Jin hurried after them with the pouch held tight against his chest, while Shu walked ahead with the bat resting on one shoulder and Nari's hand in the other.
"Thank you," he said, bowing his head a little as he walked. "Really, thank you so much for helping me again."
Shu looked at him, then let out a small breath through his nose, his eyes moving over the bruises on Jin's face before he answered.
"It's all cool," he said. "Though, damn, you really do keep getting in trouble huh?"
Jin gave a weak laugh but that didn't last, as his fingers tightened around the pouch, like he still thought someone might jump out and take it again if he loosened his grip for even a second.
Shu stared at him for another second, then his brows lifted a little, "hold on," he said. "You're that kid from the hunter hall."
Jin blinked, then nodded quickly, relief actually flashing across his face for a second, since getting remembered felt better than getting pitied.
"Yes," he said. "My name is Jin."
