[Leo sounds tired as he starts the recording, but this is easier than typing right now. His hands still hurt.]

Now that everyone's had a few days to recover from that disaster, does anyone have any idea what the fuck was going on in that forest?

[He rarely swears, but give him a break here.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Because I don't use first aid kits often and would be clumsy and unhelpful with one. I use my tome quite frequently.

....Has it occurred to you to learn...

Has it occurred to you that I really don't have time or energy to entertain a teenager's petulant boredom? If you're not going to offer any ideas or answers to my questions, I don't have time for you.

You've been doing so well until now...

[Chikusa]

....Humans.

A futile hope that you might offer something of use if I kept answering your inane and frankly rude questions.

[Idiots]

Are you saying 'humans' as an insult to me or as an answer to my question?

Yes.

[CHIKUSA]

Did you speak with any of those hooded figures....?

No. I was too busy tearing down sigils, saving my son and fiancé.

[....there's a pause as he processes what word he just used to describe Aymeric before quickly:]

Er, Aymeric.

.....So is he not your fiance.

Not the point. [He'll get to that later.] The hooded figures?

You're the embarrassed one....

[But fine, he'll put away the poking stick for now.]

They were regular humans. They didn't notice any of the gods or shinki running around them at all... And forgot any who attempted to interact with them within seconds...

Yes, that's normal with humans. The only thing abnormal about them, aside from being cultists, was they were somehow in Heaven.

Are you sure?

As far as I am aware of yes, which is why I am asking people for input.

[Child he is going to crush you...]

[Catch him if you can]

...I.... would say you should recall what you can remember about that clearing.

You mean other than the bruised and bloody bodies of my son and Aymeric? And the damned fireflies?

Yes.

[HE'S SO HELPFUL, RIGHT]

...If you really can't recall anything else...

No, I can't, because I was exhausted and panicking. Either offer something actually helpful or please stop talking.

[ S I G H ]

There was snow.

....and? It's November.

....Do you walk around the Far Shore a lot?

No. I have other things to do. Will you please get to the point?

....You're really useless....

[No time to waste when it comes to insults, apparently. Chikusa sighs.]

In the Far Shore... It's still harvest season. There's no snow, anywhere. [And because it apparently needs to be spelled out-] That's only.... for the Near Shore.
