[Goro blinks at the person, remaining quiet for a minute before shaking her head. Maciel hadn't mentioned anything about any of the kids having older siblings. Still, it gives her pause.. Snapping back to attention, she asks] So.. If people divide into groups and check each place, then they'll have to find it eventually, right? [A beat] Not if it moved, though..
At the moment, those areas have been fairly consistent. Investigating them would probably the best idea. Some have said they'd check the forest the previous times I'd mentioned, but I haven't heard from them on results.
[He then shakes his head, somewhat annoyed.] He needs to not use this as often as he's been these past days, but unfortunately it's the only way I can really get a clearer sense of things.
[He'll blink a little and double check his watch. The ID on the post says it's Maciel, but whoever's on the screen doesn't look a thing like him... it kind of looks like Naata, but there's more than a handful of details that are simply all wrong to match up. Plus, the blond tended to do the talking between the two.
All the same, this is the break through he's been waiting for.]
Speaking for everyone around here, I think a thanks are in order... but uhm, I don't think I saw you when I last talked to Maciel. Are you another one of his friends?
[Those dark eyes peer down at the screen, and he shakes his head.]
Don't thank me yet. There's still work to be done.
[He holds back a sigh, but he knew such questions would be inevitable the moment he chose to speak over the watches.]
-we haven't spoken like this, no. But you did see me- right now Maciel and I are using "assimilation" magic so that I can make better use of my own powers.

We will keep those places in mind. We have managed to fend them off our forest lodge, however, without that special weapon, they only move elsewhere.
...Who are you?

It's good to hear you're safe, at least. There was some concern since you're home is located so close to one of the source points.
... It's Naata. Maciel and I are using "Assimilation" magic- it's easier for me to control my magic this way. Unfortunately it's tiring on him.

[...Give her a minute.]
...Naata? I see...does Maciel need anything to make it easier for him?

[His enthusiasm turns to curiosity when the 'stranger' explains what their situation is.]
I see. That -I had no idea.

We don't use this method very much- it wears the sorcerer out. We just wanted to make sure we got this information through to everyone.

Any change, Naata-kun?

It seems pretty consistent, and it's been like that for the times I've checked.

[After all his insistence on people staying together ... tch. Well, Simon had a lot to answer for.]

-huh. Should have figured.
[He looks mildly annoyed.] Xion's already deep in the forest on her own, from what I can tell.
