Ethan thought of Old Ba.
In fact, when it came to Mary, he felt a sense of guilt towards his old friend, after all, in one way or another, he had taken the chosen one favored by Old Ba, which had weighed on him from the Third Era all the way to today.
Ethan felt he ought to do something for Old Ba, and now a rare opportunity presented itself before him.
He could mend Old Ba's relationship with his friends, Ethan believed this would provide some solace to the lonely old artist who was somewhere, unknown.
"...Bazatous sent you here?"
The doubt in the voice had lessened significantly, and it seemed to carry a hint of joy.
When He once again carefully observed Ethan, He indeed sensed a trace of familiar energy from him. Yet, He had stayed in this place for an unknown length of time, long forgotten many things, and almost never actively recalled His former friends.
He vaguely remembered, during their last meetings, their relationship had become very tenuous.
