Mogwai sits at the fountain and gazes up at the sky. Her adventure was over, and it felt weird to just go back to quiet life. Suddenly, she sees a massive opening in the sky, lined with teeth. Massive fireballs streak down from it. She blinks... and the vision is gone. She looks around at everyone else, nobody seems to have noticed. But she's clearly unnerved.

In the distance, a rumbling is heard. The origin becomes obvious as a bus pulls in from the north, parking just shy of the fountain. Riko steps out, pockets a set of keys, and makes sure the door is closed, then heads toward the fountain and parks it on a bench. "Sup?" he says to Mogwai.

Altari walks into the fountain plaza, mttering quietly to herself, passing near a house she lets out a rather loud curse before urning to the wall and punching it, hard, making a decently loud *Crack* noise and pulling her hand away from the wall, cradling it with her other hand as she mumbles a few words through clenched teeth, the wall now sporting a decent sized spiderweb crack.

(Brandt) A teenage boy is seen sitting down at a bench by the fountain, struming a few notes on his guitar.

Kimen walks up to the fountain and takes a drink of the cold cool water, a long jump rope held tightly in one hand. It was a pretty busy day at the grocer and he had been running errands all day. Along with a few coins, the shopkeeper presented the child with the rope as a small gift for all the hard work he had done so far. He couldn't wait to get another chance to play with it.

Aralynn walks in toting her spear over her shoulder as she sits down on the side of the fountain with a bored expression. As she sits there she looks around at the deziens that crowd the fountain today. She brushes back her blonde hair behind her ear and yawns slightly not bothering to politely cover her mouth.

Mogwai suddenly hugs Riko "Hi Riko. I'm really glad to see you." she says, pulling away when she realizes how forward that looks "I've been doing some thinking lately, and I could use a friendly fa-" she's momentarily distracted by Altari punching the wall.

Kent was in the field nex to the fountain. The last time he did this, he was practicing for a fight, but this time...he looked like he was practicing for a fight. Old habits are hard to break. "One, two..." He muttered to himself. He stopped. He straightended his knees. Another thrust. "One, two, THREE!"

Riko smirks, and makes no attempt to move away, although his eyes do glance about to make sure Eevee wasn't around to get jealous over it. "Happy to help," Riko says calmly.

The Child looks up at the hylian woman who sat down at the fountain next to where she was drinking and smiles happily at her. "Hello there." Kimen said, "Been a long day?"

Altari cradles her hand against her chest, walking over to the fountain and sitting on the edge, taking a deep breath before setting the bones with a wince and a hiss of breath, looking a little dazed as she mutters a small phrase, white sparkles dancing between her hands.

(Brandt) The teen turns towards Altari confused. Still struming on the guitar, he says to her, "Is something wrong?"

Aralynn looks over at the child with a confused look not really expecting herself to be approached especially not by a child. "I suppose it has been a pretty long day." she replies with a slight shrug with her eyes closed. The hylian opens one of her eyes and looks at the child with a smile and chuckle.

Mogwai smiles back at Riko "Have you ever had the thought that something came a bit too easily? That you gained something you didn't earn, or that you failed to read the fine print? I'm kinda feeling that way about my own little quest. It appears over but... I can't shake this nagging feeling. Maybe I'm just not ready to return to a quiet life..."

Altari shakes her head as she slowly unclenches her jaw, her breathing coming more under control as her healing spell takes hold "Y-yeah, just... just fine. Heh, amazing what breaking a bone will do to your temper." she turns something of a weak smile towards the teen, before it fades as she looks curiously at the guitar "you play well?".

"Did you end up running around a lot today too? I ended up having to make a delivery to Crysta earlier for a lady with a sprained ankle, then there was one gentlemen who ordered something that needed to be delivered. And I also had to pick up a few things around town." Kimen said proudly. It really had been a lot of work but he had gotten it done quickly and without incident even!

"One, two, three... Head up Kent. Eye contact." his sword lowered a bit as he stopped his repetitions. He was trying to remember something. "No, it's not eye contact it's...I'm supposed to look at something in specific." Kent Raised his sword and slashed the air several times, trying to reposition his neck each time. "The wrist? It's all in the wrist..."

(Drifter) Qupoma makes her way to the fountain area with a slight yawn. She goes to sit down at the fountain...until she sees Mogwai and Riko. She makes her way over to the duo. "Oh, hi you two. How're things?" She asks, as she leans into Riko's right side gently.

