Nah, Trust hasn't been around for a long time, [Smoke replied with a sigh. It sucked, no doubt about it; Smoke hadn't gotten to say goodbye to him... not that anybody got the chance to say goodbye to anyone, usually, but it was different when he wasn't around for it to happen. In spite of himself, he sounded wearily resigned as he explained all of it.] And if he'd been reborn, wouldn't have taken long to spot him walking the streets. White tiger that walks on two legs and wields a sword kinda stands out. He was the Captain of the Guard before Bastet.
[He removed a hand to pull at the stick in his mouth and exhale again, then replace the cigarette.] Trust had some kinda thing where he couldn't do all of his cool powers unless he was contracted to someone - bonded to 'em. The way his partner told him to do this or that was with a toujinki - little electronic bracelet sorta thing. Made little beeping noises and you had to make symbols in the air with it. [He made some motions, a little sloppier than he used to do when he was Trust's partner, but it was enough to give Cloud an idea.]
Apparently our evil twins had something identical to that, and breaking it killed Trust's twin. I was the one Trust was contracted to, so as a friend and his partner... it was my job to keep that thing safe.
