[font=trebuchet ms]Rin most certainly wasn't the type to willfully dispose of a powerful asset simply because it was alien to her. In fact, now that she had some idea of what Nemhain could do, she didn't want to even risk losing her- so she had to know of any potential risks. To lose the power of a fenghuang who could skewer a snake in one quick strike and spray ice shards from her breath, all because of a stupid oversight like letting them get too far away from each other...
...or letting her get too far away from Elysium, apparently, was unthinkable. Rin supposed it made sense that leaving behind something so important would weaken the strength of her will, or however that worked. "Guess I shouldn't send you out to deliver gift baskets, then," she remarked- mostly as a joke, but there were real risks involved. After the Warrior's surprise attack, she couldn't take any trip between groups for granted. "Just in case."
As Sanzu approached, Rin turned her attention to the young dragon. The gravity with which she presented such riveting ideas as "it's super fun here" drew a half-smile from Rin. "I suppose you could say that," she replied, with a shrug. It was clear Sanzu didn't really understand the significance of death, although given how often the dead dragged themselves out of the afterlife... well, even then, not everyone was that lucky, or that willing.
Her expression returning to its neutral state, she let out a small sigh, then turned back to Nemhain. For as long as Elysium would have her, she would stay- Rin could say the same for herself. Despite her initial skepticism, she was beginning to see how they were on the same page more and more often.
"Elysium will have you for as long as they have me, I assume," she replied, with a nod. That would last, at least, until the last god fell- once the curse was broken, Elysium would have to evaluate whether or not they were willing to keep her around. So long as Rin was staying, however, it only made sense to keep her stronger companion as well.
A thought arose, in the dark recesses of her mind, that neither of them had considered what might happen if Elysium were to cease to exist- but she shoved it down. She wasn't going to let that happen again. "Since you can act on your own... is there anything you do for fun?" Rin asked instead, mostly as an effort to distract herself. It was entirely possible Nemhain spent all of her time flying over the territory and searching for people, but if she did anything else, Rin had to admit she was curious as to what it was.
