Well that was a vague descriptor. Maybe he didn't really know either. That was fine. Not everyone knew everything. He was happy just to... kind of get some modern knowledge. He would have so much to learn now, and probably no time to. Well, he at least needed enough to survive out here alone. These people seemed happy to help with that, probably to get rid of him. Who would want to keep someone probably about to be relentlessly hunted like a wounded deer around? Too bad for the Mulian's he was a bear.
His eyebrows crept up at the words 'Not that I don't believe you'. That meant he believed him? That was... Raldon didn't know what to do with that information. Everything he had recounted had been something he wouldn't even believe if he hadn't lived it. His expression sank once more at the question of 'other machines' in Fiji. "I don't know. Rah is the first..." what word should he even use here? "Ever. First ever everything I ever met or encountered." He frowned hard, thinking back. It afforded Lemuel several long moments of silence.
"The night I ran... There were a lot of strange things. It's the night I learned my mother and so called friends were messing with my memories. Someone I thought was a jerk had tried to warn me, but I'm pretty sure that he was just doing it for his own interests. I am still greatful for him for that and regret throwing him in the ocean. "And then these really really weird things came out of no where." His jaw tightened, lips pursed, and fists clenched. He hated remembering this part. He still had nightmares about it, all these months later. "Glowing small creatures that when they touched someone they broke apart into black ash. Before that day though...." He shook his head, "I don't know. My memory is unreliable. I could have seen things and had them erased."
Raldon sighed and shifted his position into a meditative one. He steadied his breathing and calmed himself. Bad memories would need confronted. The lingering emotional wounds would heal and scar, but he would survive. He thought through the events of that night, deciding to omit some details, like the girl... Rah's soul who lead him to the egg, kept him company, and guided him. "I think most of the people in Fiji are innocent and unknowing too. There was this..." His face scrunched up, how would he even describe that? "Woman in white with a mask that turned into a giant woman in white with. It's voice was so..." He shuddered, "It sounded like that time Ellen demonstrated nails on a chalk board. I don't know what happened, I think she did something that knocked me out. When I woke up I was on a sandy island with a broken tin can with an old man inside and then we just... stayed there after the man left. I asked RahXephon where they came from and Rah took me to a giant crab."
