If they're telling the truth, it really must.

...but I suppose it's too soon to know if they are, isn't it? Still... they haven't been hostile to us. I don't see any reason not to proceed as if they're being honest, as long as we keep our guards up. Trusting them wholeheartedly would be a little foolish, but I'd like to believe they're being sincere about this.

That's about where I'm at, too.

[As much as he'd been giving other people grief about their paranoia, it's not like he's stupid enough to blindly trust strangers in an alien world when they're the only ones who seem to have a leg up on information.]

I'm kinda pissed, though... I was hoping we'd just be able to beat up some kidnappers and get back home.

That would have been easier, wouldn't it? I'm a little disappointed we can't do that, too, but...

[she huffs]

...we'll just have to get to the bottom of whatever's going on here.

Why's nothing ever easy when you need it to be, huh? [A SIGH. He's so harrowed hello!!]

I hope other people here are better at figuring out complicated stuff than I am...

Well... the good thing is there are a lot of us here. Some of us can come up with ideas, and others can build on those ideas.

I'm sure you'll have insights to contribute that others wouldn't, Sir Kashuu.

[She says that but wait until she watches all 3 swords drop their one shared braincell in trial.]

Mmm... True, true! I'll definitely try my best, at least. You know exactly what to say, huh?

I just say what comes to mind.

A natural speaker, then!

[she seems amused]

And you're a natural at giving compliments, I see.

[He just does a little half-bow from his seated position... If he was standing he'd do a flouncy curtsy.]

People like you are easy to compliment, so it's not hard work for me at all! There are some guys it's a real struggle with, though.

[He sounds so amused as he says this the BUTTHEAD.]

I think I can imagine some of the people you mean.

[there are some people she's met that it would be very difficult to compliment.]

[JUST NODDING IN UNDERSTANDING... He gets it... He gets it.]

All the ones who're most like raccoons, for sure.

[sHE IS TRYING SO HARD NOT TO BUST OUT LAUGHING AT KASHUU CALLING THEM RACCOONS]

[HEH... He just looks openly amused about it because he is, in fact, a gremlin.]

You can laugh, I won't tell! It's true, anyway. I mean, I literally had to stop a guy from eating a hot dog outta the trash.

Oh, no...

[THAT'S NOT HYGIENIC? but yeah she's laughing]

I hope he didn't end up with a stomachache.

He didn't! But only 'cuz I didn't let him grab the hot dog. He said he wasn't actually gonna eat it, but he totally had that feral raccoon look in his eye...

[Now Kashuu's just teasing like a PUNK.]

Lucky for him you were there!

Yep! And he's probably so embarrassed that he won't try it again. Not that he'd need to now, I guess...

[Their verdants with their handfuls of food...]

Well, you never know. If he gets hungry and there's no one who can use Verdant around...

I wanna have a little more faith in him, but...

[A SIGH. She is probably tragically correct, says his Sad Eyes Of Preemptive Judgment expression.]

There's some other people here who I think would eat outta the trash just for fun, too.

Garou might, yes.

That guy's really making a strong impression, huh...

...to say the least...

Hopefully he calms down a little before they get too bad.

I'm not sure "calm" is in his vocabulary, if I'm to be entirely honest.
