Fujiwara's expression tensed up even further as the thief continued to plead with him and Paka. The groveling, the attempted invocation of sympathy... It irked him to no end. To be honest, trying to argue with such a character felt as if he was arguing with a child more than someone older than him. Yui's naive words only seemed fall on deaf ears, and at this point Fujiwara simply took a deep breath and began to speak.

"I've already stated my position and have no desire to listen to someone who insists on trying to invoke pity for themselves like you are right now. As I've said before, I haven't a smidgen of trust for you, no matter how much you try and ask to join. You've proven your character and it's one I'd rather not associate with. Now, if that matter's settled I'll be leaving. I've had enough of this nonsense, so good luck trying to survive you petty thief." he said sharply before quickly heading off to scour the town for information. As he left, he turned back to Paka and shouted a few parting words.

"I'll meet up with everyone else in a bit; if you see Ayame, tell her that I'm off looking for something to calm me down!" he shouted before walking away from the two of them and towards... Well, even he didn't know.
