. . . [His other can't see it, but something forms beside Shadow, a small dark portal. He tosses the emerald into it as it'll reappear in front of his other through another portal. It rolls along the ground toward them. He did not recharge it this time.] I won't be needing that. [It's not a bluff. Fully aware of his own capabilities now, he doesn't need that emerald as much as his other might. In a blip, he's gone before they can do anything about it. Leave it or take it, not his concern anymore.
His other has chosen to take on another priority before coming for him, knowing he won't run when the time comes. "They're making a mistake" is what goes through his mind. But fine. He can't sit around and wait, so that only leaves him to focus on one thing. That masked face. Unfortunately, he never got anything out of his other to know who they even are. Other than they really want one of them dead, or both. Felt personal how they were egging him on to kill his other.]
