Ash seemed fairly content with the answer given too her. Of course, a small amount of s urprise was seen, though that was expected considering Lydia's hair color and how most people usually assumed things through what's most noticeable on them. It was a bit rude to assume, and you know what they say about assuming. The thought was soon pushed away to the side as a new sight overcame her. Lydia's attempt at 'waking up' this tired, sleeping girl absolutely startled the Iramasha. Hands gently reaching over to her shoulder to try and tug her away, not quite noticing the dulled points on the bone saw. "L-Lydia! C-Come on... T-There's no need to be going that far! Really!"

Worry was definitely seen upon the girl's face, waking someone up with a bone saw was never a good idea. This idea always was even -worse- when you don't know the person who's the receiver of it at all. For all Ash and Lydia knew, this girl could be a monster in disguise that could eat them alive. Or just a normal girl that they'll scare by doing this. Wether or not Ash opposed this idea, Lydia seemed fully intent on going through with it. One of the best ideas that popped up to her at this moment was moving away from both of them, scooting a bit to the side as Yuel was left on the ground to deal with this new 'threat'. Worst case scenario, if Lyida did start hitting flesh, Ash was certain she could heal the damage.

Luckily for her, it seems like that wasn't needed, spotting the sleeping beauty awaken rather aruptly. The look of worry soon turned into joy as Lydia didn't actually go through with the plan, but that look soon found itself turning into confusion. What did the girl just shout at them? It... Was rather weird, but she couldn't judge all too much since she was awoken in surprise. Yuel seemed to be a little bit odd at the very least though, eyes staring as the girl rolled away from them and seemingly blushed?

Ash tried to seem friendly, just like Lydia. Extending her hand outwards slowly and trying t put on as sweet as a smile as she could. "U-Uhm.. Hi there! I'm Ash, l-like Lydia said! I um... We're sorry if we scared you or something, we just wanted to wake you up since we need to get moving soon. T-This isn't the best place to well... Fall asleep." She did seem a little bit nervous considering the situation once again, but at least things seem peaceful for the most part without too much to worry about.

Lydia, after putting the entire kit away finally, noticed the girl's arm. It was made of metal. How... peculiar. Normally, when limbs were replaced in this day and age, they were done in a manner similar to Lydia's, using biosynthetic parts to maximize efficiency. Lydia's arm was of course hand crafted by herself with the help of Nix, to add his knowledge of Nanotechnology into the design. Her attire as well as her left arm were both made entirely of Biosynthetic material, paired with nanites that were in combination with her nervous system, allowing her items to move and change in a manner similar to if the limbs themselves were her own.

To see someone with such... primitive replacements almost came as a shock to Lydia. "Hey, those limbs of yours look kinda sketchy. I majored in biotechnology in college, so if you want I can upgrade them to self repair, as well as be useful in case of self-defense situations." She half offered, half boasted. Lydia was clearly no older than 17, so the act of having completed college by now was an impressive feat. In fact, her knowledge of the sciences as well as combat strategy gained her a spot as the Yayjuu GREMLIN squad's famed tactical Overwatch-- a position they created for her that meant she would oversee battlefields from her Command Vehicle, which was now submersed in smoldering embers alongside her massive collection of stamps.

Her accomplishments aside, even one look at her arm which had no less than 40 seconds ago been transformed into a dulled high-speed bone saw, granted insight to her talent with biotechnology. Her prototype arm, which she had severed her real arm off in order to attach, was only capable of making highly advanced movements given the era, and acting as a real arm would. This arm, however, was clearly more different than that.

"That aside, Ash is right!" She ironically repeated. "Let's hit the road, gals!" She would quite erratically begin to half walk half skip into the direction of downtown Karakura, not checking to see if the girls were following her. It wasn't that Lydia was genuinely aloof, however, it was simply that in the case of combat with either of them, she had already developed a stratagem. There was literally no need for her to worry.

And likewise, no time to worry! They needed to get back to civilization ASAP, and without the GHOST, they would most assuredly be walking. She had no form of teleportation, so likewise no method of transportation besides her own two legs. Although asking the others for help did not cross her mind even once. "Come on, gals! Chop chop!" She would say before beginning to speed walk.

Well... All of what had just transpired was fairly... Awkward, to say the least. Of course, learning of Lydia's ability to just offer repairs to an arm of that caliber surprised Ash, she didn't quite know that many people smart enough to just offer that to strangers. It was a kind gesture, and Ash actually wished she could offer something in return as well. All she was left with at the current moment was to wait and see if the offer would be accepted by the stranger... Or did they maybe accidentally frighten her with their joyful, happy moods at a rather serious situation of someone passing out due to a lack of food and energy.

Everything still seemed to be going well however, Ash remaining behind Lydia as she peeked over the girl's shoulder at Yuel. At least, it was Yuel. In a few moments, something odd began to happen, the girl who they had just helped was shaking rather violently. Ash was left worrying, taking a step to the side to try and reach outwards, eyes dilating for a split moment before returning to normal. Ash planned on... Just trying something to help, this wasn't a thing people normally did when shaking hands with someone they had just met. No, usually it was just more greetings and people standing up normally without... Phasing?

Ash only stared, too confused to act before someone completely new was before them, eyes focused upon them as the entire situation just seemed rather whimsical. First, a girl hops out of her falling helicopter before it explodes in the distance and greets Ash as if it's normal. Soon after introductions, a girl passes out and wakes up to start phasing in and out before being replaced with someone new. Someone Ash certainly didn't know as she was simply baffled at what had just happened. Was this a magic trick?

Before the girl could properly register what had just happened, she was left standing alone with Lydia. A tad bit confused, with more questions than she ever had before. Despite the thoughts swirling about in her head, she still had to actually walk back to Karakura as well, head shaking from side to side as she began to slowly step off towards their destination. "W-Well.. Uhm... A-All that asides, we should get moving. Right?"

Lydia stared forward in shock as the girl seemed to shake and convulse before her. The person that stood before her now certainly spoke like Yuel, as far as she knew.. but there was no evidence of her being a shifter... Whatever just happened, was out of this world.

As Yuel thanked her for something, then said that it was in some amount of weeks, it only gave rise to Lydia's suspicions. Was... Was Yuel a... Mrs. Shrai-- There was only one other thing that could come after that! Did... Did Nix plan to marry her?!

Lydia's face turned bright red. Mrs. Shraik... She fantasized for a split second, then caught herself. But that she said it didn't happen this time... was she by some strange chance predicting Lydia's future? Or was she really a time traveler?

Either way, the deep sadness in her eyes was alarming. Was something going to happen? Did she need to be careful? Would Nix be alright? Would she be alright? Lydia's heart quickly became overwhelmed by worry.

"Yeah, well we actually reached the outskirts... I've gotta go by the Yayjuu headquarters and pick up another new GHOST. Uhh, here's my address," She started, hastily scribbling it down onto the same sheet of paper. Then, tearing it in half, she handed the paper to Ash. "Come by tonight... We'll have a blast! See you!" She finished, walking quickly away from Ash.

There was no way of knowing something might happen to Nix, right? People can't tell the future... Lydia hoped. She hoped with everything she had. If she could only see him one more time..
