Matilda nodded, she still didn't know the proper response so it was the best she could do at the moment. "You've found yourself a handsome one, too. You've certainly grown up in the last two years, I'm very impressed."
"Let's not - not go there, okay?" Kaine tried to wave that away with her hand before pressing on so that they could go back to the yak, and then home. "Wei said something about everyone 'seeing what we did for this town' or some variation of that? I wanted to ask you about it, that's all."
"Oh, that?" The elder woman disappeared into her office and came out with ... A triangle of all things. A glass triangle with a faint, dark purple hue to it. "Towards the end this showed up out of nowhere and, for lack of a better way to put it, it just showed us everything that went on. The fight, Claude, all that talk. The whole town saw everything." It was dropped into Kaine's palms. "We messed with it a little, but the worst it does is just show you whatever you want. You ask it to show you what you ate for breakfast and that's what it does! No lies, no glamouring. Is that it?"
Kaine stared at the thing in her grasp and looked vaguely befuddled by it all, more Matilda's quick desire to leave than the apparently magical device. "I - Yes? I think so?"
"Good! Now, I need to find my husband, lovely to meet you Cuthbert, take care of Kaine, as I'm sure you're all eager to return home! You make a lovely couple, just as much as Roland and Nariko!" And with that she was down the stairs. Kaine looked at the triangle, and then at Bert, repeated that process two times before making a very confused squawking noise. She meant to ask him what to do, but that didn't come out.
