[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Well, I liked your compromise, but it seemed to have quite the opposite effect on Ventus. Instead of going out to rescue Shiva, he now seems rather content to mind his own business around the van. Nathan argument and offer must have shook him up good if it stopped him from going after Shiva...

And Nathan argues that it can be worried about later.  If Ventus can't pull himself together after this, well...then Nathan is really going to think less of him.  Reliability in a crisis is something Nathan values a lot right now due to the situation, and will likely value in the future.  Nathan's gonna try his best to talk Ventus out of it, but he'll go himself if Ventus can't pull himself together.  And that means less light around the RV if there's only one pokemon there rather than two illuminating it.
