It was time to get moving because I really didn't feel like dying today. Cirno was definitely starting to get frustrated with my impromptu leadership, which could become a problem. Understandably, she was annoyed after gaining nothing herself despite us losing both a potential new item and me giving away an old one.
Yes, I could have bluffed. Or actually fought to the death over the drop. I'd probably have won, should I have been more assertive. But I just wasn't feeling it. Not today. That said, I did regret it. It wasn't particularly infuriating, however; I'm not an angry person. Anger is useless. Anger is irrational. Anger will only make your situation worse. And now, I was going to deal with this situation by moving to a better location. Maybe back to the mountains again. I didn't want to head in the same direction as the old mage.
Even more annoyingly was the fact my arm was still somewhat broken. Superficially, it looked fine. But internally it definitely was not. I suspected there was still some fracturing, or maybe the bone hadn't completely fused back into place. The swelling, however, had gone down. And I could at least feel my hand at this point. Quickly, I fashioned a splint on my arm to reinforce it while taping it down. Hopefully, it wouldn't snap with a slight knock, but it definitely was not durable - there was no way I'd swing my longsword or hold a shield with it. Maybe use a shortsword for feints, if the need came. But that did still risk undoing the healing that cost so much.
"Cirno. We're going now." I walked towards the door.
"Idiot." She glared from within the icy cocoon that was forming around her.
"Cirno. There's no time for this. We need to get going."
"Fine. But next time, I'm calling the shots. And we're going to beat everyone." All the ice around her shattered as she finally got up to follow me.
"That's the spirit."
And so we headed off, back to the mountains.

Quote:Team Dane (Dane and Cirno) moving from Safehouse A to A4. Dane isn't bothering to stealth just yet.
From Sage's post earlier: Dane has healed 1hp, Dane's right arm has been healed from broken-as-fuck to just ‘broken’.
As noted, Cirno has not been healed.
