[color=Gold]"Heh, even if you were, it's not your fault if I'm just a bad listener. Don't beat yourself and get bent out of shape on my account."[/color] Mars said with some of his usual levity sneaking it's way back into his voice. [color=Gold]"And don't worry, Candice. I know I can count on you, and . . . just having you listen does help out a lot."[/color]

[color=Gold]"But enough with  that, I've taken up more than enough of your time. Anything happening in your neck of the woods?"[/color]

Reggie's eyes suddenly popped open as he felt himself being caught, blinking rapidly as he found himsef flipped over and set down on his feet. He'd first stare down at his feet, then at the top of the cliff he'd fallen from, before settling his gaze on his savior. He first opened his mouth to say something, but all that seemed to come out was some soft laughter, which quikly, turned into a fit of giggles mixed with tears of relief as he fell to his knees, taking a moment to kiss the ground and thank go dhtat he was alive, before his mouth alerted him that dirt was gross and his brain that dirt was also extremely unsanitary, causing him to quickly enter a spat of spitting out any stray particales that made it's way into his mouth and rubbing out the taste of it on his sleeve. This would be followed by another bout of spitting as he forgot that he was covered in the strange oily substance that seemed to lubricate the gem drills inner machinery.

Once he had calmed down enough to consider his surroundings, he noticed that their were two humans([i]how did he miss that guy?[/i]), that the girl was gorgeous and that he might be in love, that he was wearing nothing but oil-coated common clothes, his hair was a mess, he was surrounded by gems, that the girl had a single gem in her ear([i]must be a gauge.[/i]), that the Emo-punk Gem had showed up(and Big Blue doesn't seem to be a fan), and that he had spent about 5 seconds too long sitting on the grown staring at the Orange-haired girl. He quickly scrabbled to his feet, turning to address the Gem that had saved his life.

"I thank you for saving my life Carnelian -wonderful name by the way, those are such beautiful gemstones-, and I will take your words to heart and make my exit, as will the other two humans who are also in attendance." As he spoke, Reggie would walk up to Maeve and Carmen and start to push them in the direction the nearest exit from the Kindergarten, cnotinuing to talk the entire way. "Come now, lets just leave the Gems to their business and all that- Oh, hello, didn't see you there- take our frail, human saves back to town, yes. Wouldn't want to get in the way now would we? Nonononono, that would be bad, [sub][sub]and possibly fatal[/sub][/sub], so let's just keep walking, keep moving, and over all, have a good day." Reggie's greeting to Serpentine would be somewhat lost in his constant stream of words, which was more than somewhat propelled by his increasing fit of nerves as he felt that they were in the middle of an increasingly dangerous situation.

While he was guiding the two out, he reached for his pocket and pulled out a smartphone, quickly dialing in a number, followed by a quick set of texts between him and some other person, followed by a few muttered curses, grumbles, and more texts being sent. After a while, he'd suddenly shove it back into his pocket, looking somewhere between content and agitated.

"So guys, what are your names? Mines Reggie, well technically it's Reginald Alexander Dorvain, but I prefer the former. It's catchy, and flows off the tongue much easier." If either of the two were savvy to the goings on of technology and science would recognize the Dorvain name as the name of the leading tech company in the field of researching the alien artifacts littered across the world, as well as being known as one of the largest weapon manufacturers in the world.
