The Nevadian turned his attention away from the Queen and his orders being transmitted space side to his men, the Man In Whites presence commanding his attention. Held had been close enough to witness the power he bore during the battle against Auroc, but not far enough to take an ideal measure of the man.
Whoever he was, his power loomed large even in an obviously neutral resting state. It was difficult to fathom, for the Nevadian, who---
Wait.
The Rose Red of the Shingan manifested itself, as the Nevadian found himself coming to a realization.
"You're a human?" Held replied, clearly incredulous, not expecting to see anyone from Earth who was not a member of his party. He looked the man over, now truly taking his measure.
He was certainly one of the four great power sources I picked up, alongside Parsely, Sesheem and Auroc, but....I never assumed the newcomer would be an earthling...I thought--Well, it doesn't matter.
He rubbed the base of his head as he looked the man over.
There was a disconcerting feeling unlike any the Nevadian held previously. One the one hand, a vague familiarity in body and being that he could not quite place, and on the other, a foreign, almost alien existence that he was certain he had never encountered before.
Still, The Nevadian was hardly one to let such disturbing details take precedent over his social skills.
"....You don't look like you're with the Galaxy Police, and I thought I knew all the humans who even could find this place, never mind be of any use...."
He laughed nervously. The man certainly seemed unpleasant, but not entirely beyond winning over.
"You were certainly more than useful, I can admit that much...."
I couldn't have missed an energy like his before we set off the Reshlan, could I? No, that's impossible.
