Shantae looked to Sparx when he flew up to the ceiling and called for them to get to a room, so they could discuss in private. The half-genie was about to offer the turtle in the chair assistance up the stairs, but he seemed to take care of it himself. She did stay close, just in case he needed help, or if he accidentally fell down somehow. However, as she went up the stairs, she noticed the cloaked figure in the room with the Snorlax, drinking tea. The cloak was suspicious, and she remembered the last time she didn't question something simply (Uncle Mimic's so-called blueprints, which were swapped out by Risky), things almost didn't end well.

Soon they were in the room, and the pillows on the floor reminded Shantae of home. She took a seat on the floor with her legs crossed, and she listened carefully to Sparx's tale. After James answered Sparx's question regarding Gnasty and the dragonfly commented about Gnasty, and how the thief was after the winning items, Shantae blinked and spoke out loud with her fingers clasping her chin in thought, "[color=gold]...Actually, that 'egg thief' seemed much more interested in the people than the winning prizes. After it stuffed someone in a bag, that person was infected...[/color]"

Shantae listened to the rest of Sparx's story, and when the dragonfly was finished, the man with the cup for a head spoke up and volunteered to help. James also rose up to the task and suggested they get inoculated and get Guile to help them get to the Dragon Realms. After the both of them spoke up, Shantae volunteered "[color=gold]I'll help too, Sparx! Consider this Guardian Genie on the case![/color]"

Her attention turned to the turtle in the wheeled chair as he pointed out the fact that there was a cloaked man downstairs, and that he may be the cloaked man Sparx encountered before. After Taric asked, Shantae shook her head and answered "[color=gold]No. Confronting him directly doesn't seem like a good idea. For one, there's also the chance that this guy could just be another average joe, just drinking tea. Secondly, if this [i]is[/i] the guy, and he was powerful enough to take down Spyro, then he may be powerful enough to take down all of us. Lastly, if that guy is here, then he may be after Sparx. We need to make sure Sparx remains safe and sound as well as save Spyro![/color]"

After a moment of recalling how she managed to escape from the green men from earlier, she muttered "[color=gold]I've got it...![/color]" She then told the others, "[color=gold]I can shape shift and do some reconnaissance. I don't think he'll recognize me in a different form,[/color]"
