Bruce blinked before taking the communication device from Jenso, ingesting everything he'd said quickly and then looking back down at the phone before speaking. [color=0072bc]"Hello."[/color] he said, simply. He glanced down at the blade, deciding that the easiest way to transport it would be in his otherwise empty sheath. [color=0072bc]"I look forward to working with a friend of Jenso."[/color] Bruce manipulated the earth beneath the sword again, coating the hilt of it with stone and earth to avoid direct contact with it. Even with that measure taken, he still chose to make the earth on the sword levitate and angle it so it slid into his sheath rather than pick it up himself. [color=0072bc]"I don't know what we can learn from it that might help us,"[/color] Bruce said, looking back at the phone. [color=0072bc]"But better in our hands than with Vale regardless."[/color]
