"I doubt the Regent would target innocent people," Childe agrees with her. "Not that most of the Pleroma see them as guilty of anything, but that blindsidedness is to be expected. Calling them innocent just makes it all a lot easy on their conviction."

He chuckles at her explanation. "Well... You aren't wrong. Although I'm surprised he would take offense to that...? I guess I don't know him very well. But the way, who's here that I can take you to to patch you up?"

Despite chatting with her openly, he is on high alert, his eyes darting around for any signs of locals that might be snooping because they don't know how to quell their insatiable curiosity. He'd prefer he not be seen by too many and established as an aion. Luckily the area Barnaby and Majorita were fighting in seemed mostly deserted. Nevertheless, he doesn't even want other aions knowing what he's capable and not capable of until absolutely necessary. Once the enemy knows everything you can do, there's no element of surprise anymore. He's got plenty more than a few tricks in his hand, but reserving each one the next he can doesn't hurt at all.

"Can you actually track people with that curse before it wears off or were you just bluffing on that, too?"
