His eyes - blue with an ethereal green bleeding in, seemingly unnaturally, from the center of his pupil, lock eyes with Levi's own. Only breaking to let out a small, half-amused snort at their commentary of the Enma's need for a speechwriter. "Less ghostlike, these sharks."
It's a beat before he continues. "I was. The sky was raining blood, and people were going crazy. So ten of us - including two of the big names around here - infiltrated the Headquarters. The team I was on infiltrated the sublevels to destroy the source of the disturbance. The other group ascended to the top levels to try and extract the Enma."
He looks past them now, to the wall Levi is leaning against. "We succeeded, at least, which means we're the heroes of the hour. Not a lot of good that does us when Enma's speech means we're the next in line for people to try and get a statement from, though."
He's intentionally avoiding some commentary - that he was hospitalized. That he's still not at 100% - hell, he's barely at 50% - and that many of the 'Lost Souls' not directly under the Enma have had to take matters into their own hands. He figures if Levi wants to pry further, that's their business.
