Araceli let the turbulent girl speak, occasionally looking away from her eyes, just to make sure she does not feel glared at. A few acknowledging "mhms" and "I see"s are scattered in her ramblings but when she finishes, the chem-witch simply looks around and sits Zaria down in the nearest chair available. While doing so, she did her best to show no hostility, even crouching a little to make herself look smaller. It looks a little ridiculous but, heck, it helped in the past for others.

"A personality is often decorated in paradoxes." She smiles, her voice a little deeper to sound more calming. The resulting voice was... questionably close to being seductive. "Magnus is a very interesting personality but maybe his demeanor and behavior are a way of coping with his trauma. We cannot tell for now... but with enough time and patience, we might!"

Araceli reaches into her pocket and hands Zaria a gum. Mint flavor, of course. "Look, you should not be ashamed of your emotions. Nor should you try to be a cold machine or a emotional one. The key is to balance the salty and the sweet." Short pause. "... wait I think that's not how the saying goes..." "Ehh, what I mean is... don't aim for either extreme. Go for a healthy middle. Then, we can work together on closing that chapter in your life once and for all. And you emerge from it, more radiant than ever." Seems like Araceli's empathy influences her speech... for better or worse.

The chem-witch then puts her hand on Zaria's shoulder, her face now a confident, yet calm, smile. She could even see her teeth. "If you ever feel like you could use a helping hand, my lab doors are open. And the foyer before it has books, a punching bag, all that stuff. You know. Recreation." She smiles more now. "Anything else you would like to get off your shoulders? I am a good keeper of secrets."

Fortevera opens her book and just stares into it. The pictures were pretty, the text... not so much. But she pretends to care, just because else she might risk a scolding or something. A sigh came from the green thumbed lady and she looks around class right after, humming a little.

"Alright." At first, Iteral was a little miffed about that tone of hers but a few seconds later, she discarded those thoughts. After all, this entire war does not really spark a peace of mind... so, the witch professor returns with a tray and four cups of tea and some biscuits she found in a drawer. "I hope you don't mind the extras." Her voice is a little tired but overall friendly.

Iteral sighs in relief and nods. "Thanks, Mona, I'll do that... hehhhhh, I haven't toyed with your magic in at least a decade." She walks past her, but stops about a meter behind. "I'll make myself a cup of tea. I'll leave some extra in the kettle, in case Kendo, you or that foreigner want some. I know your hospitality knows no bounds." She walks into the kitchen, leaving Mercy to see the barrier. It is borderline indescribable, as the light keeps being absorbed by the darkness... but the light never dims, as if both feed off each other to maintain themselves. Only one thing is clear:
Mercy's stellar light has found a match: The dark nebulas of Iteral.

Inside the kitchen, Iteral just stares at the kettle while it boils.

"... seems like you have it under control. I'll work on the barrier." Iteral said, going outside and raising both arms again to reinforce it. She frowned a little but shook her hear, now concentrating on the protective shield.

Iteral holds back and whispers something. "Come viene, viene." She whispers and then sighs, putting one hand into her pocket. Seeing how Mona wants to give off peaceful vibes, she disarms herself by placing the wand into her bag, showing empty hands now. Probably unnecessary, seeing how nobody really expects anything from her but, better that than to risk a sneak attack. "Kendo... do you have something to calm the nerves?" She leans to him to be a little discreet.

Iteral groans, finally arriving at the scene of the action. "You know, I have had it with the whole cupboard thinking. Kendo, get that edge down, he's here because he was ordered to. And judging by his behavior, he's only complying because he has a vendetta against some of us."

"Wait!" Elvira stops right as they were in the middle of the room. She did so in an almost cartoony way, stopping instantly and stiffing up, standing to her full height. Granted, she was short but... heck. "... do we have... money?" She asks silently, leaning to Shieta to whisper. That was the first time that she tries to be silent, as she pulls her wallet from her skirt. "Ummm, let's see..."

She didn't need long to count the coins but she had no idea how much she actually had. So, the redhead needed to kind of visualize. All Shieta heard was "... if three coins are one melon..."

The silence wasn't broken by Araceli's words but instead by action. She had few questions, their entire conversation filled her in mostly. Sure, she didn't really know about Team Plasma or their backstories and all but she did not need to.

It seems like it all hit very close to home for Zaria and interrogating her seems like the worst thing she could do right now. It reminds her a little of when former friends meet after a falling out, it just wasn't healthy to watch. So, the chem-witch did the only thing she right now could do.

Embrace Zaria and close her eyes. "I know there is a lot on your mind." She whispers. "You don't have to explain yourself. I'm just here to make sure you'll be alright." She finishes with that and nods, adding a sound to the ambience now. Araceli's heart, it was pumping harder and faster.

A parting gift from Roserade to Rai. A gift card for a book store, seems like she never used it. Araceli never read modern books anyway, they were a little corny for her taste. He handed it over but when Rai left, the Grass-type followed.

