Foxside: The Temple of Inari 55 - So many ships, you'd think it was on the ocean

[Fenric]

[Krystal's Castle]

Drawing runes with a stylus that was created through the use of other runes, yes... Not really all that weird - you don't just go grab a Bic to craft a scroll.

Indeed it is not long (( at least... not in game time - sorry about the delay )) before Krystal returns, carrying a really quite beautiful crystalline rod.

All right, Cal: here they are. You gonna behave, or do we get rough?

There is a brief, surface-level washing of power over Atorre's assorted minions before he responds. The mental voice of the rod is smooth and refined, masculine and with a towering pride and confidence... and quite a bit of sullen resignation.

You wouldn't last a minute, daughter of the Shadows. They would be an interesting challenge, against which I might be tempted just for the entertainment... but your gamble that I will cooperate in order to avoid falling back into her hands was well considered.

What do you wish of me?

The Chandelure stops squirming and tentatively shows Genji the mental image of a Pokeball with a querying sensation: doe sGenji plan to try to catch
the poor thing?
