W-Well, yeah, but... they gotta be around here somewhere. We'll find them.
[ Let's just... focus on that. If Alphen's here, and they can meet up, that'd be an excellent opportunity for him to ask what the heck is going on. Shionne must just be—confused, or something. Or she's intentionally trying not to talk about it? Could that be it? There are about a million things wrong here, but they'll figure it out once they're together again. If not Alphen, then one of the others, surely. Until then, he'll just try not to worry about it.
And more importantly, he'll try not to let anything else happen to her. Not on his watch!
In the meantime, sorry, but he laughs outright at those charges. ]
Sounds about right. Mine's—kinda like that. Yeah.
[ Rather than explain it, he un-scrungles his paper from the angry ball he'd crunched it into, then holds it up for Shionne to see. Uh... ignore the parts where it calls him small for his age, impulsive, reckless, and callously mentions a certain guilt complex that is strictly Not For Being Discussed. What's important is the so-called crime: murder, specifically of several unfamiliar names, none of which have surnames, so they must be Dahnan. ]
...It's not true. The Snake Eyes did that, not me. This must be their way of tying up loose ends, huh? Twisting stuff around to make us look like criminals. Pretty typical, I'd say.
