"From what Jesper's told me of the place you've come from... I guess that's not all that surprising." Sylvain cocks his head to the side to consider that. They'd had a lot in common, but also so many things had been... mirrored. Similar but in reverse. But he's not sure the outcome was all that different, when it came down to it. "And from what I've seen he's capable of doing, I can imagine where he falls in this scenario." He chuckles at that, shaking his head. Jesper's magic was impressive. And a little scary.

He doesn't know if talking about those outside this place is better or worse on their respective moods. It's a distraction, at least.

Still, as Kaz lowers his voice, he just nods in agreement. "That would be my guess, too. It's not the first time it's set us apart from everyone else. And considering they seem to be seeking something specific in those of us they've taken..." he doesn't know what, which means their speculation can only go so far before running into a brick wall.
