>That's a hard question to answer. You know that Seiga trusted her, and other jiang shi, to guard your mausoleum, so they have to be at least smart enough for guard work. You don't really know if she could act independently, and her desires are almost impossible to read as she is dead and that throws them off considerably.

Both:

I won't put Youmu dialogue for now, since Miko hasn't finished delivering her arguments, and i won't put Miko dialogue either because i'm not following Kilga's train of thought exactly and not being used to Miko, but i'd probably say something like although Seiga isn't part of her entourage anymore, she's still her follower of sorts, thus still being Miko's responsibility.
