Haha, I suppose a monster would find it anticlimactic, [Matoba grins, casually calling him out and continuing to stare Brad down (up??) from where he stands. Let him laugh- it was a pretty stupid monster.] But it is useful. I don't particularly care for challenges which match my pride. Whatever works.

Anything can be useful, with the proper situation- from the weakest human to the most powerful gods. But that is interesting. I wonder who this individual is?

[He has some guesses- he can't tell exactly what this man is, but there was something... familiar about the aura that he couldn't put his thumb on. As Brad makes a swipe again for his package, Matoba steps out of the way at last, to his left side.]

If you want a second answer, you're going to need to pay for it somehow.

Let's see... What is your name?
