[... that's surprising, but he won't turn away something once offered. He listens to the explanation of the Pokègear as he looks over it, his curiosity getting the better of him regarding the device.

Time piece, communication device, map, radio... that definitely sounds like it could be useful. Particular the part about it being a portable communication device.

But that function also has him suspicious - why hadn't he seen more of these in the Tower? If it wasn't difficult to acquire, like Xemnas said, then why was network access only available through permanent terminals that didn't always work?

It didn't add up. Nor did these creatures, or having to use them to fight instead of protecting himself. He'd seen nothing like them in the year and a half he'd been there.

He passes the device back to Xemnas, and levels a neutral look at him for a few moments. Asking where he's from? Seriously?] I'm sure you know that's a trick question.

[A brief pause, before he decides to just give the other the answers he is looking for.] Immediately prior to 'here', I was in the Tower of Animus. Otherwise, I was raised on a world called the Land of Departure.

[His tone makes it obvious that he doesn't think he's left the tower he mentioned, however that might be.

... the forced neutral look on his face softens to something akin to curiosity on his own part. Xemnas really doesn't remember how they're connected?

It's hard not to pull a Riku and be sarcastic. Very hard.]
