[He's quiet after that, quiet and thoughtful, mulling that over. A lot of people say "I'll be okay" or "I'm fine" without it really meaning anything, but Stahn is an honest person, isn't he? So if he says it'll be okay, then - that must be true, to some measure. And that'll have to be good enough for Kashuu, because as much as he'd like to be certain that everyone is doing fine right now... Well, one - he knows that isn't the case. Not in a place like this. And two, regrouping has to happen after the danger has passed, which it hasn't.

So for now, he just nods after that thoughtfulness has ebbed.]

But everything has a limit.

[Because he likes Stahn a lot already. He likes this optimistic, bright person, who pulls others toward him like a burst of sunlight. It would be an awful thing for this sort of person to fizzle out or crash and burn.]

...D'you mind if I stay with you for a little while? We can split up when you go look for him. [So Kashuu doesn't have to find an awkward excuse to leave before Stahn delivers his warning.]
