[ There is a quiet, calm, surprisingly serene moment where Jing Yuan is clearly thinking about this. Given he is not smiling, it might be kind of foreboding (but not for Mika), in a very "Ah. I see," way, and nothing else. For the most part.

Is he mad? Is he disappointed? Is he ready to raise Cain?

Either way, the moment of thought passes as swiftly as it comes. It's probably fine. When Jing Yuan speaks again, his tone is cool, measured, and even as he places his hands behind his back. ]

You're correct. Withholding such knowledge is tantamount to grave carelessness, considering it could endanger our mission, and subsequently our goals. Not to mention, our livelihoods.

[ Jing Yuan has access to his usual abilities, but he doesn't want to know if that might affect it as well. Considering further the potential ultimate price of all this...he's also concerned about the repercussions in general of him hiding this. If Mika has already informed him, someone else knows, and that someone probably told someone else too... ]

I appreciate you having informed me of this as he did not adhere council. Whatever the case, others should know as well, as unfortunate the possible ramifications such information not coming from him may cause.

[ Next opportunity he has to speak with Tatara, he makes a mental note to discuss the matter at length. Privately. Ideally. ]
