[ VOICE ]

[ Nozomi will assume that Rory and Crystal have been going through the usual channels on the warp band, and while she isn't the best at filtering things, she will certainly give it a try. That being said, it's likely easy to crack, but that doesn't mean she is going to be entirely clear about what her intentions are with this posting. ]

I hope our guests aren't bothering too many people around here. I didn't go to Caldera when we got the first distress signal, so I can assume things with this Rory guy went all right. I don't hear too many people grumbling, and no matter where they're from, they tried to smooth things over with Gigas and Caldera. We should treat them the way only Unionites can.

[ The tone of voice insinuating that people should interpret that however they want. Noncommittal responses are the best. ]

I wanna urge people to be careful out there, especially with all the reports from the rangers coming in. I've been given permission to sell some of the Tenma family's famous protective wards and charms just in case, and I'll be offering readings free of charge for anyone planning on heading out there. I can't guarantee 100 percent success, but my fortunes never lie. They might help.

[ PRIVATE TO REI ; TEXT ]

it's nt. are you busy? can we meet in person?

Not much. He was nice enough, but very calculated in his responses.

[ A pause, and a bit of an inward smile. ]

I offered to give him a reading.

Ho?

[She smiles back, eyes searching.]

And what did this reading say? Did he accept?

He accepted. He'll be coming to the shop in the next few days. I haven't done a reading of my own yet.

I was hoping I could purify myself and do some meditation here first, to be sure. That's why I came.

Well you're more than welcome to do so, any time.

[Rei seems slightly troubled by the notion though.]

What do you think of this man, though? With his guarded responses.

I don't know. He did a lot of good for Caldera, so I'm thankful for that.

[ She sounds hesitant. ]

But, where is he from and what does he want? That's my question. I admit I know nothing about Team Evolution beyond the name.

And you...don't sound terribly confident about him. That's enough to make me question them.

I don't know where he's from, and I don't know a lot about Team Evolution myself.

[ Nozomi frowns a bit. ]

I don't know. I can't really explain it. I don't think he's telling the whole story.

Of course he isn't.

[Rei folds her arms and shakes her head.]

He's a suspicious person. That's really all there is to say, isn't it.

I agree, which is why I'm hoping the cards will tell me something about him.

You'll let me know what you find out, right? This...could be important.

[ Nod. ]

I will.

I'm a little nervous, to be honest.

Why? Do you think he'll do something?

[Her fist clenches, a visible heat beginning to surround it.]

Do you want me nearby?

No, it's not that. I don't think he'd do that. But what if my fortune isn't correct, or I'm not able to get anything from him?

I wouldn't worry about that. You'll get something. You always do.

Eventually. I'm just hoping I get it in time. The cards can be a little difficult sometimes.

[ Like concerning μ's things. ]

As can the flames. Fortune teller problems, right?

[ A knowing smile and nod. ]

I don't know if we have time.

Things will be as they will be.

[Rei smiles faintly.]

Stay as long as you like. I'll make sure Grandpapa and the Pokemon leave you in peace.

Thank you.

Just for the record, I don't mind when your grandpa bothers me.

Well in that case, I'm sure he'll just be by to check on you then. I'll let him make sure you have tea, at least.

[He really is a surprisingly decent person.]

I really appreciate it. I'll make it up to you, I promise.

Ericchi and I have been experimenting with making ice cream, I could bring some over next time I stop by.

It's no trouble. And that sounds nice.

I'll be out in the courtyard practicing with my bow. If you need me, call.
