Burton thinks for a moment. “A portal, huh? Interesting…~” he trails off, then remembers where he is and blinks. ”Oh uh, sorry about that. Sometimes my brain gets a bit carried away,” he says with a chuckle. Then he sees Judd and his face lights up. “Goro?” he asks hopefully, bounding over in two leaps with his ninja…ness, mistaking Judd for his cat friend. “Oh…” he mumbles awkwardly. “You’re not Goro… sorry…~”
Judd gives him a weird look.
Burton sighs, but then brightens, remembering how Edison, his idol, felt about naysaying. “It’s fine.. we’ll find a way home! Somehow… I’m sure of it!” But deep down, he sounded more sure than he felt, and he wondered if the others could sense that too.
