"The one who I would protect to my last breath, I pray that nothing ever befalls you,"
Yami met Lirya under a very complicated set of circumstances, and has been smitten with her ever since. He's vowed to protect her and her happiness, and has gone out of his way to keep to that promise.
"You poor lost soul, I'm not some maiden that needs protecting, that would be you,"
Lirya is for some reason drawn to Yami, and as such it became quickly apparent to her that she had fallen for the samurai. She knows how he wishes to protect her, but she also knows that she is more than capable of protecting herself, and aims to show him such so that he can learn to think better of himself than as simply a guardian.
