"I knew you were here," Rean cut to the main topic. "That's why I'm here. But why didn't you show up until now? I didn't change my name for a reason, you know?"

With this, Rean knew he was laying it plain for Crow. Not that Crow wouldn't be able to figure out the particular reason Rean was here at Thors. But, as Crow once told him, letting your opponent know exactly what your intentions were didn't mean you were accepting defeat. Accepting the inevitable was also a way of gaining the upper hand, at least, in the sense that you were confident about it. On the defensive, grasping what little secrets he had, all the while knowing Crow would pick him apart easily, was not a state Rean wanted to be in.
