Hitomi<br/><br/>"So far as I know there were no...wards doing what I saw," I tell her, thinking about it and trying to explain what I felt, "A pyramid, like that one, is an amazingly stable formation for earth energy, and it felt like it was the building itself that was pushing, not anything else.  Either it was an opposed element to Earth energy, or the chaos of the casino was jumbling things and pushing it away.  I would estimate the first, if I had to guess.  I do suppose that there would be other Accorded Neutral grounds, but I have never been to others before."<br/><br/>I suddenly stop and turn, hearing someone behind us.  I am distinctly aware of my bracelet, a pair of intertwining strands, one of Jade, the other of silver.  It aids me in my defense, allowing me to control attacking energy better.  I look at the man approaching and ask, a bit tiredly, "Now what?  If you are trying to pick me up, I<em>really</em>do not have the time or patience for it today."
