[he turned at being addressed to, but he had to take a moment to stare at the...cat? that was standing there.

he was sort of used to seeing weird things in this place, but this was kind of new.]

...Somarium.

[this world keeps bringing in weirder and weirder things.]

[hastablemanners]

[Is it really that weird? You'd think these people had never seen another beastkin in their life!]

You know yer way 'round this town? Reckon I must have wandered in here by mistake.

[hatesviolence]

[at least not in person.]

I've been around for a while so...pretty much, yeah. [a beat as he looks at him.] Need to go somewhere?

[hastablemanners]

Lookin' for a place called Kagutsuchi. Ever heard of it?

[hatesviolence]

No.

But you won't be able to get to it from here anytime soon, sorry. You're not in your own world anymore.

[hastablemanners]

[Somehow all the mucking around of time and space in his own world makes this revelation more of an annoyance than any real surprise.]

And I'm supposin' no one here knows how to get back, neither.

[hatesviolence]

There was this guy sayin' something about broken gates or something. [shrugs.]

People leave...just randomly, I guess.

[hastablemanners]

[So basically no, then.]

You ain't lookin' too bothered by it, if you don't mind me sayin' so.

[hatesviolence]

I wasn't too thrilled about it when I first got here, but can't really do much about it. Might as well just stick it out.

'Sides, I have some friends here and I've met new people.

Wouldn't mind goin' home, but it ain't so bad once you get used to it.

[plus no one really freaks out or is that scared of him when he uses his strength, which is a nice difference from home.]

[hastablemanners]

Well, in light of the stuff folks've got waitin' fer em back home, that don't sound too bad at all.

[hatesviolence]

[nods.

...and stares at him for a moment before finally asking what had been on his mind for a while.]

...Are you really a talking cat?

[hastablemanners]

...Don't tell me you ain't worked that one out yet, son.

[hatesviolence]

Can never tell in this place.
