IJWIJFIOWJFIOW-- DASHA!?? They lunged to try to stop her only to be pushed back, and would have followed her right out the door regardless but--
Nik... did not know if they had ever been more grateful for Mia, holy shit. She moved a lot faster than they did and as much of a beating as Nik could take was probably gonna be a better wall in this case anyway.
After a fraction of a second's relief, though, they spouted-- even as Mia was still finishing her 'move me' challenge-- "Dash what? What, what is it, what did I even say!?" She knew the worst of this already. "I quit my dream job to do this, to keep a closer eye on the little shit and try--" "You what??" "--to make him a decent non-dangerous human being faster and I'm doing it, what are you pissed about???"
While Nik was trying to wrap their head around what even set Dasha off, Sera bit her lip. She... did not know that was why Nik stopped being a Gym Leader. And she didn't know whether to feel touched or insulted. Were her efforts alone not good enough? Was this not something she should have been told?? Ugh...

Dasha's hand had been at the door, jerking it and twisting it. The concept that the two locks above needed to be un-locked didn't even register immediately. As Mia put herself right up in front of it, though, she would receive a hard swiping-punch to her ribs. You really think you can move me? Blue eyes shot up dangerously again to purple ones. "Get out of my way," Dasha snarled back. Her voice was shaking even then, not quite breaking but threatening to.
She didn't register that Nik was speaking until more than three words in. However, as she did, her gaze snapped back to them. Both hands reached forward seizing Nik by the shoulders. If they registered anything passed how fiercely she was gripping, they might notice just how fiercely she was shaking as if almost trying to steady herself. Leaning forward, right up by their ear, she started speaking again. "I've tolerated this for you, but I can't deal with it right now. That woman cut my face at the Gala and your response is to defend everyone here? I do not want to become a dirty cop in any of this."
She let go, recoiling a little and wrapping both arms around herself. "I have a chance to go home," she spoke suddenly, still hushed. "If everything works out, I can go home and fight for home." Her eyes burned, and she scowled hard. "I can protect my people. Interpol will let me. But I can't and won't mess that up by-" She was crying and as much as she wanted to punch Mia again for being there, she just… stood there hands balled into fists.
From where he was, Orion couldn't quite hear exactly what Dasha was saying- certainly not the first part that had only been whispered to Nik and maybe Mia if she'd been straining to hear- but even the last was quiet, with only a few inflections such as 'home' and 'my people' catching his ears. Yellow eyes flickered from Jazz to Marcie and then back to the scene again.

Yumi: Mia flinched at the punch but remained at the door unsure what to say. That woman cut my face at the Gala. Nik's lips pursed tight. They were.. definitely having a word with Marcie later in private. But not now. They had to stand firm right now. As Dasha spoke of home, Nik's stomach twisted. As much as they'd still refer to Era as "home" out of habit when talking about it, when they just heard the word on its own their mind went to Sinclair, to Mia and Orion, to their old and current residences here. And the thought of Dasha jumping back into that mess of a broken country was... They sighed slowly. "And what about us...?" they asked, just as quiet. "What about me? Alex might go with you, but what about Jakob and Lexi? I know Era needs help more and I've thought of Stormy on the battlefield every day since I got back." ... Welp. Hopefully at least Orion didn't hear that at this volume but Mia might feel slightly awkward. Oh well?? ... Honestly Mia was used to emotional bullshit by now and hadn't left yet, so focusing on Dasha was their best bet anyway; they knew they could deal with anything else easily enough. "I... kind of offered to stay and fight for her when I was there a few months back. She knew as well as I'm sure you do I'd be more liability than help and she's right and that kills me." No, getting cut in half on a battlefield would kill you~ BRAIN COULD YOU NOT RIGHT NOW? That morbidity did nothing to help hold back the tears forming. "Don't think for a second I don't get those feelings." Even if Nik's came more from personal guilt than patriotism... "But there are problems here even if they're not war level. There are people here who we can help protect. Can you--" ... Oh??? That thought had started out of Nik's mouth before they even fully processed it but holy shit yeah wow?? "Can you imagine if Niso didn't just become harmless but actively Good? ..Can you imagine sending him, an immortal soldier, to help deal with threats? Like Dash we can't change that his power exists now--" okay so Celebi was allegedly a thing and Dialga might also have that ability but Nik did not want to get more Legends involved in this (wrote his writer aware of a certain Starry, cackling) or fuck with time travel ha...-- "but I think on some level you have to know reforming him is the best thing we can do about it." There was almost a challenge in those words, a 'try to tell me I'm wrong'. Deflating, Nik sighed. Their weight shifted to one foot, and they rubbed their neck. "....And honestly, if they fire you what's even the problem.. Just go back as a civilian without their restrictions. With your skills I'm sure Storm and O--.. other-Orion would take you back with open arms." There was admittedly a tinge of bitterness to those words both in knowing she could be of use where Nik couldn't and in knowing she'd gladly run off to throw her life away but... Not much to be done, was there.

