[b][h3]Masako Imagawa[/h3][/b] While Shadowrender offered an explanation, Masako wasn't entirely convinced. Could there have really been such an overwhelming mass of Negari that nobody but Shadowrender here had to to deal with, or even had noticed? She had to admit she didn't know the ins and outs of Negari perfectly just yet, but considering they were rabid monsters, such a concentrated attack with little evidence other than one disheveled Magical Girl seemed odd to her. Masako's suspicions were further raised by the fact that the little girl, Hummingbird, also expressed doubts as to the truth of her story. Whatever that thing was she held in her hands, it seemed to give her some insight as to what was wrong with Shadowrender.

[color=8dc73f][b]"I certainly hope you're not letting your foolish pride cloud your judgement. Lives depend on the speedy extermination of Negari, and you'll be responsible if something goes unchecked because of you."[/b][/color] Lutin was being brutally blunt right now. Masako only offered a sheepish grin in response; she hadn't intended to press the issue so forcefully, and she could only hope Lutin hadn't just offended the girl herself. The irony of it was not lost on Masako, but one look at Lutin told her she seemed convinced she was doing the right thing. [@VitaVitaAR] [@NightinGem]
