[ it's okay, no one needs any amount of free knowledge ]
...I didn't tell Rin. But the rest of them—mm. I'll let them know.
[ it's probably something they should discuss. since their survival is suddenly a pressing topic.
but he's willing to leave it at that, studying jonas briefly instead. though he doesn't know why that's something to keep secret, he nods steadily. he's not in the business of spreading gossip. ]
I'd practice with you. [ it doesn't matter if jonas isn't ~classically trained~ at kicking ass. if it's effective, it's effective. ] Thanks for offering. Even if it's not pleasant for you.
[ since this seems to be something he learned by necessity, and not for much else. ]
It can't hurt. If you're going to be a team, you may as well be on the same page. [ it's said with a little hint of something like irony, but he doesn't elaborate on it.
likewise, he doesn't mind being studied. he's used to shenhe flat-out staring at him, so, this is on par for the course. he does appear a touch relieved that haru seems to agree not to mention it, even if he might not know why and even if jonas has zero plans of elaborating at this moment in time. ]
It's not a big deal. I'd rather make sure you're able to help yourself than think about if it's pleasant or not. [ in the end, he'd rather not have to see someone else be erased knowing they probably never stood a chance. it might be too late for rin right now, but this is the least he can offer. he won't be offended if haru picks better options either, but as long as he knows he has options, that's good enough. ]
[ mysterious... but he doesn't really care what the reasons are. everyone has their secrets. sometimes you just don't tell anyone things until you explode. ]
Okay.
[ it's nice of people to offer to help him, because technically, it'd be better to just let him to fend for himself. it's a competition, after all. but as far as he's seen, it doesn't stop most everyone from making connections—offering these tiny olive branches that could snap.
he stares at the warehouse wall for a second, quiet. his voice is low and soft. ]
[ yeah, you just hold all your feelings until you die. that's the spirit. but he seems, well, maybe satisfied isn't the right word for it. content, maybe? he seems okay with haru accepting this. it's all he can do to make sure he doesn't totally fall behind and slip away.
but he does take that as a cue, considering how today went. ]
Sure. It's...important we stick together as long as we can. So don't forget that. [ ... ] And if there's anything else you think I could do, I don't mind hearing you out. Alright?
