Startled, Rachel went silent for a moment. She hadn't actually expected the man to know who she was referring to and it threw her off a little. After a second though she grinned widely. "Oh wow I can't believe you know him. I mean...what are the odds, right?" She said with a short laugh. "But yeah, he's alive and well...well last time I saw him anyway. We got separated during the Malboro chaos but I'm pretty sure he can handle something like a bunch of plants on a rampage."

"So what's your name? How do you know him? I'm Rachel. I kind of well...I found him in a big block of crystal or something while I was on a treasure hunt. Not really what I'd expected to find But I guess it worked out pretty well all things considered." She politely left out the fact that he hadn't been wearing a thing when she'd found him. He didn't need to know those kinds of details unless and until Zack himself decided to tell him.
