Hayami waited patiently as Argyos spoke up. She was prepared to bow to him out of the respect that his station demanded but she faltered. He pressed his finger to his lips so quickly she would have missed it if she had blinked. He also introduced himself as Akemi and it only puzzled her further. It was evident she was the only one here who knew of his status and she realized that perhaps it was best that he kept his identity a secret since these two strangers could be anyone. It was obvious Kozakura was unstable, but what of the kitsune?
Hayami was getting increasingly uncomfortable with the situation that she found herself in. Kozakura was rude and loud and seemed to have quite the hot temper. She felt sympathy for Atomu as the girl denied his very existence. Then she went on to imply that Hayami must be some kind of slave and that whoever owned the palace was out of place for having servants. She felt ruffled by the impudent girl and shook her head. "You are mistaken. I am no slave, and you should show more respect since you are in the lands of those very people you seem all too willing to attack." Her words had more meaning in them as Kozakura had no idea she was disrespecting the crown prince of that palace. They were also cold and had an edge to them. They were firm and it was the loudest she had spoken so far.
Atomu spoke up and he had a valid point. Questions would come to light with the new markings. Hayami would have to inspect her body more closely, but it seemed as if most of her markings were covered by her kimono and she was grateful for that. Argyos on the other had had markings more prominent and it made her stomach churn over to think what those in the palace might say in regards to him.
"I do not think it will be so easy Atomu-san." She had attached the suffix as a quick sign of respect in an attempt to add some friendly element to the conversation. Kozakura did not seem at all abashed by treating everyone as rude as she did. Hayami believed Atomu at least deserved a little respect since he was trying so hard to mediate with this impossible girl. "Magic is not easily undone." Part of her healer training was also in the depths of magic. The only explanation for what happened to them could be explained by magic and even now she wasn't sure what kind of magic it was. This particular incident was alien to her and she had no understanding of it.
