[Blue holds his hands out defensively to stop Aerith in her tracks, as little good as that's going to do. His own eyes are hard and mistrustful, like he has indeed already been through a lot here.... Not all the 'people' in this place were real, and the Ghosts- or whatever they were- definitely didn't seem to just be wild Pokémon, either.]
[What they were... Well, Blue had no idea, and he didn't plan to stick around and find out.]
[A second later, there's the galloping padding of something approaching from behind him, and a huge dog-like creature emerges out of the gloom, flames huffing from its nose. It's not initially clear if it's with Blue or not... but it makes its presence known right away- with a sharp, Roar-like bark in Aerith's direction and a warning growl.]
