I don't know about cover, since they have to keep helping us a secret from the rest of their cult. But if they're using us as an excuse to get out when they already wanted to, that's fine with me.
We don't really need their reasons, we just need their help.
[He doesn't really have battle lust, so he's not, like, chomping at the bit to start slaughtering cultists or anything, and he certainly won't complain if they make it out peacefully--but he's known very, very few situations like that, so he's mostly just waiting for the fighting to start.]
[His thoughts are that he's not surprised all religious groups are shit and if his god sucks then of course this one does too, but he doesn't say that because he knows that's not what she's asking. He looks away, his gaze focused on seemingly nothing on the ground. After a moment--]
[So if the cultists really want to try, then they might as well let them. Kanda would... possibly intervene, if it happened where they could see it, but he has no inclination to fret over the potential fates of their kidnapper-adjacents.]
Mm. Or that they don't want us for something else.
[What that would be, he doesn't know, but it's just general agreement regardless--that they don't know anything about the four, so it would be foolish to sit around and trust them to be their saviors.
He turns away, then, and reaches up to tighten his hair tie; if she's standing at an angle, she might catch a glimpse of the words Alma Karma on his back, partially hidden by his ponytail. It's hard to say whether he's aware of it or not, because he's busy muttering:]
Two months around all those loud people... [HIS NIGHTMARE]
[ NO MY WRONG THEY'RE. anyway. right, yeah, she hasn't been hiding her tattoo at all because there's just no way to do that in a t-shirt and shorts. so she has MONSTER across her left arm.
she perceives his tattoo but she is polite so she won't comment for now... ]
He's blind, so he listens to our vitals and detects enemies when we fight. [Marie... that's his teammate... one of the few people in the world he likes, even though he still probably wouldn't call him a friend openly.] But he can make adjustments.
[Rather, he assumes Marie must be able to adjust it because otherwise his head would've exploded from all the chaos that is constantly going on at their HQ]

[Like the vibe of mass-unlocking all the cells in a prison and running off while the guards are distracted with the inevitable prison break
But he doesn't disagree with her, so he nods slightly. And then thinks for a moment.]
Can you fight? [He'll get around to reading the profiles now that they're stuck here for the foreseeable future, but not yet]
no subject
[ too bad they don't totally know if that situation would be good or bad for them. ]
My parents taught me some self-defense, so... Yeah, a little bit.
[ not as much as sword wielding soldier types, but. a little. ]
no subject
Be ready.

What are your thoughts on the partners thing?
no subject
Being bound isn't worth it.
no subject
That seems to be the popular opinion. It's dangerous. And without knowing exactly what extra strength it will give us, that's an especially high cost.
no subject
I don't need extra strength. [Kanda would not fight Satan for fun and profit] I just need to be able to activate my Innocence.
no subject
Have you asked the cultists about it?
no subject
They want to try other things first. [Before fighting... which Kanda actually isn't against, he just thinks it's probably a waste of time]
no subject
[ but she's also kind of like. is that going to accomplish anything. probably not. ]

We should try not to be too reliant on them.

Yeah. That's why I asked for earplugs.
no subject
He tilts his head slightly.]
Earplugs?
no subject
More convenient than noise cancelling headphones.
no subject
After a moment:]
I know someone with headphones. But they help him hear. [He's never heard of noise-cancelling ones before... hunh...]
no subject
My hearing is sensitive, though. So these are to help in the opposite way.
