[He doesn't mean to send this out into the telepathic ether, but thanks to the magic of Events(TM), one night Ruby will hear a quiet, morose voice wondering; ]

How long will it be before this “hunting guild” decides to pursue me?

[ ...Oh.

This isn't a thought she was expecting to enter her head, or a voice she recognizes. That's kind of been a common thing lately, and maybe she should just ignore this, but...that doesn't feel quite right! Why would someone have to worry that the hunting guild would come after them? ]

I'm sure they won't! They only go after creatures who are hurting people. [ Ah... ] Oh, um, sorry! I think I heard your thoughts on accident...

[There’s a wash of embarrassment through the mental link. He’s never accidentally telepathy’d someone before. It feels like he just tripped over someone’s feet.]

My - apologies. I was...merely...thinking to myself. [....but, since she did respond, and he wouldn’t mind getting someone else’s perspective; ]

Only creatures that hurt others? What of those that occupy a place humans want for themselves? Or creatures that are simply very unusual?

It's okay!!! It's kind of been happening a lot lately...

[ So he isn't alone in that, at least. There's definitely something funky going on with the amulets this week... ]

Well...I think most people would try to work with the animals or move somewhere else instead! I know some people are afraid of what they don't understand, but...I don't think that's most people. More people are good than bad.

[ But she's basically a shounen protag, what else can she say? ]

[You're a good egg, Ruby. Mewtwo has met shonen protags before, and liked them (don't tell anyone), but he can't manage to feel the same way. His response seems to regret it slightly, almost sounding like a sigh.]

That has not been my experience. On my world, creatures like me are pursued by humans.

[Not...exactly like him, since he's a copy...but...]

I...cannot trust the hunting guild to not do the same, if they become aware of me. And I do not know where I will be safe.

...I'm sorry. Your world doesn't sound like a very happy place to live.

[ And she has to be careful about how she answers, because she's a hunter, too. But the Grimm aren't creatures like he's speaking of. Their mindless sense of destruction isn't something that can be sympathized with. ]

What's your name? I don't think they'll go after you, but if they ever do, I can try to tell everyone you don't mean any harm.

[ Maybe she can even get in touch with the guild directly and get them to take down the posting. ]
