static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg She could hardly hear her surroundings, the dampening pulse of the beast having deafened her ears for the moment. Her eyes, however, note of the beast leave with her gaze turning questioningly as she tilts her head. Her left hand, still deep inside her bag, stills in its search. "It just left...?" Her question hovers quietly in the air, partially ignoring Mikel's questions towards her. She could barely hear him anyways. Shaking herself from her momentary confusion, she looks onwards towards the rest and shoutingly asks, "Is everyone alright?!"

Caervin frowned at his cuts, knowing there'd be bruises in some places. He turned to face Mikel a bit sheepishly. "I should've dodged. Panicked, I guess. I don't do too well around water, and adding a big ol' pokemon like that into the mix sure didn't help the nerves."He goes to retrieve his missed pokeball from the sand, brushing it off and re-attaching it to his belt. Then he takes a look at the toxic spikes the beast threw down. His trusty shoes let him move across them with not a worry in the world, thank the gods. Do you want me to roll to try to gather some of the toxic spikes (to use as toxic caltrops) as we talked about before? I know it would only be one instance of them, just wondering if there's a roll I should make... like picking them up carefully to avoid poison etc. "I'm fine," he answers Elizabeth as equally as loud as she called to them, biting back a cheeky grin. "Just wish I'd done more. You both were ace on the field... I'm not much one for fighting straight out, unfortunately! Glad we got a lady on the team that knows her stuff!" He winks at her before turning away to make sure Rune hadn't been too badly hurt. The keyring jingles her discontentment--probably upset over the uselessness of her spikes--but calms under Caervin's reassuring touch and careful application of healing sprays.

Mikel retrieves his pokeball and looks back over at Elizabeth, "I'm fine. How are you?" He asks.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg "What?!" She shouts again a few decibels louder than before, wringing her hair of its wetness as she yelled so. "What did you say!?"

Mikel sighs, unsure how to convey the message. It seems the attack must have hurt her hearing. He tried to think of the best way to convey concern. Making eye contact he tried to mouth. "Are. You. Ok?"

Caervin rolled his eyes and stepped in front of Mikel, pulling out one of his spare healing sprays. He caught Elizabeth's attention and pointed at the bottle, then at her, back at the bottle, then held out a hand to give it to her if needed.
After doing so, he beckons back up the hill towards the old man's house and motions for all of them to head in that direction. For added effect, he folds his thumb to his fingers a number of times to indicate 'taling'-- they should tell Matthaeus what had happened.

The trudge back to Matthaeus' place seems a lot longer than heading to the beach. Maybe because it's mostly uphill. Or maybe because you're coming down off adrenaline or whatever from the sudden fight. Regardless, you all make it back safe and sound. No surprises. Well, not for you.
"Well, you're back early!" Matthaeus says, when you arrive back at his place. "Was the beach not to your liking?"

"Never was to begin with," Caervin muttered, "...and a giant mind-controlled Tentacruel didn't help much, either. There were a few more of those living glyphs down there that wanted to rearrange our faces a bit."
He explained the sequence of events, casting sideways glances at Mikel as he skipped over the boy's psychotic tendencies. That was something to bother the police with, not an old man offering them shelter. "Anything more you can tell us about those... things?"

Mikel nodded at Caervin's remarks. "Fairly rough fight too. Miss Elizabeth seems to have been injured and having a hard time healing if there is anything you can do about that." He says as he takes a seat ignoring his own injuries.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg "There is nothing wrong with my breathing," Elizabeth offhandedly remarks, taking a seat with a towel wrapped around herself and a slight pout to her mentioned injuries. "It's just my hearing that's off. If it hadn't been for that tentacled beast, I would've been fine."

"What?!" Matthaeus seems startled. "That's...troubling. Giant Tentacruel... that could only describe our Tentapogo. Well, that's what we call him. But... he's a gentle giant. Wouldn't hurt a yanma. Heck, sometimes families take boats out if he surfaces, and toss food to him. This...controlling. It's worrying. I've not heard of this happening before..." He thinks for a minute. "If those glyphs are behind it, you probably want to get out of here as soon as possible. I've been seeing a few more go by the windows in the past hour. More than I usually see in a day. As much as I hate to say it... I don't know if you're safe around here."
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to help with heali... actually, hold on. They might be just ready enough." He quickly goes outside, then comes back with a small fistful of herbs. "These energy roots aren't quite potent enough to be useful for most things...but they should be enough to get the job done." He holds out the herbs to Elizabeth.

static.zerochan.net/Esmeralda.(Notre.Dame).full.973982.jpg Only about half the words could she discern from his speaking lips but she smiled nevertheless at his proffered herbs. They were dry and smelled somewhat like the manure she used to shovel. Taking it into her hands, she nodded, "Thank you, Matthaeus. I'm sorry for making you worry so much and troubling you with these problems when you've been nothing but kind and helpful to us for our questions and 'current' dilemmas."Elizabeth sighed to herself as she huddled further in her towel, clutching tighter on its ends. Turning her sight to her two companions, she asked "So... where should we go? If it truly is as dangerous here as he says, I would rather not stay here for another moment with those glyphs running around. They've already managed to douse my connection to my flames once already and I would rather not have a repeat experience." She shivered as she stated so at the memory of the loss. It was only for a brief moment but the coolness of the void where the fire she felt had always been wracked her, reminding her of the dream she had that brought her to this mountain.

Caervin sighed. He'd been looking forward to the festivities tomorrow, but if the old man really thought they should leave...
"I'm not one for planning my destination," he admitted with a tinge of annoyance. "I go where the whispers of valuable artifacts and pokemon take me. And then I take them, in a manner of speaking. This dream nonsense is a step out of line with what I'm familiar with. If any of you lot have a better idea where we should go, speak up. My only hope is that we stay far, far away from water for the time being." He did his best to hide a shudder.

"Might as well continue on with the original plan then and go to Godspring. These things supposedly appeared when the gods vanished so it's safe to say they are connected and probably out to stop us from doing what these dreams and prophecies want us to do. So despite my dislike for fate and prophecies I doubt they will leave us alone regardless of what we do. Meaning the sooner we deal with it, the sooner those things will probably be dealt with." Mikel noted. He didn't feel the need to comment on the fact one of his traveling companions was an artifact thief. He wasn't an officer of the law and they were teammates for now so he would have to ignore it rather than cause trouble. "We originally were only staying for the festival but if it isn't going to be safe it would be best to continue."

"Eh? Douse your connection? That... can't be good." Matthaeus looks a bit troubled, but then shakes it off. "No, no, lass, it's all good. It's always better to share your burdens with others."
"Well, lad," he says wryly, "You'll have no problem staying away from water. From what I hear... the spring for which the town is named is drying up. Looks like everyone else's misfortune is good for someone, at least."
"You all should remember, that the future is what you make of it. What you do is as it always was meant to be. Some ways are just easier than others. Now," he seems to abruptly realize something, "I've got to finish dinner. I presume you'll still be staying the night, though, so you have most of the day to travel by?"

"Please." He wasn't eager to be out there during the night with those creepy black words and their unusual eyes staring at him. The thought gave him shivers. "Can't wait to call it a night."

"It won't be a problem for you if we do?" Mikel asked. The man had seemed worried and he didn't want to put the man in danger if the things attacked at night. Despite his dislike for dark magic he couldn't help but wish that he had practiced the darkvision technique to see at night.

"No, no, having visitors is never a problem." he says, "Besides, I don't think the protective wards on here have faded that much. You should be safe while you're here." There does almost seem to be an unspoken 'I hope' hanging in the air, though.
