[ Akua's hand moved, once the towering figure manifested. As she was drug out from Akua's reached, she reached out, just for a moment, to drag a finger against her chin, fond, almost, certainly not afraid of the threat.
There was a smile on her face, and Misa might think it demeaning, until she spoke. ]
Oh, Dear heart, I do hope you will. Only one other person has... captured my heart, so.
[ Captured it, kept it, cultivated it. Akua could only think in that moment of Catherine, the beat of crow's wings behind her, and an army like Calernia had never seen behind her. The flash of light against her mirror shard showed it, a woman with an eyepatch, tanned skin, and sharp, harsh features. No beauty compared to Akua, but it's clear from the way she said it, the fondness she said at being killed, that such a person was desired by the woman -- deeply so.
She stepped back, and looked the creature up and down, not willing to fight this thing that she didn't know, but oh wasn't it glorious, in the danger it proposed. ]
It seems you dance with those whom would protect you, Misa.
Perhaps next time, you will find use of your guard, and I will find the fight more dangerous.
[ It's said with a laugh, high and delighted. Iron sharpens iron, after all. What was the point of fighting if she would always dominate them? No, Akua wanted a challenge, to be challenged and challenge others, all in one. ]
