It's strange, indeed--every aspect of this is. From this world, to the rift, the demons, even the Outsider is, somehow, stranger than before. Or, Corvo muses, perhaps he's more normal, and this in itself is strange. And he's helping him, in a manner that does not involve giving him supernatural powers and then telling him to do whatever he wants.

That change, at least, is a welcome one.

Corvo nods, mouth set, expression grim. "Together, then. Afterwards, a longer explanation would be welcome." A pause, and then his lips twitch in what's almost a smile, as he mutters what's almost a joke. "If I'm not dead by then." But he hasn't suffered and survived through what he has to die here, in an unknown world, against an unknown foe. So he grips his sword, and rushes the demons.

Or, close to it, at least--before he can reach the demons, he jumps, higher than any human should be able to, and holds out his left hand. Then he blinks, one moment there, another behind the demon, sticking his sword into it. An unknown foe, but they are killed all the same.
