You were using fighting words.

[ Like lowkey calling him a dumbass. Who wouldn't think that someone would want to fight after that? Even though he was doing the exact same thing?? (In his defense he was just being direct and honest, obviously something the monks have been avoiding to keep Rin... uneducated.)

At least he can read, do math, and score higher than a 68 unlike some people here. ]

Ha, that was fast.

[demonly]

Yeah, well, so were you.

[ Slowly, he lets the last of his momentary aggravation fizzle out of his demeanor - he'll play nice again because he's 5 and gets over things quickly if they're small. ] It ain't exactly hard to get to the Monastery if ya know what yer doing - it's freakin' huge. [ Which means that even though it didn't take long to get to the base, it would take ages to walk around the entire thing. And luckily for both of them, they saved time since Mr. I Have No Sense of Direction had made some progress on getting there before Rin came across him. ] I go up and down the mountain pretty often, so I know all the fastest ways.

[ He keeps his hand on the side of the cliff while they scale the consecutive ledges to the Monastery's base. ]

This is the easiest way up. Since the ledges are all even 'n stuff.

[eusford]

I was just being honest. There's a difference. [ Not really, but who's going to argue against it besides Rin? And to be perfectly frank his opinion and input doesn't really matter considering Crowley's current argument opponent is like... five. ]

It's my first time coming up.

[ So cut him slack. He's an old man and very tired okay.

But more importantly he has a question that has been sitting idly on his tongue, questioning how he should word it before he decides to just go with what is easiest: ] This friend of mine isn't the type to come out in the sun, either, so that's why I couldn't be guided here by him. He's a real lazy guy, don't think? [ Very subtly trying to see if whether or not Rin was even familiar with the Scarback he's after. ]

[demonly]

[ He makes a grumbly noise while he files through the images of different monks in his head, trying to match the characteristics Crowley described to a face. ]

Uh, yeah, I guess there's a few people like that up here. Some Uncles just like staying at the Monastery and stuff. [ That didn't necessarily mean they were lazy!!! ] They've got lot to do with all their worship.

Yer gonna have to be a bit more specific.

[eusford]

Yeah but this Uncle... he just can't go outside. He'll get sick.

[ Or catch on fire, as Crowley has had the misfortune to learn. The only reason he's able to walk freely today was because of the band around his arm, but even with that he needed to cover a majority of his body to keep himself from feeling sluggish...

In fact, why did he have this? Where did it come from? It wasn't created for him specifically after the reveal of his illness... it was always there, always with him. Always. ]

He-- [ His head throbs, which causes him to hiss in pain and abruptly stop in his tracks as a hand comes to his forehead. His brows furrow, irritation and pain evident as his body leans forward, feeling as if someone was pressing down on his shoulders and wanting to force him to his knees.

He isn't hungry, he made sure to drink before coming here, and the pain wasn't similar to when he was starving...

Ultimately Crowley doesn't even realize that his nose is also bleeding until red falls and peppers the Earth below his feet. ] Shit.

[ what?? the fuck is going on. ]

[demonly]

[ He was about to make a statement about how he thinks he knows who Crowley's talking about now, but is sidetracked to Crowley's sudden health issues. ]

Oh, shit, are ya okay? [ Rin is immediate to scramble back for the other, looking ready to catch him if he was about to faint. Crowley is an old, frail man in comparison to Rin's young and healthy stature. ] I forget some people ain't used to the altitude up here. [ Which is what he assumes must be the cause of the nosebleed and headache. ] We should take a break so ya don't pass out or anything!!

[eusford]

[ Whatever this is why Rin is gonna age like a fucking banana and Crowley is gonna stay being the finest wine. Enjoy your dirty thirties you fucking asshole. ]

Yeah.

[ He lied. His head throbs, vision blurred as the floor looks marbled and worn instead of soft Earth. Something is thrown to his feet but when he blinks it's no longer there, and slowly the world and its reality slowly comes back together. ] We don't need to take a break. [ Bringing the back of his hand to his face he rubs it against his nose, blood dirtying his glove. ]

... Gross.

[demonly]

...Ya sure?

[ He makes a face at the blood coming from the other's face, not exactly buying that he was A-OK to continue scaling the mountain. If he had had anything on him that would be useful to wipe his nose with, he would've given it to him, but alas. ]

I don't wanna have to carry ya the rest of the way if ya faint. 'S not like we're in a rush.

[eusford]

You'd fall over and pass out yourself if you tried carrying me. [ Because Rin looks frail and tiny. Crowley's a whole head taller than him and obviously has more weight, so any attempt at carrying him would result in them being stranded here until Crowley's back on his feet.

Not to say that he's off them, because he's certainly making the effort to go on. ]

Nah, I gotta hurry up.

[demonly]

I told ya, I'm stronger than I look.

[ But Rin won't continue to argue if the other truly wants to go on. Just don't come crying to him if you feel bad later. ]

Coming here ain't a walk in the park. [ He kicks a rock aside and checks over his shoulder one last time before beginning to walk again. ] If yer so rushed to get to the Monastery, why didn't ya come up with a good plan to get up here? Doesn't make a whole lotta sense.

[eusford]

It's none of your business.

[ There's not a hint of irritation in his voice, continuing to rub at his face with his hand until he can no longer smell the strong tang of blood in his nose. But even if there's only remnants it clings to him like soggy clothes; another reminder that he's far from human yet close to the person who made him this way. ]

I don't wanna hear what does and doesn't make sense from someone who's never had any proper tutoring.
