When I got there, they were already looking pretty furious. I always went with a group, and the monsters were always immediately trying to kill us. I guess thinking about it... They were probably defending their territory...

Why are they monsters for? [ Again, it's his mind speaking to himself first, perhaps noticeable by the volume that it comes through, quiet. But Red pauses, tries to let himself work out his words on more than anger. He's meant to be keeping watch too. ]

Out in the wild... creatures don't just attack for any reason. And if the one's who reported it was these guild people, and they really cage up creatures like-- like objects, then who's to know what really set them off in the first place?

People who would treat creatures like that... who knows what else they've done?

["Creatures don't just attack for any reason." That's a line that catches Kor's attention, mostly because of how untrue he knows that is. So that prompts him to shake his head, before responding to Red.]

...In my world, and I'm sure in many others, monsters will attack for seemingly no reason. Outside the towns... it's unsafe for people. Merchants have to hire mercenaries and caravans to help them transport their goods from one town to the next. Civilians rarely go traveling away from their hometowns because they don't know if they'll make it in one piece.

...It's a matter of survival. To them, we're just a walking meal.

[ It does make him pause, quiet, to hear briefly about Kor's world. It's not... so entirely odd when he listens to it. People in his own world need protection if they go out due to wild pokémon, a contradiction of his own words for a second perhaps, but-

Hunger isn't entirely a no reason scenario, and having protection on the road -- isn't that normal? ]

Isn't that your world? Who's to say that's exactly how it goes here too? When I got here I was told there were creatures that'd try to kill me, but that wasn't the case at all! Sure, in my world too you'll get attacked if you go out in the wild unprepared, but -- but that doesn't deserve they mean death!

Anyway, can you really trust a group who call themselves the beast hunting guild? You can't just treat every scenario the same, no one should do that. Who knows what made them angry? What if they're not usually like that?

I don't know if that's the case here or not. [This next part is said--err, thought--more quietly.] But that's the train of thought many people have here... [They all come from worlds with environments like that... It's what makes the BHG's job so easy, knowing so many people are willing to tackle down these monsters because to them it's what comes natural.]

[And then the next part said more lightly, dispelling the tension that was surrounding their conversation with some optimism.] ...But that's what we're here to figure out, right? The guild's true colors are becoming obvious!

[ It wasn't that long ago that he'd sat and discussed with another about their world, about the threat connected to their world from another...dimension. So many people not knowing how to deal with it, not understanding it, truths being covered up or living with only a single family.

He knew he couldn't quite understand the worlds that these people came from, though the subject here and now didn't feel entirely the same as what Oswald had told him. ]

...Yeah, you're right. [ Nevertheless, going on about it now would be pointless. He wanted to look forward too, to the issue now. ] What about the police here? Can they do anything? If there's people mistreating creatures right under their noses, can't they put a stop to it?

If you mean the Enforcers... Well, we can't do something without definitive proof. [Notice he says "we".] So that's why I'm here! [He's not even being suble about it now.]
