[color=lime]"I wasn't concerned about [i]your[/i] well-being, dummy. That Ayu-lady told me to help you people out, and I can't really say spreading a disease around would be [i]helping[/i]."[/color] Relica replied, when the monk thanked her for her concern. Maybe she was just being shy?

Upon hearing the monk's comment about the various bits and bobs of advanced technology and magic in the outside world, the gremlin gave him a raised eyebrow of surprise. She hadn't expected someone from a traditionalistic society like this to be interested in foreign tech and science. Much less so when you factored in that this guy was a monk - ergo, some kind of priest or clergyman, who weren't exactly known for being open-minded and interested in concepts and/or things beyond their very narrow teachings. Perhaps there was hope yet for this far-eastern backwater?

[color=lime]"Can't speak for those statue-things you mentioned, never seen anything like those myself. Still though, yeah. The rest of what you brought up do exist for sure. Not really anything [i]new[/i] though. I think it's more a case of your home here just being a bit too stuck in your ways."[/color] She replied eventually, looking around the temole grounds at the other Shizuyamen.

When the question about how she could ensure him not being contaiminated though, a wry smile came across her face.

[color=lime]"Like this!"[/color]

[i]Blip. Clink. Swish. Bmmmmmmh! Vzzt. Tonk, tonk! Fop. Fop. Fop. Fop. Fop. Fopfop. Fopfopfop. Fopfopfopfopfopfopfopfopfopfopfop! Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!![/i]

A metallic rod suddenly shot up from the the pack on Relica's back. A pair of rotor-blades then folded outwards once it was done extending, and they began to turn slowly. Then faster. Then faster. Then faster still. Finally, the little lady became airborne, hovering at roughly the same height as the monk's head - seeing as he was considerbably taller than her. As she now floated gingerly in the air, lazily circling the monk, she spoke - albeit a bit louder in order to overcome the noise of the spinning blades above her own noggin.

[color=lime]"With this, I could just fly in over the infected area. And, if we had a rope and a basket, I could just carry the medicine and whatever instructions you wrote down on something, and deliver it safely without us ever needing to set foot in the actual place and risk infection."[/color] She said, apparently very pleased with her own genius plan, as she was positively beaming with pride.

After the little show-casing of her technical prowess though, the gremlin landed once again. The rotor-contraption folded in and sunk back into her pack once more. Dusting herself off from the small bits of dirt and debris that had been thrown about lightly while she was hovering, Relica walked over and stood closer to the monk before finally adding her last bit of thoughts.

[color=lime] "Anyway, how can a disease not be infectuous? If it wasn't, how the heck did these people catch it in the first place? Well, whatever. I'll just have to trust you know what you're doing."[/color] She sighed. [color=lime]"Let's get going whenever you're ready. I'll let you do the talking to any of your fellow locals and natives, as long as they ain't hostile. But if we get into a situation where we need to fight, I trust you'll follow my instructions, got it? My top priority here is to get you from here to there, in one piece preferbly, and I can't do that if you don't listen to me if or when it really counts, got it?"[/color]
