Shiruba was conflicted. On one hand, he would be more than happy to refuse and leave as quickly as possible. He wanted to find Enide, wherever she was, though he suspected she was somewhere in the castle. He couldn't say the same about Jackie, who he suspected had most likely fled into the woods. And sure, he felt some pity about the situation she'd probably gotten herself, but his priorities placed Enide above anyone else, first and foremost. Well, that was disputable; more of a tie between her and himself. Regardless, he couldn't help but feel slightly jealous that she even had a father, even if he was an insane murderer. But, of course, it wouldn't be wise of him to say that out loud.
On the other hand, he'd most likely ran through every single corridor in the castle. If she was here, she would have had to have heard him, and she would've shown up by now. And she hadn't, not even to come to his aid. That wasn't like her at all, and he was plagued by the doubt that she wasn't here. Perhaps, he thought, in looking for this Jackie person, he might find her too? As much as he didn't agree with the decision, he didn't have a better option.
"Fine," he grumbled, half to himself, walking towards the exit. "I'm coming."
