Tokyo was faced with contradicting stories. She was being lied to by either Haku or Firefly, and honestly, she didn't care which it was. She believed the one of the person that mattered more, of the person who had the most potential to improve her life. And was inclined to disbelieve those that angered her, which Firefly definitely had. She chose to leave? Yeah, that was likely. Made sense as a rationalization, to console oneself in the pain of being kicked out.. But didn't make it true. Physically weak as Tokyo was, and in this particular instance caring for an infant, she would typically just let this slide. Storm off in a huff, report back to her leaders of the insolence she encountered.
But some twist of fate had placed a weapon in her hand. A young, strong, loyal Dahlian. Angered at the insults thrown at the leader and his lady. She could feel the tension radiating off his form. It didn't take a lot of perception to pick up on the fact that he was ready, no.. wanted a fight? She hadn't held this sort of power over another since Champ had left her. It rushed to her head, and there was no hesitation in her voice as next she spoke simply. "Hurt her."
Slight nervousness hit her only afterward. Tokyo didn't typically regret things, but she had enough experience with life to know that actions had consequences. Most of the time she could get by dodging those consequences, but it was important to plan in advance for how to get out of something scot-free. She shouldn't have any problems in this case. This was a dirty traitor, an exile with intentions to provide information to the pack that Dahlia was warring with. If and when anyone found out.. she would only be rewarded for her loyal actions in the war effort. And besides, it wasn't like she intended to hurt Firefly herself.. She was merely supervising, encouraging. There was much less guilt in being the one to order the violence than the one enacting it. Yes. She would be fine.
