"It's completely up to Lunet." Ty said.

"Lunet, do you have a preference?" he asked her.

"You can probably find a place here to do it, but odds are if you go back with her, she has a more proper salon set-up." he reasoned.

"But if you're not comfortable going, then you can stay here and find somewhere like a washroom." he went on.

"Or we can go together if you want me there with you."

Leo just sighed heavily, and Ty pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Well, do what you can for her." he told Rowena.

"And then tell us afterwards how to care for it and such." he said further.

"I mean, Leo's made it clear that you're the expert, and it seems you know a LOT more than Lunet and I." he reasoned.

He was then silent for a moment, before pausing.

"And you picked up on she's blind, eh?" he asked.

"Money is meaningless to me." Ty responded.

"For now, you can start by helping out Lunet." he then told her.

"It appears that I have butchered her hair." he commented, shifting his gaze to Leo.

"You HAVE!" Leo insisted.

"It's a minor miracle that her keeping her hair up hides it and makes it look presentable!" he declared.

Leo's eyes widened when he heard all that.

"You... that... I mean..." he stammered, causing Ty to just... laugh. He laughed at all that.

"Well, I got news for you." he said to her. "I'm off the stuff completely now." he revealed. "...er... well, I mean, I have the occasional beer when I eat Chinese food or something, but that's beside the point." he said.

"I am OFF hard liquor. For GOOD." he stated.

"And I can tell you've changed." he said to her. "Your actions... or lack thereof in this case... also prove it." he went on, before pausing. "Well... the fact that Leo called you here to help Lunet in the first place is proof enough, I suppose, but you get my meaning." he then said further.

"Regardless, yes, seems an interesting side-effect to becoming a regenerator is my SOUL is hardcoded to my body." he told Leo.

"...still hurt like a bastard when attempts are made to forcefully remove it, though." he then added.

"...hello." Ty responded.

Leo was confused for a moment, looking between then.

"You two... know each other?" he asked.

"...that's ONE way to look at it." Ty told him, narrowing his eyes a little. He looked Rowena up and down, before she saw him relax just that little bit.

"You certainly have a softer look in your eyes since the last time we crossed paths." he commented to her.

Leo looked over towards Rowena and smiled.

"Hello, hello." he greeted her.

Ty took one look upon her, and immediately tensed up. His hands squeezed into knuckles as he was filled with anger and fear, but he didn't say anything. Not right now, at the very least.

"This is Tyson King." Leo introduced Ty.

"And this is Lunet." he added.

Leo paused for a moment.

"Uh.... hm." he mumbled.

"Don't bring up her past." he said. "Don't ask anything about it. Try not to allude to it." he told her. "I know it's vague, but... trust me, she's trying to bury her past, and forget about it." he went on.

"If you feel a bit of an oppressive mana presence when she shows up, try not to call attention to it, either." he continued.

"I think that's it..." he then said further.

"Fire." Leo responded.

Ty paused when he heard that.

'Fire...? Rowena...?' he wondered.

'WHY does that sound familiar...?' he asked himself.

"She runs her own fireworks company, too." Leo then said.

"You'll love her, I'm sure." he chuckled.

"She's a lovely woman with a lot of love to give." Leo responded.

"Do you have ANY idea how many red flags you just raised with that statement." Ty commented bluntly. Leo just sighed in response.

"Look, she's a mage and she's been around for a while. She had it hard early in life and went through a dark period for a while. However, she's since turned her life around, but still has the scars from her past." he told them.

"She's a little on the paranoid side, but she's really a nice person." he assured them.

"And she loves children, too." he added.

Leo paused and looked towards Ty.

"Where should she appear?" he asked him.

"The kitchen is empty." Ty responded.

"The kitchen." Leo relayed, giving her the coordinates for the place.

"And 10 minutes? Cool." he then said.

"See you when you get here."

"Not Egypt." Leo replied.

"San Diego." he told her, before looking to Ty.

"It's all right if I give Rowena Fyrane this address, right?" he asked him.

"Sure." Ty responded.

Leo nodded and then gave her the address.

"It's a friend of mine named Lunet." he said further.

"I've been cutting it as best I can!" Ty insisted.

"I mean, I'm not a hair dresser or anything, but I've stopped it from being unruly." he told her.

While they were talking, Leo was phoning someone. Someone he was sure was awake right now.

"Hello, Rowena?" he said when she answered.

"There is a hair DISASTER that you need to work on. Please?" he asked of her.

"You need to work your magic for this."

"I am not insulting you." Leo said. "I am jabbing at Ty's... abilities..." he muttered.

"But your hair is uneven as all hell, and I can still see remnants of it being singed!" he declared.

"...now, granted, I didn't see anything until you let that hair down, so... to your credit, if you've been wearing your hair up all this time, nobody would really see a difference." he then assured her.

"But no. No, no, no." he continued.

"I am calling a professional in." he told her further.

"Lighten a little of that load."

Leo almost fell out of his seat.

"AH!" he exclaimed.

"Ty, what the HELL!?" he asked Ty.

"WHO cuts her hair!?" he asked him further.

"I do." Ty responded. "I try to keep it trimmed and stuff." he told him.

"...explains a lot." Leo muttered.

"Lunet, I am calling someone to FIX that. You need a PROPER stylist to take a look at your hair."