Araceli meanwhile looks into Quentin's lab... she only saw a moving shadow but she could tell the difference between "contemplating walking" and "chaotic walking", so she could discern that it was, most likely, Zaria. But, barging in wasn't a good idea either, she probably still has a turbulent mind. So, she sat down in front of the lab and leans onto the opposing wall, watching the shadow move until it didn't anymore. When it stopped, Araceli tries opening the lab doors... those modern doors are a little weird for her but she knows the basics

Iteral finally managed to erect the barrier, right where Mercy left off and her work paid off. The shield itself consists of both celestial light and stellar shadows but they no longer combine to annihilate each other. In a dance of bright- and darkness, it guards the inner sanctum, this time without side effects. As the witch finished and went back, she shivered briefly. Something... was off. But, after a close umbral inspection, nothing except the intruder was here... weird. Maybe just the wind.

So, she makes her way inside, wand in hand and ready to cast something.

Araceli takes the final cup and drinks the truth serum herself. Despite the drama, they were both still courteous enough to thank her for her service. That was interesting. Would've been greater if they drank her serum, which was actually just a drink from this weird purple ube thing, but you can't have it all. "Sure, sure, we all have tensions we'd like to ease right now. The door is mechanical, you can just open it." She sighs, finishing her drink and opening the door first. "Magnus, I don't expect you to be truthful. We all have our demons, but... it's obvious Zaria cares about you. The least you can do is show some respect."

This time, she left to the upper floors. She didn't really know where Zaria would flee to but judging by time and everything, she made a beeline for Quentin's lab. They work together a lot and Quentin is a night owl, so the thought of Zaria going there was plausible.

Pei makes her alien sounds again but, judging by how the cloud bird looks at her hair, she assumes she likes them. Well, Pheromosa are known to flaunt their beauty... so she throws her hair back in front of the Aquatuner, to show how sparkly it is.

Pei stops staring after a while and looks down at Evelyn. She just imitates the wave, a lot of people do it to her. Maybe it means hello. When mentioned, she turns to Saphira and waves as well, the exact same movement as before. Her piercing blue eyes stare at her, while her "hair" showed it's turquoise tint now, sparkly like water.

Araceli was less annoyed at everyone being here and more just intrigued. Out of the entire laboratory, her basement was the odd one out. No cameras, walls full of drawings and stapled papers, some more coherent, others almost hieroglyphic. The otherwise stark white that decorated the upper labs was replaced with a terracotta-like brown/orange, apart from some discoloration from splashes. And while the labs had fancy beakers, see-through flasks and all that, she worked a lot more medieval. Cauldrons, grinders, there was a reason she was called "the witch" after all. Though she seemed a lot more hospitable than the name suggests.

"If either of you can leave them be for the time being, you can stay down here. I still have some hot chocolate left." Araceli points behind her and gave a little smile. Annoyed, a little but not enough to throw them out or anything.

Araceli looks at the newcomer Albe, slightly irritated about how everyone barged into her lab like that. She didn't mind the company, it was just surprising how many people came to the basement, considering nobody could read her writings or figure out what she was brewing half the time. Not to mention certain personality quirks that makes the scientists in the upper levels difficult.

Though, seeing how Raiden, Magnus and Zaria had something to discuss, she took the initiative and slowly backed Albe away from the door with Roserade. Closing the lab door, she whispers. "Psst. We're having a bit of an irritated reunion and he..." She points at Magnus. "... fainted on my doorstep. I nursed them back to health and now they want to do an intervention. Best if you don't disturb them!" Araceli whispers, while Roserade looks at Albe's Pokémon, handing out candy bars to either again.

Iteral nods in agreement and, when Mercy stopped her spell, she resumed where her mother left off. "Don't worry, I'll keep it up!" She makes a little groan from the spell itself but kept the barrier construction going. Even if some less divine magic had to fill in gaps... all Iteral hoped was that they would come out okay.

Iteral narrows her eyes and gasps a little. "She's gearing up for a protective spell. Khalfani, you have better senses, can you see anything out of the ordinary around us?" She asks, already with her wand in hand and looking around.

Iteral nods in accordance, leaving the hall and going to the construction that would become a statue. Some thoughts ran through her mind, some less harmful like asking if Lean had some time to visit... all the way to, if the Saint Deity was happier during her imprisonment, compared to now. A little swirl with her finger and some ticking sounds later, the statue finished building, almost by itself. Another icy testament to how much the land has fallen to frost...

a visible sigh. She'd been doing her best for both Saints for almost a year now and, as much as the current Saint Deity seems to close herself off in her chilled casket, Iteral likes to think that her actions prevented anything worse from happening.
Was it a lie she told herself? Maybe. But in this tundra, it's one that keeps her warm at night.

She returns to deliver the message of the finished construction. "It's done." That's all she said.

"We are almost done, Saint Deity. The final thermal test just finished." Iteral replies, looking into her little clipboard and tilting her head slightly. In contrast to her, she withstood the test of time and retains more aspects from the past. She was dressed the least winterly, wearing black/grey all over her body. Black shirt, overcoat, lace-up boots, pants, even scarf. The only thing that isn't a shade of grey/black on her body are the "Mark of the Stars" that she attached on aforementioned coat, shirt and boots. They sparkle as well, though this time with a little help from the winter wonderland that this world has become. The architect looks ahead at the hall they were in... a little heat would do it well. Then again, heat would also do the Saint Deity well... but she gave up on that idea some time ago.
