"Your price is too high... I feel lost when offered such a thing. I know not where to start or end. And being in this place, this tentative place of which you have quite strongly reinforced, I am further lost as to what that means. It is safe to be below... but what you ask of me with such openness I fear my open the door to a monster I know not what to do with. It is not that adjusting to such a thing is impossible," but her frame of reference was lost and it did frighten her. She was afraid of possibly offending, and even if Miko spoke as if there was no worry of going too far... how could she be assured some similar situation would not lead to this same outcome?

The ultimatum however was too high, even if it was spoken as if it were nothing. And that she would not allow Miko to ignore. That was the responsibility she had in having accepted her devotion before. To use such light words was hiding the severity of her intentions.

"If you are intent on severing such long ties because you are not gaining quick enough rewards, than that is your choice to make. But do not hide such with ambiguous words if between us, and speak the true outcome openly. If you deny me that much in the case of your decisions falling towards such separation, I feel at leave to say that I will not hold back in making the consequences felt ten fold," they were cruel words, but she meant every word. But then she had a cruel streak in her.

Such extremes however was not her wish, she did indeed wish to make Miko happy and not longer upset and ready to throw her away. But now, when before she had felt so confident in this, she did not know how much her lord could gleam from her intentions. She wondered if she was so confused that even Miko, who she had always thought understood her, could no longer tell what was deep inside her heart. Lacking words she chose to kiss the top of Miko's hand.

All she wanted was to feel Miko's touch and feel safe again.
