He's still extremely anxious by this stranger they've stumbled upon, especially given the things he's said, but it's probably better to keep an eye on him... make sure he doesn't actually let anyone get hurt.
Meanwhile, Migi is thrilled to continue this conversation, and needs to be able to see better, so as Shinichi walks, his right hand just casually morphs: index finger stretching out into an eyestalk that can swivel around and stare at the man. )
Correct. This is all extremely novel to me. I have come across the concept of magic in my research, but to my kind, it is only considered fiction.
( The eye blinks widely, curiosity in full force. His fingers are even wiggling in excitement... this is all fascinating. )
Immortality, controlling the flow of nature... manipulating reality. These all sound like things that "gods" are said to be capable of, in human texts. Are these hosts of the True Runes considered gods?
