When told not to pick a fight, Steph went from all smiles and rainbows to a deep frown. She didn't pick fights, she ended them thank you very much! Ok, so maybe she went and got herself in some, she couldn't deny this. But they started it! Ahem, regardless, she was quick to shrug it off. She had no reason to pick a fight with the bugs anyway, so long as they stayed away from them, she had no qualms right now with letting em be. She was confident though that even if they were swarmed, she had enough partners good against bugs to deal with it. Dusk not least of all.
Mind you, when they came across the slash marks and she lingered by them, one hand tracing over the deep cuts there might've been a fear of her going to investigate what caused them. And if she had been by herself? Or at the very least, only had Freya with her? Yeah, she would've. She had her suspicions as to what might've caused this, and if true she would adore the chance to deal with one. But not even a bug like that interested her much, so eventually she broke away and continued after the other two.
Well, at least until her pokedex buzzed. Seeming puzzled, she pulled the device out and flipped it open. Thankfully, she already knew how to operate the device so it spared her the embarrassment that might've otherwise followed if she didn't know how to. She wasn't the best with tech, and barely knew how to operate a mobile phone as she never really had to use one before. Pulling the message up, she somehow managed to not trip over as she read the mail from Jason while she walked.
Not to say she didn't nearly trip over every tree root nearby, but Dusk managed to sway one way or the other to keep her balance or turn her in a direction that wasn't the middle of a tree trunk. If the others asked her what she was reading, she would simply respond with;
"Some guy cohled Jason just messaged me, wahnts t' mybee taym up aw somethin, buh' Oy'm troyin t' remembah who...hmmm....'faellaow aspirant'? Ah! Oy gawt ih'!" Clicking her fingers after mulling it over for a good ten seconds, a face came to mind. She hadn't seen him for long, nor even really got a chance to talk to him. But that was probably him, right? He was the only other guy there bar that Tristan, and not even considering the fact their names were entirely different, she figured there was very little chance he would ever message her. Not that she ever wanted him to, bloke could choke on an ekans for all she cared right now.
Sure! I'm with a couple of others already, but the more the merrier right? We're in Starbor Woods at the moment checking something out, but when we're done we were going to head to Starbor anyway so can meet you there. Always down for a good brawl, so if nothing else wouldn't mind testing our mettle if we get the chance!

With a speed that required to be seen to believed, such was how slowly she typed this message, it took her the rest of their journey to the cabin to type up and send the message back to Jason, promptly putting her pokedex back in her pocket just in time to not walk into the railing of the steps up to the porch.
Eh? When had they stepped into a horror movie? This was just ripped out of one right? Steph took a moment to register her surroundings and blinked, having not paid it much heed till now because she was entirely focused on her message. Taking a step back, she did so to take several steps forward as she almost immediately stomped up the steps while Freya talked.
"Well, no bettah why t' foind eow' than t' ask roigh'? Lets go see if anyone's home eh?" Without an ounce of hesitation in her, she approached the door with an almost menacing aura before...politely, even if a bit loudly, knocking on the door. Like, maybe there was a momentarily fear she would kick the door of its hinges, and while sure the idea was tempting, it was a bit rude if someone lived here right? If no one answered, sure kicking the door down would be more appealing by the second, but for now she would knock a few times before patiently waiting for an answer, or for someone to answer.
