Message: <blockquote data-quote="Autumn" data-source="post: 3574636" data-attributes="member: 50015">Jina says nothing, but her defiant pout never fades as she watches her brother go. It's only after he's been out of sight for some moments that her expression softens, willful anger replaced by sadness. She was prepared to encounter resistance, of course, once Jango found out she had followed him. She thought she was prepared for that. But still, to hear such words from her brother... it hurts.  She refuses to let it get to her, though. She deliberately relaxes her posture, straightening her shoulders from the hunch they had started to fall into. She has to be strong, and stick to her resolve. She knows in her heart that Jango is wrong, that now more than ever he needs her to be there for him.  He was right about one thing: the two of them are adults now They are their own people. It's Jango's right to go off on this journey. And it's Jina's right to stick to him whether he likes it or not, and make sure her damn fool brother doesn't get himself killed or worse.  She gives a tough smile. Maybe it doesn't make sense, logically. But who needs logic when you have a sister's intuition?  Besides... this is an adventure. A real one. She's determined to enjoy it at least a little.  She gets up and strides up to the deck, ignoring Jango to go stand on the other side of the deck and look out on the water. She gives a long, slow yawning stretch and then grins, her eyes glittering as she takes in the new scenery. This is the life, and she'll be damned before she'll let anybody put her on a boat back to her sleepy hometown.</blockquote>
