Nue nods and begins making her way back down the mountain. She'll make a stop in Goldenrod to heal up and then start her new Sneasel's introductory training back at the Ranch. Between the climb up and the climb back down as well as the travel time back to the Ranch, that'll probably be her whole day.

As Nue heads back inside the mountain, she spies this person leaning against the wall. As Nue sees her, she looks over. "You have 'some' nerve, ignoring me for so long."

Nue's hand is immediately on her sword's hilt, the blade partially drawn in the time it takes for this person to finish what they're saying. She (Nue) isn't going to attack right away, but she is ready for anything.
Intuition, does this person appear hostile? Does Nue recognize this person? KG9rwMZ92d6 (Unfortunately not a skill Nue has had time to put effort into yet.)2d6

Nue can't get quite a read on this person. It could be that this woman is only interested in talking, or she could be some gilted friend or lover, or that she's at ease but ready to strike at any moment. Nue just doesn't have that kind of read on emotions to tell.
One thing is that Nue doesn't exactly get 'snuck up' on. Nue naturally is hard to trace, even if she isn't fully trying. So this person has to have some skill to have found her.
"Wow really? THAT's the welcome I get from you after all this time?"

"You speak as if you know me, but I do not recognize you. I find I very rarely forget faces that are 'important', or that I interact with frequently. You are neither." Nue responds flatly.

She steps forward and seems a bit shocked.
"Ok, I know you like your jokes, but that hurts to say that I'm not important enough to remember."
She gives a 'slighly' faux pout.
"Alright quit messing with me Ravenbrant. It's me, Jean. You gonna explain why you are here too and have been ignoring me for weeks?"

Nue takes a step backwards, maintaining the distance. "I shall say it again. I do not know you. We have not met. This is the first and only time I will ask you politely to explain yourself."

Jean sighs.
"Ok look. If you don't want to level with me and just screw with me, that's fine. I understand where you and I stand, so I'll just find you when you've cooled off. I'm going to Cela- Nevermind."
And a bit under her breath, but still hearable by Nue:
"Right after I find where that stupid thing went..."
She then walks off into the darkness.

Nue is still very confused. She was 'leveling' with this strange woman. Really, the ninja thought she was being very polite to someone she did not recognize that claimed to know and/or be "close" to her. Nue memorizes her face and other physical characteristics that are difficult to fake, like how she walks, and then resumes her trip back to the Ranch.

While the others are away in Fuschia checking on Noire's mother, Nue is expanding the variety (and lethality) of traps in and around the "Ranch". She will either obtain many Voltorb/Electrode/other commonly explosive mons specifically for use as landmines, or she'll create actual landmines/IEDs to bury in the ground around the area. On all sides. With the explosives only armed when necessary, of course.
The others won't even need to know~...
