Interview Rapport: POSITIVE, INTIMIDATING

After the sun has risen and you have tried to cleanse your mind of the blood writing you saw at the crime scene earlier, you make plans to interview Miyanta, who is the araquanid who owns and runs the Glaring Spider restaurant in town. You make your way over to the Glaring Spider, hoping she will be there, and find that the restaurant is closed in the morning, but the bug and water-type can be seen milling around inside. You open the door slightly, catching her attention immediately.

"Sorry, we're closed," she begins, but you quickly introduce yourself and explain that you are there to ask her some very important questions. She gives you a quizzical look. "Oh, really? Um..." She looks around a little. "I suppose I have some time. Please...come in." She crawls over to you and holds the door open with one of her enormous legs and you walk in, only about half her height. Despite this, she seems notably wary of you, and you wonder if it's because of your type.

You assume a nonthreatening seated position near the reception desk and explain vaguely what you and your companions are doing in town, but try to give her enough information that she does not find you suspicious. She seems to accept what you say, nodding along occasionally as she stands a few metres from you.

"I...I'm sorry, but...now really isn't a good time. Urvanine was...my waiter. My only waiter. My previous one...Lachli...was also killed by the Stalkers." You can see that she looks genuinely upset, and you wonder if the nidorino's sudden death is the cause for her presence in her restaurant so early in the day--perhaps she is trying to figure out how to proceed. Her breathing gets louder as you can see emotion beginning to take her, but it's impossible to tell if she's shedding tears based on the fact that a bubble of water encapsulates her head. "Urvanine was a great pokémon. He didn't have enemies as far as I knew... It's...horrible news."

She shakes her head, then turns around and walks a few paces. She turns back, walks towards you, and then, very clearly undecided with how to act, backs up a few paces. She apologises again and resigns to standing still.

"Um...I'm not sure what else I can help with. I know a lot of the residents in town, but I'm not friends with most of them. I'm closest with Willow, who is my son's teacher. She is just lovely. I-I also deal with some of the others in hospitality, like Terr. They're a little self-righteous, but not a bad pokémon by any accounts. Yurtag has been...very aggressive to me in the past, because I wouldn't hire him as a chef, but I don't think he's capable of...of..." She pauses, trying not to choke up, and starts again. "What I'm saying is, I can acknowledge that we all came from different places, and we all have a unique story. I cannot judge others because I do not know what they have been through." Miyanta uses one of her legs to fiddle with a chair as she speaks. "I just hope...m-my son will be okay. If something happened to him, I'd... Well, I don't want to think about it. Besides, he's strong."

You rack your brain for a dewpider on the list, but you don't think there is one. You wonder to whom she's referring, until she sees it on your face and clarifies.

"Oh, sorry--Rachta. Something...happened to his parents a while ago and I adopted him. He had no guidance, and, well, I hoped to provide him with some. You know--he's an intelligent boy, and he probably knows more about what goes on in town than I do. When he's not at school, he enjoys spending time at Jeek and Zundy, so you might be able to find him there. Perhaps he has a...clearer head than I."

She sighs, clearly anxious, and has a look of remorse on her face. "I'm sorry, but I really need to get back to things. I have a lot to...sort out. Thank you for speaking with me. I hope I was helpful."
