“Huh?”
“What?”
“Oh my.”
“How odd…”
“The crap?”
“$&#*”
Setsuna sighed and rubbed her temples, while everyone else stared at Michiru after her inelegant utterance. “Ranma, may I please take one of your aspirin?”
“Why are you even still here?” Between the strange Senshi’s comments and his own fruitless efforts, Dominus was getting quite piqued,
“Because we can help each other, and our goals are complementary.”
The nebulous entity glared as best he could. “How so?”
“You want to keep the number of magical girls to a minimum to ensure you live as long as you can. I want the Zodiac Amulets for my own purposes.” Eris smiled. “They seem to mesh well.”
