Kit knows better than to say as much--at least in so many words.
He startles some when Rutile grabs hold of his wrist, but doesn't jerk out of their grip. He knows the desperation in those eyes, in that voice, only too well, knows that he probably wouldn't behave any differently if someone he knew and cared for happened to appear in this place. Behind them, the Sentries look increasingly agitated, but when they start forward as though to intercede in the encounter, Kit is quick to lift his chin, his free hand, in a placating gesture their way--as though to say 'cool it' without actually having to say it out loud. He looks quickly back to Rutile, answering them hopefully before they have the chance to notice how their action had seized the attention of the sentries.
"They're my friend," he replies, and hopes that Padparadscha wouldn't contradict him, were they here. "One of the first friends I made, once the Dreaming stuck me here. Like it's stuck you here, too, I figure." A pause, and then, "I can show you where they're living, though I don't know if they're around right now. Might've gone to Aisling Tower to visit the scientists, I think they do that sometimes."
