Qin sighed, noting that even Asriel was completely stumped by Storm's scratches.
"The only one who could figure this out might be Finna, she knows Storm best after all..."
Taking a quick moment to memorize the image, then throwing it to the back of his mind. He brought his attention back to the present situation and realized they had newcomers and quite a few of them at that. His eyes shifted from Jason to the egg in Kaleb's arm letting his gaze rest on the former for quite a while. He was slightly suspicious as he didn't remember seeing the youth on the boat, but he hadn't exactly gone out to socialize, so the people he could recall were limited at best. With a slight glare, Qin faced Jason and questioned.
"Which professor sent you? Do you have any proof?"
I'd be quite a tragedy if the Auralians managed to pull a fast one on them.

Quilla once again awoke to warm, and wet, though the distinct lack of numbness in her joints was a pleasant reminder that she was no longer freezing half to death. Mumbling in slight displeasure she pushed Ausytra's head, and more importantly tongue, from out of her face. Shooting the Pokemon a playful glare while she simultaneously pursed her lips. The Lapras seemed to giggle at her actions before gesturing to the east.
Quilla turned observe what was so important Ausy's had disturbed her sleep. The first thing she noticed was that they no longer sailed the river's currents but had made their way to a peaceful lake surrounding by lush greenery. The second thing she noticed, and also the last, was a girl standing not too far away from the river's banks. She was quite clearly the reason Ausytra had awoken her. The girl was rather tall and slender but her skin was pale olive, it created great contrast her her raven-black left sided hair and a bit of synergy with the cotton white right sided hair. Quilla took little notice of her attire as she was already long past the point of 'observation'. She gripped onto Ausytra's neck tightly and spoke a single word, filled with a burning excitement!
"Go!"
Without needing another word Lapras began galloping over the lake's surface, making a bee-line for the shore, and the dual-haired girl.
