"I know a 'yes' when I hear it," she said, voice low, trying not to look too miserable with it. She was supposed to be talking to someone she loved, after all.

"That actually bordered on an 'of course he would," she added.

But he did something dangerous, too, when he... took up Mizuki's offer. But he'd sent off Jackal and Bunta to do it. Was that selfish? They'd been so willing... She wondered what they would have done if Seiichi refused the help.

Excepting this recent engagement thing, Seiichi was always sweet and indulgent to her. She'd known on some level he wasn't like that with everyone, but that was just his personality. She chanced a glance back at him, seeing Renji lean down to whisper something in his king's ear. Seiichi caught her looking and smiled at her, but... he always smiled. Not much she could get out of that.

But... Bunta was right, too. He could take care of himself, and he agreed to whatever Seiichi did... though whether that was because Seiichi did it or because he actually agreed with it, she didn't yet know. Bunta was smart, and Seiichi was clever, and... and he had to at least think everything would be all right, didn't he? Mizuki hadn't asked for executions, just... human trafficking. But again, what other choice had there been?

"...I couldn't be Seiichi," she muttered, finally. "Too much thinking."
