Jin nods, and gets back to work. In light of that good news, he's able to relax a little. "That's a lucky break. Still, I had better take pains not to visit her anytime soon." Jin gives a slight smirk. "We did not part on the best of terms. I would hate for my presence to give our ace-in-the-hole any misgivings." Once it is finished cooking, he scoops the simple meat and vegetable stir-fry into a pair of plates, and offers one of them to Rachel. She would almost undoubtedly turn it down, but there was no reason not to be polite to the near-omnipotent being in his presence. |

Rachel raises a hand, refusing the plate. "Thank you, but no." she demurs. "My appetites remain the same, sadly. Nu is remarkably more stable, I will admit, since the mechanic's adoption of her as a sister. She is learning quickly." With a huff she seats herself nearby. "Though, I haven't seen action from Terumi or Relius since this action began. It makes me . . . concerned. They must be planning." |

Jin nods, and takes the plate for himself. While he had not been ungenerous in how much he made, a chase through the woods tends to leave you hungry. As he helps himself at a slow pace, he contemplates what Rachel has said. "Unfortunately, I was speaking of the mechanic by my last visit. Yukianesa took control, and I very nearly killed her. I do not anticipate that Rust will be very pleased to see me, though he must know that I am with you." Jin suddenly stops, frowning. "You do mean Rust, correct? Was he taken here alongside Nu? He is somewhat competent in a fight, but not on the level we need. Are all the mercenaries you recruited of his level?" |

"Ah." Rachel says with a nod. "Well, he seems to be on a streak of insulting old acquaintances. I doubt he'll see fit to stop with you. Feel free to take him down a notch, if you will." She glances aside. "Roughly of a level." Rachel notes, her brow wrinkling faintly. "Most of the rest are very nearly incapable of Seithr manipulation. But they are . . . talented, in their areas and despite their inadequacies, I suppose." |

Jin raises an eyebrow. "Insulting old acquaintances? That doesn't sound like Rust. Even when he rightfully told me to crawl into a gutter and die, he was rather polite about it. Who?" |

Rachel humphs. "Tsubaki, and Ragna by association." She flicks a lock of hair behind her ear irritably. "He was rather upset that when Nu was taken they did not take him along on the lead they found to her - as well that he had no help from them on his rescue. There was a rather profound demonstration of resentment over it in my front hall." Her nose wrinkles. "At least the rest have some form of manners. Most of them." |

Jin's voice cracks. "Ts-Tsubaki?" He asks, completely shocked. "She's...she's here? She's safe? How could you not tell me this!" Jin was out of the loop since the event at the spire, off training, with only cursory orders to distract the NOL for a recovery mission. "And...my brother's here too, then? I was hoping he wouldn't be...no such luck, I take it?" |

Rachel glances at Jin, a mild smile crossing her face. "Why." she says. "It must have slipped my mind. I do apologize." The smile falters a bit. "Though, you should be warned: they appear to be attached at the hip, as it were. I doubt you will manage to catch them seperately." |

"That is...unfortunate. Tsubaki is my friend, possibly my only friend, by this point. Reconciling with my brother will likely be a nasty affair, and one that will not come easily. I would not want her to think less of me for that..." Sighing, he gets back to eating. However, after one mouthful, he sets his fork down, and smiles a bit. "Wait...why would they be? You can't be serious, Rachel." |

"I am not." Rachel replies evenly. "And I would not, on a subject I know to be so vital. I can scry on them if you wish - I have no doubts they are even now wandering my halls like some freshly love-sick couple." She shakes her head. "'Tis not a pleasing thing to witness, I assure you." |
