Well she had not exactly said in anyway, but he took it that way, she had only meant the job but he unloaded about everything. At the very least? Rumi didn’t have trouble communicating with people what he was thinking! However, she tsked her tongue at some of his words, humming something to herself with her hands behind her neck, twined into the hair there as she thought on how best to explain his minor misinterpretation. “Honestly I didn’t think the enemies mattered too much.” Really the only thing on her mind when when she flounced over and got the little boy to accompany her? Was keeping her own demonic instincts in check and making sure she did not accidently actually murder the giant, since her goal was only to get his herd not his life if avoidable. On her own, Jiyu had no doubt she would take this too far. “I've just been taking whatever job comes my way lately and my mission partner if any existed, at the site, it’s kind of become habit of really mentioning too much of that stuff to people anymore.” Sure she had been playful by withholding which job it was, but she hadn’t intended to have him think she was lying, he was smart and she really had not thought she needed to say anything. Of course? She would not have said anything either way, since what she truly needed her fellow hound for was instinct control, keeping herself under control with the presence of someone precious, even if she happened to accidentally consume blood. Jiyu was far from the most carefully thinking woman in the world, sure she was clever and calculating but she was also rash and decisive. Traits that sometimes canceled each other out. None of that mattered anyways, the bottom line was she needed him and for a brief moment she had believed he might go somewhere and not actually come off the ship with her!
“Trust me, you're definitely needed, if I thought it would be breezy enough to do alone, I would have done so, I have before.” but that was before she became a half dog demoness and found she tended to go further in this form than she did when she had been human, take things too far and regret it after she was finished with the mission, even if the guilt came days later, it still came and she still disliked it. “Well first we have to make sure we’re fighting away from the herd, so we don’t hurt them accidently.” she pointed it out, but that was a clear point. “We’re going to use the small woods on the island as cover from the giant, he won’t see us beneath them but we’ll be able to see him, long enough to attack enough to bring him down.
And now they were getting to the part of a ship ride where people bonded.
“Let me read the draft when you write it up than.” the wind user leaned over the rail of the boat, smiling contently as the ship rocked with the ocean waves, claws tracing the wooden patterns beneath them. Jiyu glanced over to speak once more, but smirked at the fact he was detached by his book, looking fondly at him and resisting the urge to ruffle his hair between the ears. “Enjoy the book.” the water was more than enough to keep her entertained, eyes glued to it until she saw the seabed change somewhat which signaled them nearing land. She heard the other comments and, than her own could not be contained “You are good thought, pretty sure I was still reading picture books at your age.” of course she also had a much humbler begining than any god could, if her mother hadn’t died she would still be humble even now, just another faceless village girl marrying whoever she was closest to as a child.
“Let’s go than.” she made the comment as she leaped over the side of the ship and landed in the water, legs getting wet as she walked to the shore and felt the sand between her toes. “Why don’t we take care of the wolf pack I’m smelling first? So they don’t decide the scent of future fighting is dinner?” she was giving him a choice, but really they were going for the wolves anyways, Jiyu disliked sharing with other canines if they weren’t part of her pack, ruminal was part of hers so he was alright, but the other wolves made her eyes darken and her tail lash.
