"I can tell, from the slight quiver in your voice? Did I accidentally startle you awake, or did interrupt you in the middle of something? Regardless, it wonderful to know that everyone escaped that wretched dreamscape, as hard as it is to believe such a place exists in the first place!" Ventus responded, his voice filled with cheerful concern for his friends wellbeing. He sounded alright, but the empath stilll wants to check up with them in person. Just to be safe.

 "Hmm, where was I tonight...? Oh! As you may have noticed, I have recently evolved my loevely Raphael into its final form! Once that occurred, it literally steeped me up and carried me out of town, before letting go and forcing me to chase after them. They lead me to a strange yet beautiful pink sanded beach, and told me that it picked up what was causing Corsage's night terrors! I decided to stake out the location for the night, but that proved futile, so I ended up setting up camp for the night. One thing lead to another...well, you don't need me rehashing those events, now do we? I'm returning to the port town now, so I should meet up with you in a couple of hours!"

"Something like that...huh, so you were lead to what Raphael thought was the source of the problem...hmmm...I wonder if that was the trigger for that nightmare...well, not much point in speculating about it, I guess.  Nobody would believe us without proof of its existence or the whole town saying they experienced the same thing, right?  Hahaha (he's not currently in good enough shape mentally to hide the nervous laughter, but at least Ventus can't sense his emotions over the phone!)...Shiva's still asleep, by the way.  Told ya we weren't going to be able to wake her until she's recovered on her own.  Anyways, I need to check on something, and then I need to do some info gathering on the Gym Leader.  Someone in town should know something about him, after all...if you don't see me at the Center, I'll be somewhere in town, doing some prep work for the Gym Battle."
