Sixth Haiku [Voice, Locked to X-Men and Staff]

This is the moment where we have to ask ourselves:

Is sheltering her worth the trouble? We're at a very real risk of making enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D., which could compromise the safety of a number of people here.

Perhaps we've let her borrow enough time. She got herself into this mess willingly, after all.

[He'll be the absolute last to suggest doing anything against Xavier's orders or behind his back -- but he's more than willing, at this point, to question the decisions that have been made.]

We can unite when a decision's made. Shying away from criticism before that isn't going to help anyone in the long run.

"Our advice was not requested,"

[She said softly. She did not want to argue, this was pretty much the opposite of what she wanted to do.]

[koukai_kirai]

I didn't request yours, either.

"Then I apologize, I misunderstood, and thought that you had opened this as a public forum for discussion."

[Sad thing is, she wasn't saying that as snide or snarky or to make a point. She is sincere.]

"I will remove myself from the conversation then, and I deeply apologize for the intrusion. Social media was not part of my life before I came here, and I am still learning the customs and cultural boundaries."

[She crossed one arm over her chest and bowed deeply.]

[koukai_kirai]

[He was... not expecting that reaction.]

[But he doesn't really feel like inviting her to keep arguing with him -- it's been a long day already and he finds himself with limited energy for things like that -- so he just shrugs his shoulder a bit uncomfortably, acknowledging her apology while trying not to imply too heavily that it was actually necessary.]