Riko sighs, and leans back against the bench, letting his gaze drift skyward. "Yeah. I just had what you might consider a spiritual journey over that. I helped Finn get Salamando's blessing, but the mana spirit's lesson... well, it gave me a lot to think about. (c)

The boy smiles and says, "Yeah, I have been playing the guitar for as long as I remember. My name is Brandt, it is nice to meet you. What is your name?" Brandt stops playing to guitar and puts a hand out towards Altari.

Riko's demeanor improved as Qupoma showed up. "Hey, there," he says, sitting up straight. "Sorry for being out so long. I've been kinda busy lately."

(Scott) A scream of "HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" can be heard echoing in the skies as a distant figure plummets toward the earth, on a collision course for the fountain.

Aralynn grins at the childs hyperactive additude and laughs. "I suppose you could say I've been pretty busy. I managed to find a strong monster to fight, I didn't kill it though. It managed to elude me after I proved to be too much to handle." she adds with a wink.

Mogwai waves to Qupoma "Oh, just stressing out about imagined world destroying threats. But it's nicer now that you're here. How have you been?"

Altari smiles and goes to grasp Brandt's hand, shaking it as she realizes it’s still feeling slightly numb from the healing and moving to grasp again when she hears the sound of someone above, loking up and erecting a barrier around both herself and the teen, knowing what fountain landings are like, fortunately never having experienced one herself.

(Drifter) Qupoma shrugs, with a smile. "Been pretty good. Been practicing my Aeromancy some, traveling to some new places around the Cleft....other than that, nothing too amazing." Qupoma then wraps an arm around Riko's left side. "It's okay, Riko, it's fine." She adds, resting her head on his shoulder.

Kimen's eyes widened. The Hylian's story sounded pretty impressive, "I didn't know there were any big monsters around here." She said, mouth falling open slightly. She would have to be a little more careful next time she was wandering around outside of truce, "Where did you find it? And did it do anything bad?"

Kent heard a scream and immediately turned his head to its source. A child, roughly teenaged, fell from the sky. Kent sheathed his weapons and ran over as fast as he could to help the kid up. "Child, my name is Kent, exiled knight. Are you from around here?" He asked, trying to sound casual.

In his unbelievable yet somehow passable human-boy disguise, Zim approaches the fountain, hands clasped behind his back. Walking directly behind him, in a staggering dance is a green dog slurping on a straw as it holds a cup in its paws. Zim checks a the back of a blow up pig, which had a screen.

(Aralynn) in all honesty the monster in her story was just your average cave bear in a bad mood from being woken up. However she would never admit something like that so blatently. "It was a bit far away from here so you don't have to worry yourself."

"Gir, it won’t arrive for another day and you SPECIFICALL-" "-Ooh! Lookie da purdy 'H'-eeee-two-OH!" The dog interrupted before it ran to the fountain's base. Staring up at the water in awe..*Slurp-slurp* Zim looked at Gir with narrowed eyes. "Gir! We need to go back to the.. house, GIR! GIR! Gir? Ug!"

The water in the fountain rises up to greet the people gathering around it after the figure from above crashes into it! (Scott)

Riko smirks as Qupoma sits beside him, though the screaming in the distance catches his attention. Instinctively, he raises his shield, but unlike before, where the Blessing of Luna shone to block the oncoming wave, there was only wetness this time. Riko glances at his shield and realizes his blunder. "Guess they took me seriously," he mumbles as he puts his shield away and shakes the wet off. "Right, time to invest in an umbrella."

Brandt shakes Altari's hand and then resumes playing the guitar. "I still haven't gotten used to this new world yet, have you?" He looks over to Gir and says, "Huh, weird dog. Oh well."

Mogwai ducks down as the water splashes up against the barrier next to her, breathing out a little exasperated sigh as she recalls it's just water anyway. "Suppose I'm a little jumpy." She looks around at the others gathered "Wonder if these other folks have something fun for us to tag along for."

Oh good. No cranky monsters to avoid and no monsters that needed a stern talking to. Kimen unraveled the rope and held an end in each hand, eager to get to play with it now and not caring if he was in the middle of a conversation with an adult, "Do you always fight monsters?" He asked, swinging the rope over his head and avoiding it when it got down to his feet with a little hop.

