Why're you sorry? Is it your fault Jin decided to show up in this world somehow? Don't be stupid.

[God forbid Ragna tell even his brother that there's no need to be sorry in a normal way. As for the other thing...]

... As long as you stay out of his way, he won't give a shit about anyone else. But he'd do anything it takes to track me down. He did in our past life.

[...]

That's when and if he remembers me at all. I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna take the chance that he won't remember. Not in this stupid town...

I know telling you to stay away from me is gonna go in one ear and out the other. But if you try and get between us and he does remember he will try and fight. He's a bitch ass motherfucker but he's not someone you want to take lightly.

No, but... [He falls quiet, as if mulling something over, before he says:] Krusnik wanted him. I heard them speak of it, once. They weren't happy that he seemed nowhere to be found.

[He says nothing about his own feelings about it, nor how he found out about it: because he'd overheard them complaining that they'd gotten the wrong kid. We got the Westerosi bastard and not Kisaragi, what the hell kind of bad luck is that?

He bumps Ragna's shoulder in sympathy instead, and for some time is quiet. Then:]

If he tries to come after you, I'm taking you and getting you out of there. I won't allow him to hurt you for any offense he imagines a past life did to you.

Tch... of course they did. Between his power and his sword, that's the perfect storm for those monsters to snatch one more goddamn piece of fodder.

[... Ragna didn't even want to consider what Krusnik would be like with someone who held the Power of Order. Of course that all hinged on if any flavor of Jin would give enough of a damn.

... he had some principles last time Ragna saw him. Last time "Ragna the Bloodedge" did anyway.]

Johan...

[God, he's really become a man. His scared little brother...

... in both his lives. Have become so strong. He'd be proud of things weren't so complicated. At least he can feel it more comfortably with Johan.]

It's gonna come to blows eventually. It's just a matter of time. And if we can get out of there, he'll just track us both down.

... Just be my back-up when the time comes.

His sword? Why, what's the thing do?

[Is it like Longclaw and Brightroar and all those other swords made of Valyrian steel, so sharp they could cut through anything like a hot knife through butter? That can't be right, though, there must be something else entirely about it that's caught their attention.]

Of course. I'd be offended if you tried to tell me to keep away from you for my own safety. [Jon has seen so much, at this point.] He can try. You're my brother. If he wants to lay a finger on you he'll have to get through me first.

[Which is, let's be honest, easy enough, because Jon can't hope to stand up against Jin's power. Still.]

[deadpan:]

Do you want the short bullshit answer or the long one?

[Rubbing his temples. He's going to give the short with the heavy implication that it is considerable more goddamn complicated.]

Nox Nyctores: Yukianesa. It's a katana that lets him control ice. It's also a kind of weapon from my past life that fucks with the wielder's brain and makes them go fucking psycho if they can't prove they're stronger than it.

[It's a Whole Thing, but thinking about it too deep made Ragna's head spin too much right now.]
