Okay, a nice guy then. So far. Not a kishin egg. Those were all good things. Gray couldn't help but bristle a bit at being seemingly patronized, however. And he certainly wasn't about to admit he'd gotten lost, or rather, veered off course by the Madness. "I don't have a partner, and I was just on my way back anyway."

The mention of a creature being around instantly put Gray on high alert. He was fairly certain that he could handle the lesser Madness-crazed animals, like he had back in the cave. But from the sound of it, a kishin egg was much harder to handle alone.