(Drifter) Qupoma sputters and coughs as the water splashes over her. She shakes her head to dry off her fur. "I guess so, Riko. Oh well, at least it's only water...it could be worse." She says, off-handedly. "However, an umbrella might be a good idea." She says, as she lets herself drip dry.

Aralynn thinks about it for a moment trying to think of a way to explain it. "I guess you could say that. Although it’s not all I do, I also enjoy long walks on the beach and fine dining." she replies to the inquiry with a joke.

Kent was desperate to understand everything he could from here. Kimen seemed to know some, but not enough to satisfy Kent. "CHILD!" He said again, trying to get the new boy's attention. "From where do you hail, and by what means did you get here?"

Gir blew off Zim's words and hopped onto the bench swinging his feet and facing the fountain. Zim held out the pig-o-meter in one hand. He double took the others before a claw reached out of his backpack, stabbed the pig balloon, and retracted. The Balloon shot off in random directions, deflating along the way *Pftftftftpzt*

Gir looked up at Brandt. "Yoo say dat really fast! Weird-weird-weird-weird-" And so Gir seems to be caught in a loop. Zim watches Gir blatantly ignore him and Zim's bottom lip puckers in disappointment. "Gir, I'm LEAVING. Going to do things that humuuuuns do! So if you want to be a good man-pet, you would come too!"

Altari lets the barrier, and the water dripping from it, drop so she can finally take Brandt's offered hand, smiling again "I'm Altari, it's nice to meet you." she leans back a little on the edge of the fountain, ignoring the boisterous warrior and talking dog (not surprised considering how many she has seen before), "I have been here most of my life" gives a smallish shrug "so I guess you could say I'm used to it.".

Brandt looks in complete awe as the Dog talks. He says more to himself, "Did that dog just talk? I...think I'm just going to..." He grabs a small loaf of bread out of his backpack and tosses it in front of Gir. He turns back to Altari and says, "This place looks like a great place so far, and I have been hoping to go out and explore soon."

(Scott) The figure from above climbs out of the fountain, showing himself to appear to be an average human. "Man, where'd -that- come from? he whines as he finds a seat on the benches. After a moment, he decides it’s way too hot and removes his jacket, leaving it in a pile on the ground.

"Whatever it was, you're not the only one it's snatched," Riko explains to the newcomer. "Welcome to the Cleft.

Mogwai walks on over to Scott "Hey, glad to see another new face here. Doing alright from the trip?" It's completely missed her mind that this person may not have talking critters where he comes from.

(Drifter) "Yes, welcome to the cleft! Hope you enjoy your stay." She says, as she gives Riko a slight squeeze. "Yeah, I know how you feel. I know a few people who got dropped here not even knowing how it happened." She says.

Gir's loop was interrupted only by his giggling and the giggling was interrupted by bread tossed his way. "Heheh-Sammich? Sammich anyone? Theeeey are TOOONAH!" Gir's lid(or what would appear as just a head) flips open and five to ten tuna sandwiches catapult out at random. Gir's head closes and he smiles. "I shot sammiches.. out of mah HEAD!" Zim approached Gir to physically remove him but stops short to avoid the raining sandwiches.

Kimen continues skipping with her rope, though is still managing to talk. Clearly though, she did not get the joke. "Those sound like pretty boring hobbies." But most adults did boring stuff so it wasn't all that surprising to hear.

Zim wasn't a fan of food. "Ahhh!" Zim turns and starts running. "Death-tuna! GIRRR!" Shouts Zim as he runs, avoiding the rain of sandwiches.

Scott glances at the three moogles that greeted him. "Holy... crap, I've drifted into Munchkin Land."

Aralynn felt her eyebrow twitch ever so slightly when her joke ended up being relayed as boring. "Well sorry we can't all play jump rope all day." she replied keeping herself a cool head.

"Oy, watch your mouth," Riko says, growling at the human. "We're moogles, not midgets. Big difference, pal."

The M85 wanders in from the north, carrying a pallet of small boxes. It looks around for something, or someone, before it shrugs and puts the pallet to the side. Helios flies in a moment later. "That man isn’t here, it looks like. Put the units to the side and stand guard over them, we will look around." With that, Helios hovers over to the groups around the fountain.

