[The reply comes while she's sitting on a rock nearby, still filming Urianger, who's back is to the camera at the moment so it probably looks and sounds rather odd, the obvious disconnect between her voice and what SHOULD be his.]

I don't know what you mean.

[She is being a playful little shit. She knows exactly what you mean.]

[stardiving]

[Please never do this to him.]

I'm certain.

[purrrrfection]

[She will make no such damn promise.]

I'm bored. There aren't that many wild pokemon hanging about today and believe it or not, I'm trying not to disrupt his research. He's pretty focused.

[Not that she could, she thinks. He's pretty intensely into his recent findings right now, in her opinion. Shut up she's not smiling YOU'RE smiling.]

So what about you? What are you up to then?

[stardiving]

You ought be grateful, there are ghosts about there.

[Ask him how he knows. Just ask. The answer is the same as why he Elusive Jumped out of you asking him if he wanted to come with you and Urianger.]

I am on my way back to Goldenrod, I am in need of supplies that I can only find there.

[Much to his annoyance. Why does he have to keep going back to the cityyyy.]

[purrrrfection]

[U said wot, mate?]

... There are what, now?

[Forget the rest. Answer the question, Estinien. She needs to know.]

[stardiving]

[YOU HEARD HIM.]

Ghosts, I know not how many different types, but the Ruins are home to ghost Pokemon.

[This is why he said he wouldn't come with you were you not listening??]

They are capable of possessing people. Did so to me, not long after I arrived.

[And you know his history with that sort of thing. At least he didn't turn into a massive, furious dragon this time.]

They are not the only Pokemon that make their homes there--tis where I first caught Cathedral and Ratatoskr--but I shall not go back there.

[purrrrfection]

[SHE ASSUMED YOU WERE JUST BEING, YOU KNOW, ESTINIEN. It helps if you give your reasons BEFORE you Elusive Jump/Dragoon!Nope out of a conversation! 

She's turned the camera around by now so he'll be able to see that that comment earns a grimace of distaste. She understands his refusal and his unwillingness to speak on it, now and she's damn glad she didn't press. She'd just assumed something embarrassing or upsetting happened, but hadn't thought it to be quite that bad. The man's already been through it once, she can really only scarcely imagine how upsetting it would have been to deal with it yet again. 

She's been leery of running into them since realizing that she PROBABLY didn't have access to the Blessing of Light, here. If there was just one thing she relied upon Her blessing for it was protection against the Ascians ability to take over a person's body. She's had to assume that she didn't have such luxury here, which, alright, so long as the powers were turned off, fine.

But now she's got actual confirmation that ghost pokemon can possess people?

... Well, honestly, she probably still would've done it because Urianger wanted to come, but she would have at least warned him of the dangers, maybe not made their camp RIGHT ON THE BLOODY DOORSTEP (not quite literally). Moving camp is easy enough, at least.

Bottom line: ]

Damn. Well, I can't say I blame you there. One of these days I'll learn to do my homework before I go charging off. Glad to see you made it out alright, at least?

[There's a glance there. A silent: "You alright?", giving him an out in case he doesn't want to linger on the topic.]

[stardiving]

[Well, that too...but in this case he genuinely did not wish to speak of it. And yes, it had been very upsetting, he will not go within 10 malms of that place if he can help it.

Though it's been enough time now that he can at least roll his eyes and shake his head.]

Aye, though Solus sees fit to remind me of his rendered assistance whenever he pleases.

[Still not gonna talk about it entirely, but yes: he's fine. Just fine.]

The ghost types are generally weak to themselves, and to Dark.

[Honestly, his team is strong enough now that he could...probably deal with just about anything in there, but the Yamask had caught him sleeping, so.]

1/2

[purrrrfection]

I could kick his ass for you, the next time I see him. Leave him hanging from a flag pole by his knickers somewhere? Really, it'd be no trouble.

[Ziva stop. Don't make a bigger enemy out of the man who can turn into a giant fucking super powered magus, PLEASE I am begging you.]

[purrrrfection]

[Her look turns to pleasant surprise after. Weak against themselves, are they?b>]

Really now...? That's quite interesting. Mayhap I'll have to see if I can't track one down, then. It'd be good to have the means to fight fire with fire, if the need arose, and I imagine that it will if we're to be hanging around ruins like this on a regular basis.

[She shakes her head, eyes closing with amusement, and then she's solidified her resolve.]

If Alphinaud were here he'd probably put on a brave face... If he can do it, surely I can manage.

[stardiving]

[Shockingly, Estinien actually...laughs. It's not loud or long, just a short, soft chuckle, but.

He's had time to unwind a bit. And it's not like she's never heard him do it before.]

That shall not be necessary, though the sentiment is appreciated.

Be cautious, and you shall be fine.
