"Start talking. Now."
Garland's scowl deepens. The last person he wanted to see while dealing with this mess is Kai. He'll just make it all worse. "Why? This has nothing to do with you." It has a lot to do with Kai. And Takao. And whatever shit BEGA did to Brooklyn. But Garland can handle it. Certainly doesn't need Kai shoving himself where he's not needed. It'll just set Brooklyn off again and then Garland will have to clean up the mess once more.
*Kai waits, but the silence stretches on. No insects, no crackle of leaves; no wind through the branches or blades of grass. Kai eventually looks back at Garland - why isn't Brooklyn or Zeus making an appearance? What else could it be that he wants if it isn't Kai alone?*
Garland's eyes roam the clearing until he's looking back at Kai. He steps forward towards the man. "He's here... Right?" Garland was attacked just ten minutes ago, so why would Brooklyn leave? "He wouldn't have gone back..." Garland turns to look back the way they came. It's too silent for Zeus's dark energy to have left. Or perhaps, the dark energy just scared every creature away, other than Kai and Garland. "He really wouldn't have gone back, would he?"
