It was debated whether his brother's lack of response was a good thing or not, but when Shiki hadn't turned away from him or outright refused, it was decided it was a good thing. Rin moved closer to his brother, shifting his grip on the hilt of his sword in his fingers thoughtfully before he moved his arm under one of his brother's own before across his back. He made sure it was the side not hold his sword, as with two of them it'd be easier to fend off the creatures.

He wasn't even going to get into though about Linali's abilities; he appreciated them now, and would let the headache come when they were safe somewhere. He didn't say anything, as to let the moment of help pass by and be easier to forget for the both of them. Shiki didn't enjoy his help, and until he would appreciate it at least once, Rin would push the moment out of memory.

Rin had seen something called the Ersesat Manor on his map when he'd been viewing it beforehand, and decided this would likely be a good place to hold up. If it were like Arbitro's villa, there would be guards. And this meant distractions for the white creatures while Rin tended to Shiki.
