The impatient tone all but implied that this was something Lloyd should know, that he was stupid if he didn't. Lloyd folded his arms defensively. Not that this was the first time someone had called him out on not knowing something he should, but that didn't mean he had to like it. "Look," he said. "I don't know what an intercom is. Is that some kind of magitechnology or something?" The word sounded like something they might have found inside a Desian base.

The Desians... Were these people working with them? Given the cruelties this kid said these people inflicted on their prisoners, they sounded similar. How would he have gotten into their hands, though? Yuan was a Renegade. It didn't make sense for him to hand Lloyd over to someone who was working for his enemies.

Lloyd shook his head. None of this made sense. He felt like there were too many pieces he was missing. Did it really matter, though? Even if it didn't make sense, that didn't change the fact that something had to be done.

The last remark made him blink and look at Kyousuke in surprise. "Really? You sounded like you knew a lot."
