"Which—?" he began, then immediately caught his tongue. Could Celes truly come from the past? She mentioned Setzer... the Opera House? Edgar mused. It seemed hard to believe— but then, most of what had happened these past few days hadn't been particularly conceivable either. He turned away from Celes' iron stare, idly stabbing his pancakes with his fork.
"I..." he said, after a brief moment of hesitation. "I do believe that some small time has passed since then." He paused. He didn't really wish to elaborate. If Celes didn't know yet, about the floating continent, about the world... he had no wish to be the one to inform her of such things. Suddenly, he wasn't quite so hungry anymore.
"And I have no idea how you ended up here... or anyone else, for that matter. I'm sorry. The people here just go to sleep one night and wake up wearing dreadful uniforms. I do doubt that Setzer had any involvement in this, yes— though if he did, I will take great pleasure in personally dismantling his airship piece by piece. And then set fire to his lucky deck," he added with a chuckle. "It's good to know you're alright, at any rate."
