[The lack of snacks truly is a shame, and the hamsters bemoan that. They seem to be looking for any traces of treats atop the table. Gundam may have some somewhere on his person, but it is not time for them to feed yet! And he'd rather focus on asking these questions.]
No, I did not. But that is because of the entanglement of the time-space continuum. These Dark Devas came here from my future. Before I came here, I did not think to attempt to sense the future for their presence, so in a very rare occurrence, I was caught off guard by this dimensional displacement! [Because that's clearly a thing he can actually do.
He smirks as he recalls his reunion with the hamsters.]
Kehehe... They were indeed pleased to be reunited with me, however. Our powers were reunited at long last!
I see... then I suppose what I've heard must be true, about our departures and returns.
[It's nice to have a first-hand account, rather than a few promises in a pamphlet. Not that she doesn't believe the others can't best Grima without her, but she would like to be there when it happens, to take on the responsibility and whatever the outcome may be with the others.
She rests a hand on the table, opening it palm up to see if she might attract any of the hamsters' attention. The company of animals has always been a comfort, even if not as meaningful as those humans she's allowed herself to become close to.]
I was also reunited with someone when I arrived... you said that you had an ally here?
Yes, now you must truly understand the nature of coming and going between dimensions.
[One of the hamsters does respond to her open palm, skittering over and sniffing curiously at the tip of one of her fingers. Gundam seems mildly pleased as he surveys the hamsters' antics at the table, though Tiki's continued words catch his attention.
He glances up at her, with a slight chill rising in the air as he recalls Sonia's absence.]
...I did indeed say that. I had an ally here... but she, as well as many of my other mortal allies, have made it back to my original dimension already.
[Although there are a few soft shimmering lights in the air as she scratches under the hamster's chin, but the young man's effects settle over the table, and Tiki's attention would have been grabbed by the tone alone. Her gaze fills with sympathy, a few blue flowers blooming brighter for it as she replies softly.]
I'm sorry to hear it... but even though you may be apart now, I'm certain they are still with you in spirit. There is only so much dimensions can separate friends, after all, especially for someone so talented with evil magic.
[If there's a slight upturn to her lips, she'll simply say it's because of her hopefulness regarding Gundam and his friends, rather than any private amusement at playing along with his persona.]
[The hamster is quite pleased with his treatment! If animals had effects, this one's joy would put bipedal being's effects to shame.
The woman's sentiment may not be a particularly new one for Gundam, but it's still one that's welcome. Especially when it's punctuated by acknowledging his magic abilities. The chill starts to fade slightly, while hints of a rosy warm glow surround him, and he smirks in return.]
Heh. You're quite right. It's not something that upsets a fiend like me at all. [He says, despite that chill.] One day, I'll charge up enough power to properly realign the gates between dimensions, but that day has not yet come.
[He can't forget Sonia. But he'll live without her, for as long as he has to.]
It is good that you recognize my talent for the dark arts. Tell me, what name and titles do you bear? [He's actually asking a question without being prompted to!]
[Even with her limited understanding of this world and how it brings and returns those from other worlds, she feels certain enough in the statement. Nothing can truly separate friends.]
My name is Tiki. [She would normally leave it to that, but he did specifically ask for titles. Plus, she has a feeling that she won't have to worry about this one distancing himself or putting her on a pedestal for it.] The people of my world refer to me as Voice of the divine dragon, Naga, as it is my duty to deliver her will unto them. [When she bothers to say anything, anyway.] I suppose that means our powers would put us in opposition to each other, wouldn't it?
[Gundam's eyes widen as she mentions a divine dragon, and there's a few sparkles that briefly twinkle in the air.]
The divine dragon...
[He quickly clears his throat and steeples his fingers together to maintain his composure.]
Well met, Tiki. Kehehe... You are correct that our affinities are in opposition. Darkness and divinity would normally be locked in a clash that lasts to the end of days...
[A beat.]
And yet, I seek no quarrel with dragonkind. [They're good lizards brent.] So you are that being's avatar... Impressive.

So, what should I call you? I would hate to refer to a person of such power incorrectly.

[Then, he places a hand towards his forehead in a pose.]
I am history's greatest monster, Gundam Tanaka! Call me what you wish. Gundam, Tanaka, Great Overlord... it makes no difference to me!
