Leanne knew, she really knew or at least she knew more than she should have. She knew they wanted to do something and she knew that it was horrible, the plans that had never been voiced in any language, that had just been alluded to vaguely in the forest... Ikki knew why she knew, it was the only explanation he could think of and he had faced people who did that before. People who could see what was inside someone's head and heart without leaving any trace of their presence, without alerting the person into whom they peeked.
He had been careless, he had thought that such a power, which was rare in his world, would be even more rare to find now. The events with Selphie had left his mind shaken and he had neglected to raise even a minimal barrier. It was too late to raise it against Leanne, not at the moment, but he would know better from that moment onwards. There were things she was better off not seeing and if she was already bothered by what he and Marco had been thinking... It only served to prove his point.
"We don't believe they did anything like that to Kairi, they just killed her and that's enough. But as Marco says this isn't just about her, it's about the whole crew;" he didn't bother with the human language, not when both of them would understand him and when there were still many whom they didn't want to find out. Ironically, though, despite Ikki normally being the less restrained one, his tone was calm, rough and firm as he spoke to Leanne, far too used to having someone trying to reason with him and nosing where they shouldn't. However, the anger was there, the hate was burning with the same intensity as always.
"It's not the first time, either. They were ready to execute her and the others the very first time we had a confrontation with them and some got captured. We gave them our regards and sent a message;" he could still remember the feeling of that soldiers head in his hand as he smashed it against the stone, skin ripping, bone breaking in pieces as blood and grey mass spluttered out... Right in front of Kairi who was being dragged to the gallows. After that soldier there was another, and another, many were burned to death, corpses charring as he took the girl back to the ship. Others had been left alive, trapped in eternal nightmares inside of their own minds. And then there was the damage caused by all the others... "But the message wasn't clear enough. So this time we will make sure that it is perfectly clear what happens when they mess with this crew."
