Hello Reira. How nice it is, seeing that you've recovered your tongue.

[He had been startled by her earlier messages. The incoherency was out of character, not to mention the fact she was contacting him in the first place. But now he's aware of the poachers, the mass kidnappings, the garbled translation software.

He's also aware of the doppelgangers.]

Are you telling the truth?

The fake you used something that made it hard to talk. And write.

I don't lie, I'm not going to start to lie for something dumb.

[wow tell him how you really feel huh

Well, at any rate it seems she at least Thinks she was attacked by a fake, which is as close to confirmation as she can really deliver in the end.]

[Yes, he is very familiar with Reira's aversion towards lying.

He pauses for a long time. He considers.]

Why are you telling me this?

[Because Tsukikage keeps telling her not to lie by omission.

And also, a little more primarily, she sort of hopes Aunamee will kill the double, but anyway,]

Because it's fair.

If a fake you attacked other people, they could say you did it, even though you didn't this time. [Y'know, like a Lie.]

[Another, even longer pause.]

Thank you, Reira. I'll deal with the problem.

[Read: He's going to kill the double.]

Do you still have his blood?

[She did ultimately declare they were 'even' now (even if they really really aren't on his end) after all.

She just doesn't have to start liking him.

There is some pause before she answers about the blood however.]

It's dried on my spear. I didn't clean it yet.

Does that count?

[Perhaps, he thinks, but doesn't say.]

Do you have any of his clothing?

No.

I don't know what it was but what he used for my talking took everything else too. I just ran after stabbing him through the kneecap.

I don't think I would even be able to have his blood if I tried to get the clothes. They probably would have taken what I had.

That's all right, Reira. I wouldn't expect you to put yourself at risk.

Where did you last see him?

[Ooof, it really should not be a comfort that it's 'alright'. It really shouldn't.

But, Reira does send a precise address and location while pouting at her message process.]

I don't think he lives near there, but that's where it was.

There's also where Tsukikage found the others though. [She'll give that address without prompting as well- it's just the same place most of the others broke out of, ultimately.]

Good.

This doesn't absolve you, Reira. But I'll remember it.
