[ hm. sousei's protege? immediately, she thinks how that person might be like, before those thoughts move into other things when sousei continues his statement. elle reappearing without her memories of cerealia... yes, unharmed is the most important, but having to go through that same teary-eyed meeting again... that's a little cruel, isn't it?

what a frustrating place.

she's quiet, pensive, taking a sip of her tea (except it's a bit too hot for her, and she hides a wince). she's thankful for a lot of things here: the slight amount of relief she feels, sousei's lack of asking about her "all right" status, the fact he's even looked this much at all. ]

... That's about as strange as most things here go, I guess. But, at least... [ elle wouldn't be hurt. milla can take comfort in that, after all, because that's why she...

well, that's enough. ] I didn't know you had someone like that.

action.

[At the very least, Elle wouldn't be hurt. That truly is what's most important, and he's not surprised in the least to find that that's her conclusion. It's flimsy evidence at best, heavily circumstantial and prone to changing based on who it is who's missing--

But he's not going to throw more doubt onto the situation.

For now, when they're stuck here, they have to believe that the people who aren't are safe. Again, he lets her change the subject.]

... I am not a teacher, but nonetheless... he was insistent on it. [But even so, Sousei doesn't cave to just anyone. Soramaru....]

...He earned his place as my protege, and as his master, it is my duty to him to see to his safety. [aka not let asshole ninja kidnap him or this place poof him for no good reason.]

action.

[souperb]

[ ... what a sousei thing to say. more about duty, that unexpected yet expected protectiveness, at this point. yet, she finds she can say much the same thing about elle--elle was no student of hers (if anything, elle had... taught her something, in a way), but there was a duty milla had towards her safety that she couldn't deny. or, at least... it was something that felt like duty, responsibility.

what kind of person did that protege have to be to gain that kind of position with sousei? ]

Insistent sounds like a nice way of saying nagging until you said yes. [ hah. in a way, she's happy for him, but--

--well you know, being able to uphold that duty is really hard with magical rp jamjar settings. and she's more than aware of that. ]

It's good for you he's back, then.

action.

[deontology]

[Nag...ging.... you know, you could say that he nagged, or you could say that he infiltrated a high security prison in order to bring out valuable information that would be of worth to Sousei--

... hm well.]

Something similar, I suppose. He is very hard-headed.

[And Sousei is really, really fond of him. But nonetheless...after a moment's pause, he continues:]

Yes. But even so, if he disappears again, there will be nothing I could do. Much like the case with you or me as well.