Words. Horrible words. Threatened at the edge of Dasha's lips. What about you? What about Jakob or Lexi? She threw these thoughts back at Nik through her gaze. So long as they were safe and away from harm, they were fine. Even if it meant leaving them, it was for her country. For her people. For everyone she knew beyond the family, who had died or were otherwise still fighting.
But of course General Ackman was brought up, though, and Dasha's lips pressed together hard. Arin. Dasha had her own words for her in all this. Her hands tightened a little. They'd have a damn conversation when she got bac-
Problems here. People to protect here. I don't want to protect people here. No, even if she did. Even if she saved countless lives and did countless things- even if she had made associates and friends here… It wasn't why she joined Interpol. It wasn't why she'd worked so hard.
Dasha balked immediately at Nik's words right after. nO? She still did not believe this. She still refused to believe this. She wasn't doing this because she thought it was the right thing, and it was so obvious on her face. This had always been for Nik- because of Nik. For no one else did she not just fucking tie Niso up and burn him at the stake till he stopped regenerating.
The last statements, however, had her breathing in sharply. "My people are all of Era," she answered loudly. "Nobles, rebels, those caught in between. They are all my people. I joined Interpol to make them STOP bleeding each other DRY. To find a way for both sides to make peace." Her arms were vibrating. A bright red had flooded her features. "I have no intention of joining Arin and the prince." Had she not explained this before? That she had joined specifically Interpol because it was an outside organization? Without their support, she'd be choosing a side, and she had no intention of doing so.

Sera... didn't even know what to think, let alone what to do. At some point in the twin exchange, she just moved back to the couch to sit down, closer to Jasna and Orion than Jazz for obvious reasons.
Jasna had long since stopped chewing her toys and now clutched them tightly, watching nervously. She knew better than to get involved in sibling affairs, but it was hard to watch... As Sera sat down, she looked up. ... <It will be all right...> she told her, calmly, evenly, and praying they wouldn't make her a liar. Sera bit her lip, and pulled Jasna into her lap to hold. Jasna leaned against her limply.
Nik, meanwhile, found themself at a loss. "... Fine," was all they could seem to manage at first. Their mind raced, but hit dead end after dead end almost back to back to back, and the effort was exhausting. Finally, there was a straw to grasp, and Nik realized almost immediately it would probably do more harm than good but it was something to keep from standing there like an idiot.
"If Interpol was gonna step in they'd have done it by now without you." And I don't know how you think you're gonna make peace with both sides if you're still averse to dealing with someone who said something stupid and petty to you as a 15-year-old kid, they thought, but had juuust enough tact to keep that to themself. "But whatever, if you think they're your best bet, go for it." They didn't... really expect her to respond favorably but at this point doubted she would to anything.
"Just..." Nik's lips pursed, and they notably eyed Mia to indicate she was the reason for their next action before Dasha just a step or two to the side. Voice lower for Dasha's ears only, them begged, "Please, don't ruin my people's lives doing it. Everyone who knows you're in on this is in this room. Sera started all this. Mia and Orion love me too much to hurt you. Jazz has nothing to gain and plenty to lose by running his mouth. Marceline's either in the same boat as an innocent victim or she's lying and dirty as hell with even more to lose so either way her mouth's staying shut, but if you wanna run an investigation on her after this be my guest. Just.. save that part for later and assume innocent until proof for tonight?" They were kind of pleading at this point.
They were... suddenly crying actually? They weren't just a second ago, that kind of hit hard and fast didn't it. "Dash please. Anything you want, I'll do it as long as it won't hurt them, but.. I need you to understand I wouldn't do anything I thought would hurt you, I wouldn't ask this of you if--..." Nik swallowed. Whatever, she got the point without rambling on about it. The bigger point was, "If you're really doing this for me then I need you to trust me or--..." Wow they didn't want to say the thought that followed.

