a happy death // joining

  [font=trebuchet ms]Lemy, it seemed, had a motor mouth. His questions were somewhat hard to follow, but Rin did her best to pay attention throughout his rambling. A specific mark for strangers didn't seem necessary, as she could keep track of who was and was not sworn in- she had it written down on paper in the house she'd sheltered in. Meetings were fairly well-attended, too, so that information was essentially public knowledge.

  Before she could say anything, Rin saw Winterwish swoop down and land a short distance away, commenting on Lemy's long-winded speech. Well, aside from having to swear the oath to get promoted (which was technically true, but in practice she'd gotten away with bending that rule), everything she'd said was accurate. Upon being referred to as "Rin-sama," however, Rin glanced off to the side, tugging at her scarf with one paw. "Just 'Rin' is fine," she muttered, twitching her ears. If Winterwish insisted on referring to her with such honorifics, Rin wouldn't stop her, but she preferred not to have joiners thinking they were necessary.

  Looking back at Lemy, she answered more loudly, "Yes, I can show you around." Turning around, she proceeded in the direction of the mountain. "If you'll follow me, I'll take you by the camp first. There's a pulley system that leads up the mountain."
