Weight II

7)Jhin had sat across from Amaya, resting his arms along the surface of the table as he studies her curiously. She appeared to have something on her mind, and he doesn't appear too surprised when she came out with her idea in mind. He studies her for a brief moment, only to order himself steak with an assortment of vegetables. A lemon is accompanied with the items, though he oddly enough pours them over the vegetables.

8) All of this was done while weights continued to hamper his movements, leaving him to appear mildly strained as he moves with a deliberate purpose. His actions appeared sluggish, as if he had just waken up and decided to partake of something to eat, but his eyes were alert. His gaze meets her own as she speaks, idly cutting apart the steak with a portion of his concentration.

 9)"...You want me to assist you, in what way? You don't need to offer me money for my support, however. I consider you someone I can rely on, even if you're a bit private. I have no need for your yen, but perhaps you'll share some things about yourself, instead. Understanding you better would be preferable, if we are to fight alongside each other, no?" He inquires, making his own terms relatively clear. It'd be easier on her pockets, and it would prevent him from having to pry much further.

10) Jhin briefly glances toward the door with a raised eyebrow, but he had nothing much to say on the matter. Every movement he was accomplishing with these weights were training in itself, despite the fact that it was certainly less ideal than simply swinging his blade at an opponent. Despite this, it was a necessity to take himself to the next level, if he was going to accomplish the task of battling those who far outweighed his power. His eyes train themselves upon Amaya once more, as even the process of lifting his water required concentration.

 11)"Tell me everything you feel comfortable with. I wish to know your goals, how you fight, your fears, pet peeves, and why this tournament is important to you. I'm not after anything specifically, but I would like to come to understand you better." He explains, idly curling his free hand as he tries to adjust to the burdensome addition of the light weights. His muscles tense on occasion, and he felt his body heating itself up just by keeping his arm in the air for extended periods of time.

 12) With any luck, walking about with these weights constantly pressing down upon him would provide a boon worth acquiring. The second round of the tournament was coming soon, and he had to do his upmost to prepare. "I'm also curious as to what you think of those around you. Your opinion of Naraku, myself, Terran, and our other comrades. And why you decided to join under Narkau, as well."
