As it turns out, the ghosts don't seem to have any scruples about where their fruit comes from - an orange is an orange to them. Their spear-wielding friend is no different. It turns fully to face Codi, sluggish from Juhani's Force restraints, and the weapon in its hand jerks in the effort to lift it.
Codi staggers to a stop, shoulders heaving with each sucking gasp. She already knows that she can't just throw the orange at this thing and call it a day; the ghosts have to be negotiated with. At least that's something she's good at. All she has to do is rein in her temper, just for a few minutes.
"...Okay!" Codi holds up a hand in surrender while the other, gripping the orange, supports her against a nearby tree. "You got me! I trespassed on your land without the right payment, I understand that this has offended you. A warrior such as yourself deserves more respect."
She passes the orange to her outstretched hand, then jerks her head at Juhani.
"My companion is a warrior like yourself," Codi continues. "She fights to protect others, just like you fought to protect your friends - your family. We're part of that family now. Juhani, please let them go."