(Drifter) Qupoma sighs "I take offence to that, sir! I'm not small, I'm demure. There's a difference!" She says, with a huff and turns her head away from the newcomer. "The nerve!" She says, as she tries to ignore him now.

"Oh! So that is what you guys are called!" Brandt says to Riko. He stands up and walks over to Riko and says, "Hello, my name is Brandt. It is nice to meet you, what is your name?" He stops playing the guitar and puts a hand out to Riko.

Kimen stopped jumping and stared at the woman, looking her over. She seemed perfectly healthy to him. "Well, why ever not?" Kimen asked, offering the rope to her. "I have to get going though. Nice talking to you lady!" Kimen said with a wave before skipping off.

Aralynn shakes her head and watches the kid skip off. "I swear, children today have no respect."

Kent's impatience wore down, but he decided to let the boy in the fountain be. One day he would figure out how to go back, but not yet. Besides, the boy was talking to the three imps floating around him instead. Kent noticed Kimen skipping away. Just missed the kid. Instead Kent sat next to the woman whom Kimen was chatting with. "Kimen is a good child, let him be. Sometimes I think the child knows more than I."

Mogwai fumes at Scott "You're gonna have to learn a lot about this world." She takes a deep breath to try and calm down "You're ignorant, that's to be expected. Just... head to a library or something, read some history and get up to speed. And try not to say anything that might be considered derogatory."

"I, ah-" the human stuttered, looking like he was about to start flailing. "Sorry, sorry, I totally didn't mean that. Slip of the tongue, I promise." (Scott)

"You should watch that tongue of yours," Riko huffs before addressing Brandt. "Riko," he answers simply, shaking the younger-looking human's hand.

(Drifter) Qupoma just sighs "I would hope so. Either way, please watch what you say from now on." She says, staying calm as she peeks at Riko and Brandt, wondering if she should introduce herself as well, or wait and see how it pans out. She decides to do the latter...no need to be hasty now.

Helios looks around, noticing Mogwai, Riko and Qpoma talking with some new humans. He flies over after a moment. "Hello everyone, Have you seen that man we were talking with last week around lately? We have a delivery for him."

Gir would pick up one of the head-tossed sandwiches up and take a few bites, smiling in between chomps. Zim raised an eye brow as the M85 came to the city's center. "Bulky, STUPID design, sluggish, and far inferior to the advanced Irken S.I.R. units." Zim said before looking at Gir eating his tuna sandwich. Zim felt like he was being watched.

Zim screams. "GIR!" Gir would jump to his feet, dropping his sandwich. "Yes, sir!" Gir said seriously and obedient. Zim smiled and galnced back at the M85 briefly. "mWe are leaving." Zim curled his fingers up and his arms were shakey. "NoOoW!" "OKAY!" Gir hopped off the bench and rejoined Zim.

Brandt nods at Riko and then recontinues to play the Guitar. He says to Riko, "Do you know of any great places to go adventuring? I've only be here in the new world for a few days."[*OOC*] Kusiga 'Ah yea kill off the smaller cheaper brands.'

Mogwai introduces herself to Brandt "I'm one of Riko's friends, Mogwai. It's nice to meet a proper gentleman around these parts. Most people I run into are either rude, or try to kill me. Barring my friends of course."

(Drifter) Qupoma decides that now might be a good time to introduce herself as well. "My name's Qupoma, nice to meet you. I'm surprised to meet someone as, how can I put this, mature? Yeah, mature as you. It's a nice change." She says, with a smile.

Zim re-clasps his hands behind his back and leans down politely to the dog. "We've got nightmares to-er I mean CHOCOLATE bars to prep and sell for the grrrEAT demise-er I mean FUNDRAISER, Gir." Gir smiles and drops his head to one side. "Okie-doke!" Gir said before finishing off his sippy-stuff

They both started away from the fountain."This time I want you to just practice wheeling the cart. I cant afford anymore set backs, GIR!" Gir wasn't listening. He would just be dancing along behind Zim. "Doo-de-doo bah-bahboop!" Zim continued to spout of vague plans to the inattentive dog as they headed south.

Mogwai shakes her head at Helios "No, sorry. I'm afraid I was a bit too distracted by the fight last week to get a good idea of who you were talking to

(Drifter) Qupoma glances over at Helios, used to the floating core by now. "I don't know who your talking about, Helios. Mind clarifying a bit?" She asks the floating core, because she has no idea who he's trying to address...or get us to address.

