The wave of rage that voice brings back is instantaneous, and Kaji has to stamp it back down. He's too much of a threat, but also less of a threat here. What can he really accomplish without his toys?

His voice shifts to the more cocky tone that he can depend on. Start to spin the story, fall back on the old habits. "You won't find Adam and Eve here. Or anything like them."

Pretend this is just Crystallis, and you've got all the answers again. "Humans are a really late addition to this world. And what came before us was something even the Angels would tremble at."

He spreads his hands out wide and grins. "But, hey. Take a look around, get your feet under you. When you feel like getting answers, they'll have an easy way for you to call me."

It's almost too easy, but Kaji can even feel the disapproving glare of his daughter at his back.
