Rowan is very polite and very attentive. He looks away from setting up the tea kettle so he can watch Red speak, Green notes. Lucas is good at remaining focused on what he had already been doing, but his head is tilted their way, curious.
When Red's hands still Green opens his mouth, but Rowan speaks.
"The Griseous Orb," Rowan echoes. Green blinks. Oh, so he understands? Well, that's... good. It'll make this conversation go by a lot smoother and a lot faster. "Hmm...! The Black Fog, too? Yes, I know it."
"You know it?" Green sounds as baffled as he looks.
"I was in Kanto in 2007 studying the Pokédex systems with your grandfather, the same time as the incident was occurring. Yukinari disappeared. I remained in Pallet."
Yeah, Green remembers his grandfather seemingly vanishing without a trace. Daisy had been freaking out, calling him constantly to make sure he was safe, to ask him if he'd seen Ohkido anywhere. At the time, Green had mostly just been annoyed rather than concerned.
Rowan turns again and reaches into the little fridge. Three Rage Candy Bars are produced, and he places them on the kotatsu. "...Well, that is all I know, which is to say: not much at all. Was it not defeated?"
Green makes a face, glancing back at Red. He reaches over to take one of the candy bars and work on unwrapping it.
"Apparently not," Green mutters.
"I see." Rowan looks contemplative. He pauses to turn the stove on an then walks over, lowering himself down at the kotatsu as well. "Then the Black Fog and your search for the Griseous Orb are connected? I must say, I'm surprised you came to me."
"Your name was in a book I found. The Journal to Sinnoh Folklore. It mentions the Griseous Orb. Plus, y'know, bein' the professor... figured you'd know something."
"Yes. I remember that one." Rowan hums. He looks at Red again. "How did you come to hear of the orb?"
