The guild mistress's arrival marked the arrival of the three that would be embarking on the journey. Of course, Miss Jarnefeldt! I got everything we need for the bonfire with me!"
With Iris's blindness and Leona's status, Jin was left to be the one to haul all the wood needed for the fire. Leona was kind enough to provide the means to lighting the fire, but it was a blessing that she was joining the journey anyways. He adjusted Iris's hat, covering up her neck before they wandered out into the cold snow, before he grabbed his own pack of supplies alongside the wood sled.
Are you absolutely certain you'll be able to get both? The sled and your own pack, I mean.
Well, I mean...they're both girls, and-
Leona's stronger than you by miles, and Iris could probably beat you if I didn't intervene.
B-but the right thing to do is-
You and your damn chivalry. Let me-
No. I was careless enough to let you slip out when meeting Leona and Leila, I'm not going to let you have any control outside of battle.
You have some oddly specific wording there, I must say.
As you said, you're the better fighter, so-
-that means I'm stronger. So let me take charge and we can-
You don't get the point! The point is that I don't want you to try to kill Iris or something.
The Bringer of Death's disappointment and contempt was thinly veiled, its transparency assisted by their shared body. The Paragon had made his decision that he would take care of the wood sled himself, regardless of any offers Leona or, heaven forbid, Iris would make.
Speaking of Iris, what's your thoughts on her?
She seems fine enough. Odd that you, of all people, are asking an opinion on someone.
We both see a benefit to working with her. Her magic is adaptable like ours, and you seem to mesh well with her. Something about "two cursed souls," if I remember right?
Instinctively, Jin dropped his personal bag onto the ground as he balled his hand into a fist. Quickly realizing his exterior action, he turned to his two other guildmates. "Sorry about that! Must've had a weird grip on it." He laughed, trying to convince himself of his lie.
You aren't supposed to dig into all my thoughts.
Hard not to when you're sharing the same thoughts and memories. Plus, you do
too. Plus, you already have your own thoughts on her.
True, I suppose. Would be a shame if something were to happen to her because of her blindness.
The Bringer of Death's smug sense of satisfaction bubbled over, pouring into the Paragon's own emotions. Realizing his falling into his other's trap, he shook off the embarrassment and focused in on his exterior actions, as foolishly being foiled by his other persona's tricks could lead to hazard in the snowy mountains.
