I don't know all of you as well as you may know one another, and I can admit that. Do you suppose it's possible that someone brought ill will with them as they were preparing to return home?
Don't give me attitude. You don't have the right to be annoyed with me right now.
[ bristling. ]
You're saying that we came here because of an accident with portals. You gave us these stupid hair ties to ward off magic and ill intent that might have followed us from our last prison into this one. Is that correct?
Ah? [hikage gets a brief pause.] I think you may be projecting there a bit, that was kind of a genuine question. [some people are bad with theoreticals just like people are bad at sarcasm or reading a room.]
Yes. That's correct. But there's a difference between something accidentally coming through and someone who may have purposefully done so.
[ well, considering that he's here now and already decided that Tiger and Dragon betrayed him due to that, this information isn't surprising. He grunts, dismissive. ]
We're sort of an in-between. This is our camp, and you're here while we work to separate you from whatever may have followed and set the portals right to get you home. Mostly the latter.
