Ah...... Shiva would have not expected that there's so much behind these small pink petals she plucked from these Nuzleaf, but now she felt even more grateful that Furret led her to them and their Dragon-Leader, at the same time she couldn't help being visibly stunned by the opening from the Herbologist that these are...Gracidea Petals. Real Gracidea Petals, belonging to the flower blooming on a sweet and mythic Shaymin ! Shiva's mind had to progress this for a few moments before she actually replied to that Herbologist, not only because she highly wondered HOW these Nuzleaf got these petals.

"I....know about Gracideas... But I would have never thought to stumble over petals of it. Not growing on a Nuzleaf, that....is.... Hehe. Ehm....I do love their scent as well. Give it to me, I want to try again...." Now, smelling on these petals with the knowledge that these are Gracideas, Shiva was able to pick up the very faint hint to the sweet scent they typically had, it smelled different from what she knew about the scent from books. This was the real thing.

Looking at the two petals, she eventually and very carefully packed them away, and gave a faint nod of appreciation and understanding to that Herbologist once he told her more about where she could possibly find more petals. Felt like a Side Quest she'd do, one more reason to visit Earthstar Forest - so much has Shiva heard about that particular forest so far, more and more she anticipitated actually VISITING it by herself. "You have my greatest thanks, fellow interested party in herbology. I'll take good care of these petals, keep them safe and well and will search for more as my travels continue. Do you... I mean, are you fine with exchanging numbers to stay in contact concerning this? So far, I desire for a full flower in the first place, what to do with it is yet written high in the stars." Maybe Lilith already knows.

That book was suprisingly cheep, which kinda delighted Shiva as she pages through it (if it's not welded, that is) in coy eagerness. Huh... But the more she did so, the more she realized that it didn't really explain what she wanted to do, which was enhancing the scent her small Spritzee was already emitting right after she has hatched. That sweet one, smelling like lilacs and freshly cut grass! If the book does explain how that is done as well, she'll probably buy it, otherwise she might rather not and enhance the scent of her Fairy without instructions of a book and only with the own ideas she had concerning that. Mostly providing a proper diet and helpful environment.

Faint embarrassment awoke in Shiva over the sensation that Mr. Finder has already...known that she'll come back. Though this time she's not alone, invisibly under the table they all took a seat at she nudges Nathan as a sign that he can introduce himself if he wants, while she carefully coughed behind teh pages before opening up with the sentiment of WHY she has returned. "Uhm, yes, eventually I came back.... I've spoken with the others of the traveling group I'm member of about whether or not hire you to find us a path through Mount Sentry to find the Secret Library. One was clearly willing to hire you, one other  asked to see and hear you himself. So, here we are... Thing is, the more I think about it, the more you seem like our so far only reliable chance to find that place. We're going into detail before actually making a deal, so I wanted to ask you some things in the name of the whole group:"

- "How 'sure' are you that you can find the Secret Library for us? We lack anything with it's scent, only have assumptions and theoretical thoughts about it. What if you can't find it against all odds?"

- "Payment. 5000$ you said, correct? Plus expenses. How high are these expenses in this particular case? This might determine whether we all have to gather some more cash first to actually pay you. When will payment be done, after or before you sniffed a way for us?"

- "You'll be traveling with us into Mount Sentry then shall we decide to hire you. It's safe to say that we have an interest to keep you all safe,so I'd like to ask you to stick close to us down there. No solo-runs, every alienating from us shall be explained to and agreed by us or one of us. We'll take good care of you, but how can we be sure that you wouldn't try to rebel against us? It's be 1 vs. 5, not the smartest call. May I, well, carefully ask whether you have Pokemon on your own, Mr. Finder?"


The whole time while she spoke, Shiva had an uncommon serious tone in her voice, it's audible that she wants to be sure about this before signing or agreeing on anything. On the outside however, she looked rather calm, not concerned, worried or anything.
