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.
[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.]
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.]
