"What, you mean you aren't certain of it? How very interesting, L, all things considered. Well, then, let me rephrase it as this - How did you arrive? Are you even aware of how you got here?"
There's only one way in here, and one way out, as far as Mello's told him - a Door, that behaves in random patterns of who it draws in and who it releases. Sharon and L were the last two people he was aware of that the Door had taken back and thrown.... wherever else, homeworld or otherwise. And, well, himself. He was returned to his homeworld at the very exact moment as he left, in the middle of his series of murders to defeat L.
He wonders if that applies to everyone who leaves this place. But himself, alone, is not sufficient evidence to where others go when they depart these caves. Or.... wherever they are now. He has no recognition of the scenery around him. He's not entirely certain why the Door drew him back in, either. He wasn't entirely aware such an option existed, though it would make sense to some degree. And... if L can be resurrected from the dead, again, as Mello had told him, then he certainly can be, too.
So much information, not enough data. And it's enough to frustrate Beyond. He would have to do some checking around Hadriel, to see if he could piece any of it together. After he's finished with L.
And, speaking of - that crocodile and poisoning statements. He's not very fond of humouring much of anyone, and certainly not if that someone is L. L is a difficult piece to predict, as complicated as any game of chess ever would be. And he knows these questions are merely to sidetrack. Merely to toy, test, and pressure the opponent into making the first move into the downfall.
But he's already calculating - L didn't put up a very decent fight back in Hope's Temple. In fact, it took a simple slip, and Beyond had that knife, and struck just as rapidly to bring L to his knees. He wonders if it would be so easy a second time. Of course, anyone who chooses to live often will take measures to prevent such an event from more than the one time.
And it raises questions - Did L choose to live back then? Would L choose to live now? He's trying to find the pattern, trying to find the reasoning as to why L is refusing to acknowledge the previous events.
Perhaps he should... test the waters, so to speak. Just a little further.
"Well, perhaps we should find out. How I'm feeling, I mean. After all, motion kicks in the reaction of agents much faster."
And with that, he stands himself up, mocking the image of L's posture as he hunches his shoulders and sticks his hands in his pockets. He takes one step, and then a few more, heading towards L, and his eyes never leave the other man. Watching, anticipating. What would L now do?
