[It was still frustrating that she was part of the reason why he got the Jagan. It made her wonder just how terrible it was. From what she could gather, it was one of the most painful surgeries in all of demon world. While it made him stronger in a way, it also made her wonder just how much he had to suffer.]
...I'm glad you made it through. And that I got to see you again.
[ Hiei isn't quite sure what to say to that. In a way, he wishes they hadn't met face to face like this - it was maybe better that she had no idea who he was, or what he'd become with time and suffering. Neither of them can change the circumstances that they were born in to, and he had done his best to make sure that her circumstances, though with a stumbling point or two, were better than his own.
It was worth it, every bit of suffering and struggle that he had gone through in the meantime.
Hiei won't speak to the fact that he doesn't find himself good enough for her praise, or any of this, simply contenting himself with: ]
If you can live peacefully in the human world.. it was worth it.
[From the first moment she met him, she had a feeling she knew who he was. There was a sense of familiarity that she couldn't place her finger on at that moment. It was only a matter of time before she knew who he was. Still, even when he was up in the tree and placing distance between them, she couldn't help but smile.
While he didn't say it out loud, at least he was willing to admit that they were siblings.]
....What about yourself? Do you find yourself happy in demon world?
It's fine. [ Hiei doesn't entertain things like happy if only because he isn't really sure he's ever felt it, and beyond that... if he doesn't entertain it, it also can't go away.
For a demon that is usually waiting for the other shoe to drop when he finds some semblance of contentment, happiness was a step too far for now. ]
Mukuro entertains herself by training against me and I don't find myself idle for too long.
[That wasn't quite the answer she wanted. Although, she wondered if she should settle for that. People have been telling her to be more selfish and say what she wanted to. However, there was also that risk of Hiei distancing himself once more should she be too forward.
With a sigh, she shook her head. She'll have to take that risk.]
[ What a terrible question. Hiei knows that there is literally nothing about what he can say about happiness, his own happiness, that Yukina will like. His happiness has never been his priority, when it came down to it. He preferred to prioritize Yukina, Mukuro... literally anyone other than himself, when it came down to it.
The pause before he even tries to answer is no doubt telling, red eyes darting around them to land on literally anything other than Yukina. ]
That isn't really important. I am alive, and well, which is more than enough.
[Was this really the most he could say? She supposed so, he was always someone who tried to avoid the subject whenever possible. This was as good as it gets. It was already a miracle he admitted to him being her brother without saying anything.
Taking a sigh and relaxing her shoulders, she just had to admit his answer.]
And that you can come to the human world should you ever want to visit us.
[ In his own way, Hiei wishes that she wouldn’t be so intent on this. On learning who he was and making sure that he was around enough in equal measure. He is all too aware of how quickly he can be here and gone in the demon world, particularly in the circles he’s involved in now.
Demons were not delicate in anything, particularly against those they considered rivals.
Politically or otherwise.
He bites down on something more dower that lingers n his mind, before simply nodding. No need to have Yukina worrying about the fact he can possibly die day in and day out. ]