Orion shifted in his seat a little, vaguely glancing at Jazz and Marcie and Sera from time to time but…. mostly just watching, vaguely trying to listen. It was hard even with the rest of the room rather quiet now. A soft sigh drew in and out of him, and he leaned his head back sideways on Marcie's lap.
Fine? Fine- FFFFFFF. Had Nik been anyone else, they would have been slapped. Her Interpol brothers were also there, and if she had to emphasize this, it was only going to piss her off more. "I do think it's best," she growled lowly.
The next plea, however, had her eyes glazing over. Dasha knew it, truly. She could tear the carpet out from under everyone easily and knew it. Throw Sera in jail as Niso's accomplice. Banishment from the League for Mia if not jail for her too for association. She was sure she could jail Orion and possibly Marceline on extraneous charges if she couldn't find anything concrete. It wasn't hard, wouldn't be hard. Nik could lose everyone including Dasha herself. She could ruin the lives of everyone there. She knew that. Probably should do that.
….. I need you to trust me or-
Dasha straightened. Her features fell. Did she trust Nik right then? With everything that was going on? For as much as this could ruin her in more ways than one? A slow breath drew into her and she backed up a moment and grabbed a Pokeball, enlarging it. "Come with me right now." Was the order statement. Nik wouldn't get a chance to argue as a Gallade burst from the ball. "Gamma, me and Nik to the usual place." The Gallade blinked slowly looking around before giving a small nod teleporting them both off right then and there. Orion blinked slowly for a moment before "What the fuck" escaped from him.

With Dasha and Nik having their little 'argument' right infront of her, Mia was likely the most privvy to all the information. The look she was given towards the end had her wondering what Nik was saying, but she didn't abandon the door, having started to lay her shoulders into it and make it her new resting place. Even if Dasha was distracted now she wasn't gonna ease off the door till she was sure either Nik was done trying, or Dasha changed her mind on leaving. At the very clear sign Dasha was about to teleport them, Mia shifted off the door just a little. "Hey anything you wanna say you can-"
Aaaaand they were gone...yeah. Cause of course. Like she actually got a say in this little family squabble...heh...who was she kidding. This was way bigger than that at this point...the initial panic was gone but dread was still resting on her shoulders...fucking hell she could really be in a lot of trouble now...fuck...FUCK Nik!? Why!? Why did she have to get wrapped up in another layer of his shit...!? No...no calm down this...She knew as well as anyone that Niso couldn't be dealt with the conventional way...heh...still if Nik hadn't existed between her and Sera, she probably woulda kicked the shit out of him till he either got put in a cell or stopped healing...
Marcie's hand had moved to lightly stroke Orion's hair as he lay against her lap...as much as was going on she seemed fairly calm, but in the back of her head she was just considering what books she needed to burn when she got home...she wasn't about to run away but she wasn't gonna let herself get the short end of the stick here by being caught unawares. As her little calculations of risk came to an end, she shifted her eyes down to Orion, offering a weak smile even as the teleport seemed to surprise him a little, sighing and flicking her eyes to where the two sisters had been. "I'm...sure they'll be back...probably just needed some privacy..."
"Yeah probably." Mia grumbled, moving back towards the couch to take a seat, but before she even made it past the chairs, her tension got the better of her, side on to the wall she just slammed the side of her arm and fist against it, her strength output a little higher than even she was expecting as she managed to make a fair indentation the length of her forearm, some small bits of the wall actually knocking loose as she tugged her arm from the indentation, eyes flicking to Orion with a mumbled. "I'll...pay for that..."
Marcie jolted a little herself at the display...heh...her sense of humor was terrible, but the words left her before she could consider them.
"Merry christmas everyone?"

