MARUKI

⬛⬛⬛

Despite every single fiber of his being screaming for him to scream and shout out his dedication, Maruki kept his wits on him as he followed Shade's lead. Even as his suspicions about the Vestygian rose to uncomfortable levels after he noticed his behavior shifting ever so slowly after they met with the other Vestygians, he still kept his faith that his friend was still working for the Empire and all that was holy alongside it.

Still, the fact that they were clearly recruiting without the express permission of the Princess rankled on his nerves something fierce.

"See you all later then!~"

His face keeping its stoicism, Maruki watched the Marquean woman leave, probably off to gather a what few blasphemies she might have to come aboard their [Rig]. Still, he kept silent. That was what was required of him after all.
