What do you mean? [ Subaru's tone gentles, even if urgency surges in its undertow. ] You're not safe here either.
[ Carefully, his gaze dips to the space beside him. Empty but charged. He's feeling the weight of a presence even if it's only defined by Soleum's focus on it. Though he doesn't have his onmyoudo, his keen senses are buzzing, static bright like a livewire. His expression creases as he tries to focus on it. The cat is more corporeal even if made of the same shadow-stuff, apparitions given shape by — guiding others out? It must be. That's where these faces that he wears intersect, every time.
Knelt at his side, the puddle continues to grow. It's not so dissimilar from Megumi's shadows... but even a sorcerer of his caliber struggled to keep them in a cohesive form. Can he do it? Or will he have to follow the order of this place? ]
Your magic is going to come apart like this. Someone is... speaking to you, right? What is it saying?

I don't have magic. [ he doesn't want it. if this place could tear it out from him, remove the pieces of himself that doesn't make up kim soleum. then he'd welcome it. the thought is so tempting when said by someone else when they view him like this. ]
But... you do.
[ that hand comes back to his lap, agent grapes tilts his head down, and he listens.
— What a nosey fellow! This is an a and b conversation, wouldn't you say, friend? — What to do, what to do. You really shouldn't tell him, it's been some time since we could speak, friend. — I can help you, friend! Stay a little longer, this Host has so much advice to help you out of this predicament. Now— ]
To break it down from the inside, you have to understand what you're against.
[ — That's fine and dandy, friend! this gracious host thinks you should tell him ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓. ]
