At the end, it was till darker than dark. If he knew the time, it may have been branching on the edges of midnight, maybe an hour half past. The moon was aligned right in the corner of the sky, winking like the pupils of a wise owl. The stars clustered around the magnificent ball, swimming and swarming around the orb of light. Wari cast his eyes skyward and listened to Lucy speak, still completely blank. Her voice was grinding in his ears, that annoying sound. Once or twice, his shoulders twitched when her voice took a higher pitch, probably the signing of a rush of oncoming tears. Lucy managed herself well, however, finishing with nothing more than a whisper. Wari's eyes were still reflection that of the moon once she was over, head tilting back while he let the air wash over his face, soot falling clean.
"The only part of this story I don't believe is that part where King Nagi was a good man. I've never known him to be a good man. I've known him to be a slick, casual murderer like you described about your mother. That's the Nagi I know. It's no wonder he wants his daughter dead. The things you know about him aren't good for his rep. He fears you might leak important things about him out in the open." He didn't know all of that for a fact, but it was as good as a conclusion as any. When Lucy didn't retort, he continued, sliding his eyes away from the moon and to a tree instead.
"So he sends the Nagisma to tear down the village where she lives without doing it himself. He's the King and we're the pawns." No. I'm the pawn. A vein crawled to the side of his head where it sat, throbbing while he mused over that fact. King Nagi just wanted Wari to do his dirty work for him. Kill his daughter and then move on with his life. Wari leaned back, altering his head until he stared directly into her eyes.
"I hate your father."
