“Hey now, depends on the situation.” He rumbles, flashing a smirk to Adam as they step down the stairs. Truth be told, Nate’s the only one that had gotten him like that, aside from Hotaru’s attempts. But he stuffs any other comments down until the alley is before them, his gaze peering into the distance, before they slip back to Adam. “Mm well, rumor has it that it‘s better than a normal bite. It’s like, it doubles the intensity. I wouldn’t know of course, but.” He trails off, hoping that perhaps it might soothe whatever worries Adam’s harboring in that regard.

As for his face? It’s less painful than it has been previously, but the bruising is still stark against his skin. “Dislocated my jaw. It’s fine, Nate put it back.” He explains, shrugging it off, not wishing to go into the details of how and why it had happened. As for options? Well, there were a few. “Well, we’ve got beaches and jungles, a Port of merchants… Disappearing islands…” Already Sunjata steps forward, sure Adam will follow him, heading toward the Port. At least once they’re there they can branch off to whatever else.

i'll stay awake 'til i trade my mistakes, or they fade away