The more Jazz sat there and thought about precisely how long this had been going on, the less he felt like being anywhere near these people. Nik apparently trying to damage control gave him a good idea of just how long this charade had been going on. Apparently the reason why he quit being the fucking gym leader was because of Niso fucking Konto. Fuck this. He knew there was a reason he'd kept people at arm's length and this was fucking it. Whatever else Nik and Dasha said, he couldn't quite catch but Jazz had long since run out of fucks to give. Oh. And now Nik and Dasha apparently were going to teleport away now. How fucking great was that. And Mia just bloody punched a hole in the wall. Heh. See why the heavy metal was needed now, Marceline? That did make him smile just faintly but fuck if he couldn't even imagine sitting with these fucking liars for one second. Marceline's attempt at a joke was enough for Jazz to give a derisive bark of a laugh as he stood up before Mia could sit down. "Yes, merry fucking Christmas. I absolutely love finding out everyone has been fucking lying to me for months. Best. Gift. EVER," Jazz fumed, his voice practically dripping with sarcasm before gesturing to the blue snowflake wrapped presents still under the tree. "Go ahead and fucking enjoy it. Cuz I sure as hell can't." With that, Jazz would grab the gifts he'd already received and stormed upstairs, slamming the door behind him with enough force to make it heard from downstairs. He wouldn't waste time before releasing Kovu and flopping on the bed with him, head buried in the Luxray's fur. Fuck them.
ulla {Presents} MiaWhat Mia would see when opening her gift was a large black box that looked big enough to hold some sort of instrument in it. Inside was the real present, a fully functioning personalized cyber arm. The arm panels completely covered any wiring underneath to ensure that Mia wouldn't harm any part of it if she wanted to do heavy lifting. As heavy as the arm appeared to be, it was deceitfully light due to the nature of the metal. Once worn, Mia would discover that the arm moved fluidly, more naturally than her previous arm. It would also, surprisingly, fit like a glove without needing to be adjusted (thanks to a certain someone sneakily providing the correct measurements). More than that, it seemed to move with Mia and would even expand and even show some 'muscle' if brought up in a flexing motion. Aside from the fluid movements, Jazz had hidden a few more personalized details into the arm. Rather than program the arm to show the hidden compartments using a movement, Jazz had placed a couple latches on the arm that would open the hidden areas when pressed but also meant that Mia couldn't open the compartments without meaning to. The first latch would open up when pressing down on the inner arm panel, revealing a hidden compartment that had a place for pokeballs, a Z-Charm, and a Key Stone. The compartment closed just by pushing it again, making it appear as if it never existed in the first place. The other latch was placed on the upper part of the arm with a couple fingers that would trigger the panels to shift, revealing the MP3 player. Though the player was already loaded with songs (courtesy of Nik's suggestions), it was able to hold a significant amount more just by plugging it in via the USB port hidden in the elbow next to the headphone jack. These were also protected by individual latches to prevent them from getting damaged when not in use. **see SG for paint description** Sera/Dasha/MarcelineSera, Dasha, and Marceline would each get a small box that looked like it came from a jewelers. Dasha's held an elegant necklace and earring. Sera's had a similar set that included a ring as well. Marceline's however would have a bit of a more personal touch. Her necklace and earring set would have green in the center, a perfect match to the shirt she'd gotten earlier and would go well with most everything she chose to wear. NikNik would be the next to receive a couple gifts which too included a smaller box that held a fairy necklace and another bigger box that held top of the line art supplies and a paint set in another box. OrionOrion was next with a couple boxes, the first of which held a clearly custom made Singing Eelektross and another box that held a mixer (in a color that complimented the kitchen) complete with various attachments to help make baking and whatever else easier.