Riko scoffs at Qupoma's remark, but doesn't otherwise respond. It was a good choice of words for some people, though. "Couldn't tell you, but I've kinda been busy lately. There's a good arena south of Wutai, but you don't look like much of a fighter," he says, adding "No offense." as an afterthought.

Altari pats brandt on the shoulder as she stands, smiling "sorry, but I need to run out to the store to grab something, it was nice meetimg you" she walks east, towards the boardwalk.

Helios seems to shrug. "Oh well. We suppose tha we will keep the shipment safe until we see him again. In any case..." Helios pauses for a moment. "Say, Mogwai, you know where most of the mana stones are located, right? Would you be willing to lend us some assistance in finding them?"

Brandt says to Mogwai and Qupoma, "It's nice to meet you Mogwai and Qupoma."

Riko raises an eyebrow at Qupoma. "Uh, no. I was talking to Brandt. You know, the one who asked about adventure and stuff?"

(Drifter) Qupoma just simply shrugged, slightly red faced as she does.

Brandt says to Riko, "I'll have to check that arena out, thanks!" He nods at Riko and then continues to play the guitar.

Mogwai ponders this "Well, I would be willing to help. Though, I have been doing some thinking lately. They seemed a bit too ready to grant us their powers, I wonder if there might be something I'm not getting... so, yeah. Seek them at your own risk."

The man strides in past Altari as she heads to the docks, looking at her quizzically like he's searching for some clue to who she is, she simply smiles and nods to him as she walks onward. Demonicor simply shakes his head as she passes, nobody he'd know, and he proceeds to walk towards the fountain area, coming up somewhat behind the tall robot as he reaches into his pocket.

Riko sighs, but is unable to supress his mild chuckle. His smirk fades at Mogwai's warning, however, but he shrugs at that. "That's not going to be a problem," he responds vaguely.

"Hmmm... Now that you mention it, they did seem unusually willing to help, given that they are supposed to be guarding the mana whatever it is they are guarding." Helios thinks for another moment after Riko comments. "It is indeed suspicious, but we are not one to look a gift horse in the mouth."

(Drifter) Qupoma raises an eyebrow "Huh? I agree that sounds suspicious, but as long as they don't mind giving them out, what is there to worry about? Sure, maybe something will happen, but as long as the spirits give us their power..nothing to worry about...right?" She asks then, her cheeks still slightly rosy.

Brandt looks at the three moogles and the weird robot confused and says, "Spirits? What are you guys talking about?"

Riko shakes his head and leans back against the bench. "Things are seldom that easy. Especially with beings that trandscend mortality."

Mogwai pulls out her quartz crystals and channels the power of Salamando through it, warming the area "The elemental spirits of mana: Lumina, Salamando, Undine, Jinn, Gnome, Dryad, Luna, and Shade. They have a strong tie to the base magic of this world, and their blessings are a thing of legend. However, the reality is making me question a few things."

Helios nods. "Indeed. They are certantly very suspicious." Meanwhile, the M85 notices the man standing behind it and turns around. It leans down and peers at him before standing up and calling out to Helios across the square. "Oh, excuse us for the moment." Helios flies over to the man. "You are here for your order?"

Brandt nods and then says, "I see. Do you know of any that are close to here?"

Riko shrugs idly. "I do," he admits. "But he's a total ass who'll make you fight your best friend just to make a point about the value of life." With that, Riko leaned toward Brandt and whispered in the human's ear. "Let me give you a bit of advice. Don't fuck with him."

The man pulls his hand from his pocket, 5 pieces of gold resting in the palm of his hand and he presents the to the M85 "I forgot to pay you back and thank you for the ticket" he smiles up at the robot before turning to Helios "I actually will be needing one or two extra things... how are the cores coming along by the way?" he seems alot more relaxed today than he did a week ago. (Demonicor)

Helios takes the gold, putting it into that storage thingy he has. "Oh, the M32s? Your shipment is right over there." Helios motions to the pallet that the M85 had carried in earlier. "We could activate them now, but the cores won’t work without being charged by whatever it is you use." Helios pauses for a moment. "You said that you needed some more things?"

Mogwai ponders this for a moment "Technically Undine is the closest. I'd recommend going to see Sage Joch up in the Loftarosa mountains. You'll likely find just his apprentice, but they know more about them than anyone. They can set you on your way. If you'd like, I could help take you there.""

