Ventus noticed the spat that Nathan and Kirlia, both from the emotions that were playing out between them and because he saw it out of the corner of their eye, but decided to tactfully not comment on it. Besides a bit more good humor in his smile, the researcher's expression was perfectly welcoming as he motioned for him to sit down beside them. "Glad to have your company yet again, my friend! Now that we all have wrapped up informing Dr. Mallorn on the recent state of our affairs and updated him on our mutual enemies, how about you share the information you gathered from those binders yourself? I only was able to glance through them before my attention was drawn to the safe, but what little I saw was quite interesting. Also, me, Shiva, and perhaps Valder are planning to go the pond by the Medicine Man's house and take care of that other entrance to the Scimitar base, and do some exploring/hunting as well. You are welcome to join us, but if you have other tasks that need be completed, then I won't mind if you decline my offer."

At hearing THAT, Nathan is startled.  Headache or no, that was one of the last things he wanted to hear right now.

"No.  Absolutely not.  That's a terrible idea.  Do you WANT them to think someone's deliberately messing with them?  I'd rather we just get out of here and far away from that statue ASAP before they potentially link the missing Castaclay to us.  We're not here to fight them, remember?  And besides, they're likely to both have other ways in and ways to repair the damage, so I doubt that would do much of anything except tip them off."

Oh my...that was quite a strong reaction...