Nik did not have time to protest, and a brief look of fear and confusion was all the reaction the others would see before the teleport whisked them away.
Sera sat dumbfounded, flinching when Mia punched the wall, then frowning hard at Marcie's little quip. Jazz's outburst really drained her, though, and she just let out a long slow sigh as he stormed up the stairs. "I am... really sorry... I shouldn't have come." She and Nik were barely friends now, anyway. They were clinging to old memories more than current compatibility and she knew it deep down. She had no place here; she was a burden, just like she was to everyone but Niso in the long run.
Well, she could beat herself up or... "Let me see what I can do? This is my fault and I have the least to lose if I make him hate me more..." She gave Jasna one more squeeze, then set her down before heading up the stairs. If no one stopped her, she'd press herself against the walls quietly, reaching out for an emotional signature to find which room was Jazz's, and stay there leaning and soaking it up to try to understand for some time before attempting anything else.
Downstairs, Jasna watched the others, trying to watch for anything she might need to later convey to Nik through Sera or Max.

Marcie's weak smile had Orion smiling back just as weak. He didn't, couldn't, know what was meant by 'the usual place', and that worried him. They could be outside of Pahala or all the way in Aleal depending on the numerous jumps it would take? He had no way of knowing and it worried him more than he wanted to let on.
Mia punching the wall had Orion fidgeting slightly again. "Really?" he growled low in his throat before Mia assured she'd pay for that. Yeah you better not put holes in my good walls. As much as he wanted to say these things, he also kind of wanted a distraction- Marce. Orion's chuckle was genuine but rather quickly overshadowed by Jazz. What- Jazz??!?! Fuck??? Orion groaned reaching up and covering his face equal parts tired and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry," he wasn't even sure who he was saying it to? To Jazz? Sera? To Mia? To Marcie? To Jasna? Maybe just a general 'everyone' he guessed. He wasn't even sure what he was sorry for at this point aside from being the caretaker of the house, he guessed. "Would- could I get either of you anything?" he asked looking from Marcie and then to Mia. He… kind of wanted to get up and do something rather than just sit here wishing to die like he was, lol.

Dusting her arm off from the wall indentation she'd made, Mia's eyes were a little tired...between Marcie's quip and Jazz storming off she'd lost any last droplets of hope this could be an alright celebration...honestly as far as her family went this was probably the first shit christmas she'd actually had. There was even a christmas where their power failed and that still managed to be weirdly fun with the Kearneys in charge of it...
Her eyes briefly flickered to the presents, as did Marcie's, but neither of them were about to dive for them. Marcie...may have been curious what she'd gotten, but Mia was more worried about how Jazz himself was. Sera saying she shouldn't have come stung her weirdly too, and before she went off to follow Jazz, she stepped over to catch her and hold her head in a light one armed hug...okay it probably wasn't that light. Mia was a bit too strung right now to do anything less than a tight squeeze.
"...I know we don't hang out much but you're probably like, my joint second favorite person here okay?" She'd add in a light whisper. "And that's including Jasna." With a smirk she pulled back a bit, running a hand over and through Sera's hair. "You're fun loving, pleasantly cheeky, chipper and...without you I probably wouldn't have Nik around to bully with love so..." Her hand fell from Sera's hair and she gave a light shrug, never too good with words. "You matter okay, you should be here, you slipped up yeah but...we'll deal with that. You do a lot more good with Niso than this little slip could ever outweigh."
Dipping her head towards the stairs, Mia let out a faint sigh and wimply went. "Go after 'em...if I was the one trying to talk to him right now I'd probably kick down the doors till I found him and yell his ear off so..." She lightly jabbed Sera's arm with a smirk. "You go do that magical thing you do and get everyone to love ya okay?"
Watching Sera likely still leave, Mia turned around and fell into the couch as Orion offered to get them anything, Marcie shaking her head and ruffling Orion's hair. She was about to say they were fine and he should relax...but she knew him well enough to know he probably couldn't. "Scotch on the rocks?" It was a small thing, and she'd adjust it if they didn't have scotch, sliding into the seat Orion left behind and leaning on the arm of the couch, muttering under her breath so only Mia could hear at that point. "Well this is all royally fucked..."
Mia's eyes shifted over to the Greenette, narrowing her gaze and muttering herself. "...Where you REALLY hypnotized...?"
Marcie had to debate her answer for a moment, hand covering her own face, eyes peering through her fingers in an exhausted manner, finally shaking her head slowly. "No...you're about as screwed as I am so you may as well be in on the secrets...I manage his accounts. How else do you think he can spend so much and not be tracked?"
"Huh...he did say he had someone for that..."
"Yours truly...may have to burn those accounts...still debating that though."
"...Orion kn-" "Yup" "Gotcha."

