"Oh, this is my brat Thomas." She explained with a sigh filled with a mixture of fond irritation. "He thinks he'll burn out if not given enough attention." She smiled a little.  "Sometimes I put him on a path-side and walk away.  Drives him mad!"  She gentley ruffled the comb at the top of the torchic's head.  "But back to the ghostly presence. There is a guy with our group that has a... puckish ghastly.  I'm not sure if you were in the crowd at the time, but it managed to escape him and pull faces behind Rolf while he was speaking.  Absolutely hilarious, that was."  her laugh was a very low cackle, almost comparable to a ghost in itself.  "But I do agree, it shouldn't be allowed to disturb the rite of the Clefairies."<br/><br/>She looked behind to see if there were anyone paying attention.  Everyone appeared to be busy making notes and adjusting equipment.  Spectra leaned in close and whispered.  "Neither should these people.  I don't gey why they're trying to use sience in a matter that's wholey spiritual.  It's just an added stress the ritual doesn't need."  She stood straight again, still keeping her voice rather low.  "And for the record, I don't think anyone should be able to "claim" a natural structure, so as far as I'm concerned, you can't be tresspassing."<br/><br/>With all the whispering, Thomas had yawned and settled back into a light sleep with his head against Spectra's chest.  Flickers of shimmering gold were visable for a few moments before Ginger came to almost rest on Spectra's shoulder.  She looked disaprovingly at Maggie, and cast her gaze up to where Dream was skulking.  She chattered a little in a kind of chastizing "You shouldn't be talking to them!" manner.  It was true, she did look a little worse for wear and she probably needed a break after being beaten like that.  But she had done exactly as Spectra asked: she hadn't been aggressive.<br/><br/>"Ginger, it was a mistake. She assumed you were another ghost entirely." The misdreavus tilted her face up in the opposite direction, clearly stating she didn't believe a word.
