Sure thing!  IC infodump, go!

"...the Bronzong are used as a signal to nearby soldiers.  Anyone can ring the bell pokemon to call the soldiers, but if they do...usually, it better be for a good reason, or the soldiers will typically be...less than pleased.  Not really something to worry about so long as there isn't any trouble and they're left alone.  The Bronzong are effectively just decorations most of the time."

Nathan looks up at the Flying types as casually as he can, then back at Terra.  "...Sarimanok's wizards would also sometimes use Flying types for surveillance purposes.  Few would pay them any mind, and it was hard to tell them apart from the usual wild Flying type pokemon, so they were...quite good at doing what they were tasked with.  I'm not sure if those ones are wild or not.  Just one more way the King would keep an eye on anything and everything...but again, they're kinda in the same boat as the Bronzong.  Leave 'em alone, don't act suspicious, and don't cause a ruckus, and they'll probably leave you alone."

(Huh.....didn't expect you to go to the trouble of actually doing this IC, but I appreciate the infodump all the more because of it. Thanks, mate!)

*Flashback!*

"Ah. So Bronzong......not to be worried about, unless big trouble happens? Hm....if it does......should we ring them? Or try to take care of problem.....on our own? You said we should avoid soldiers, but if something very bad happens......"

(....)

"Ah. Hm.....Sammy has lots of........creepy resources he can use. *Beat* ....He is King, so that should not be surprising. *Shakes head* Still creepy.... Will avoid birds, and try not to get their attention. If they cause group problem, though, Melly can zap them all and - "

As he speaks, Terra remembers Nathan's/most other Cheshirains......squeamishness towards Pokemon hunting, and cuts himself off abruptly, covering it up with a semi-awkward cough before continuing speaking smoothly as possible.

"....We can all run and hide, or catch them all. "

Whew, nice save! Hopefully so, anyway!
