[For a brief moment, the only thing in view is the lower-half of Tyki's face, and a cigarette between his lips. SEE: Icon. The cigarette bobs as he speaks.] Do spare me the comments telling me that it serves me right. The most of us aren't in grade school anymore, after all.

Yeah, that's right, Hino Rei, because she is a) sick, b) has a migraine, and c) really, Adstring, you kill the one girl who keeps this dude sane? Really? Dammit, people.]
She's going to come back, Tyki.
[It's strictly neutral, but there's the slightest hint of sadness in her eyes. It's a genuine pain. Death hurts. All death hurts.
And while she doesn't like Tyki -- and considers him one of the biggest threats in Adstringendum -- she knows he loves Rhode, very much. And that means her loss hurts.
She took satisfaction in it once. She won't ever again.]

Ah, ah, ah~♪ I specifically recall telling you lot to spare me the comments serving me right. That extends to comments that turn my words against me.
[His tone changes to something like a parent would use when tucking their child to bed; except Tyki somehow manages to make it sound condescending at the same time.] Come now, Lady Rei. You should take more care of yourself and sleep.

[She relaxes, though, the slightest iota. Lucifer. Fine. That was all well and good by her. He's done nothing but make Rei's life miserable since he came to Adstringendum.]

Sleep. Hino Rei.

For now, all you get is a cheek twitch as she quite literally bites her tongue.]
Concern noted, Tyki Mikk.
[And then, quietly:]
She needs you to be alive when she comes back.
[Because that's the hardest part.]

I don't plan on killing him. What would be the point?

But Allen told her to watch her tongue.
So this is Hino Rei exhaling slowly.]
Doesn't change the fact that he can still kill you.

You know what he's capable of, Tyki.
[Quietly.
She's on dangerous ground and she knows it.]

I have an Ace up my sleeve.

You have every right to be upset and angry with him for what he did.
But don't give him the satisfaction of tearing you apart.

[Because Joyd will tear him apart.]
Come now, I'm only going to talk to him. [/sarcasm]
