and you? ( * despite his immunity from this new manhunt, she still canât help but worry and it shows ) ( * then thereâs the question of the person beside him. thereâs a nagging feeling when she lets her gaze drift away from jin, only to meet the strangerâs eyes andâoh? ) ( * she lets her stare linger long enough for gun to know that she knows, which isnât long, but hopefully their streak of silent mutual understanding hasnât died down since the last time theyâve seen each other ) areâare you both okay? ( * itâs only courteous to ask, especially coming from her. thatâs not to say the question is insincere. far from it, actually )
( ` in the scatter of his thoughts and senses, sianâs quiet distress is missed entirely. wide-eyed, the dumbstruck expression on jinâs face uncharacteristically profound ) weâre fine. ( ` one breath to gather his thoughts, another that gets caught in his throat, suddenly sick with the realization. even if she dons a disguise, thereâs still no taking chances. ) ( ` voice drops low, solemn and urgent ) you shouldnât be by yourself. ( ` he follows the way her eyes trail over his shoulder, which he mistakes as a sign to clear the air )Â
heâs with me. ( ` steps forward and aside to allow mai a better glimpse of their companion ) donât worry. ( ` his gaze finds sianâs, and itâs a wordless plea ) the sooner we get back to the inn, the better. ( ` the full truth of her identity is left out with reason. any and all explanations will have to wait. ) ( ` is further amiss to the fact heâs the real outlier between the three of themâboth in how far shared histories go back, and the complex dilemma that is afoot in this very second ) ( ` for now: thereâs safety in numbers. )Â
going in circles now, are we? ( ` he jokes last minute, almost interrupting, clearing the air of anything that lingers. survival instinct? might just be his charm and strange but not exactly poor timing ) we left it yesterday, but thereâs nothing for us past it. ( ` eyes land on jin for a beat to confirm, making sure he knows just as much as he says he does. kind of hard to question it otherwise when nobody else was physically with them anyway ) hit a dead end. ( ` motions for mai with his head to come over to his side rather than in between them, subtle. ) could use some help figuring out another way around this with one more brain. ( ` code for catch up. as per usual, heâs winging it )
( ` and yeah, weâre okay. ) ( ` he can finally take a proper breath. ) ( `Â now we are. )
