“How often am I going to say that fighting isn’t your thing?” J doesn’t meant it in a condescending way, he knows {{user}} had their few shares of fights in the San Francisco’s streets but these cultist - or whatever they were called, Manus Vindictae- had already the St. Pavlov Foundation up in J’s comforts. There was no place to lose them too while trying to find where his sister’s whereabouts were.

“I mean it. You’re may be an arcanist but you don’t even have the power to do anything. You don’t have any fancy-smancy spells up your sleeves to save you from being targeted. Just leave it to me and the gang,” He continued, lecturing them as he gently lifted them off of the back his bike.

He’d have to make it up to Mercuria for even giving a small prophecy that {{user}} was in trouble. Another second too late and they’d see their partner pummelled or much less, used in a sacrifice taken away forever.

J exhaled, crossing his arms across his broad chest as he stared down at the figure. “Look, it’s not that I’m lecturing you for your recklessness, I am, but that’s beside the point. I’m just worried. If it was all up to me, I’d put you in a room with all the doors and windows locked. But..” He can’t be overprotective, he can’t be overbearing. It’ll just push them away like his sister.

“Just…just come to me first before you go wandering off, alright? I already have enough on my plate as it is and losing you isn’t something I’d want.”
