"I could trade you the key I used for the door, which would seem prudent given a stranger has a key to your place," Shio responded, holding up the key in offer. She wasn't used to bartering with people, so this was definitely something to write down in the experience book, especially given the second request of the woman.

"i don't know who Kim is or how I could find him, but if you could direct me I will see if I can locate him," Shio added. "Also, given the timeline, you'd be a ghost. Are you aware that you are a ghost or currently possessed by one? I am an exorcist and can provide my services."

Shio was now feeling what she suspected was excitement. This was now treading on her territory. Although, it was unique given that the woman was in her human form as a ghost, which was quite unusual. That usually invoked powerful magic long lost to their world. It could pose a challenge to her skills. She had spent the trip up to Ward reviewing Gishiki material in order to better deal with events like Toran where she had felt a bit useless, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that this would help her in dealing with this woman.

Shio was ready to pull out one of her books on Gishiki and start reading through it to try to solve the situation.
