As they delved deeper into the humid, pulsing heart of the forest, the "nanny" routine began in earnest. Johnn wasn't just fighting; he was curating the environment for Maddy. If a stray vine so much as leaned toward her path, Johnn's tonfa was there to swat it aside with the delicacy of a butler clearing a cobweb.
"Careful, Maddy! Don't step on that damp patch—might be a sludge trap!" he'd chirp, literally using his cape to sweep a path for her.
Maddy's eye twitched. She felt less like an adventurer and more like a porcelain doll being carried through a hurricane. Every time her hand even twitched toward her own blade, Johnn would let out a dramatic gasp.
"Ah-ah! Partners don't let partners get sap on their gear! Watch the master at work!"
