Lu's face went dangerously still. For a moment she just stared at the boy, lingering somewhere between mute horror and outrage.
"Lower your voice, or kill the child. You'll wake him."
"You ungrateful wretch."
The smile she gave Hidan was nearly sunny, if not for the very dangerous glint in her eyes. If you so much as think of laying a hand on him, you will rue the day you drew breath in this world. "Excuse me, Mr. Hidan, I'm sure your disagreement with this boy is perfectly valid, and I will happily allow you to continue castigating him momentarily, but if you would just allow me to say a few words."
Her apologies delivered, Lu turned on the boy, closing on him without fear. "Itachi, or whoever you happen to be at the moment, you will listen to me." Her eyes narrowed, hand coming up to grasp his ear in the universal gesture of angry mothers everywhere. "I warned you, you ungrateful, ignorant, spoiled child. What did I say? I told you before that I would only help you if you behaved properly. But instead of approaching the situation sensibly and being willing to learn, you seem to have decided that the best course of action in response to your current situation is to make the same threat that earned you a warning to begin with. I have given you aid and I have given you clean drinking water." She made a sharp gesture to the sinks. "As you can see, such things are not widely available at the moment. All you needed to retain my aid was to keep your mouth shut. But your show of mindless bravado and casual cruelty, like a child shining light onto a line of ants simply because he can, would not even allow you to use the common sense granted to most livestock. You are a fool, and shortly will be a dead fool, if you cannot learn to control your tongue. This world is not yours. Adapt, or be left behind like a cast off of evolution. You need my son? Whatever plans you may think you have for him are worthless. He is mine. And there are others who would gladly protect him should something happen to me. You have all the grace and subtlety of a rampaging zolem, a mass murderer who must prey on the blind and stupid if he ever wishes to raise his kill count above zero. But either way, it is not my cause, or my problem. That which cannot change to suit its environment is doomed to be destroyed by it. I gave you your options, and you have chosen to disregard them. Should your regain your mind from wherever you have lost it, feel free to seek me out, I will be more than willing to help you once more. But I am not your servant." Her lips pressed into a thin line, letting him go and stepping back, very deliberately giving him her back as she walked to the door. "Good day to you, Mr. Hidan. If you have need of my aid feel free to seek it."
