He lowered the weapon after the arrow had hit the target dead center. His eyes were still narrowed as he looked towards Mizuki. "Sometimes yes" He spoke coldly to Mizuki's comment of him wishing the target was Mizuki. Though a few moments later he moved back into his stance again and reloaded a arrow onto the bow before taking aim and firing yet again. He never said a word if this was one of those times or not.

Of course he had reverted back if not to a worse state then what he was in before, he had lost everything in the matter of a few months after Mizuki left. Their home, the one he cared deeply for, hell he had lost the general and then half of the troops he had grown close to over the years. Neimi was right he had changed, hell he even knew he had but there was nothing to be done about it now. Though he had tried to hold everything together it was easier to just cut off emotions and be the ass he was over 3 years ago.

"You wrong" He said rather bluntly before releasing yet another arrow and reloading the weapon almost at the same time he had fired it. "I wasn't happy thinking you were dead.. " He thought about it for a moment before lowering the weapon a second. "hell I wasn't happy period.. I was when I found out that you were alive and that you were here, give or take safe aside from a shoulder wound.. " He moved again and re-positioned his weapon to fire at a different target that was a bit further away. "but as you started things change.. your right on that, everything does change for the better or worse and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it."

"your probably stupid enough to think that I should have killed you all those years back now and things would be fucking peachy." He laughed a little before firing the arrow, though this time he didn't reload it. "you might be right, then again you might be wrong." He shrugged a little. "I could have died a few years ago easily, hell you made sure that was a possibility when I was captured. But I didn't, a lot of times I think I should have. The only thing I've done is delayed the facts of the situation we're in, the West is outnumbered at least 5 to one, that's at least and most of our troops are too green to be able to stand against such odds so you might as well bump the number to about ten against one for the seasoned fighters."

He seemed to sigh heavily though it was very apparent his temper was on the verge of flaring up again. In truth he wouldn't have been happier if Mizuki never came around or never came back, he had to admit before he had any dealings with Mizuki he might have put forward a front that he was content with life but everyday he prayed for that one battle that would bring him the end he sought. To be honest he was back to those thoughts, and he knew of only a few places to get that very battle.
