A woman I met and some of her friends. Her name is Velvet.
[Any other time Machina would be having a hissy fit at having his capabilities questioned in the slightest. Instead, he's just eerily calm about it. Frank and honest because he sees no purpose in lying or hiding anymore.]
You're welcome to help or not. That's not what I came here for anyway. I want to make sure that Izana is safe and unharmed.
[He looks directly at Lightning, with empty eyes but there's an intensity behind the action of not looking away, being unflinching.]
Unharmed by anyone or anything.
[Machina knows, he knows that the greatest potential threat to his brother's life is himself. Without a Crystal or seize control of him, jerk his leash, force him to act... it's a far lesser threat. But as his brother pointed out months ago, he's a danger to everyone from Rubrum now.]
