paranoid in every paragraph -- explanation

[Hope Arcanium]

Player was used to introductions from gods and even mortals such as the one Nemhain did, even less kinder ones, and therefore was indifferent to the ‘power’ the being had. The respect she had however was from the bird being an extension of Rin’s personality. She was her friend, and as long as that creature came from Rin, she would consider the bird her friend as well.

Addressing the fox-feline hybrid as a mortal nearly made her laugh. Not because of pride, but because Player, even though she herself didn’t know entirely what she was, she did know she was immortal. If all of her experiences didn’t solidify that fact, then what else did? Her energy was powerful, along with her presence, as was told to her by everyone she had been around. Or most, at least. And that had to mean something, right?

She understood all of what was going on, had seen similar things happen before in the past, many times. And one of several possibilities could happen. The one she didn’t like the most was a riot taking place right then and there.

Using that powerful presence, she stood up from the crowd, seeing Rin wincing even the slightest bit in pain made her feel worried for the first time during this meeting of sorts.

And she burned her bandages? That was a new one. With her bag, Player walked through the crowd, all the way up to Halo and Rin, and sat down on the other side of her. “Easy, Rin. You need to let yourself rest. Let me fix your bandages at least before there’s too much exposure to the cold, alright?”

Her words were soft, and she would begin working if allowed to do so.

“Just wanna let ya know, I support you, and I’ll help you slay some puny gods. They’re no match for us unified.” Trying to keep the situation lighter, and give her some reassuring words, and even a smile at some point.

As much as she agreed with everyone around, she wouldn’t add into the drama already building, and would wait to speak with Rin about it alone. Maybe provide some advice, since she needed it, badly. That she could do for her anytime. Anything for a friend, but as a friend she also had to call her out on what she did wrong, and perhaps how to fix it.

For now, she remained to quietly work and be a shoulder to lean on.
