Even if he was being told to go, Jin’s heart still spluttered a bit over the casual way Ahn-Bo called him ‘Jin-a.’ If nothing else, it was a fragment of before that remained consistent after. And it mean Jin still had some, if only marginal, leverage to exert. He’d known he would face obstacles in getting Ahn-Bo to agree to anything; he was lucky to have come this far before facing the first.
Wiggling his fingers encouragingly, Jin only inclined his head. “Anieyo,” he parroted back, still smiling. “Let me just do this for you, jebal, Bo-ah.” He shouldered his sack and took a step closer, hand still outstretched. “I brought your favorite snacks,” he offered, more quietly this time. It might not be enough to tempt Ahn-Bo on food alone anymore, but Jin knew they had to eat before having this conversation. Everyone was grouchier on an empty stomach, himself included, and it was going to be dark soon.

* Jin takes potions and enchantments at times to give his voice a persuasive quality.
His performances, or even a simple conversation, can sometimes suggest thoughts
and ideas to his audiences.