O--oh??? Wow, yeah, that... was a good reason to be stopped, and Sera hugged Mia tightly back, tearing up just a bit. "...Thank you," she squeaked, before heading up the stairs. Now she leaned on the wall and reached out to secretly leech on Jazz's feelings. That he was angry wasn't question right now, but she strived to understand the finer points. Betrayal, fear, disgust? Just what type(s) of anger was he dealing with, and was there anything Sera could guess finer notes of from context? Mmmmm... This would be so much easier if her telepathy worked on people but... she sighed, and strove to do her best.
In time, once she felt she understood the pattern, she would start projecting it back at Jazz through the wall... with very subtle alterations. A tinge of regret. An ounce of guilt. Uncertainty, confusion, the slightest flicker of hope that would immediately fade back out. Feelings that should flow naturally enough with his negative mindset, but start easing him into a slightly less stubborn, more receptive state.
Downstairs, Jasna had debated going to the kitchen with Orion, perhaps trying to bring everyone some snacks. But... sigh. She knew this wasn't the fancy parties Nik's parents used to throw, but she still couldn't help but remember how some folks would act disgusted that she'd touched their food. And, eh, Orion was already up... Maybe he'd bring them all something along with Marcie's drink?
In the meantime, Marcie's voice had gotten much quieter... but of course, Jasna was sitting right there beside the girls. While Orion wouldn't hear from the kitchen, she certainly did... and mauve eyes tried very hard to form lasers to burn into Marcie for it. She made Nik vouch for her and--!? This... horrible excuse for a-- Oh, Jasna wished she could give her a piece of her mind. Very few times in her life had she truly lamented her lack of ability to speak, but this was one for all the choice words she had for--
...
No, you know what? Jasna did not need words. In her mind, she very dryly thought, I'm a feral fucking beast, bitch. And she leaned in and bit Marcie.

Curled up against Kovu, Jazz had buried his head against the Luxray's mane, just trying to focus on breathing for the time being. It was easier to do that much instead of focus on the reason why he was in here anyway. The hell were they thinking? This was Niso they were talking about here and there was no fucking way it could be 'alright'. How long had they been hiding this anyway? Fuck, and Nik of all people had known what Niso did to him, what he'd almost did to Kovu and he hadn't said anything. I hate them. No, that was a lie. Jazz might have been pissed at them for taking Niso's side in all of this, but he still cared. That made it worse. Really, he should know better than this. The other shoe had to drop sometime. Was it really all that bad though? Niso had seemed pretty cool, at least until that aura scared him half to death. He still couldn't get that out of his mind. Even if the kid was crazy, he was still a criminal. Nik's lecture or whatever the hell that had been just made him realize how much of a mistake it had been to trust him... or anyone for that matter. Jazz had never really been able to deal with change well, and he was just barely beginning to be able to sort out his own feelings. It just felt like... like he was betrayed. That didn't make much sense but that was the long and the short of it. But Orion, Mia, and Nik... they all knew about Niso and... even seemed to be friends with him. At what cost though? Nik had quit being a gym leader because of Niso. Who knew what sort of shit Orion and Niso could get in together. Wasn't the point of coming here to get away from war? Away from chaos? I knew it was too good to be true. Why did it have to turn out like this? Jazz had been looking forward to today, for the chance to have fun with friends and celebrate. Except this wasn't fun, and he apparently got roped into a conspiracy meant to protect Niso. Yes, merry Christmas indeed. Fuck. If it wasn't for Orion and Mia, Jazz wouldn't even consider it.

