[font=trebuchet ms]Facing Playerone as she spoke, Rin swiveled her ears to listen in, giving her full attention. Absorbing her apology, Rin allowed her thoughts to wander only briefly when Play took a moment to pause. Not thinking about her words before stating them would explain a lot, especially seeing as how Play was injured when this had all been going on. Noticing the nervous way in which Play held her wings close, Rin lifted her brows slightly, her expression becoming just a bit softer than normal.
Once Play finished her explanation, Rin nodded. "I get it," she said, her ears twitching. "I really do. It's... hard to let that go." Tugging at her scarf, she added, "But I'm glad you understand where Lavi was coming from. And of course I forgive you." She'd never written anyone off for something this minor, let alone a friend whom she'd known for years.
As Play began to explain her concerns about the festival, Rin listened quietly, her brows furrowing once more. The possibility of the gods striking again... she couldn't discount it, even if the odds were low. Nodding along, she allowed a sigh to leave her once Play was done.
"...It'd be stupid of them to attack when there are other people here," she commented finally, glancing up at the clouds. "Which, I don't know. It's possible no one will show up, like what happened at the market festival. But if there are people from all the other clans here, it'd be far more advantageous to a hostile god to wait until they're all gone to attack." Sitting and curling her tail around her paws, she went on, "...It's possible a god like Mercury might take such a chance. He's associated with trade and travelers, after all. But he's not really a combat-focused god, to my knowledge."
Looking down at the snow, then up at Play, she shrugged. "So probably, it'd be the best use of our time to prepare for a potential attack before the festival starts, and after the festival ends. We should probably all stick together before the opening ceremony, and during and after the closing ceremony."
Feeling her ears swivel back, she said, "We'll keep an eye out. But if we wait to hold this thing until all the gods are dead... that could take months. And they're only going to get stronger."
