"I am someone who found Hiroki when he was a confused man wandering through the Nexus. He had a designation name he called himself at the time."
Mantis flicks a hand and pulls a chair closer to him. He sits down, minding his distance still, and keeping both men in his field of vision. This is an old game, but he's long considered himself an expert in it.
"Hiroki has told me of the witch. I had a few general ideas of how to handle her." His gaze flickers between the two men and he goes for reading both of their surface thoughts. Even if he's walked headlong into danger, there will be a tell when things might go awry. You just have to wait for that right moment. His head turns slightly to the new man. "Strange, though. I don't think I've met you before. How do you know Hiroki?"
