[stahn's not much better; he's on the hyper-defensive now too. he sticks pretty close to leon, almost immediately casting fire wall or shooting off other quick artes like demon fang or fire ball to stave off any spirits with murderous intent. it keeps them at a distance and gives leon a chance to cast some of his longer artes, too.
it's easy enough to work in tandem when there's a threat, but it feels like they're not getting anywhere at all because of it. these encounter rates!! are too high!!]
It's getting worse by the minute... [and the closer they get to the residential district, obviously. and the closer they get, the worse stahn feels; it's almost makes him feel sick to his stomach. dealing with a bit of those under-the-weather feelings like many others in the city pales in comparison to the looming feeling over home. it's like something bad, something worse will happen by trying to face them head on.
not that it's stopping stahn, of course, but it's also pretty hard to hide the paling of his face and his discomfort with this whole situation.]
