Saina didn't watch the island as they pulled away from it, her gaze instead focusing on the open sea ahead as the sun sank below the horizon. She didn't really notice where Urick had parked himself, so to speak, and let her mind clear as the ocean breeze played with her tied-up hair. Then Gippal began to speak, causing her to turn her head slightly to where he was speaking. She listened, facing the sea and leaning with her arms propped against the boat's railing. As Gippal talked, her gloved fingers gently traced the unsightly scar running down the side of her abdomen, her expression neutral right up till when he finished, a shadow falling over her eyes. Rather than letting the silence settle in, the red head began to talk. As she did, the pale woman remained frozen as she was, her fingertips surrounding the mark on her abdomen.
"...From a sadistive point of view, it be a nice way to torment you. Choose between your childhood friend or your summoner you swore to protect. Suppose sadistic people like him always have some sick twisted plan. And your old man is still a dumbass. I'm going to kill that.... Sick, twisted.... Monster."
Her fingers clenched down, pinching the folds of skin surrounding the offending area. Her lips parted a little. Emotion filled her and caused her to clench down harder on her own abdomen as she turned her head to stare down, focusing on the waves. She was concentrating quite a bit but managed to hear Eva when she started to speak.
"From what I gathered from Gippal and Urick is that he didn't really know who they were, he never asked for their last names...at least asked as a insane man would." Saina bit her lip. "He also seems stuck in the past, not caring for the news of the current world, as it will be 'Washed away by the cleansing power of Sin and bring the world back to simplicity and order.' Obviously he is not well, and he is obviously insane. No one can understand how..."
She stopped listening when she realized that she was gritting her teeth and gasped silently, blinking. Saina felt the urge to speak and inhaled as though she were about to, turning to look at everyone. Though it went unnoticed, people focusing on the summoner as she was wrapping up whatever she was saying. Her expression relaxed, hopefully before anyone could see, and her grip on her stomach relaxed, her hand dropping to her side. She waited until Eva was finished talking before going to her and placing a gloved hand on her back, speaking softly to her.
"Perhaps we should let them make amends alone. This doesn't really concern us, m'lady-... Eva." She corrected herself at the last part. "Shall we go find your quarters? You must be exhausted."
