Jon balks, quite frankly too caught off guard to tell him that there was, in fact, anime in his world. God, that tone is so distinctly reminiscent of his college days, getting derided for not watching one thing or another. How the hell was he getting hassled for not watching anime here, of all places, by a man who he'd assumed was from a world closer to Concord's own than his? (When will he have peace for not bothering to watch Yu Yu Hakusho? Not even in death, apparently.)
"I... see," He finally speaks, still sounding a bit baffled. "Nothing I'd watched included any of that information, so--- thank you. If you think Xuánwǔ's influence has a chance of reaching this place, I'll move the grinder. Even if we haven't got a way to find out if his reach does or doesn't extend this far, it may be worth doing for good measure."
