Wait... no. How could Nara'a know 'Fray'. How could he be a Dark Knight, there were only two left?? No, Drusila's 'family' was incredibly small, there was no way the other man could have been part of it without his knowledge.
And that password. That could have been leaked by any member of the Scions- especially since the Waking Sands had been raided, but...
His eyes narrowed as well, mind racing. What were the possibilities, here? An Ascian agent? Someone from another Shard- no, how could he possibly know the same people?
It... wasn't possible.
"Does... somebody wanna clue me in on whatever cloak-and-dagger thing you guys got goin' on? I read stuff, I know a secret passcode when I hear one."
He... he knew time travel was possible. Knew that he himself and G'raha both had travelled into the past, affected change... Raha had been sent into the past believing that the world he'd left behind would vanish, but what if it... didn't? Shtola had idly mused about it at times, the prospect of that world remaining and the world they lived in now being an accidental byproduct... Could it even be possible? What could have changed? Nara'a had clearly met the same people, but- had they said the same things, committed the same acts?
"Botamon, help me out here, you got a clue what they're on about?"
With shaking hands, Taiki reached into the recesses of his robes, drawing out a tiny object, something he'd only shown to a precious handful of people. Only the Scions, Amon, Hades, Hythlodaeus, and Venat knew that he had it, knew what it was... and the latter four were dead.
It was a soul crystal. A very special one. "Curious turn of phrase. I've heard of folk pretending to be me in an attempt to get drinks for free, on occasion, you know. But you seem... familiar to me, in a way I can't describe. I'd like you to tell me what this is, if you can."
