As before, Endrance held the door open to the new area. The pit of his stomach dropped as he walked through the doors himself - the area smelled antiseptic and cold, as if there was no question that unspeakable things could happen here. He hugged his arms to himself, as if trying to warm himself before going further.

"Do either of you have a map from here?"

Oh, if only this was The World, where accessing a map was as easy as pressing a button!

So perhaps he was being a bit paranoid--he smirked at Renamon teasing him. He relaxed his stance but not his guard, going back to his usual stride. Jiraiya knew that there were many ways for a hall to not be as empty as it seemed.

This place so far was fond of the obvious threats, but it wouldn't surprise Jiraiya if it went for something a bit more subtle. Or if even some of the patients liked to prey on others. It was those instincts that had kept him alive for so long.

Jiraiya shrugged in response to Renamon, finally, and then kept on going. She could find him silly if she wanted to. His movements were relaxed, despite his watchful eye. No doubt it was the same with Renamon.

... Also, he thought too much, sometimes.
