[He meets that flat look with a miffed one of his own, his arms loosening from around his back to dangle in front of him.]
Search me. I know about as much about it as Chaos guy or any of the others do, honestly. [Granted, he has fought more Night Terrors than Zeke has, not to mention created a Disturbance himself, but... something about being considered an expert at this sort of thing made him itch. It's not like he wanted to be as involved as he has with them or anything...] Anyone who's been in at least two of them could tell you the same.
[... is he dodging the fact that he caused one himself?? Probably!! But it's still a sore subject to bring up around others, even a year afterwards.
His annoyed look melts into something more pensive as he chews on what Olruggio says, however, eyes momentarily focused elsewhere.]
But... you're right about that much, at least. The weather patterns, I mean. We got some kooky storms in this part of Japan, so typhoons or blizzards aren't exactly out of the norm...
[He lapses into silence as a thought hits him, a fragment of a conversation he's had with Ai in the past, and his gaze shifts back over to Torch, curiously.]
... how much did they tell you, exactly, when you got here? Did they mention anything about the Vale disconnecting a couple of years ago?
no subject
