Jade Araceli.
Devon Building.
ARPers: Grassy_Aggron (Enja).

For a moment, Enja's affected tone made Jade's expression soften. However, she quickly returned to her usual businesslike manner. "A few years ago, hm? That means that they're almost certain to be gone, and that's a damn shame. Not that we can get to Slateport easily; Asteria can only carry -"

Tense silence was Jade's only reply for several seconds. On one hand, intervening in someone else's fight could get them killed. On the other, inaction would tear Asteria apart, and possibly cause a completely preventable death. Sighing, she looked from Asteria's worried face to Enja. "Asteria's instincts are rarely wrong. I don't suppose you'll lend us a hand?"
