Rowan nodded. "I can stand up on my own. I don't need to run anymore. I may not remember my home state, or if I'm even a citizen of this country, but I can handle myself just fine." He started to look away from Carter, as if no longer acknowledging him. Rowan flipped up his hood, as if to try and shield his face from views from the side. He sighed, nodding to Sky. "I met you... about ten minutes ago. But I understand you really well. When the chips are down, I'll be locked in a lab again, under watch by a -new- freak with a pen and a pad." He then curled up on the edge of the boat in fetal position, gritting his teeth. He shivered a wee bit, trying to form a wooden dome around himself on the boat.
