Emilia turned to Lystra and immediately hid behind her, clasping both of her shoulder lightly. She was the one with the weird shiny shield after all. No safer wall than a strange magical artifact, or whatever the hell that giant plate was. The stranger looked at Lystra, his bright eyes giving off an oddly dull expression.

	[color=007236]"I am not injured. I am covered in Kalo's blood,"[/color] The man said, rather matter-of-factly. He paused and glanced at Lystra's shield. His eyes widened slightly and he looked back to her quizzically. [color=007236]"Where did you get that?"[/color] He asked, pointing at the disk of metal that Lystra wielded. 

	From behind him, Emilia noticed the hulking figure of Kalen making his way across the grassy plain, towards where they were standing. He extended his arm upwards and waved at the two girls, but was too far away to be heard if he spoke. Emilia looked at him and smiled, hopping up and down and waving back. The green haired stranger pulled his head back slowly, and craned his neck around to look at Kalen, but returned his gaze to Lystra again, awaiting an answer patiently.