(Drifter) Qupoma looks up at the sky. "Well, it's been fun, but I must be off. Toodles." She says, pecking Riko on the cheek and skips off to the south, towards the Inn.

Kent leaned back on the bench, The woman having left him. Wait, was that a knife on her leg? Was that Consiland? "Madame, Wait!" He reached out, but it was too late, she had left. He sighed in defeat. "Oh, isn't that tragic slayer. You can't even remember the face of your own date." Kent turned around to see his reflection talking again. "I'll figure it out. And I'm still going to kill you."

The smirk returned to Riko's face as Qupoma walked off, staring idly at her as she left. Then Kent's comment about killing someone entered his ears, and he saw the boy staring at his reflection. "Some people," he sighed quietly.

Brandt nods to Mogwai and then says, "Yeah, I would love that. Thanks!"

Nods slowly, a little reluctant to do the activation in the middle of the square "well, I believe I will also need something that can delicately manipulate objects, though I will settle for something capable of switching out the power cores... Can we move outside of the city limits to activate these?"(Demonicor)

"Well, we don't see why not. M85, grab that pallet and bring it with us to the canyons." Helios looks over at the man. "Well, we could make you a repair drone, but we need some specefic materials for that. Anyway, come along." Helios begins heading to the canyons, followed by the M85.

"We can head out whenever you're ready." Mogwai says to Brandt, before nudging Riko on the shoulder "I'll see you later, you go see if you can catch up to Qupoma."

Demonicor nods and follows after the floating robot, thinking that it might be preferable to do this near the imps, a good enough source of energy as any other.

"Heh. Getting late anyway," Riko shrugs. After looking at the fountain and realizing the human that fell into it is gone, he shrugs again, decides that he doesn't care, then gets in his bus and drives southward, stopping shortly to leave and enter the inn.

Brandt says 'Alright, lead the way.'




[----ELSEWHERE----]




"Here should be as good a spot as any. You can begin gathering energy for the power cores while we unpack them." Helios begins manipulating the various crates off of the pallet and letting the M85 pry them open.

Demonicor nods and walks a short ways to one of the local residents, who is doing an impsong at the group anyways, he holds out both hands towards it and the roly it stands on top of, the imp's eyes glazing over as it falls under his sway, he simply walks over to the two robots, not bothering to see if the creatures are following, which they are "this should do nicely"

Not paying any particular attention to what the man was doing, Helios nods. "Yes, yes, that's fine. Just take the energy and put it into the cores so we can insert them." He motions to a row of gunmetal grey and glass cylinders lying on the pallet.

The man utters a few quiet words and motions to the imp, who explodes into multiple streams of green energy which spiral towards Demonicor before arcing around him to fly at the cores, the imps body beginning to decay into liquid and dust even before it hits the ground.

Demonicor chants again, changing a few words as he motions to the roly, its eyes widening as a fog of some sort rolls out of its mouth, far more gas than it could have possibly held in its lungs as it too decays into air and liquid, the fog settling at first before coalescing around the cells, both spells absorbing into the cylinders, activating them, though possibly not even half a charge.

Helios watches the display silently. After the cores are done charging and the glass glows a sickly green color, he finally speaks. "Impressive light show." He picks up a core and one of the M32s. "Alright, to put the core in, you just open this plate here and slot it in." Helios finished demonstrating as the M32 hums to life, rising out of Helios' magnetic grip and hovering at attention.

Helios nods, satisfied. "Ok, we will head off to go and get started on that repair unit you wanted. Good luck with the rest, they should already be programmed to follow your orders."

Demonicor nods slowly "Thank you... also, would it be possible to dou- no, to triple that order of cells? And will that repair drone need a cell of its own? if so, it would be best to have a base to charge itself at, or a second drone to change one for it..."

Helios looks back, "Yes, we can do all of that. Don't worry. And the drone is solar powered."

Demonicor winces a little "hopefully a sun lamp will act as a substitute?"

You say 'Yeah, that would work. Anyway, on to building this thing.'

Demonicor nods and waves "How much do or will I owe you for this"

You say 'we can discuss payments later. Dont worry about it.'

Helios leaves the man to finish activating the M32s and heads deeper into the canyons, followed by the M85.
