**Pewter City Museum**<br/><br/>Although a little startled to hear that Rayne new his grandson and grandaughter-in-law, it was the words of Alphonse that caught his attention most.<br/><br/>"I think I'll be okay." He nodded, painfully pressing his fingers against the tender area. He'd feel it in the morning, that was for sure, but it wasn't as if he didn't get himself in trouble on a regular basis. Of course he knew that with his older, more fragile bones, he'd be dealing with broken bones often. He might even have a cracked rib at the moment, but it was just a bi-product of doing what he'd chosen to do.<br/><br/>He was more relieved that the girl was alright, and that the museum curator had managed to escape any major harm. The security guard was also safe, but he was crouching next to his fallen monster, visibly shaken. Samuel walked over to him and looked down.<br/><br/>"Are you alright?"<br/><br/>The security guard shook his head and forced a strong response, but Samuel could tell that he was distraught. In the commotion, the guard hadn't noticed when his monster had reached the limit of its strength, and had failed to call it back. Looking down at it now, Samuel was fairly confident the creature was dead. Motioning the curator over, he told her to go call the pokemon Center. maybe they could have a nurse up here quickly, but it wouldn't matter much. It was just a formality, and all of them knew it.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Samuel returned to his small group and looked at Alphonse.<br/><br/>"Fortunately, I have more money to spend, and as it is, it's not worth much to me anymore." It didn't even seem to bother him, being asked for more money. "But we've got to find out more about those people.....If they're after the incarnus, then we have good reason to worry about them."<br/><br/>He turned to Renna and held out his hand finally. "It's good to meet you too, young lady. I only wish it would have been under better circumstances. If you don't mind my asking, how do you know about Charity and Gary?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>**Cinnabar -- Lab**<br/><br/>"It's possible you may find more. Regardless, the Dragon Clan has an interest in assisting you. A very powerful interest. If you don't mind, we could arrange to have you come to Blackthorne. You might need to talk to Lance before you start." A pause, and a change in tone that suggested Claire was smirking. "Not to mention, I'd like to see some of the tablets for myself. Maybe I could tell you what I think they say."
