[He should have known that what he'd find wouldn't be the man he'd come to know as an acquaintance. He's heard and seen enough of the disease that's spread through Dreamer and Native alike to know that he probably shouldn't have taken him at his word when he said that he'd regained some strength that he'd lost, and the implication that he'd be fine until he showed up.

Seeing the man face to wolf-face, Kazuya just sighs, and shakes his head, giving a small shrug. Like he should have known better. Like he doesn't particularly want responsibility for whatever chaos is about to unfold.

But-

He said he'd help.

And so he will.]

Any part of you left in there? It'd make it a lot easier on me if there was, and that we could maybe just take a nice walk towards the crystal to let the natives here fix you up.

[A brief shimmer appears and disappears in front of Kazuya. A tetrakarn, just in case he gets rushed.

He's not going to play stupid like this.]
