"Hmm....now why should I do most of the talking? A informative conversation cannot be held if only if only one individual is carrying it for the most part, and I feel that your silence does a disservice to be myself and to the wealth of Knowledge you have. So please, speak more freely, Nathan...."

Ventus is calm, cool, composed, and still smiling despite the ever rising tension in the room, as he waits for their next rebuttal. He knows what the boy is trying to take control of the conversation, get him nattering and cause them to reveal all their cards so that he knows which ones he can safely hide away.

'I will not be played for a fool, or taken for granted like so. Nathan will divulge what they know of both Cipher and Shadow Pokémon if they what to mine own Insight on them, or........'

"Learning is a two way street, no?  And I've already divulged plenty of information for no charge, done most of the talking already on this subject, so I feel it's your turn to speak before I continue.  I'm afraid this one's not going to be free.  It very much has a price, and I need to know that you aren't just blowing a load of hot air.  Connect the dots I've given you already, then we'll talk."

It's a very flat, toneless response.  All the while, Nathan's not loosened his grip on his journal.
