[ Emmet just blinks inquisitively back at Laios when the Boltund looks between him and Shoka. Some ghosts are said to be guides to lost spirits, others are said to steal them away, and still more are said to just feed on them. Or some combination of the above. In any case, as far as Emmet knows, Hisuian Zoroark are ... none of those? As far as he can tell, he does not have much of a sixth sense for divining whether there's anything tasty in the vicinity, soul wise. Maybe if he worked really hard on developing that kind of sense he might, possibly? For locating intended rescue targets only, of course.

(Probably if he has any special ghost senses at all they'd be related toooo ... memory somehow? At least in retrospect the way Ingo reacted in response to certain things makes more sense now.)

But in any case the question goes unvoiced, so that's all a hypothetical! ]

Hmm, if he's seen something... We're fast. We could scout and regroup.

[ probably. ]

We probably do not need to and should not spread out that much, now that someone's noticed something off. But it is still worth scouting ahead, I think.

[ To that end, he picks his pace up a little to keep up with Laios— Shoka's free to follow or hang out with the other two instead. ]
