Nathan sets the photo down on the table, face up.  The blue tint of the Rapidash behind Marta and the piercing gaze of the Luxray behind Marco are as prominent as ever.

"...I'm sorry...I'm getting off track here...I just...wasn't expecting to see something my dad wrote here...no, I don't think we should go after the fossil now.  If there's a pressing need to secure it, Dagny might be able to pull a few strings for us to get us access to Garlicburg or some Scuba Gear.  I'd personally prefer using Dive since it's less conspicuous, but...well, a normal Dive from a Carvanha probably won't cut it for covertly excavating a Fossil...I don't think we should tell anyone about the fossil's location yet..."

Hearing Nathan go on a wistful and fairly heavy tangent about Marco left Ventus a little misty eye, as their feelings stirred up faded and half forgotten memories of his own father and all the good times they've shared. He reached forward to once again grip the boy's shoulder, this time as a gesture of pure sympathy as looked at them with unreserved kindess and nodded their head. Nothing pithy or witty, just a show of support that told them he understood. 

Looking at the photo and remembering what was written in that book, it should have been obvious who was the most probable author of the book was now in retrospect, but given his attention was focused elsewhere and how mildly out of sorts he was himself due to all the MAGICAL STUFF, that could be forgiven....he hopes.

Once the young scholar regained themselves and re-railed the prior discussion, the empath disengaged from them and returned to his own seat by the table/wherever the group is meeting, eyes closed as he mulled over their words, before opening and saying: "Good. I don't wish any of us to wake sleeping dragons if we don't have to, nor go on yet another dangerous quest so soon , especially since we still have not yet concluded the one we are on. If we can gain access to DIVE (He places emphasis on the word to signfy its the Better Version of the move), then we will use that, but if not we'll use whatever means we have available, if necessary to do so. I also have no qualms of the location of the fossil remaining secret, but its still ideal to leave this intel with someone in case.....something happens to all of us."

The last words had a fairly ominous tone to them, leaving plenty of room for imagination of what 'something' could be....

"I agree. And look the bright side: We now know the location of another Legendary HM. Wait to go Valder/@Nylon!" Heart give a positive finger to Ventus mercenary. "Now we have a destination to go. Flying Delta Onix here I come! Ohohohohoho, maybe a flying Golurk would be awesome too. A giant rock golem looks cool too, ohohohoho!" Heart giggle with though in his mind. He so damn want put his hands in that HM! "Next destination: Nature Preserve!" Say Heart with stars in his eyes.

"We only know the probability that FLY was located in the Natural Preserve at one point, not that its definitely there or hasn't been located and moved elsewhere in secret by the League. That, and it will be a hard and long journey to get back to Arrowroot for most anyone but myself, since my brother Haziel (Natu) is the only one capable of Teleporting me directly there from Stair City. Still, following that lead is a wise idea after we finish our business in Cress after our quest, I believe, as a Gym is apparently located there and I have a research visa to explore and conduct my....well, research there with minimal opposition. Any objections to heading towards the Natural Preserve ASAP?"
