Francis' face lit up along with the "Yes" light, seeing the spirit so apparently happy. Once again, he let Ripley handle the parental situation. He might be able to strategize when it came to ghosts and technology, but she was the expert when it came to anything more grounded in reality.
"Absolutely." he said, giving Brodi a reassuring smile. "We've encountered entities that are downright malicious." Like the last one. "This isn't one of them." He snapped his fingers, trying to remember something. "Offerings, a space of its own, I read something about this... what was it?"
You could almost see the light bulb turn on above his head as he realized. "It's a boggart! I read about them when I was researching spirits that can shapeshift! They like honey and milk left out in saucers! I also read that kindness is the best way to calm them down!" He placed his fist against his chest in a confident pose. "Brodi, I guarantee that this plan will work. I will stake my reputation on it. From what I read, this spirit may even become helpful after you make peace with it."

"I don't care about whether or not it's helpful as long as it stops trying to freak us out all the time," Brodi admitted, looking for a moment like he couldn't believe they'd gotten to this point.
Ripley looked at Francis. "Are we coming back with a bunch of cat toys, then?"
Before Francis could reply to Ripley, Brodi walked forward and scooped Francis up in a hug. "Thank you! You've fixed it! Just like you said you would!" He bounced a little in delight and then reached out one arm to pull Livia, Ripley, and Visia into the group hug. "You guys are the best!" He was almost crying.
Ripley tried to escape the hug, but ended up squished next to Francis. She rolled her eyes and awkwardly patted Brodi's shoulder. "There there."
