Pyra is rightly worried and panicked when Kogeki nearly gets flattened by the Rock Slide trap, and wastes nary a second rushing over to him to fret over his injuries, clutching him somewhat tightly and closely inspecting the most injured areas before giving him a look brimming with concern.

"Spirit Ninja Kogeki, are you well and alright?! Do you need serious healing, an Oran Berry or Karen's Life Dew drops, or can you endure these wounds that foul trapped inflincted upon you?"

She didn't even notice or care about the pile of Items until Marcus called attention to it, prompting her to look up and give them (the Items) a critical once over before smiling in delight. Yes, these Items were most certainly worth the trouble and harry to obtain them.....though regretably at the cost of some of Kogeki's wellbeing. Oh, how she wishes she could march back over to that Conkeldurr and tear a bloody strip out of his hide for all the trouble he caused.....! But between the group's newest objective of investigating Machamp for Foul Play and the strong notion she has that her friends would yet again balk at the idea of further and proper punishment of the Conk Squad out of....out of some ineffable sense of care and compassion towards them, that would never be the case. 

The she demon lets out a small *sigh* as that thought concluded. More and more, she wonders why some of her friends are so difficult to both understand and care for. Kogeki at least hardly judges her at all and accepts her the most, and Kee is such a lovely friend when things are fair between them, but given the former plans to leave the group someday and the later's tendency to repeatedly confound her........ *Sighs*


Before she could formulate an answer to the bone craftsmon Kogeki beat her to the punch, and subsequently got into a small squabble with Dax as they (Dax) firmly disagreed with their 'Take All, Screw Them' mentality.  That dims her smile to the point it nearly becomes a flat line across her face, and for a moment she stays silent as they argued, watching intently with a inscrutable expression.

Then, she suddenly tugs at the phantom brave, hopefully getting his attention and forestalling the aquatic salamander's as she looked him (Kogeki) gently in the eyes.

"Agree and share in many of your belief-ideas, I do, my dear friend Kogeki. Certainly we should pilfer and repossess all of Mightless Conkeldurr's Items for ourselves, yes, for they deserves nothing less and much much more retribution for their attempts to waylay and pound us senselessly, unjustifiably, and brutishly  so. *Huffs* Rudeness and misplaced defiant pride after being soundly and rightly cow-downed, refusing to accept fully our kindess and mercy before and after our battle, makes them ever greater in 'worthiness' for harsh justice. Oh how I wanted to fulfil their foolish wish, oh yes, *Sighs* ....but Machamp is more important to deal with than waste time with them....."

Pyra trails off as she stops to look over at everyone else and gives them a disappointed grimace-smile (I'll leave it up to the imagination how she can pull THAT off), before very quietly whispering the next part to the dread jackal (If anyone wants to listen in, I'd ask Dragonstrike to make a roll for it, since she's trying to keep it private to not rile them up).

"....and our freinds and Marcus does not seem to share my-you-our idea-beliefs on dealing with that lot, or others like such them. Why, I still can not fathom, no, other than them having some.....odd care feelings for our enemies that......overcomes all of our bond-friendship, somehow. Know not how that is possible, allowable for them to choose our foes and those that intend to do serious harm or bad hinderance to us all, but.....but it so. The way they are. Something we must accept, finding ways to work with or past their......weird-wrong feelings. Because regardless, no matter what, they are still our cherish and beloved friends. Understand, my dear Kogeki?"

Once she finishes up her (hopefully) quelling plea for tolerance on the grim canine's part, she looks back over to Dax with a weakish smile.

"We should take and claim all these Items for ourselves, to tend and refresh ourselves for our journey-job ahead us, yes....."

*Sighs*

"....but I believe-think you would not accept such a thing - mayhaps Karen, Kee, and Marcus too, hmm. Find it wrong to do so, for reasons I can't understand or fully accept, no. So let us....compromise, reach a deal we both can agree on somewhat. Here is what I propose: We divide three of the Apples to eat for ourselves (1/2 each for the group + Marcus), take one Oran for Kogeki, the Heal Seed and all the Poke for ourselves and......leave the rest for that brute and his allies to....treat and recover from their injuries. *Smiles a bit more* What do you say, Dax? My friends, and Marcus too?"

....She then tilts her head at the webbed lizard, and says this simple but highly contentious opinion: "Oh, and I must ask, why do you.....believe-think Team Artificer is so bad? To me, in my own head, they are just another Team at the Guild, in the way carry on and act like most of our fellow Adventurers, only aggressively-furatively more..."

