She just gazed down at the odious little ball and narrowed her eyes. If she actually had her pipe with her, it was likely that Yotsuyu would have exhaled a cloud of smoke into his face, just to shut him up.

"I am here because I want to help you. Do not snap at me." Want might be a strong word, but he had called and she had answered--Yotsuyu was not at his beck and call, much as he might like her to be! Nor did she really care a whit about how much his treasures were worth. She might have an interest in getting them back to further Aether's popularity, however.

"Meanwhile, you underestimate these Pokemon, for one who has lived with them far longer than I." She glanced over at Wicke, arching an ebon brow. "Had we beacons, tell me, am I wrong in saying that Gosetsu could probably find these valuable items, for recovery by either stronger Pokemon, or humans, as he desires?" While Yotsuyu is grateful for Wicke's presence, she doesn't precisely need the woman's help to handle Viren--however, if she can answer Yotsuyu's question, that would be all to the good.
