Insight: (4)(1) - success
Absol glares at Kirlia, who dances forward with a Draining Kiss at the ready. Absol paws at him, lazily. Then growls at Nathan, and leaps atop the barrier. From there, he gazes out toward Vapor Falls and the Daycare, amber eye blazing. Absol shakes his head; the situation is complicated. Nathan thinks there must be a lot of things the Absol wants to tell him. Absol resumes his eastward gaze.

Insight: (4)(5) Kirlia detects the joy of finally completing a mission, fear of disaster, much doubt, strong restlessness, and a strong will to fight.

Kory and his Pokemon are ready to move if the situation turns ugly. There is tension in the air. In the wide eye of Absol, Nathan can see the same craziness that afflicts the crowd of humans.

Nathan's still rather wary, but getting a slightly better read on the situation has helped him focus a little more.  Kirlia backs off as well, not seeing any need to be ready to fight Absol at a moment's notice now.  

"Something's coming, isn't it?  What is it?  Almanac? The Scimitars?  A 'king?'  And what does it have to do with me and Kirlia?  If you want our help, you need to show us what you want us to do and why we have to do it."

Nathan's got an Ultra Ball in his hand now, but he's making no moves to use it yet.  What he means should be clear enough, though.
