[ The communicator is being held by Eko's familiar, Yurine--she seems to like filming him for some reason--so he is a short distance away in profile, looks like on a rooftop, yanking pieces of his battered, sliced, and bloody armor off one by one. They dissolve into black feathers and gold sparks before they hit the ground. He looks like he's been through a war, but the emotion in his movements and in his voice is savage, barely suppressed excitement. ]
[ He's talking to himself again, although maybe he's talking to Yurine. ]
--more than I had hoped for, even in this wasteland. He is far more powerful than the other of his world. Did thou not see, Yurine? Did he not remind thee of Kamaitachi? It seems more than coincidence, after all this time.
We will have to see him again. And that human bearing Nue's face. But at full power, I think. How unexpectedly--
[ Now he turns enough to catch sight of the communicator, and there is literally no inch of him not covered in blood. ]
--I should not have allowed thee the use of that toy. Art thou so bored?
[ a smile, moving close to rest his hands on her shoulders, and the video feed is nothing but black due to his proximity ]
Let us go hunting, then. The city has gifted us so generously, after all, with such a bounty of fresh meat. It would be ungracious to waste it.
[ so gently ]
Would it not?
