'Oh dear, it appears I have prodded sore wounds yet again. Today does not hold the most favorable interaction for me...' Ventus thought, sweating a bit at Vincent's sudden discontent. He was about to speak up about it, asking what was wrong, before stopping himself. Closing his eyes and sighing, he nodded at Vincent "Sorry about that. It won't happen again, I assure you," he said, holding his hand in front on himself. He promised he would maintain some distance from distance, and if he were not to honor his promise, well, what kind of friend would he be?

He looked to the ground for a moment, his smile turning bittersweet. "We all have our demons; Its not my place to exorcise them," he whispered under his breath, regrets briefly clouding his mind, before he shook his head and happily smiled once more. Adressing both Vincent and Nathan, he said "Well, I can't argue with waiting a little longer for the rain to stop. I personally don't want to harry the nurse, since I know already know the basic of trainer battles, but if you insist, I can watch Nathan and Shiva battle it out with her. As my old professor said, 'Always take the opportunity to review what you know, so that you know what to do!' "

When he was about to speak with Vincent again about capturing more Pokemon, though, he heard Shiva's outburst and saw her storm of towards the Pokémon Center. Eyebrows raised in alarm, he turned towards the others and bowed to them. "I'm sorry that I can't stick around to discuss our plans some more, but I want to follow after Shiva to make sure she's fine. I'm sure she's just angry over being treated sub rate, but I feel that a comforting shoulder might ease her tensions more than letting her fume about it," Ven said, before following after Shiva. Today sure is ripe for conflict, innit?
