"Oh there is more to it than that, isn't there, sandwich shop owner?" he says with a smirk. His blades weren't the only thing that were sharp. "Let me explain my conclusions: there would be no great legends about humanity without their presence. Even if they are not native to your world, there would be those looking to seize that power." His smirk grows ever deeper. "'Occasionally people from other worlds wind up here.' 'It just happens.' That sounds very convenient. Are there, by any chance......kidnappings?" He practically tastes the last word, tongue flicking out from his maw. More delicious than food.

He briefly looks to Juliana and Maglev, but otherwise stands cautiously. Was this a kidnapping? It would be easy for certain Pokemon to sense the human soul within them. And it appeared he was far from the only one to come in place of their leader.
...well, if it was the case its pretty likely that this lil sharpie isn't the one who kidnapped them, though they are still.. off-putting, why is it always the small unassuming mons that pack a punch?, they return the look, before returning to examining the immediate area, still wary of the lil Pawniard
"I guess that make a little sense, seeing how some of us here claim to be human... but then how and WHY exactly would we be sent HERE? If someone were to kidnap me, the LAST thing I'd expect them to do would be to give me a free sandwich." Here goes, Detective Blitz is on the case! Oh Arceus, he was LOSING it...
"At the very least we get food" he says as he looks around, searching around for anything notable while still providing Israfel shade

Blitz officially thought that this Metang might've been the most level-headed one here. "Food is fine, but information would be better..." he ended up finally taking a bit out of his PB&J, apparently just now remembering it was there. Tasted like home... he hoped everyone else was doing well without him...

He blinked a couple of tears out of his eyes. No, you are not going to cry. Especially not in front of these people. Grow up!

"I guess you don't have them in your world? they're called sandwiches, here." as they hand over the sandwich the noivern made for Israfel, "usually its bread with some type of filling between them at the very least"

The big red dragon shakes his head. "No, I don't even know what bread is. The only food where I'm from are different kind of mushrooms and a few plants." He sniffs to guide his maw closer to the sandwich, and awkwardly tries to grab it with his hand. He keeps sniffing it skeptically, and feels around it to figure out his shape what with still being mostly blind.

He eventually bites down the end. His face lights up almost immediately as he chews fast and swallow. "Oh what the heck?" he says, gobbling down the rest of it, even coughing as he lightly chokes. "What was that? Why was it so good? Do you have any other food to try? I never had anything like this in my entire life."

(OOC note: I do not want to have a running gag of Israfel liking sandwiches, despite Scarlet and Violet. He's reacting this way because he's never had real food in his life and this just so happened to be sandwiches, but I don't want him to be treated like he's sandwich obsessed, it gets annoying for me.)

"Hm.... Do people know why?" Taken a bit aback with how casual the Noivern answered, definitely not the same world they've been taken to before, kinda weird how quickly he's getting used to this, at this point it wouldnt really be the first time anyways, Maglev follows up:

"..If its that common enough, do you know any places we can stay?"
Astra looks between Maglev and and Noivern. "Please tell me that there's some way back to our homes. If I loose my home, I might..." Tears well up in his eyes, threatening to fall. "... I don't know what I would do."

Blitz immediately wanted to comfort him, so he walked up to the Treecko and gently tried patting him on the back. That's what Pokémon do when they're trying to comfort someone right? "Hey, it's ok... we'll find a way. I promise," he whispered, trying to sound as reassuring as possible.
