Sleet snickered gleefully at Wes' nonplussed reaction. People were usually weirded out by her talking, but these other-dimensional humans were especially weirded out. Mostly. It was fun. And this boy was awkward. Sleet liked awkward. "Wessz, rrright?" she rasped, sidling up to him. "Let'ssz...

Laura pulled a face, tilting her head to look at the marking from different angles. "I guess? A circle doesn't have to be an initial 'O', but it could be... It looked like Sigmin and Nox each headed a different way. Maybe Nox's tracks can tell us something else...?" Sleet signed fluidly and...

"Malachai's a noivern," Laura answered, practically reeling off the information on automatic by now, "but he's an Atlantic bluewing, so he's a lot bigger than the more common inland noivern. You don't need to worry about him, you know; he's fully sapient, and smarter than most humans. I, uh, saw...

"Pleasure to meet you, Neo, Novo and Wes," said Laura, smiling. She chuckled at Neo's high energy and adorable demeanour. "Sushi's pretty good," she added, as an aside to the espeon. "I hope we get your friend safe so that you can share some with them." Malachai rumbled pleasantly at Novo. What...

"Aha, looks like." Laura waved and smiled at Jade, powering through her own awkwardness at Malachai's private telepathic prompting. <Come, girl. She's more anxious than you are. Do her the service of keeping up your chin.> Then there was the bloke with the 'vees. The wary umbreon, the friendly...

"Again?" <It's not so surprising. For each location living things are drawn to, their being drawn to it draws others. We are attentive to attention.> "Okay, sure, it's just strange to be making the same descent in the same spot with another stranger snooping about below us, even though this...

Laura gladly took Lourine's hand and did her best to maintain eye contact and shake a normal amount, like a regular person. <Your number,> prompted Malachai. "Oh, right." Laura handed the other girl a strip of notepad paper with her own number on it, "In case we find out anything more." She...

Sleet chuckled in her guttural, cackling way, glad at least that this human wanted to know what she'd discovered, even if she hadn't gotten a rise out of her. She signed deftly to Laura to explain her findings, impatient to communicate swiftly. Laura nodded, and bit her lip, then conveyed it...

Malachai seemed satisfied with the answer. He snorted lightly, and turned his attention back to the exchange of ideas. Laura nodded at Lourine's latest point. "I've been thinking it was a pokémon both powerful and stealthy, or perhaps very fast, to get the jump on people. But if the element of...

Laura nodded, taking in everything Lourine said. "I wrote off competition already, pretty much. We're all from different worlds and as far as I know we're not competing for any prize, so what would be the point? Unless I'm wrong about that, I guess." She shook her head. "Plus, this person has...

Laura nodded, and put a knuckle to her teeth for a moment. "You might be onto something, there. I heard some folks from the Trousselin quizzed some trainers, but only the pokémon are essential to any abductions. And I've noticed that pokémon in some worlds can be much more cognitively...

<I am called Malachai,> sent the noivern, hissing gutturally. "Nice to meet you," replied Laura, bowing lightly to Azar with the quick sign for [hello, you look strong] that combat 'mon generally appreciated. "Don't mind Mal, he's just full of himself." <More to the point,> interrupted...

Airborne circuits of the built-up part of the island were an excellent way to spot humans and pokémon alike, regardless of how they lurked in unseen places. So far, Malachai had pressured Laura to stay out of the strange happenings on Kunolo Island as much as possible, save for passing...
