It was mine! Mine!
[ Ithaqua's laugh only spurs on his anger. ]
I came from nothing and crawled my way to the top! I'm a genius mechanist and made it up the ranks because I deserved it! And I would've gotten even farther if it wasn't for— If it wasn't for...!
[ With a shaky finger, he points wildly at everyone present. ]
You!

[Good lad! He'll even sweep him over to what remains of the fountain where there's a little more flat stone to sit. Eh, just tossing some of this aside with magic and being mindful of Ginger's garden-- but eventually he'll plop himself right down, patting the stone next to him.]
Here, sit. You can have as much as you'd like. [He'll even conjure up one of the forks. Is this one of their forks? Lol who knows. Not the point.]
I want to know what felt wrong when you first saw me. [It's a repeat, but he keeps his tone the same as though the question is brand new.] You were rather insistent.

[ It might be a little weird, but it's when Tatara knows they don't see eye-to-eye that he feels closest to Khun. Another way they dance with one another, mirrored, and he's pretty sure he would laugh out loud if he knew.
If Tatara had no relation in the matter he ultimately wouldn't care, but since he's some kind of...leader? he feels a bit obligated to insist on peace.
Regardless, he smiles. The kind of smile he reserves for Aguero and only for Aguero. He sees you, and he appreciates you. His violent tendencies and all. ]

[Ah. So this is the truth. So, he did make the machine. However... There are more things to be discussed, and they need to get back on track. Ithaqua uses the blunt end of his tool for intimidation to push the man's arm down. It is, indeed, cold.]
Keep your hands to yourself, or you may just find yourself without them.
Now, concentrate. Who fed you, the most self-assured idiot I have ever seen in my life, information about Oz? None of this vague shite of hearing it from someone random, hm?

Probably not.
[ In the most literal sense— ]
But there are human laws. And I doubt humans will take all that kindly to the things he's done, especially if he's been working in international territory without permission. And especially if he admits to deliberately targeting Granvelle Castle.

It's true! [ He growls, very upset he's been touched. ] There was hearsay and I heard it! I knew my chances and I wanted to take it anyway! I don't care what you say!
[ Ah, what a fool Solomon is to believe Mithra will sit. Instead, he squats in front of the cherry pie and sticks his grubby ass fingers right into it, and shovels a handful into his mouth.
...
......
.........
And another. ]
This is good. [ He says, his mouth absolutely chock full of cherry pie, bits of cherry now all over his mouth and down his nice suit, making him look like he really did just sink his teeth into a boar.
With absolutely no consequence. ]
Oh, that. [ He says still with his mouth full, hands dirty. Fork? Don't know her. ] You feel like that guy. Ah, I forgot his name. [ he's going in for a third handful do you stop him ] But your magic is different and you're way weaker than him so you're probably not related to him.

Haha, what a good appetite you have, Mithra! That wasn't too bad at all, was it?
[Of course he doesn't stop him, he knows better than to get in the way of a speeding train that is a voracious, unworldy appetite. But he does look pleased to bits.]
Mm, names can be difficult. Was it another wizard? Your Sage? Or someone else?

Huh.
[ He's mildly impressed. ]
Ain't sure why you thought you were gonna prove 'em wrong somehow when you stole from 'em. Can't imagine they woulda felt charitable after that.

Oh yeah, you're right.
[ Oh, that sucks. Tatara thinks of the nice Khun he had sitting among all his memories of Homra... Oh well. ]
But we can just ask around to see who made them, and then maybe they can make you a new set. I'm sure they'd understand.
[ if they don't then they're the TRUE VILLAIN of this entire saga ]

[ Good! He's going to finish this pie.
He's also going to continue speaking with his mouth full. ]
I don't know. A wizard, I think.
[ He shrugs. ]
Can I go now?

The Sage's wizards really are something else, huh...]

They would've seen I shouldn't have been let go! That my genius was indispensable!
The death of the Granvelle family would have been a boon for the West, don't you understand?!
[ He doesn't seem particularly sympathetic to Central lives... ]
Their deaths mean very little in the face of Western glory!

Everyone, I guess. Does it matter?
[ With cherry-covered hands, he pops that mana stone in his mouth. ]
I'm going now.

[ Serenely, almost cheerfully: ] Nah, they were right to let you go if this is how you're handlin' it. A hothead stealin' from his ex-employer and rushin' off to go prove himself, and ain't thinkin' 'bout how the politics woulda shaken out?
Liability.
Liability.
[ Victor's growl grows into a frustrated yell, and he slams his fist into the ground. ]
Shut up, shut up! I don't want to hear from the likes of you!
