> "Well, I understand that pets need to be fed and sheltered and bathed. Might need to be groomed and vaccinated too."
>"And do be sure you keep the current pet contained. She may just be my ticket up the mountain, so I'd rather she not get away."
> Head outside.
> "All right, let's do this. Best of luck. Make sure to keep this place posted if anything important happens."
> "Not sure, to be honest. Where I return first will depend on what I find. I'd suggest stationing yourself at Kourindou, returning here to report anything important, and staying here if everyone's money is returned. I'll find you from there."
> "Take care. Give Patchy my regards."
> Take flight ourselves, shielding ourselves from the rain with the umbrella, and head southwest, back toward the heretic house.> Keep an eye out for that flying wedge. If it's close to our flight path at any time, fly toward it instead.
> Sure, let's pick up the pace and head west.> What's on the ground to the west from here, anyway?
> Full speed to intercept this thing, and let's get ready to shoot at it when we get close to it.
> Full-speed fight, aimed upward, trying to intercept its path based on how we've observed it circling.
> Quickly, pull out our trident and hold it out to the side in one hand, while firing some basic talisman danmaku straight up into the air with our other. Not too much, just enough to draw attention.
> Wait it for a few more seconds to see if it comes back around.
> Grip the trident in both hands in front of us in a defensive position, and give the wedge a few seconds to turn back around toward us.
> If it's circling around us instead of coming at us, let's get in its flight path again.> Quickly fly in the direction needed to cut off its current flight path, assuming it keeps following the same circle. Maintain our current height, unless it is now significantly above or below us as well.
> Well, if it's trying to circle, it'll eventually head behind us.> Take a hand off the trident temporarily shoot some more talismans into the air above us (avoiding damaging the umbrella in the process). If they're brightly colored, all the better.> Start flying away from it so that hopefully we'll intercept its path back behind us. Keep a watch behind us to see how it reacts.
> Put the trident away.> This thing has eventually got to do something other than circle us, especially if it's slowing down. Give it a minute or so to appreciably change its circling pattern.
