Oh. That attempt was in vain. "No? Then please forgive me shall I have put you on edge. How about something different then... Would you enjoy a life where you can do what you like, including as much rest as a statue that you desire for, while I would protect you from any harm and simply...care for you? Grooming your fur, providing food and the like, which will grant you more free time. I'm enjoying your simple presence, lil' one.... Don't you? That, and your beautiful as a statue alone."
Luxi bows its head at the compliment, but it doesn't seem like this little Pokemon has any fear! Its statue form protects it from most harm.

The Pokemon seems to have satisfied its curiosity with you, and it's starting to retreat along the wall.
Some more notes, and then the journal is put away.
"Thank you for your time, Unown. It's been very Insightful. Kirlia and I wish you well as you go on your way."
Oo, a real Dragon Scale. It sniffs the Scale, nibbles it, and eventually tucks it away where its tail meets its haunch. It seems happier with that than with the orchid.
Shiva just watches the smol dragon enjoying the Scale, and ends up being mildly suprised as it even claims it for itself like nothing. But the small smile the Pokemon gifted her in return almost instantly made up for that! "Aww, you like it? That's geat to see! ...It's mine though, haha! But...you see, there we have an example of the benefits you'd get if you'd come with me, giving me a chance to show you more magnificient things. You can even keep that Scale if you'll come traveling with me. It seems ideal for a cute Pokemon like you. I'm also having more interested things that you...hopefully may enjoy!"
"Maybe it does also help you to know that I've been rather similar like you at first? Fine with my life, enjoying things as they were. But journeying made me realize that while home is precious, I'd miss out on a lot of things if I'd just stay there. Things that I could only realize by this traveling. I've grown and developed in ways I could have not expected... And....as said, I'm sensing potental in you. Power... dormant strength... Don't dragons enjoy developing their strength further? Lil' one, won't you at least consider my offer? Pleeeeease."
With a fond smile, Shiva also very carefully reaches out with her hand, offering it to this unknown Pokemon to sniff at.

Mechanics:
This will hopefully bring an Acquirering Roll? I'm having some more thoughts and offers to Luxi shall it now work. No giving up....yet.
Luxi sniffs your hand and nibbles it. Your words seem to be getting through, lets see if it's enough.
Empathy: (1)(1)(6)(3)(5)(4)(2)
Will: (5)(1)(5)(5)(6)(4)
Luxi shakes its head. BUT it's acting awfully possessive over that Dragon Scale.

Nathan shrugs.  "You can also basically think of it as Valentine's Day, but for Trainers and their pokemon instead of romantic couples.  The idea is basically the same.  Kirlia and I actually got a spectacular gift yesterday, so I think the two of us are covered even though I wasn't planning anything in particular for us two.  Need to think of some stuff for some of my other pokemon, though..."
*Flashback, Minor Edition!*
Ventus couldn't help but close his eyes let out a fond chuckle as the boy revealed
that Ritual was a part of today's celebration, with Lucifer (who was all snuggled up in Ven's sweater atm)Â letting out small shriek of realization himself, before they let out a happy croon and looked up fondly/meaningfully at his brother in all but blood.
"Oh now? Well, I guess I don't have to worry about that after all. Its certainly odd to me that their is a platonic analogue to Valentine's Day here in Cheshire, but I suppose that makes it all the more amazing for me to learn of it! I'm curious to know what sort of gift you shared with Kirlia, though, as I vaguely remember the two of you seemed to be in especially good spirits last night after I woke up from my nap. As for gifts for your other Pokémon, spending quality time with them should more than suffice, and their is nothing wrong with give them belated gifts should you be unable to give them the care you think they deserve this day."
Flashback End!*
