[ It looks like more than a mere scratch to her, but she nods in understanding and decides to drop the issue for now. There would be plenty of time once the matter was resolved to fuss over her brother later once they ensured their safety. She does as she's instructed, lingering close to her brother but giving him enough distance where he can combat Scorpius without her hindering his range or having him accidentally whack her in the face.
She doesn't realize it at the time, but she can't help but hold her breath in sheer anxiety as she watches the two go head to head, clasping her hands together, almost as if she were praying. If she were to pray now, would the gods answer her prayers...? It wasn't as if they had a reason to, now that she had abandoned their will, and at this point, Misia didn't have much faith in them either to believe that they would grant her wish. With how much torment they had put her through, it would have been ironic if they had.
So instead, she just continues to look on, inwardly berating herself for being able to do nothing but watch. She wishes that she weren't useless in this situation, that she could do something that would assist him. They had just been reunited; she didn't want to lose him again, especially when he was fighting to protect her. If only she knew how to swordfight...!
Just as soon as she thinks that, Elef has Scorpius down onto the ground, preparing to deliver the final blow. Misia can't help but wince when her brother drives the sword into him, but she can't tear her eyes away from the sight either. This man...This man had caused them so much pain by tearing them away from their parents, by tearing them away from each other by sending them to the slave market, and was about to take away their final chance at being together, had Elef not intervened. It's only natural that she feels some semblance of hatred towards him, and so she feels that death is a just revenge for all that he put them through.
The moment she's certain that Scorpius is dead, Misia can't restrain herself from rushing towards her brother, a large smile on her face. ] Elef! [ She wraps her arms around him in a loving embrace, nuzzling her face against his chest. However, she quickly stops herself as a thought comes to mind - they aren't exactly in the clear yet. Therefore, she pulls back, her happiness from before fading into seriousness as she takes a quick glance around their surroundings before returning her gaze to her brother. ]
...We must hurry and leave the area. Scorpius may be dead, but his soldiers could return at any given moment, and I don't think they'd be very forgiving if they were to see us. [ Her gaze trails up towards the sky, where she consults the stars. After a brief moment, she points in a certain direction, looking at Elef with a knowing smile. ] There. If we head that way, we should be able to avoid his troops, and I do believe there is an area that we can take refuge in for the night. Elef, let's hurry!
[ Without another word, Misia takes his hand and begins to dash off in the direction she pointed out. As she runs, her heart swells with happiness as the action reminds her of when they were children, the euphoric days when they would run and play together through the mountains. How she wishes they could return to those days...but now that Elef was here by her side again, there was no reason why they couldn't, was there? Perhaps they were no longer children, but that didn't mean the two of them couldn't have fun.
That's why she suddenly decides to let go of Elef's hand, glancing back at him with her smile turning impish, and proclaims: ] I bet I can beat you there! [ She doesn't give him a countdown or anything; instead, she takes off running again, a joyous laugh escaping her lips. It's a laugh that she hasn't had in years, ever since the day they were taken from their parents, and it's one she never imagined to have ever again.
...Misia doesn't know how this change of events was able to happen, for she's certain it wasn't Moira's will, but she's definitely glad it did. ]
