Hm? 'Put them right back?' You sound like you're talking about actual game pieces instead of living, breathing humans.
...and you did have the opportunity to explain. But you didn't. You acted like a Witch does, and took them to this place because it was your right as the Witch of Dimensions, the ruler of countless worlds.
[When she speaks again, it's....kindly. almost gentle, even.]
...I understand, you know. Realizing you have become something past humanity is hard for someone who was once human to accept. I struggled with it once, too.
But you are not human - and you have not been for a hundred years. The way you speak of the humans you chose for this game alone is proof of that.
[He speaks firmly when he says that, though with a touch of anxiety laced underneath. Like he's worried that she might actually be right.]
I was going to ask, at first. But what I saw at the Foundation was...
[He shakes his head.]
It's too dangerous there, even for a Witch. Every moment I was there I was at risk. So I just grabbed them and ran. Even now it feels like the eyes of the Foundation are watching, like I awoke something that should not have been disturbed.
How interesting. Still - you weren't afraid to grab them, nor explain anything to them once they'd arrived.
...Of course, that was because you made yourself a piece to hide among them. As I said before, it was a clever play.
[She raises her arms above her head, grinning brightly.]
I can't wait to see your response to my next move~ I'm sure it'll be wonderful. Should we stage a public argument to make your pieces see me as even more of a villain?

[...or maybe that's the anxiety he feels. Hm.]

Probably! But I'm beginning to like you, despite everything. You - Hm.
[She pauses for a second, looking...distant?]
....I just feel like teasing you, and I don't know why.
[And then it's over, and she shrugs.]
Maybe because you're so easy to rile up~

...Just...enough. Enough to let me know that no human is worth any kind of trust.
[Her face tightens, a little - and after a moment, she stands.]
Another witch, however...that is a different thing.
I'll leave you to your sleep, WATANUKI. Rest well. I'll see you again when I make my next move.

[The protest is merely cursory, though. Because now he's watching Nirrti with a sense of curiosity. Hmm, what just happened?]
