Well, it isn't every day that Guts admits that the priests are right, if only in his head. As much as old warriors love to fight, some things should be left to the young.
"Wouldn't be the first time." he replies, full of a pithy bluntness.
Guts isn't picky with where and how he gets his blade, he just feels more at ease with one in hand than without. His relationship with the twins hadn't developed into anything more than a begrudging tolerance of each other, but the change wasn't unwelcome. Now he supposes he owes them a thanks, even if it had more to do with putting a body between Lashan and danger than his own comfort.
That was fine, it was not like he had any particular investment in the girl beyond getting an excuse for an outing. People died all the time, after all, and he was loathe to form any attachments. So they'll use each other to their own benefits.
With a better grasp of the horse beneath him, he turns Safflower away from the healer-priests and positions her parallel to Lashan's big geldling. She can hand it over and they can start heading out once he ties the belt snugly around his waist. He'd have to rearrange his dagger out of the way of the blade, but otherwise he was good to go. They're losing light making a more of a fuss of this than it needs to be.