A small nod was given, and Orion slipped up off the couch slowly walking back to the kitchen. If he could busy his hands for even a little, maybe it would settle his nerves. Hm, he only had one type of Scotch, but that was fine. The ice he had chilled from tap water would be fine too, yeah. Man, if he had thought ahead aside from his cookies, he most certainly would have bought some spring water for actual drink mixes. Oh well, he could make do with this.
Orion would not be entirely impervious to the conversation going on between Mia and Marcie but couldn't exactly hear what they were saying either. If he had to guess, it was something about Nik considering that was their shared connection aside from him? (Or maybe they were talking about him even, ugh.) Coming back with the drink, Orion was just in time to see whatever reaction Marcie was about to have to Jasna.

"AH the fu-!" Biting her tongue before she finished her curse, Marcie jolted up from the couch gripping the spot Jasna had bit, quickly checking her arm after glaring at the feral little cretin. Great, shitty little thing's fangs had pierced the skin and she was bleeding a little. Not much but enough to put a whole in her less festive sweater and start to form a small patch of dark brown. Fuck. Blood was so hard to clean and-Why had this little shit even bit her!?
Mia meanwhile just thrust her face into a pillow and started snorting loudly. She...may have done that herself honestly, with a punch of course, if she hadn't been so used to surrounding herself with shitty people at this point. She wasn't fully aware of what Marcie did outside of managing Niso's bank accounts, but Orion was sent to kill Nik, she bailed friends out of jail on the regular, and played Mario and Rabbids with Niso. Yeah she just...had no right to punch Marcie for trying to save face infront of an interpol agent, heck she woulda done the same.
"What are you laughing about this thing bit me!!" Still snickering, Mia rolled her eyes and pushed up from her own seat, walking over to Jasna and kneeling down infront of it's spot.
"That 'thing' is probably a closer friend to Nik than I will ever be...her name's Jasna and she's a Mienshao." Turning her attention to Jasna herself, she didn't risk reaching out to pet her given how on edge she must feel given Nik was teleported away and all this crap was happening. "Hey Jas? Every right to bite her there, but we're kinda all in the shit here. Yeah she's a lying sack of shit-" "HEY!" "...A whiny lying sack of shit." Some light grumbles but Marcie didn't protest this time, just moving over to take her drink from Orion while gripping her arm, asking him if he had a bandaid for the puncture point. "We're all kinda on edge here and I don't think we can really blame her for trying to save her ass. I tried to pretend it wasn't the Niso we all know, Orion..." She looked over her shoulder, trying to make sure her memory wasn't failing her and looking to Orion to confirm. "Pretty sure he didn't say a damn word when shit went down." Back to Jasna. "Nik's betrayed Sera's trust to an extent and told an interpol agent, sister or not, a VERY dangerous secret, Marcie lied...besides the fact she slipped up, Sera, Jazz, and Dash are the only ones in this room who are not, to SOME extent, shitty people." Sure Orion hadn't said anything but Mia stood by her statement there.
"So...hows about we take that bite, call it quits...and wait till-" and hope "Nik comes back...sound good hun?"
"...I'm still pissed she bit-"
"Let it go ya Kalosian bitch."
