It appears to be an old tale about mankind's grip on the world, but that was never a match for the might of the dragon king. As they were never able to defeat the dragon to claim its hoard. A jade mouse, truly insignificant and weak, was able to fill its belly all day and night, without ever having to confront the dragon. Devouring little pieces of treasure, while mankind was never even able to come near it. In short, the tale was mainly used as an ego-check; showing where one could face something unbeatable, yet still get what their heart desires if they were smart about it.
Now sure, like many stories there were lot of different versions on it, were with this story, some described it as that the lonely dragon allowed the mouse to eat their gold, in trade for their companionship; where other versions described the dragon to be too arrogant to even notice the mouse nibbling on its treasure. Oyoki obviously more fan of the latter.
If she'd ever come to face someone or something, far beyond her power, she wouldn't fear it necessarily, rather see it as an opportunity to see what she can get out of it. And given the magic she used to contain, to her, she was almost always prepared. Sure powerful beings wouldn't always just show off their features to anyone; so given her fox-folk nature, provoking and alluring it out, were one of her biggest delights.
Oyoki never being the most powerful, rarely ever stopped her from getting what she wants. Or well, that is how she likes to think about it.
She raises her hands in a shrug, shaking her head in contempt, "Humans and their technology~ So easy to forget the ancient ways and never truly learn a lesson.", she giggles again, "Not like their cannons and such were ever a match for magic to start with."
The entity within the fruit could in some ways be seen as a living portable dimension on its own, where as the creature you'd 'see', would just be a layer around an opening that would otherwise just suck in anything into its endless void. Yet how strange is it may be, this 'thing' Oyoki likes to call "Bonsii" is sentient, and given its own internal-dimensional-clock, unrelated to their exterior, it does start to feel lonely.. and cold... Not like containment it was in would ever allow it to take any instance about it.
So yes, it is safely stored away to Lyra's intent, just feeling very lonely.
Not that Oyoki knows how well it is stored away, she'll likely think it'll break out sometimes soon, destroying what ever base they are in and make Lyra beg to her to contain it. She slightly grins at the idea but was unaware of how that wasn't going to happen.

Saiya follows her mistress. Even though she technically was a person now and not 'owned' but anyone anymore, she still had a strong sense of servitude from her former-armor self. It would feel strange to her to not think of Lyra and the others to not be her owners...
Being already quite used to Wolf's house, technological advance equipment wasn't all too impressive anymore. Sure she might not know the workings of them, but was sure those who did own such thing, would know how to use it properly; so there was little to worry about.
She gives a few blinks, unsure how to respond to the criticisms of Wolf's system.
"Yes. And I think it might be best to select those that are willing to work hard. Most of my previous masters had a heart full of fire, and became powerful and enduring warriors with me as their gear.", she pauses for a second trying to not sound too downgrading, "Those with less passion.. weren't even able to carry my weight... But I'm sure they are capable of other things..."
