[ I see. They froze the game board. He offers a small nod in agreement that Natha may have no faith in the heroes. His hands slide behind his back as he steps forward -- his steps sound heavy, final. The presence around them grows that much heavier as he starts to move, but with how the man looks before him, Kirei wonders if the change is even felt. ]
Why, indeed? [ He sounds smug even though he knows nothing what is going on. All he knows is what he has been told. There hasn't been enough time to read up on what has happened, so he can only assume. ] It may be merely a task to keep you all occupied. Like the efforts to clean up. [ His head cocks to the side as he makes a sweeping gesture with his arm. ]
It's all a means to distract while they figure out what to really do about the dragon. It gives everyone a false sense that they're ... accomplishing something while Natha is buying time to figure out what to do about the dragon itself. [ A smile touches his lips. ] But that may not be what is going on at all. I certainly am just offering my uneducated opinion on it all. Yet if something rings true in it, well... it rings true.
[ He has to actually look up at the man to be able to speak to him. It's a rare occurrence for him, but he can't say that he minds. The man before him feels weary and tired; his wounds have been torn but not fully opened. ] If they cannot kill one dragon, it could be... that they have other plans for it.
[ A beat. ] But a slight distraction is in order. I am Kirei Kotomine. Before we share more of our thoughts on this... situation, I felt a brief pause to allow for names would be best. After all, it seems like you are about to collapse under the weight of everything that I may not even come to know your name.
