[Anselm de le Poer]

-- Haku certainly seemed volatile, so it wasn't too surprising that she didn't have a straightforward response. His mind turned to the chocolate male who was clearly the ringleader of all of this--Anselm couldn't imagine serving under such a beast. At least Gabriel was systematic in his anger and seemed to follow some sort of plan. It seemed like Haku did things on impulse and barely knew what he valued more. Obviously he was viewing both the Dahlian and his cousin in a biased light--but that didn't change his opinion on the matter. He stared at her blankly when she asked him about Garnet; the suggestion almost confused him. "Hardly, I trust her just fine," he replied without hesitation. "It's the others that I'm not too sure about," he said with a soft snort. Corona, Gabriel, Garnet--all of them understood the point of having a hostage. It was for bargaining power, pure and simple. Hybrid and Samael he wasn't as sure about; they seemed more likely to do something dumb without thinking about it. He decided he had about all the information he was likely to receive--they had to act quickly (obvious) and there was at least some chance that Haku would cooperate. It was clear that she didn't want to be bothered and he could at least give her that. "Well, whatever. Do you want anything else?" he asked, feeling generous enough. Fresh blankets or pillows, more books--as long as it wasn't anything too inconvenient (or obviously anything that compromised security), he wasn't opposed to going and getting it.
