[ oh a shouting catchphrase kind of guy...! he wouldn't have expected it. this gets kanda a cool point. (its not what he's doing) this gets kanda a cool point.
he also waits to see if something happens, tilting his head. ]
He ignores Rondo and repeats the action and the words, but again, nothing happens... he doesn't try a third time, but there's a severe expression on his face as he lifts the blade to study it again.

[ for the first time, there's a shing! noise as rondo actually draws his sword. he's at a fair distance from kanda, but he's expecting him to jump, so the blade is held aloft as opposed to outwards. his sword is a bit oddly colored. ]
This blade should have... well, it should have something to it, but... I can't feel it at all. I think it happened to people and to weapons.
...Well, I was talking to Mr. Gale about it. He's a scholar - the sort of person that utilizes magic for combat. Most people in Orsterra do, even I do too... but, he said that he's not able to access his magic at all. And I asked a few other people, and they said the same about their own types of magic as well.

[A lot of this sounds weird to him, but he ignores it all to focus on the more important part, brow furrowing. Hmmm. This doesn't sound right based on his assumptions...]
Innocence wouldn't do that. [Fuck with everyone else, sure, but not him or Lavi. But if it's not that, then...

At length, he lowers his sword and finally acknowledges Rondo again.]
To people? [Explain]

He falls quiet, lapsing into thought.]

- Is that what you thought might have caused the fog, Mr. Kanda...?

At length:]
I don't know many other things that could.
[Aside from, like, the People You'd Die To he mentioned, who are not off the table of his considerations, but it's weird now...]

he nods, though, and after a beat, a little uneasy: ]
... I think... we're probably going to have to reconsider everything that we know to be normal, in this place. No matter what it is.
