Correct. Her ancestor once had statues and other iconography made. I have a bangle with her image upon it...

[Though he hasn't been wearing it recently.]

The other Pokemon in the area also treated her with relative deference. Humans praised her for her services in transporting them across the mountains.

[retroductions]

I hadn't realized her importance. Your possession is quite impressive, Mr Ingo. In that case, yes... I can see why she would view this prison as a, ah, "step down" in comparison. And be frustrated for it.

[derailer]

Yes... And, she does not even have a body of her own to make use of. Even beyond the fact that people are not acknowledging her with as much deference as she would like, they are barely acknowledging her at all.

[Now he feels like a bad cat mom...!!]

[retroductions]

[Another long "hmmm".]

Is there anything I can do? A way to show this deference when she does make an appearance?

[derailer]

Hmm...

[There is a pause where he seems to be internally working something out. But he can only communicate with her in feelings, and not words, so in the end he kind of has to guess on his own anyway.]

I think your eagerness ought to be enough to make her feel better. But I am sure offerings would also be appreciated.

[retroductions]

[As Ingo probably knows, Sholmes can be very, very eager. He's already smiling wide at the idea of "offerings".]

What sort of offerings would Lady Sneasler appreciate?

[derailer]

Food is a safe choice. While I am sure she would also enjoy valuables, I am not sure I feel comfortable accepting them... If it is a heartfelt gift, and not just a way to appease her, I would not turn it away. But I will not let her desire for offerings extort anyone out of any of their regular requests.

[retroductions]

Of course, of course. A heartfelt offering of food, then! I do wish for her to feel more appreciated in this place; and in turn, making life a bit easier on yourself as well, Mr Ingo.

Now, I need only decide on what to offer... Sweets, perhaps.

[derailer]

She does not have as much of a sweet tooth as Haxorus does, but I do not think she dislikes it. In her native Hisui, she enjoyed mushrooms, beans, and grains!

[retroductions]

Oh, I see. [Sholmes, whose ability to cook anything truly edible often relies on the help of others, will have to give this some thought.] I am sure there's a recipe that requires the use of all three of what you've listed. This calls for a bit of experimentation in the kitchen, I think.

[derailer]

Ohh... Please do not feel obligated! But I would be interested to hear about it, if you do know such a dish.

[retroductions]

I will consult with Mr Inui. He is the cook in our dorm, you know. I am sure he must know something suitable.

[derailer]

I am trying to learn how to cook, when I have the time, so that would be a good recipe to target next, whatever it is!

[retroductions]

Oh, in that case, I will make double the effort!

Have you taught yourself how to prepare any dishes thus far?

[derailer]

I know a few things from Hisui. And I have learned how to prepare hamburgers!

[retroductions]

Oh, a hamburger! I've heard rumblings about this dish before. Ground beef placed between two bread rolls, is that not right?

[derailer]

There are also other ingredients such as vegetables and condiments! But that is the basic idea! Supposedly, it is a dish from my region of origin!

[retroductions]

Then how about this, Mr Ingo... we exchange recipes, once I have found a suitable one on my end!

[god no, please don't let this man grill a hamburger one day]

[derailer]

Absolutely! Without hesitation, I will assist you with this!

[SORRY CAN'T BE TRUSTED WITH THAT KIND OF RESPONSIBILITY]
