[ Hanzo is not the kind of man that accepts things lightly and being checked over and introduced to some foreign place does not sit well with him. He is uncomfortable, he is unhappy and, more importantly, he is frustrated by what he has found by reading as much as possible on these devices. There has been mention of himself and, at the same time, mention of his brother.

His brother who is not listed, but he cannot run the risk.

The fear is a slight chill down his spine, something that prickles and makes his arm ache ever so slightly. ]

Genji Shimada. Is he present.

[ It's a question, really, but he's not really thinking straight right now. In fact, he's thinking that sitting in a corner with his flask of sake and his thoughts might end up being far more productive. ]

[flashbanging]

Your brother came up plenty.

[ That's how he knew it was you, bud.

He pauses, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

You taught me a bit about archery, too.

[eruit]

Have you continued to practice?

[ Avoiding the Genji bomb seems easier for now. ]

[flashbanging]

Naw. Don't got nothin' to work with. You were gonna make me a bow, but then you disappeared. Like folks do 'round here sometimes.

[eruit]

I see.

[ Does he want to renew the offer? It seems prudent to make some alliances, but... this feels dangerous, somehow. ]

Perhaps I will consider it.

[flashbanging]

Don't worry. I'm not gonna hold you to anything. I know you ain't really the same fella.

[ A pause. ]

Well, y'are, but you're not. You know what I mean.

[eruit]

I do not, but I fear I will learn.

[ But, wait. ]

You have not given your name.

[flashbanging]

[ Oh, right. ]

McCree.

[ Another hat tip. ]

Nice to meet you.

[eruit]

Thank you for answering my questions, McCree.

[ And for not screaming in his face. ]

[flashbanging]

Any time, partner.

[ He's too easygoing for that. Usually. ]

[eruit]

Are you able to tell me where I am?

[ 'Partner' for goodness sake... ]

[flashbanging]

Don't they got a welcome wagon or something?

[ No ...? Well. ]

Anyhow, it's some alien planet or other. Not too bad a place. Supposedly we'll all get to head home eventually, but for now we just gotta sit tight.

[eruit]

Do you imagine I would accept something a kidnapper says to me without gathering more information?

[ He's no fool, thankfully. ]

We are expected to simply wait?

[flashbanging]

'Kidnapper' is a strong sorta word, partner. From my understanding, the whole thing was more or less an accident.

[ He nods, makes an 'mmhmm' sound in his throat. ]

Wait and work. Plenty to be done 'round here and through that portal we all came in on.

[eruit]

That does not make this easier.

[ It feels a lot like kidnapping. ]

I will. Work.

[ What else can he do? And he needs to be busy or his mind will... Wander. ]
