Any further information Kurogane had attempted to get from the sentinels at the tower had been... ineffective. The various items he had been given have been stuffed into his jacket pockets (oversized gloves included) and since then he'd taking to wandering and cursing Mokona's name.

Still, here the man was in the flesh. Or it at least appeared so. Kurogane squints - still not entirely sure how this new world works or if the other can even understand him. So he tries a different approach, one they'd taken to in Yama.
"Fai?" The name still sounds odd coming out of his mouth, but he thinks he at least has the accent down now. "That you? It really better be. I need a drink, now - after we find the kids." He adds, in hopes the man can actually understand the last part.
