"Shiva was with me berry hunting earlier, when we spotted a Murkrow in the branches. She bolted right after it as saw it, looking quite irate while she was chasing it. That was the last I heard of her," Ventus replied, slowly but surely becoming dismayed as he just realized what he said. Putting both hand over his face, he letting out what sound to be a cross between a sigh and Growl, before looking back to Nathan.  

"...And now Ralts is panicking over our lost companion. Fuck, fuck, FUCK. Why didn't I catch on to the fact that she was going after a Murkrow ALONE? A species of Pokemon known for leading people astray to unfortunate fates?!" Ventus suddenly shouted, very quickly losing his calm demeanor. He began to pull on his hair while shaking his head, pacing back and forth as he worried aloud.

"Why do bad things keep happening to our group today, Nathan? First Vincent gets lost hunting down a Voltorb, then the whole group get stuck in the middle of the swamp because of a Weezing. Said gas bag promptly exploded, seriously injuring Shiva's Plusle, putting it into a Critical state until I could treat it. Larry's practically disabled until he gets all the toxins out of his system, and now Shiva's ran off after some crow in anger. @#$%^&!" Ventus ranted, extremely angry over the cavalcade of misfortune that everyone was suffering at the moment. While it was clear he still had enough self control not to run off after her, or lash out at anyone else in sheer frustration, Ventus was NOT a happy camper at the moment. No sir ree!

"Ventus.  CALM DOWN.  That kind of behavior is not going to get us anywhere."  Nathan's doing his staring thing again.  "Let's focus on getting the RV out of the muck, and then we can look for Shiva.  I'm sure Ralts can help us find her if she's lost.  And she has Minun and Cottonee with her.  I'm sure she'll be fine against a Murkrow.  Let's tackle this one problem at a time."
