[ Her eyes widen a bit at the Matron's words — as much as she loved Light and loved doing and sacrificing all she could for his cause, she'd never really been praised by him for it. At least not like this. And it feels... good, overwhelmingly good, to have her conviction lauded, to be told that she's special. Useful, in some way that's unique from everyone else. Her face flushes, and in the depths of her heart, her chest tightens with excitement and fondness, her already early attachment to Yima intensifying that much more. In the moment, she wants nothing more than to work harder to earn more of this feeling of approval - and inwardly, she makes a vow that she will. She will. ]
It was special to you? Really?
[ For once, Misa seems a little — bashful, awed, not quite like her typical confident and presumptuous self. Her eyes drop lovingly to the book before her, thumbs stroking the black cover with reverence. ]
Misa is able to be strong because of Light... and because of Yima, too. So I want to help you. You don't have to ask me... you can just say, Misa, do this! And I'll do my best. [ Her loyalty has always been her best trait, she thinks - and she's happy to offer it to the one person who had actually reunited her with Light, who had given her the opportunity to reach for power in a way she hadn't been able to before. ] If there's someone you wanted to get rid of, I could do it whenever.

There's a twinkle in her eye at her offer though - clearly proud to be able to provide such a service in the future. Just like old times - not that she knows that it won't be so simple this time around. It's the thought that counts, she's just happy to kill for mommy, ]
