Tanya gaped at it, "Wait...you're saying you're that you're a Precious? And Precious' have wills of their own? They can think for themselves? That's...that's incredible," Tanya said with a small laugh, "wow...so how long have you been aware?" she asked.

"I wouldn't go as far to state that I myself am a Precious, I am but an extension of their will." He replied, "However, I have been self-aware for... I believe several thousands of years." He tried to remember.

"S-several thousand years?" Tanya exclaimed before laughing, "Wow...that is really amazing, and alright an extension of their will...like projecting yourself? Fair enough, so I guess that means you've seen the rise and fall of hundred of empires, you've lived in history itself, you are history itself," she said becoming more excited.

"Yes, I do possess considerable knowledge of the world but it wasn't as I have been active the entire time. There were periods where I entered hibernation as the Precious weren't threatened." He elaborated.

"Still, you would be useful to historians all over the world, they would love to talk to someone who was there at a crucial moment in history, though...I doubt a guardian like you would love to talk to humans huh?" Tanya reasoned.

"Considering that of the Humans I have met, a good amount of them have done naught but take advantage of my lack of understanding for Human concepts as well as think me a fool to let them walk away with the Precious--no, I would not." He told her, a tone of bitterness present, "Although I feel as if I can trust you. To a point, at least."

"Well that's good to know," Tanya said before biting her lower lip, "this might be a really, really bad time to mention this, but I work for Drake Foundation...though if you hear me out I actually have a very good reason to work with them."

His eyes instantly flashed red at hearing the name of 'Drake', he stepped forward, "Then please, I beg you to start explaining... Now." He demanded with cold tone, judging by the end of her sentence, she was aware of the grudge shared between him and Jack Drake. His fists became tightly clenched as a orange-gold energy radiated within them. Stressing his growing anger further.

"Okay...very bad move," Tanya whispered, "anyways I didn't join them out of my free will or anything, well it was free will but not exactly 100% free will. You see I was approached in a museum gala by Jack a while ago and he offered me the position to be one of his Hunters. Naturally I turned him down, however it got me thinking about the type of guys that's going to be working with him, I mean they're all the profiteering kind of people who don't care at all about history right? So then that got me thinking what if one of them finds a Precious that...I don't know has the power to destroy the world or something and they accidentally set it off. That would put a huge damper in our lives wouldn't it? So I decided that better then letting them go ahead and do something stupid I would join up, go with them, and make sure that they don't destroy the world while protecting the Precious from being sold off to god knows where," Tanya explained as she sighed, "good enough reason?" she asked hesitantly.

"Its far better than anything else I have been fed." He sounded as if he didn't believe her for the moment, his eyes returning to their original green color as he loosened his posture. "I will take your words as truth though, you seem a woman that wouldn't lie and well you already helped address your intent earlier." He exhaled.

Tanya sighed in relief, "Good, thank you," she said careful not to mention Drake again, "so far I've managed to protect the Precious we've collected from any greedy hands, but sooner or later I'm gonna stuff it up, you have any suggestions on where I can hide really dangerous Precious?"

"Although I can't say your employer would approve, it is possible to house Precious within my body. You could think of me as a mobile high-security vault." He suggested, "Seeing as how taking them back to their original sanctuaries will only cause them to be sought after and taken again."

"True," Tanya said on the part of approval, "but in that case it is a good system, however I can only give you extremely dangerous Precious in my viewpoint, if I give you the Precious every time we steal one they're going to fire me or worse," she told the knight.

"I understand." He nodded, "This is perhaps for the best."

"It is, so how do I contact you in the event we do retrieve a powerful Precious?" Tanya asked.
