EMPEROR.

        Oh — suddenly not on the ground! Oh! Okay! “Zanza’s home is really nice. Even if Misi still gets lost a whole lot. Misi likes the hallways.” 

  "I am glad you like it, don't worry you will learn your way around eventually." If not then he could always ask around! "The hallways? Out of everything? Expected to hear something about the food.~"

        “Zanza!!" Look at that happy face. "Zaaaaaanza!!”

 And the old dragon will merely scoop up the boy and grin. "Hello, Misi.~"

        He’s mentally blocked out the image of Zanza killing that lady. Coping tactics for the win.

  ⇢⇢⇢▌✘✘✘▐ Misi had seen people die before, he’d seen people get killed.. much like that woman had just been killed. Most people didn’t remember things from their infancy or toddler years, but Misi’s memory was clear as crystal — about all things, not just his past. He always remembered things. He remembered how the slavers had treated him and the others. His mother thought he’d forgotten about it in an amnesiac way, but he hadn’t. He didn’t want her to know he still had nightmares about it. The boy’s gaze flickered back and forth between Zanza and the woman. He reached up and tugged at a strand of his hair, he looked to the ground. “If she did something bad, it’s only natural.” It was a phrase he’d been force fed for years. If they did something bad, of course punishment was in order. It was normal. Natural. Logical. “Misi is sorry he saw.”

╯-{♕}-╰ If Zanza was made aware of Misi's past it would be met with both rage and sorrow, no one should have to go through such a horrid thing. "She was fighting for her home, there is nothing bad about that aside from her course of action." But in the end he was just the same as was every soldier and ruler, they all took lives for their homes or tried to in this case. "There is no need to apologize, this isn't your fault." Hesitant steps were taken towards the young boy, almost as if to allow his guilt to lessen and give Misi time to move away if he wished. "I am sorry."

                             ’ oh, such a shame… ' 

╯-{♕}-╰  He turned and crossed his arms, finally gazing at the woman with disinterested eyes. "I did not expect them to follow me so soon, no matter." While the other turned away, Zanza kept his gaze locked on her body. "Why they would send children I will never understand." For a moment Zanza swore he saw his dead daughters in the corpses place. "I apologize for the sight." 

        It was Misi’s first time coming here, to where Zanza lived. He’d been having fun, mostly; playing with hid children. They were fun, but now they were playing a hide and seek sort of game and Misi was ‘it’. And for the life of him, he couldn’t find anybody!! He’d even managed to get himself lost, and the last thing he’d expected to see upon turning a corner was… that. He stood, bare feet padding slowly to a stop, eyes wide. “Z-.. Zanza?”

╯-{♕}-╰ Fear was a constant in the old emperor's life but never of this magnitude. His children knew of the things their father must do for the kingdom but Misi---the small child he had come to consider as his own son, what would he say? Zanza slowly set the dead woman gently on the ground and turned. He would not cower, he would face this problem head on. "I apologize for this, I had not counted on you finding me ending the life of another." An assassin.

                      there is a curious look on the Dragon’s face as she observes                     the odd situation with a blank expression. There is no sense                     of guilt or disgust when she sees the brutal execution performed,                     finding herself quite entertained by it, in fact. The screaming was a                     bit annoying, however.

╯-{♕}-╰ The woman's presence does no receive a negative reaction from the old dragon and he does not look at her when he speaks next, hoping that his thick accent would be understood. "Assassin." It was saddening really, that opposing kingdoms would send another out onto this plane just to kill him. He let go of the woman's corpse and placed it gently upon the ground. "I'll have to bring her home." And send her body back to the enemy kingdom.
