Ventus shrugged at their opinion, not finding it offensive or particularly inflammatory. "If that you main problem with the beverage, I do know how to concoct several milder brews that stimulate the sense without overwhelming them. That is, if you would like to try them some time."

Then, Nathan finally asks the just the question he was looking for. 'Not a direct statement he knows about them, but its damning all the same.'

His smile seemed to grow ever so slightly wider as he carefully choose his own words.

"Many things, Nathan. I'm not an historian, but I do know how to pull scatter pieces of information together, read between the lines and infer meaning not found to cursory glance....."

The empath then tilted his head, and gazed deeply in their eyes, his own kindly and sharp, like a knife hidden in velvet.

".....and it hasn't escaped my notice you've been rather evasive about a certain set of topics."

"Celebi. The Relic Stone. Orre."

Ven listen them out idly, three fingers raised for each.

"You possess a comprehensive wealth of knowledge about them all, among other things. You answer all question pertaining them to a sastifactory degree.....but you seem rather......selective of what information you give.

"You closely guard your words, subtely divert away interest into deeper probing of these topics, reinterating the same data in new ways to avoid having to say or reveal too much.....all ways to avoid elaborating on a subject, or showing only a narrow slice of it. All indicative that you know something else connected to all of them, but don't wish to spoil the surprise, so to speak."

He then steeples his fingers together, and calmly, peacefully rests his head on them.

"Care to enlightment about these details you've been obscuring, Nathan? Or I could take a wild guess, if you are uninclined to say anything right now."

Silence.

Silence broken by only a few words.

"Go ahead.  Guess."

Kirlia can practically feel the tension physically...
