it for what it was. She'd always been a free spirit, bound by no one's whims but her own, and it would be a shift to put all of that aside.
"No, I don't think it's worth dying for, you're right in that regard," she added idly. "But I could just as easily die on my long walk home. We never know when death is coming for us - it simply does, whether we like it or not. Whether we are with family or not. I could say the same to you - go, be with your family, or whoever is waiting, and would you listen? Obediently, like you seem to expect me to?" She quirked a brow at him, even as a strange sinking feeling filled her chest: she sounded an awful lot like her mother. Maybe everyone turned into their parents eventually, and she supposed of the two she would rather be Hanako.