Order: Try to have Pyra diffuse the brewing conflict between Dax and Kogeki, and put forth her own idea of what the group takes from the Loot Pile. We already have plenty of Orans from Kee, I think, Karen has Life Dew for healing, and we already have plenty of Revivers that we don't need to take the ones here if Dax/Karen/Marcus wants to be somewhat merciful and kind in their pillaging. OOC I rather we take all the Items, because if we want some we might as well get them all and we don't really owe Conk and Co anything beyond proving our characters goodness (which has already been abundantly demonstrated, imo), but I rather not we fight over this IC or OOC, so here goeth my solution that hopefully everyone will like.

Oh, and something else that'll take everyone's mind off the past situations IC and open up some opportunities for some good ol' character values interplay! That'll be fun~!

Ah, and for my shake, let this whole scene happen before Marcus decides to do his own argument breaking.  Doesn't exactly fit well after it, imo.

Spoiler

With both Karen and Pyra rushing over to Kogeki after some of the rocks have fallen straight onto him despite the efforts of not getting harmed, it may be not entirerly necessary for Kee to fret over him - but he STILL zigzags over to the deltadoggo as quick as he can to see whether he's alright, he just CAN'T find it himself to not see and check for himself whether he's fine. Althought 'fine' is relative after what has just happened...

(...) He punch some rocks and finally stand up. He returns to his friend while he is a little bruised. "Urgh. Just a few scratches, but alive somehow." (...)

*relieved smile and encouraging nod* "My, that's been quite tha risky move ya've taken. But, I'm thankful ya did that leap of faith, well done there!~ Quite a good toss ya made, hehehe." Kee gives him a - careful to not hurt him - pat onto the shoulder.

(...) "Pyra, Kee, what do you think?  Do we take all the items or not?"

The furry crittercoon has been watching and listening in onto everything that's shared among Kogeki, Daxter , Pyra and Marcus with some sort of blank expression, it's extremely hard to figure out what he's thinking or feeling at the moment/about the situation. Only when Marcus adresses him directly Kee perches up and gives the craftsman of a cubone a short glance. "Hmm."

Then Kee walks/zigzags over to the pile of Items, carefully picks up one of the Oran Berries and one of the Tiny Reviver Seeds, puts them into his guitar bag and lastly gives a bit of a sigh-huff. "That is all I wish to take 'long, both t'heal us or some of tha people Machamp's got imprison'd, shall it be nec'ssary. If ya people wanna claim more of that loot, do so an' please share it b'tween yarselves as I want NOTHIN' of it." He shakes his head. "It's nat in mah place t'critize or rate yar 'pinions, ya BOTH are valid."

Another sigh-huff. "Once ya're done makin' up yar minds an' 'greed on somethin', letsa get goin' 'ventually, I'll wait for y'all." Kee semi-turns towards the path they came from, ready to move ahead. "Ya know, all I wish is t'become a respected 'dventurer of Delphox's Guild, help Pokemon 'n need an' do what's RIGHT to me - but at times, ya people are making these d'sires an' aims of dear-me sort of high-flown an' hard t'follow."

-------
Mechanically and meta-wisely, that means that Kee claims one Oran Berry to make up for the one he used on Forretress earlier as well as one Tiny Reviver Seed in case we do have to battle Machamp or more Fighting Types in general. I'm fine if you people wish to take more or even all of the remaining Items - but Kee wishes to have none of it and I'd like to have nothing to do with your decisions. Up to you to decide and share (or not), as I'd rather not include me or Kee into this conflict. ...Okay?

Kogeki try to calm down Pyra trying to speak with her while she check his body. "Do not worry Pyra. I most okay, I serious! Just a few superficial wounds, nothing more. I think its not necessary waste a Oran Berry or a healing drops from Karen. I think we just need to walk for a while to heal myself a bit, nothing difficult. You people dont need to be worry."

Kogeki was about to argue again with Marcus and Daxter...until Pyra came and try to calm down the tension of the situation. Kogeki doesnt like to be compare to Team Artificer, but still didnt think that Conk gang deserve the trouble in helping them. 

He would prefer to grab everything...but he accept Pyra and Kee decisions about the split of the items. "Thank you Pyra, my friend. Wish I the others dont even go beyond to judge you or me like that...*sigh* But, as you said yourself thats the way things are I suppose. And I agree with you: Despite our conflict views they still are our friends, and I will fight against any enemy who dare to inflict any harm to them."

Kogeki listen to Kee words...and was thankful to his decision. He approach to the items in front of him and take a good look. He was tempt to grab everything...but listening to Pyra and Kee words he decided not grab everything. But he grab a good bunch of said items.

Listen of items he grab:
- 3 Apples as Pyra suggested.
- All the Poké since they need money.
- And Heal Seed.

"Honestly, I think we should carry that last Revive Seed too. We might need that in the battle against Machamp. We have 2 Dark Types here, so that might dangerous. But I carrying the items Kee and Pyra suggested. Its up to you people if you want one of the items be left behind to keep things "balanced". But I strong suggest grab that Revive Seed. We never know when we might need."
