Platina's Metal Sound

Kogeki tries to analyze the Waterfall, but Platina's sudden screeching breaks his concentration and causes everyone else in the group to suddenly have to cover their ears to try and block out the horrible sound!

The sound of screeching metal reverberates through the corridor, echoing down it, but no threats immediately show themselves.  Kogeki's Anticipation goes untriggered for now, and the surroundings remain quiet.  Tensely quiet as the eeveelutions both turn to look at the metallic bird.

Espeon hesitates a second before speaking up, trying to figure out how to put this nicely.  "...I suppose you're new at this, so we can cut you some slack, but making a lot of noise generally isn't..."

Umbreon interrupts with a more blunt version.  "Let me just get straight to the point.  If there's anything nearby, they definitely know we're here now.  Let's hope you're not causing us more trouble down the line by screeching like that."

"...yes, that.  That's rather the opposite of being cautious..."

"Let's check out those pebbles while we have a chance, before we end up getting a surprise visitor.  Be quick about it, Kee."

*rolls*

Kee picks up some of the pebbles, but most of them are really small and don't look like they're usable for much despite being so shiny.  He does manage to find two that look like they're about the same size as a Gravelerock though, and can likely be used in a similar fashion as the throwables.

In addition, while digging through the pile of stones, Kee finds a clear, teardrop shaped necklace filled with what looks like clear water.  It's a Mystic Water!  What a lucky find!

Umbreon's standing lookout while Kee is investigating that.  "All done?  We should get going then.  I'd recommend moving more carefully though after all that ruckus."

Initially being stared downed by both Eeveelutions was both a confusing and somewhat nerve-wracking affair - 'What? Why are they looking at me like so?' - until Umbreon's distinct lack of tact caused her to bristle and fully turn her attention towards him, giving the umbral fox a not-quite-but-getting-there displeased look.

"There are better ways of bringing a point across, Lord Umbreon. I know scholars such as yourself are sharp of wit and tongue, but hardly is there a need to let it lose so.....rudely."

She then turns towards Espeon and gives her a apologetic bow, looking much more subdued with her as opposed to the brother.

"My apologies, Lady Espeon. It was not my intention to cause anyone trouble - I thought announcing one's presence or calling for Pokemon's attention was the norm, but it appears I was mistaken. It won't happen again, unless for a good reason."

The Shiny Bird is initially interested in the Mystic Water the star-eyed racoon-dog managed to unearth, but quickly lost interest once she realized it would serve no use to her or anyone else in the party. Perhaps they can give it to that young drake Dax later? He seemed like a good sort for it, and maybe it would get him to be a little less reserved with her and the group.

Once everyone was ready to head on forward, Platina offered to lead the way into the next room, out of a sense of responsibility for the rucus she caused. "If I ended up attracting undue attention to ourselves, it is only fitting I be the first one to face it and take the brunt of retaliation. That, and possibly diffuse any sort of conflict, if said Pokemon are agreeable enough to it - I do have a way with words as my - as many have said to me in the past, ahem."
