He seems to be rather excited.
...he's still a little startled when Shiva approaches, since he's so engrossed in the quick chat with Valder.
"Wah! Oh...uh...Shiva...how long have you been standing there?"
"Just a few moments, actually." Though she clearly has caught up a few scraps of the conversation between the young historian and the mercenary, but given she's a respectful person that doesn't pry unless it's crucial, she does not comment on anything. However, she's silently making her own thoughts and connects the hinting of a...trip of these two to what they had to discuss yesterday.
"Doesn't matter though.... I just wanted to say 'good morning', actually. Eh... well then, I need to....get going then.... I guess...."
There was somethingelse that was lingering in her mind, something that had more personal importance right now. True, she kept small Magnemite at her person for that reason, otherwise she'd take Nightshade instead.
Looking around, she eventually spotted who she was looking for: Heart! How neat, he was there at a different table, so she came up to him, Lilith (hopefully) following her now.
"Good morning to you as well, Heart... You've already returned from the Shelter? ....You have? Neat. Uhm.... There...is something I wanted to ask you, could you....do me a favour during our way through Mount Sentry, maybe? Please? I'd like to... visit the spot you were training your Tynamo at - that Magnetic Field. The Eggs Dagny has gifted me and Ven have hatched, revealing two Magnemite... They EVOLVE by being in a strong magnetic field."
Heart's approach startles Nathan a little too, but he doesn't comment this time...well, everyone seems to be jumping him right now...
...which is kinda why he was talking with Valder in the first place...*sigh*...
"...well, I just need to pick up a few things before heading out. Shouldn't take long. I know what I need to grab. Just...needed Valder to accompany me...for most of the day...heh...heh heh..."
...and there's the nervous laughter to accompany the strange comment. Not that Nathan's trying to hide anything in particular...but he's been REALLY caught off guard, so...

"Yeah, I return from the Shellter. Its doesnt much time to deal with things there." Heart smile about remember how much Caesar look happy about return this morning. Heart listen to Shiva favor and he nod his head in agreement. "Sure! There is no problem at all. I can guide though the Mt. Sentry to place where I train with Typhon. Thats the name I give to Tynamo heh. In fact I was planing to do a quick training there before head to Cress City. The presence of three eletric pokemon might help Manemites to evolves and perhaps help a bit Typhon in his energy production. Also congratulation for you two about hatching the eggs! If Magnemite would talk problably they first word would be "Mama Shiva!". Mine still not hatch sure but I need some space in my party just in case. You never know when you might need some help."

Their sudden nervousness and odd behavior yet again drew the empath attention squarely on them, and their comment about requiring his mercenary for almost all of today more than earned them an investigative look and a raised eyebrow.
".....If you require Valder's services for the day, I would like to know what it is your are hoping to accomplish with him first, since as you well know he has an obligation to uphold my interests first and foremost as my hired mercenary, Nathan."

Hearing the boy's response, Ventus mulled it over for a bit.....before nodding his head with an air of contentment/non judgmentalness.
"Very well. Just make sure to compensate him duly for the security he'll provide, and alert the rest of the group should trouble rear its head towards you two, alright?"
He then went silent, and waited for everyone else to get ready and leave for Cress.
(Is everyone else ready to head towards Mt. Sentry? 'Cause I sure am!)

Awww, that smile from Heart's side probably meant that the training within the Shelter was....fruitful - how nice and relieving to hear. A positive sensation and opening, Caesar won't do anything, this is NOT like back then, she's safe, she has Psychic Types with her just in case... It'll be fine. It'll be fine, indeed, no need to worry...
"T...Thank you! I'd be happy to join you in that Training of Typhon if you're indeed alright with it. Such a cool name for the small electric eel!" Â The comment on him calling her a....mother almost caused her become a blushing mess, but she did a fine job to prevent this from happening. Not now.... Hehe, it was sweet by him, indeed.
"Oh, your Egg has not hatched yet? What was it again, a Beldum, right? I could....hold it for you.... They don't take any Slots in my party due to having a Breeder's Lisence. But not now maybe, an Egg can safely remain at the PC for quite a while without any negative effect... We should get going then."

Heart think for a second about the helping with the hatching offer then he balance his head. "To be honest I would like to hatch the egg myself. Its not like I dubious in your ability as a breeder Shiva its just...You, Ventus and Nathan hachted your first eggs I notices you became a little more...happier in lack of better words. I would like to try feel that same feeling. To hatch your egg of pokemon and to that pokemon see you as the first face when born in this world...to be honest it looks like something...magical to be magical or divine. I would like to see and feel that myself. I cant explain in words but...I feel this is something I should. At least this is something what my soul say."
Heart blush a little after that last part. "Haha sorry. I think you are already tired in heard me say that words again and again. Its kinda of a Mantra to me, almost like a philosofy of life to me. But I might need your help in the future perhaps about how to hatch this egg. But for now, I would like to keep for myself. But thanks again for the offer of help Shiva. You are a great friend." Than smile then show a positive finger.
Gotta do some prep work first!
Nathan swaps some pokemon around in his PC.
- Ralts stays (this goes without saying, obviously), Ditto stays, Solomon stays, Swiftfire stays...
- but Grid and Calam are swapped for Yule and Starmie (he makes sure to briefly grab Forthright though to explain that she'll be in the PC for a liiiittttllle longer. Nathan doesn't want to take her into a proper cave quite yet.Â
He also grabs Pulse reeeeaaalll quickly to check if those Casteliacones are still there.)
Then, Nathan goes and purchases...
- 2 Paralyz Heals ($400Â about time he finally got some more!)
- some pencils and pens
- some paper for writing
- some paper and 'writing' materials for rubbings (to make quick copies of cave etchings should he encounter any)
- a book light he can use to light up his journal or papers or whatever
- a flashlight or headlamp of some kind (Illuminate is good and all, but Nathan only wants to use it if he needs to light up a reeeaaallly large area)
- some material he can use to waterproof his journal and keep it from getting damp
- restocking the cheap foods
- 3 gourmet food ($150. Just in case)
- a duster
- some other miscellaneous supplies that have to do with various cave things. This is just some of the stuff I could think of off the top of my head
Nathan and Valder meet everyone else on the path to Mt. Sentry. The shopping took just a tad longer than expected since Nathan had such a looonnnnggg shopping list...
"Okay, ready to head on a cave exploration adventure! Ooh, this is so EXCITING!"
Ralts looks about ready to explode with excitement
And I also already know what Nathan and Valders' first stop is in Mt. Sentry, whether the rest of the group is headed that way or not!Â
That depiction of Landorus and the various other Legends and pokemon! Nathan's heard about it, but he's incredibly excited to finally see it in person!
Mt. Sentry:Â Xenoblade Chronicles - Tephra Cave
Shiva does very much understand how SWEET AND JOYFUL the moment a Pokemon Egg finally hatches after all the time carrying it around or keeping it under a heatlamp in a hatchery, so she's totally fine to let him carry his Egg on his own. ""Almost magical, indeed... You never know whether faith has not decided to gift you a shiny or a smilar suprise until it finally hatched, for example."
Him calling her a 'great friend' caused her to coyly return the smile and playfully hit his right shoulder with her fist.
