Mihawk's POV
What in the four blues?
Did Ruse just run from you?
From you?
You were her teacher, and sure you were a little...well a bit...maybe quite a large bundle of emotional stress currently, but did that woman really think you would harm her?
You were a gentleman, you would never strike a woman, no matter what she had done. It was something similar to an unspoken ruling of your pride, of your honor.
Really now Argenti, you know how to drive a man crazy. Dio es lassu.
That woman was something else.
You furrowed your brow in concentration, debating on whether to go after her or not, but deciding that you would allow her a few moments of reprieve, if she thought you were giving chase to her then she might get a crazy idea to run even further.
Ah, you were too tired for these things right now.
With a low groan of frustration you press your hand to your temple, sighing exasperatedly at the situations that have piled up in these past months.
Dealing with Ruse was one thing, but dealing with Ruse and the rest of the warlords? That was something that would be a problem for tomorrow. For now, you just wanted to rest. So with another heavy sigh, you start your way up to your home. At least you would be able to sleep for a bit while Ruse went off on her own doing god's knows what.
Hopefully the damn troublesome woman would be able to keep herself out of more trouble while on the island, it was away from people so the only thing she would or could potentially run into would be the Humandrills. Unfortunately, they knew better than to trifle with the white haired menace, having been bested by the pirate woman in her first couple of days she spent here. Ah, that was a rather amusing scene to behold.
Ruse would be fine on her own, but you on the other hand...you needed rest.
Desperately.
Sleep sounded like a fantastic idea, a few hours of rest and then you would deal with the rest of the problems that had arisen since the meeting.
Yes, that was a good idea.
And with that in mind, you continued to trek home, eagerly awaiting when you could reach your bedchambers.
It would be nice to be able to relax for once.
