Scoffing gently, Batbayar crossed his arms as they came to the stream, surveying the area around them thoughtfully. âAs long as you do not intend to pose a threat to my fiancĂŠe â to cause her harmâŚThen that is fine. We shall be friends.â
He offered Hanae a smile in turn, the warmth not quite meeting his eyes this time. âYou are one of our own, and we do intend to bring you back to the fold, but I will not stand by if I think that you or your Lady will be of trouble to Jaliqai.â Especially given the threat that her own uncle posed.
Batbayar didnât want there to be more than one snake in the fold. And besidesâŚit would be a shame if he had to get rid of Hanae.
Hanae listened to Batbayar as he spoke, the stream trickling quietly in the background as he did so. The first of many warnings from those of Jaliqaiâs tribe she presumed. Through the thinned sole of her slippers she felt a rock underfoot.
â That is more than fair and I can assure you that neither of us have ill intentions. â Hanae replied earnestly. â Aika would never harm those she loves nor would I. â To a fault, in Aikaâs case.
The handmaiden had sworn to herself, however, that should being apart from the crag people prove as a overwhelmingly safer alternative she would do whatever it took to extricate herself and Aika. After breaking free from Manami they would never be made to suffer anything terribly unfavorable to themselves again.
Perhaps that was the truth -- but did Jaliqai qualify as someone that Hanae loved? More likely it would always be Aika who she sided with, whether it was to his fiancĂŠeâs detriment or not. Still, for the time being he would take her word for it.
Nodding, the hunter reached out to clap a hand against Hanaeâs shoulder, though more gently than he might have done to Jaliqai.Â
âGood. Letâs set those traps. No doubt those two wonât be cooking food when we get back.â
