[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

At the pokemon center, Nathan's trying to make sure Shiva's okay.  Plusle's brush with death had been a close call, and it had definitely frightened her.  She hadn't said much of anything since they had left the swamp.  When Nurse Joy had asked why Plusle and Miltank were both fainted, it was a simple truth of 'a weezing self destructed.'  The metal man never comes up because he had nothing to do with that as far as everyone knows (and it's unlikely anyone would believe them if they said something about him anyways).

"Shiva, Plusle is fine.  I stopped the wounds from getting worse ages ago, and nothing got a chance to attack him while he was out.  He'll pull through.  The little guy is a strong one, I'll give him that."  Ralts is close by, also trying to comfort Shiva, in his own way.  Pokemon hugs are great, right?

Finally....

We're safe... Are we?


For the time between the Wizard has appearantly escaped and the arrival at Ginger Twon - she wouldn't even notice if Ventus wouldn't nudge and tell her - Shiva was lost in thought. Not 'catatonic', but she seemed rather unapproachable. Just staying here with Plusle and Miltank... Things will be fine...

She didn't even notice much of the Festival. Well, she did saw that some sort of festivities were ongoing, she remembered that she definitelly wanted to give it a visit... But not now. Her Pokemon need her... They need...Medical Care...

Once all of mentioned Pokemon - Plusle, Minun, Miltank and any other of the party's Pokemon that suffered damage - were handed over to Nurse Joy and therefore in safe and professional hands AND a safe place to stay the nights was settled up (Thanks to Iron for solving my concern about the Center having no free rooms because of the ongoing Festival!), Shiva was finally ready to calm down a little. They're in good hands... Everything will be fine... Cottonee stays by her side. She didn't suffer any damage, and after what has happened because Nathan and Ventus left without a Pokemon on hand, she felt way better to keep the fluffball with her.

There she was now, at a table in the Lounge Area, with Nathan. That brings back memories...With Cottonee in her lap and Ralts cuddling up to her (Pokemon hugs <3), she was starting to feel a little more free. She faced Nathan. Upon doing so, she realiced that strange guy that was beside her as she handed over Plusle was still there...

"We... made it out of the swamp, didn't we...?" Her voice was still a little low, but clearly expressing that she was a little better. 


(You wanted a conversation with her? Now is the perfect time. She will have one or two concers towards Nathan as well. )

"Yup.  We're out.  Like I said, Plusle will be fine now.  We'll all be doing better, I'm sure.  No danger, no reasons to be angry with each other, there's a festival going on out there, we can start doing what we came here to do..."  Nathan just goes silent for a moment, waiting for Shiva's reaction.  He's not entirely sure where he's going with this yet. And the cloaked man is still over at the other table as well. Hmmm...
