He went missing after a mission. And I got attacked by something weird right before I woke up here. But I remember now, so I can get back to what I was doing.
[And Lavi can just come home with him and replace the other Lavi who they will never see again anyway because he's been glued to a chair for 14 years.]
You should be able to take care of everything now, then... that must be a relief.
[it certainly is one to mathis!! the little spike of anxiety caused by mentioning others thinking lavi might be dead fades with the explanation, as he exhales a breath.]
I'll probably die before it's safe. [Sometimes you're a soldier in a 7,000-year-long Holy War.] I don't know what I'm going after. The first thing I have to do is track down someone who might know, and I have no idea where that idiot is.
[...ah. his heart sinks, at that, at the matter of fact way that kanda says it.
he's struck silent, briefly, but when he eventually recovers:]
...Monsieur Gale said that he was willing to teach me magic. If I can become accomplished enough to defend myself there, without you needing to worry about me, then... it won't have to be safe.
[maybe he would be able to help, in ways he absolutely can't as he is now.]
...Innocence is the only thing that's ever been able to affect them. I don't know if magic from other worlds will have any effect.
[Defensive spells, maybe, but he's doubtful. And beyond that, the problem is--]
The thing that attacked me... it used pure Innocence. [WHICH IS LIKE. BAD? HOW DO YOU ATTACK A THING THAT USES THE THING YOU USE TO ATTACK THINGS.] So I have no idea what the hell's going on.
[He wasn't just saying that to keep Mathis out; he's antisocial, but he doesn't often tell lies.
He's not really one for comfort or reassurances, but... he also doesn't want Mathis to think he's brushing him off, either. So, after a pause:]
...The Rabbit will probably be fine. He might come see you, if he can. [Will Kanda come with him... well, maybe... not that he'd say that part but listen]
Not in Gale's world. [HE NEVER FORGAVE THE RESURRECTION QUARTET which is so tragic because he really liked all of them up until then but c'est la vie. More importantly, it's not necessarily a no to visiting Virche Island, which is probably as close to a "yes okay" as Kanda will ever get.]
Not in Gale's world, then. I won't ever ask you to go.
[he knows... HE KNOWS. sorry about probably taking gale up on the apprenticeship but nobody else out here is offering to teach him powers and also he still loves that wizard.]
[It's fine, fortunately he's not so petty as to judge people who still like them. He'll still talk to them himself, it's just purely cold professionalism now... but even it was a problem, he highly doubts that Mathis of all people would do the sorts of things he'd take extreme issue with. So it would be fine regardless.
Though, that being said:]
...Isn't he dealing with a brain monster or something. [MATHIS IS THAT A GOOD IDEA]

[He is too young and immature to go back to liking Scien at this point but he definitely wanted him alive for Mathis and Lucas's sake, so it's fine.]
no subject
[he couldn't judge anyway... this is the guy who never really reconciled with yuffie, SO.]
You'll be returning home, I'm assuming...?

[And there's a spike of irritation there because he was BRAIN SOUPED FOR TWO DAMN MONTHS but it's fine. It's fixed now.
And I need to let them know Lavi's not dead.]
