[Ashitaka's gaze upon her is severe and unblinking for a long moment before he eventually accepts her explanation with a nod.
Did he agree with it? Of course not. He finds such selfishness distasteful, especially when it does so much to destroy what could uphold peace and prosperity for many. He thinks perhaps she should doubt it, she should feel some guilt, but he cannot decide such things for her. Perhaps that was her journey here. He knows little of her own kind, but if they were given second life, maybe they were meant to do something with it - just as he had been given a renewed lease to try to purge himself of his curse.]
And I was just going to ask. [He says this in monotone.
But he truly doesn't feel he has such a thing to fear from her. Perhaps a gut instinct, but her vendetta against the king had sounded personal. There is no personal bad blood between them, nor with the rest of COST, he thinks.]
If the Regency succeed in their goals, your coup would have never come to pass. [He says it thoughtfully, once again upset that he might appreciate what they set out to do if their methods were not so atrocious.] Perhaps it is good we have you in our number, then. An experienced rebel in our ranks.
