He didn't seem phased at all by the sudden slap, he saw it coming really, Mizuki was always one to strike first when he was angry. "Damn it I know it's not about me!, If it were it'd be easy be damned with my life it's worthless. The only thing I have to do is keep the troops motivated and to feed them whatever lines they need to know they can over look the odds."

He watched Mizuki, what did he care what had brought him to care about this person he needed to find it again and he knew it but that was easier said then done. "Till the other day I didn't have that option now did i?! I couldn't just think your alive and pray you'd be back before the East decided to track us down and destroy the last safe place we have in these lands."

He growled a little with his words before moving to walk away from Mizuki a few steps. "you've been gone a year, did your really think I would think your still alive? Hell i had no idea of how or where to even start looking to find out if you were or not. So the idea that you could help wasn't a option.. I needed to rely on what we had here." He spoke the truth at the least even if it was a little bit of a cold one. What else could he do, to say Mizuki would return was always on his mind, but after a while the thoughts had to go away they were causing him to be distracted and that was the last time he needed.
