[ Interesting. Though he supposes he would have to explain it a little more clearly, given what had happened the previous time.
He looks around slightly before speaking, making sure there was no one within earshot and letting go of his spellbook to allow it to float beside him. ]
It is quite simple. Having found Shirasu wandering the street, I felt inclined to evaluate his state of mind and escort him back to safety if necessary. It took a little conversation to elucidate his state, and I started with the most common of topics - that is, of our homeland and what his occupations were. He did tell me that he was of the Fuuma clan. The Fuuma served the Hojo during my time, and were part of the peacekeeping force in Kanto. Naturally I was inclined to enquire about their well-being, as they are old allies.
[ He says all this calmly, with little hesitation. ]
He did tell me more than he would do so otherwise, though I could not tell why at first glance. I did manage to figure out that his inhibitions were lowered after a while, thus I cut off the conversation as soon as I could find someone who could take care of him better than I could.
[ Which, in this case, was Tenka, what with the Orochi mention and everything. ]
It was merely occupational banter, which unfortunately had unforeseen effects. I do intend to make up to Shirasu for my lapse in foresight, though. It would be the least I could do to find a place his people can live in peace. [ He half-holds up one hand to forestall the first question that Sousei might ask - ] I may not be able to return to our home in person, but I have been offered a unique perspective outside of our world. And the Mouri still have allies and connections about, I will be able to arrange something with sufficient work.
[ Just like what any sensible, kind person would do. ]
