[they are in fact in the dorm and taichi's sprawled out on the floor, idly scrolling through his phone. he doesn't look up from the screen, but:]
Is that what that was all about? I've heard at least three different names for you in the last three days.

Someone else told me. [a shrug.] There's a couple of things I'm curious about, but maybe it doesn't matter here.
[...as a chance of subject though:] Would you call yourself a mercenary, too?
[beau told him things and now he's just asking to figure out how those three are even friends. it's fine.]

Nothing says you can't be both, your majesty. [he does not believe molly's royalty but he'll play alone anyway.] What would you call it then? Beauregard mentioned it but I thought I'd ask you anyway.
[also hm, maybe he'll go back to the profile questions later after all.]

You can do the same if you wanna even the playing field. [so yeah. it's comparing notes but it's also really just taichi being curious about other worlds and how it all compares.]
What kind of goals are those then? Besides stealing stuff from dragons.

I'll consider it.
[There's a brief moment where he tilts his head and his tail flicks, but it drops quickly, just looking amused instead.]
Interesting locales? Gold? Perhaps a bit of problem avoidance, but I wouldn't be the one to call it out. If you're prone to wandering, a group is certainly safer.

[wow, two for two. he doesn't seem to notice the tail flick (or he's choosing to ignore it) but he thinks that over.]
I don't disagree with that. [...] I'm still trying to figure out if there's a reason the people that showed up were brought here, but others weren't. That's why I'm asking around.

You three, Claude knows two people, Adora and Catra are from the same place, Kaine said that someone knew her even before she introduced herself, and then there's me and Yamato. Three seems to be the max from each world.
So the only theory I even have isn't even a theory. Somebody wants something from us but they haven't told us what it is yet.

No I mean everybody else is the only person from their own world. It's never more than three even though there are a few of us who come from bigger groups.
So okay. What do you think you have that someone would want for themselves?
[this question could be framed more nicely but whatever.]

And I mean that I've never seen most of you in my life, but it doesn't you aren't from the same world. There's a lot of people out there, and I haven't met most of them.
[He raises his eyebrows at that second question, but he looks off as he thinks about it.]
No idea! Good looks? Charming company. Fantastic horns.

I've had to explain what a phone is too many times to think people aren't from different worlds, but okay, fair point.
[...tilting his head a little as if he's trying to decide if he should agree or argue.]
Guess you could ask the principal if we ever get to meet the guy. If he even exists.
