Tyki sighed. "I understand Kid's point of view to a degree," he conceded. "But the fact is, here you sit, beaten up and half broken. You could have been killed. There's no law enforcement committee at this point, and even if there were, it likely wouldn't intervene in a matter like this."

He fixed Hakuba with a cold stare. "But I am not a normal person, like you. And my 'family' would not be endangered. I'm not afraid of these people, and I do not feel it makes sense for me to stand by the next time they attack you."
