Haaah, no one could deny how good it felt to be out in the cold like this. It made everything quiet for sure, but it also brought about a sense of dread to those not used to being out for so log by themselves. To be honest, Jounoichi wondered himself why he would be out like this if the last time he got attacked. Maybe because its happened so much that passively walking outside is much better than hiding inside scared of leaving.
Besides, he was a lot stronger and had his throwing knifes! Even if something attacked, he wasn't unarmed!
"That being said, I probably shouldn't jinx myself. Just because I can fight doesn't mean I can purify. I didn't pass the Exam after all." He sighed at that. It didn't bother Joey as much as it did the first time, though looking at the scars didn't help much either.
