Lena chuckled, "I'm giving you a hard time, Kan-chan, all there is to it! I don't think it's terrible, just you."
Looking around, she sighed, "WHere are you guys...?"

"Oh, boy..." Arrow said, rubbing her temples.
Arrow took a moment to let her mind process everything she'd heard. She wanted to believe this man Batrias was nuts, but her heart wouldn't let her do it. Something about him, maybe his seriousness...that had to be it...convinced her that he wasn't lying. His words had come out evenly, and he would have hesitated if he'd been telling lies, trying to think of what to say next. Except he hadn't paused, hadn't stopped to think, he'd just kept talking, and, if it was a story, it was one he'd practiced at some length. That also meant he wasn't insane because some motive had driven him to practice it and some motive had driven him to use it. Crazy people didn't have motives, not really- as Arrow knew all too well.
"All right then, say I believe you," Arrow said, "If it's true, why are you telling me this?"
"Because you asked," Batrias replied, a smile lighting on his aging face, "And because I've been alone or on this mission of mine for too long. For a while there, I forgot that there are people in the world, that they have emotions, and that I'm not the only one alive with any kind of rationality in my head. So, that's that. I got driven here in a battle, and you came here of your own will. I cannot believe it to be coincidence."
"Whoa, stop right there." Arrow's voice became firm, commanding. "The next thing you're going to say is that it was fate or God or whatever that brought us together, right? Well, that's donkey basketball, as far I'm concerned, total silliness. I don't know about God, but fate doesn't drive people's lives. They have choices- we have choices- and when you say it's not coincidence you take away the fact that I chose to come here. I didn't even tell you why. One of the wrestlers I used to admire, a guy by the name of Meng, came from Tonga, and I thought I could get rid of my own shortcomings here. It's not because I want anything to do with your damn mission or your damn Blacksmith and his consnagged armors, it's because I made a decision, and I directed where my life would go. Don't ever try to say otherwise, or I'll have you for breakfast, old man."
Batrias burst out laughing.

Pretea Lena chuckled, "I'm giving you a hard time, Kan-chan, all there is to it! I don't think it's terrible, just you." Looking around, she sighed, "WHere are you guys...?" Ryo must have been daydreaming, because he walked right into Lena. He looked up, running a hand through his dark hair, "I'm sorry."

"OH!" Lena stumbled back in surprise, blinking rapidly as she dropped her phone to the ground. Rubbing her nose, she winced, waving Ryo off, "No, I should have been paying attention too."
Behind her, Rowen saw the whole thing and began laughing. IT was all too much, and he began laughing, explaining why with the phrase, "SHe's been looking for you or Dani...."

Batrias burst out laughing.
"You couldn't, no matter how strong you are," he said, amused. "And there's something you haven't picked up on."
"What's that, old man?" Arrow McKenzie asked.
"There are people manipulating events in this world for their own personal gain," Batrias said, "Some to gain the armors, some for other reasons. I am one of those, even though I've been on this island for some time now."
"You keep talking in circles, consarn it," Arrow sighed. "I can't decide whether you're making all this up or whether it's really true."
"The more unbelievable it sounds, usually, the truer it's going to be," Batrias replied. "You should keep that in mind at all times. Yes, I realize that many of the things I have told you sound preposterous, but I can give no more evidence...ah, no, I actually can."
Batrias stood up and showed Arrow the white crystal. Arrow shrugged as if to say, okay, so what? Then, the crystal shone with light. Arrow covered her eyes against the light, and, when she looked again, Batrias had- was it transformed? Yet the voice coming from the- person? thing?- was the same thing.
"This is the Armor of Holy, as I have told you," he said.

Ryo nodds a bit, "I was just looking for Danni myself. Kaylyn came back inside, but Dannin hasn't been seen for a while."
He looks at Lena, "Whatcha need?"

Lena grumbled out, "A new nose?..." After mumbling that under her breath, she put the phone against her ear, "A moment, Kan-chan."
Turning to Ryo, she sighed, "Alright, Kanita is actually here in California, at a park that apparently has a statue at it. She wants me to let her know where I am so she can come to meet me....But I won't do it if you guys don't clear it. I know trouble has been afoot, and I am not going to try and ask for more then is needed. Is it ok with you that Kanita heads over here?" With that, Lena sighed, "Sheesh...this is what happens when I let peeps know I'm still alive..."

"Cali, lesse," Ryo says, "we're about a two day drive from there (really is, but if you want to fastforward if you want). Or a two hour flight."

Lena thought about it, nodding at each of the points he said, then blinked, "It's clear for her to come then?"
SHe raised an eyebrow, wanting to make sure. Being hunted by the goverments was no easy thing...and while she wasn't associated with that...YET...she didn't want to cause trouble.

Lena chuckled, nodding as she thougth about it, "Trust me...she can more then..."
The girl sighed, looking at a wall as she spoke out, "She found out that I don't just talk to the insane voices in my head....she figured out my secret on that scale.."
Catching Rowe to the quick, "I know, not that it's that hard anyways. But she hasn't muttered a word about it to anyone, and she's known for over a year."

Ryo smiles, "Well then, the more the merrier. If you can remember directions, give 'em to her."

Lena smiled at Ryo, nodding affimatviely as she darted to the side, brining the phone to her ear, "Hey, Kan-chan? You still there?"
Rowen watched Lena bounce off as he shook his head, looking ack at Ryo with a wry smile, "I almost thought you'd say no cause of all the stuff going down."

Ryo shakes his head as he looks at Rowen.
"Normally, I would," he says, "but we need all the allies we can get right now. Lena is a good girl, so I trust those who know about her ability."
