Kudret's words gave Mizuki a slightly uncomfortable feeling. Rikazu had...left her side? Even though that man could come back? He needed an outlet for his emotions? What did that even mean? And why was it...that the thought of him leaving made her chest tighten so? It didn't make sense, she hated--...no, there was a different feeling there now, a feeling attached to the word she kept finding herself uttering, 'daddy'. Rikazu hadn't denied it when she called him that...or had that just been a dream, too? She didn't know anymore, nothing made sense. "Confused...afraid..." she finally responded to Kudret. "My head...is pounding, and my body feels...so heavy..." As she said that, she let herself fall backwards again. Then another thought crossed her mind as she looked across the room again. "Kuja...isn't here either..?" She could feel her panic returning at that. Rikazu leaving her side was one thing, but Kuja too? There had to be something wrong for them both to leave her. Was what she'd seen not a dream after all, and was Rikazu actually hurt? "I should...go find them..." Despite saying that, Mizuki wasn't able to move an inch. Ayanami had teleported himself and Kuja up to one of the cliffsides, though close enough to keep an eye on the girl below, as well as the escaped battle slaves. The teleportation felt strange to Kuja, different from what he was used to; it was a portal of darkness that they simply walked into, bringing them to the cliffside in a mere moment. Kuja closely observed the situation below; despite Ayanami's words, the girl wasn't moving an inch, she just stood frozen in place. The group she was facing, however, had noticed the young girl and some of them were moving towards her. Most of them were holding weapons, ones that they could activate with their Zaiphon at any moment to attack the girl; no doubt they'd realized she was part of the Barsburg military. Said attacks soon started, though none of them seemed to harm the girl despite being direct hits. Kuja looked over to Ayanami, his confusion only growing when a small amount of blood trickled down from the man's mouth. "You protected her?" Kuja's eyes were narrowed; the man hadn't moved from the cliffside either. A small wave with his hand made the blood disappear from Ayanami's mouth, his voice cold as he spoke. "Of course. It would be a problem if she died already."
