Despite his very drowsy looking demeanor, Ethan was no stranger the battle. He had been in more then his fair share of fights. So the thought of going up against a fallen didn't really scare him. They tended to stick to tossing light spears at people, which was a tactic so simple and predictable that Ethan could plan around it. Also, they seemed to shed feather really quickly since they tended to get everywhere, yet there was never a single bald spot on their wings from what he could see...it was weird. Oh, wait...that's not important. Oh well. While in fight right behind Stella, he suddenly got a message from Faye. Ethan sent a quick reply using The Passion to type before putting his cell phone away

With his cell phone tucked away, his mind wandered to the upcoming battle. As he imagined of the fight at hand, his blood began to boil with adrenaline and he felt...

...Awake.

Something people tended to assume about Ethan when they first looked at him was that he didn't have perfect 20/20 vision. That was understandable of course, most other people couldn't fathom any possible reason for someone to wear fake glasses, except for Ethan of course. His glasses didn't have normal lens, they had regular glass. What this meant, for those unable to instantly understand it, as that the glass in his glasses was made of a reflective substance...one that he could use The Passion on. So he touched one of the lens to get an overview of the battlefield ahead of time. As Stella and him touched down, he took out three playing cards and put Flashbang Glyphs on each of them. Then, using The Passion on his glasses, he got a look at the fallen's point of view, and with that, he was able to extend The Passion behind him to make three more Flashbang Glyphs without him seeing them. With that done, he got to work "well, well, well. If it isn't my old friend; Esidisi. I thought I had seen the last of you back in Greece, but I'm sure you thought the same of me. This time, things won't go the same way; with the Stone Mask destroyed, you can't use it to protect yourself anymore. So now, I'll pay you back for what you did to Zeppelli" In stark contrast to before, his voice was full of energy.
