Though the intervention of the Saiyan wasn't ideal, Terra saw no reasonable alternative after Mint had threatened the Moon and Arcose itself. Bluff or no, a threat was a threat, and the one making the threat had to be ready to be taken at his word. Especially as the head of the Empire, especially as one who likely could act on that threat. If he got away with such a flagrant threat, there was no telling what would come next. However, this also represented the end of the battle, such that Yoku had seen fit to state as such. Even if Mint was stronger than he was at the Open, even if he was strong enough to handle either the Super Saiyan or Ticoga alone, Terra knew that he could not handle both without aid.
Honenashi seemed to agree, not even planning to see the battle to its conclusion. "The pleasure is mine. I do hope you do well in the Shield." Terra proclaimed simply, giving Honenashi a sweet smile as he left. She didn't know why Ticoga chose the blue man to join, but she had no reason to assume Honenashi was a poor choice. Hopefully, he would prove himself soon, whether that proof was positive or negative. While competence was obviously preferred, it would be best to see if he was incompetent sooner rather than later. He seemed willing to learn from this short meeting at least, which meant that hopefully could be taught if need be.
"Shall we leave as well?" She asked her brothers, turning slightly to look at them more directly. They both silently nodded, before walking calmly to the exit; with the empire's future determined for the moment, they had no reason to stick around to watch the former emperor's defeat. Perhaps this could be the chance she was looking for, but she would wait a little and see how things went in the aftermath. The Eis would need to adjust their plans with Ticoga as the sole Emperor, and doing so early was likely for the best.

There was no need to witness Yoku's work dismantled, even if the older Heran seemed to take this defeat relatively well. At least, he seemed more accepting than many would in such a situation. Before leaving, she turned to glance at Yoku as he began trying to drink the situation away, looking at him with pity. "I hope you can adapt to this new age." She murmured to herself as she followed her brothers, the light clack of shoes reverberating through the casino as she left.
