Shadow's eyes narrowed. Just what was Mephiles implying? It seemed he had to step back a bit to dissipate his doubts, but he had to make it clear to Mephiles he didn't gave in into whatever he was saying. He leaned forward a little and lowered his voice to make it a bit more threatening.
What others? What is this place? What... residents? "...Show me you are not lying." Why was he giving him a chance? Maybe because Mephiles never attacked him back, he felt not real threat from him, but his mere prescience made him feel angry, he wanted him to fight him back, to rip and annihilate that shadow. He felt disgusted by him, looking just as he did, but like if he was a horror tale version of himself. Those emerald serpentine eyes, made him feel uneasy, but he kept glaring at them, without moving away.
