[ How nostalgic that demand for information, for reciprocation, is. How often had he heard it from Naruto? A lecture to a demanding party, much louder and ruder than Stiles's is now, forcing them to introduce themselves first or offer some kind of cooperation first before asking it of him. So nostalgic that it immediately inspires his own response, in fact. ]
There's an outspoken chain of command. [ You're welcome. ] My name is Sasuke, and if I'm going to protect you then I need to know you'll default to my orders. I have no intention of telling you to do things that would put you in greater danger, but the opposite. In that respect, I need you to listen to me.
[ Which is a lot for this seemingly terse man to offer up, particularly in the wave of information which Stiles next shares. He stands still, unmoving, uncharacteristically patient through the side tangents and disorganized way in which this young man's insights are presented. Really... it's impressive. Impressive that he's gleaned so much so fast, and seemingly without any additional advantage through natural powers of persuasion or insider connections. He can appreciate that, even through the wordiness.
And he certainly is wordy. ]
I didn't visit that place. "World's End". I've heard about it but only in passing, and I didn't question anyone on it further. That's first of all... Secondly, Aetós– [ He pauses momentarily, now actively questioning his own pronunciation. Don't perceive him. ]
Aetós is a figure who's attracted a lot of attention lately. I believe he's engineering monsters which have been mechanically displaced. There are hordes within Alenroux which appear at night, and I've engaged with them. Beyond that, I'm not certain.
The pins... I don't have more info there either. But that will be the easiest fact to change. If we desire an audience, I can make that happen. If we desire a pin or two, I can make that happen also. [ And it's said with a level of confidence that is honestly believable. Or at least it's believable that he believes it. ]
I came here because I wanted to investigate this area. If you're going to be following me, you'll benefit from the added protection.
