The name Hotaru gave was unfamiliar to him. Outside of Halo, he did not know a lot of people. He had just barely begun exploring when he met Phoebe, and she had taken him from Torchline to the Hollowed Grounds, but only to see her college and what she had established there. He had not met other people, so he doesn't react at all. It was nice to tuck the name away, however, for the future. Her recollection of what she saw did make his stomach turn, though. "The people of Whitebrim are exiles. Whatever got them where they are now is unforgivable, even without the cannibalism." He shuddered, thinking about it. "I've barely escape their notice a few times on hunts. Never have I encountered them up close or crossed swords with them, if you will." He stepped to the side, avoiding a thin looking stretch of ice before them. "And I pray I never do."
