Nathan can't even look Heart straight in the eyes right now. He's instead choosing to focus on the Mega Stone Sensor as it flashes purple, leading the way to the Mega Stones Shiva left behind.
That doesn't mean Nathan won't engage in conversation, though.
"...and? These minarets are almost indestructible, Heart. Reaching the throne room was never going to be easy. The Sword is plenty powerful. Just not as strong as whatever the Last King used to construct the walls of his palace, nor as strong as most actual Legendaries."
Nathan stops and sighs, still looking at the ground and the rainbow colored artifact in his hand instead of Heart.
"...why is me wielding this Sword such a big deal, Heart? Seriously, why? We all agreed on who would wield it before we even attempted to pull it out. I said you'll be compensated for what you did. I just...can't help you find Sid. Not right now. He isn't even in Creshire any more.  We're friends, right? So why...?"
First Heart, now Shiva...why does trying to be friends with people have to be so hard sometimes? He hasn't even done anything wrong...at least, in Gallade's opinion.
Well, at least Gallade will always be someone Nathan can rely on...
-------------------------------
Just waiting on the start of the Lunapup encounter to be brought up before I get started on reacting to that.
Heart flames was now flickering more than ever. "...You really want to understand why? Alright. I tell you."
Heart then close to Nathan, way to much close and tell in his face. "Many reasons. But the main one is this: You. Dont. Deserve. That. Sword. I am more worth in wield that sword more than you. And you
know that. You never though the same hardships as me." Then Heart grab Nathan shirt for they look to each other faces more closely. "You never see your whole family perish before you eyes! To have live a entire life receive the beat up of a abusive father, and the only comfort you had was a mother and a little brother! Do you any idea the feeling of a child, see everyone that he ever knew, be burned alive?! To every night, remember the same smell of burning skin, and to be forced to relieve the same nightmare?! Over and over and over again?! HUH?! DO YOU?! And to see your own brother be burned alive in embrace and die together with your mother?! And thats make you more worth than me?!"
Heart then let it go Nathan shirt. "No....you never loose anything really precious in your life. Even your father who you think you would never see again is alive. My family not. I could have used that Sword to everything over find the culprit of my misery...but you...you betrayed that trust and grab the sword."
Heart flames spark more intense now. "I try to be cool and accept that decision...but...I cant. I cant accept you as my leader, and problably will never be. The only reason I help to get the sword, is because I know Terra. He would even willing to sacrifice himself for you to get the sword. And you would allow it. You...you are willing to sacrifice anyone of us for you to get what you want. You are capable of sacrifice your own friends just to get a stupid magic sword. You are acting just like Saminarok. The only opinion you really care is yours."
"....And you just confirm that when you refuse to help me find Sid later. It could a quick search to see where he go. But when you refuse that...you only betrayed even more the trust I had on you. Now...everytime I see you with that sword, all I can feel is jealouesly, hatred and the feeling of betrayed a friend that I trust a lot."
Heart then look in the ground. "That why I decided: If we didnt find any item who could make up (no artefact, but something who could be used as a held item), or something strong as the Everlink Armor and the Miracle Rood, I will leave the group, and go east, and find Sid myself. With or without. You guys will be alone to find Deoxys problably, but consideraly how I feel about you Nathan, I think this relantioship between us would only get worse and worse. I feel like...a volcano. Who could enter in eruption at any moment, and burn everything in my path. My fire powers drawn from my emotions, and right now my emotions is in havoc and almost unbearable when I near you."
"...Search for Sid also could help me cool down and get used the fact I would never wield the sword, or any artefact. That you used my trust, only to gain some sort of power to yourself...."
"....I was so much angered and hurt that I was even willing to leave your dad to his luck, and not do the ritual to bring back his humanity. I wanted you to suffer be felt betrayed like I was....but then I realize: Its not the right thing. Leave someone to his own luck...be stripped away of humanity...I felt shame of myself of even thinking that, and I decided to, at least, give your dad their freedom."
"....that doesnt mean I felt forgiven towards you. I still felt angered and betrayed by you. I though....I though we were actual friends."
A few tears were now rolling in Heart eyes, with a mixing feelings of betray, hatred and jealously. He is not proud of feel that way...but he is a person who is honest with emotions. "Since I receive my Fire Blessing, my emotions get more...alive. Day after day. Anger. Courage. Sadness. Hatred. All my emotions was almost...maximized, and become some sort of fuel of my power. And the learn of Earthpower help to growth that."
"....I just hope loosing a friend was enough worth for you to get that stupid sword. And betray my trust too." Heart didnt say anything more, and go in the direction of the Mega Stones. "...Mega Stones by nature, is the crystalized power of pokemon. Theyre souls energies in solid form. In other words, Mega Stones is basically the crystalized physical form of Earthpower. Maybe I could touch the stones, and see what kind of Mega Stones they really are. Or at least try..."
, Insight+Knowledge+Earthpower to try to conect with the Mega Stones and if Heart can identify what kind of stones they belong to. I will increase Earthpower from 5 to 6 using 30 XP. Heart basically dice is now Insight(3)+Knowledge(3)+Earthpower(6) = 12D6.
