[jacob w.c.]

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — Jacob wasn't a fan of any sort of conflict and did his best to avoid anything that involved fighting, which included war. He wouldn't consider himself to have been part of a war but no one could correct him if he tried. While he'd never gone on a real battlefield, the cities had been a deadly place for someone bearing his names and he'd faced more danger than most did throughout the course of their lives. He even had mental and physical scars to prove as much. Jacob would never claim to have been part of a war, though, and he didn't reference his limp or his scars as battle trophies. If anything, he did his best to pretend they didn't exist. He even went as far as to cover them all up and do his best to counteract the damage that'd been done to his legs in the fire. Not only that but he'd seen more fighting and death than he'd ever wanted to. His Babbo had always been careful around him when it came to discussing or showing him such things but he'd been introduced to it eventually. It was just another part of the business, after all.

In any case, Jacob's thoughts wouldn't remain on such a dark topic for long as he heard a group of voices nearby, most of which he recognized. The chief changed direction and made his way towards the group, thankful to setting down for a moment. Killua and London had already spoken so he remained silent for the time being but he knew he'd have to speak up soon. The creature before them was massive and Jacob didn't want to get on his bad side. He cast an uneasy glanced to Killua as he spoke up but he stayed quiet for now. He'd wait to see what the man intended and then he'd make any decisions after that. As with all joiners, it was only fair to give him an opportunity to speak, even if he was a bit more intimidating than their usual inhabitants.
—A GREAT HONOR TO HOLD YOU UP
