looked to the boy with dull amethyst eyes “What about me?” his voice was gentle as he spoke “I did not start those damned thing, I followed orders...” he pointed to a bookshelf filled with books on different herbs and reports on the experiments done “I never done experiments on another Tengu low born or otherwise” his voice though calm where slightly heated “And those experiments I did do was to better my sons health” As his collar was grabbed he put up no fight against it

“That might be but these are our traditions...” he sighed for a moment “This is the tribe of the moon and though we still follow some of the race's laws many of ours are different” his voice was quiet as he spoke “Even if you were to kill the whole race, it would not remove what she was... and if anything she would fear you for comiting mass genocide” his eyes went to toshi who had her arms holding onto her top as if she was afraid, he felt pity for the girl being drawn into a world she didn't understand

Removing his sword from his side he dropped it, his hands remained at his side his hands facing towards nobuo his eyes closing almost as if he was willing to accept this fate, if it made him happy “The two children in the other room...” his voice was warm “they are experiments as you likely can tell, but...” he took a deep breath “I care for them like my flesh and blood... Take care of them for me” his voice was warm and caring, he new to the other elders the two where more a failure than a success and it was only because he said he would care for them that the still existed
