How can anyone... be that old?

[SOME OF THESE AGES, MAN.]

[sixillusions]

[Oh. Well--]

Some people aren't human.

[Just says this like it's normal]

[cumulative]

But they don't look like they're Relivers... I-I even saw someone with lines on his face, and white hair-!

[UNHEARD OF.]

[sixillusions]

[HELPPP the sprace virches don't know what they were missing

The way Kanda doesn't know he's talking about Old Age so he's just like "who the hell has lines (tattoo) on their face"

More importantly:]

Like what?

[cumulative]

O-oh. Um... I'm sorry, I wasn't supposed to...

[failed step one of being arpechelean which is don't tell foreigners about relivers

but everyone seems to be from such different places...]

[sixillusions]

[stares at him

is he waiting for an explanation or just waiting for Mathis to commit to keeping it secret... who's to say]

[cumulative]

Well, i-it's... probably all right... you're all from such different places.

[not one of you has heard of arpechele, so surely you're not going to like, come invade the country.]

They're- people who have revived in a cloned body.

[sixillusions]

[I need you to know this is the funniest possible thread for reasons I cannot explain

He stares at Mathis even harder, clearly looking for something or trying to figure something out.]

...Are you with the Order?

[cumulative]

The... Order?

[the order of what.]

[sixillusions]

[Hm. Well, that basically answers his question, but just in case--]

The Black Order.

[cumulative]

I'm sorry, but I... I haven't heard of them.

[mathis you don't have to apologize for EVERYTHING.]

[sixillusions]

[MATHIS BE CONFIDENT Kanda does not and will never say, and in fact will have the opposite effect on account of being himself]

Where can they be found?

[cumulative]

I... I don't know...? Um, I don't understand...

[he just said he hasn't heard of them what is the deal]

[sixillusions]

[Kanda looks exasperated, even though he's the one who failed to explain properly, because he's an asshole]

I meant the Relivers.

[cumulative]

I don't... think I can say...

[NOT WHEN HE'S ASKING IN A THREATENING WAY or what mathis... perceives as a threat...]

[sixillusions]

[He would be correct yeah. Kanda pulls out his sword and stabs him just to be sure (no I'm kidding)

He studies him a little longer and does nothing at all to seem less threatening. Thanks Kanda.

Eventually:]

You're not one. [It's probably a question]

[cumulative]

N-no. I'm not. It's... too early to decide that, yet...

[please he is a tiny little guyyyy.]

[sixillusions]

[? He narrows his eyes slightly.]

Too early?

[BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET, MATHIS? AND YOU NEED TO BE DEAD TO BECOME A Reliver AKUMA? YEAH THAT'S WHAT HE THOUGHT]

[cumulative]

I'm not that close to being twenty-three-! Nobody would... want to always be seventeen...

1/2

[sixillusions]

[Yeah see]

2/2

[sixillusions]

[wait]

What?

[cumulative]

No one... lives past twenty-three. That's why Relivers exist at all.

[sixillusions]

No one in your town?

[Hmm... his demeanor is shifting a tiny bit away from Threatening towards Thoughtful]

[cumulative]

...no one in my country. It's... an island, s-so we don't have any neighboring ones...

[sixillusions]

[Hmmmm.]

...Alright.

[ALRIGHT WHAT Mathis may never know. But he'll actually be 2% nice and try again:]

Before we leave this town, please tell me where it is. [A please... Mathis will never hear this from him again]
