Well, if you'd like the opinion of someone who's also played with the fates of others in the past -- it's entirely possible they put us here both for a given purpose and for their own selfish desires.
[M-Maybe he shouldn't talk so casually about the shadier things he's done in the past, knowing that there's still a lot Mipha doesn't know about... nor compare himself to the Natha while shit-talking them in the same breath, smh.]
But honestly, at this point, I'd be satisfied with this not being some kind of hilariously obvious trap. We weren't exactly given much choice by the Natha to come here -- but it's just as likely those in Nadril may simply wish to use us as well, to gain influence over the Natha they seem to despise.
[Well she did ask, so she can't really get upset or anything about the answers he gives her, even if it's a bit concerning. Sometimes it's easy for her to forget that he's a demon and what all that means. Not that it changes anything--she loves him, of course, but it does mean she gets an...interesting perspective when she asks for his point of view on these things.
She falls quiet again, feeling a bit like a headache is coming on, and at length she speaks softly] I'm... Very tired. [It's exhausting, all of this. She's never been one to fall into fits of selfishness, but even she's getting tired of being the leader-type, trying to figure things out, keep everyone happy, be diplomatic. No rest for the weary, apparently.]
Then rest. We're at least a day out-- give or take, depending on the weather. So long as I have my familiar with me [As if on cue, the little bat appears in a poof overhead, floating aimlessly through the cold wind without even flapping its wings.] we should run into no problems as we pass through.
[It's a demon known for granting safe passage through storms, after all. And besides that, this is Mephisto -- he won't even need to stop and rest, unless it starts getting too cold for Mipha without shelter.]
[Normally she might have protested more--she's rather infamous by now for not taking breaks or rests when she needs them, why should this be any different? But it's Mephisto. She can be a tiny bit selfish, allow herself to be a little bit more vulnerable.
She snuggles a little closer to him] ...Yes. Alright. Thank you, Mephisto. [Mipha tilts her head to look at him, contemplating. Their relationship is a strange one, but she can't deny how happy he makes her and how much she loves him still. She just wished she had more opportunities to show it.
She feigns sudden surprise.] Oh! You've got something on your cheek. [She leans up then and kisses his cheek, before smiling lightly.] It was only a kiss, but don't worry. I took care of it.

Oh, but my dear! Now you've gotten it on your lips! Hold on--
[ATTACKS HER WITH SMOOCHES which probably looks bizarre for all that he's got her wrapped up inside his coat.]
[They'll never make it to Nadril at this rate.]
