Nathan's...not quite sure what to say about that...
Noticing Kirlia's worried attention on Ventus, Raphael glided over to land by their side and turned to gave them a reassuring chirp + smile. They were ready to put the brakes on any......adverse reaction their master may or may not have and calm them down, so no need to fret! Well....maybe a little bit, but a burden shared a burden halved, right? Apsis, who had until now been keeping to herself, decided to give Nathan a sullen look at them being so pessimistic/down, still not quite happy with them despite her master dressing her down for her aggressive/spiteful behavior. Eventually, however, she let out a hissing *Sssssigh* at how both her master and the boy were acting, before lightly nosing them to get their attention, and then looking over at their master. Perhaps the both men could keep themselves tied up so that the chance of them doing something stupid/dwelling on stupid things is truly minimized, *Hisss?*

Kirlia still casts worried glances at Ventus. That hadn't stopped him before...
Well, Nathan doesn't plan to do anything stupid, really...if this man is who Nathan thinks he is...the last thing he would want to do is get on his bad side...best try to focus on something else right now...
"...thank you for helping Kirlia, Aspis..."
Maybe this time, she'll accept the meat Nathan's offering her. That oughta get Ventus's attention...even if it is completely unintentionally since Nathan's not quite sure what Aspis is trying to tell him and Kirlia's too preoccupied to help Nathan with that...
Nathan's also still holding Orthros to keep warm, but there definitely shouldn't be any problems with that since he's KOed, right? Nathan's holding him reeeaaallly close, though...
It's been a couple days since Apsis has eaten, IIRC, and she doesn't feel threatened by Nathan right now. She'd probably eat, but she wouldn't really mean anything by it.

The archangel, in linue of trying to assunge them of their doubts and fears vocally, decided to wrap a wing around them in a comforting, reassuring hug. Sometimes, when words/chirps fail to help make others feel better, some physical affection is needed instead!
Apsis lets out a huff when the boy off thanks her for doing such a simples task, but none of the less nodded her head and didn't react in any overly negative way. Progress! When he offered a meaty treat to accompany his words, the regal snake gave him a long, appraising look, flicking her flicking her forked while staaaaring him straight in the eyes.....before reaching forward to pluck it from their hand and cawing down. Nathan was not asking her to do anything that goes against her nature/rearing, and she appreciated the offer of food even if she didn't think particularly highly of the boy, so down the hatch it goes, *Gulp!* As for Orthros, she had decided that since they were currently Fainted and was tied to the boy, they didn't pose a threat to her or their master, so after giving it one withering look for good measure decided to ignore them for the time being.
Just as Nathan hoped Ventus DID notice this change of behavior/feeling in his beloved giant snake, and turned to see the young trainer giving them a treat. Despite his current anxiety/stress /focus/feeling towards Nathan, the empath couldn't help but raised an eyebrow and give them a curious look, as the last time he checked they didn't exactly care for his choice in Poisonous reptiles.... Hmm....

Nathan's completely oblivious to that. Next, he holds up a hand (cradling Orthros with one arm now, still trying to keep him as close as possible), as if he was going to give Aspis a good stroke/scratch, but he doesn't actually touch her yet. He's also looking directly at Aspis's eyes as he voices his question to her...
"...may I? I know I've said some harsh things before, but...I do want to properly thank you for your help...food only goes so far..."
Nathan's keeping his voice low, both out of a (lessened) lack of self confidence and so as not to disturb those around the old man and the old man himself. Ventus would have a difficult time hearing it.
He's kinda hoping Aspis lets him touch her, help her relax a little. He...has to prove something to himself...
Kirlia's now anxiously watching Nathan and Aspis instead of Ventus...hmmm...
Viktor who was out of the Pokeball look to Heart with a see almost saying: "Talk with him". Heart feel a bit heavy mind and decided to talk a bit with Nathan. "Hey Nathan...sorry about what I have say before. I was scare about the ambush and pressure about the we have to save everyone...It was not cool to yell and say like to you. So...sorry." Heart still mad but at he dont want to the group feel separated since they have a mission. "But that doesn't change my opinion. Lets...focus in our mission okay? We need to separated our personal issues to the mission. Its not only you who is in the edge. Shiva, Ventus, Valder and me is in the same boat. Dont forget that. I dont blame you to feel like you do, but promise me: At least try to be a little strong. For everyone. Okay?" Viktor then to try make Nathan a little better, he hug both Nathan and Kirlia, trying to make them feel better.

*This Scene happened before Heart Went Over*
If the colossal python had eyebrows, they would certainly be raised as she watched Nathan and outstretch hand, and listened to his hesitant words. Oh? So Nathan wants to lay hands on her now, after he repeatidly offended her and master so? After all the heartache her master suffer because of his stubborn, bullheadness? That look in his eyes.....the boy's trying to prove something too, is he now? *Hiiiissss.....*
Well, if Nathan wanted her approval, the opportunity to achieve some nebulous, personal goal, then he could have it.....
Apsis pinned the boy with a stare, before they slowly, carefully (and non threatenly) opened their maw, revealing her two long, glistering fangs . She then gave the boy a knowing Look laddened with meaning, and flicked her tongue over one of them.
The message was clear: if the boy want to touch her, then the first place he'd have to start is with her nice, occasionally deadly fangs. The question now is, would he? For creatures with eyebrows, both of Ventus were both raised up to his hairline, and he tensed, ready to intervene if necessary. This.....was something he didn't expect out of his regal, beautiful monster of a snake....
Through all this, the old man continues to work and make ridiculous noises, as if oblivious.

Nathan's scared of a lot of things right now. Always been nervous and skittish about others.
Poison's always been one of those many things.
He...he didn't want to be scared of Aspis, though...
...so despite how much his hand is nervously shaking, he touches one of Aspis's fangs, his eyes closed as he does so...
...it sends a VERY cold shiver down both his spine and Kirlia's that not even being engulfed in flame could stave off...brrrrrr...Nathan almost drops Orthros...
Kirlia's tense now too. If Aspis tried anything that might physically harm Nathan, he was going to give the snake a (hypnotic) stare of his own to try and get the snake to stop/relax...

.......Shiva gave her travel companions a look that said something like 'What in Reshiram's holy name are you people actually doing there the whole time?!', before concentrating back to the work of that eremit. She wasn't very afraid, and less paranoid than Ventus.
Eventually, she spoke up. "Ehm... Do forgive me the question, the one capable of forming clay without hands, but what exactly will becone of that clay when it's finished?"
