[It's about what he expected to hear. Without taking his eyes off of Inaba's he ticks away the evidence bullets.] War torn worlds, alignment with greater powers, inter-reality travel...

When one is aligned to a power, we have defenses we otherwise didn't. But we lack abilities we'd otherwise have. While I have considerable control over who or what sees my emotions or can hear my mind... A crystal ensures I can always be contacted so long as I'm wearing it. That includes in dreams.

[He pulls his crystal out and this time it's a radiating hope star.] I suspect whatever is going on with this game opened holes between realities as well. In times of crisis, the Arehtei lend power to those in need. Aiadia and Piphron can't with how corrupted they are. And you had the strongest connection with people of my world.

[Pale gold light flows around him like water and curves into scales. A dragon takes shape, circling his body before fading away.] Of those people, I'm the only liason. That means my connection to power and the Arehtei, is direct. Whether subconscious or not, you called for help. And in your situation well, it was more than enough hope and despair to draw Her eye.
