[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

First at all, Poffineering!


'Quite enjoyable', he asked... OF COURSE IT WAS! Literally a blast, and overall enjoyable. Her Pokemon will surely rejoice as well!

"Sure it was! Thanks for...taking the time! Especially since...it's dark outside meanwhile... But I surely appreciate it!" ... A little hesitant, yet kind and gentle, he was also getting a hug on top of these words. Be glad, it's an honest one, Shiva normally isn't a person to initiate affection.

"Nine poffins overall you say... Three containing Ranc Berries. You're...eh, fine if I'll take them? You see, especially bought them for my own Pokemon, and paid good money for them." ... "In fact, that will leave four for each of us! And one to try and share right away. After all before our Pokemon can have them, we should check how they turned out, shouldn't we?"

Oh, of course she did not notice that he snatched that knife.

Next up, meeting up.



Shiva was just about to object... But... weirdly, she did not feel like he wasn't taking her for serious as he said he'd rather not have her handle any vile Fairies. It was rather...like he does, more than ever, and is just wishing for her well-being. Similiar like at the incident with the Deyo Flowers. 'Not wanting another person he cares about being taken away' surely played a big role here.

"A...Alright then. But... Please let me stay then. Let me see what you know about them, and how to handle them. I won't bring myself into danger, but I won't leave the scenery either." This was more of a fact than an actual wish. She'll keep that in mind, and will stay adamant about it.

She also just led the silence linger, while he was taking his time to response on her concern. Oh, she was used to silence. There were all different types of silence... This one was the meaningful type. A neutral one, neither good or bad, the outcome is yet to be determined.

And, she did not comment on his 'educated guesses'. Not a single bit. In fact, she carefully avoided showing anything that might be a hint on what was right and what was false.

Maybe...she was taking too hard on him. Maybe, by this resigned look he gave her upon saying he'll only worry more, she was walking a wrong path and she should have not told him a thing. But...now was not the time to be unsure about the path choosen. This one was better, if Ventus does care for her, he shall not be suspicious towards her. Worried may be not much better, but on a second glance, it is. Suspiciousness is like a toxic to trust. Worry, can be, but must not.

"... I agree on your offer. Thank you." Yes, this was practically all she could bring up about his offer. Neutral emotions behind the words. This way, she will be safe. This way, he will not be suspicious. This way, she doen not have to reveal anything before time arises to do so.




Next up... Last concern. Then he'll be free. Her mood, as well as the atmpshere in the room eased a little. Just...a little though.

„I... mentioned that there's a vital sign from Vincent, did I? Yes, I did, and there indeed is. You...maybe remember that black-spotted egg Professor Mallorn handed him back there in Trillium, do you? Well... exactly this egg is what I've been presented at the Daycare as the owners were showing me their in-house hatchery. They said that he has send it to them... And he had written on the shell that whatever hatches from it, it shall be sown to someone at the Telperion University in Botanville. For now, I am taking care of the egg. I cannot show it to you at the moment though, since it is at the Daycare until we leave town. Nathan...has already...seen it, however...“

At this point, an unbelievable amount of sorrow floads Shiva's emotional state. It was just... too much. It was enough. The burden of the situation and the spats with Nathan were too much of a load for her. You thought she wouldn't care, she would just move on and wait for the issue with her overreaction and scaring Nathan accidently off to fade into memory? She thought so, too. Until the secret mission with The Almanac came into play and the fact that he was practically avoiding her by heading off to the Gym right away at the next morning, arised a need to get along with him again, and clear the matters up between them.


(Of course Ventus will pick this up and ask what is wrong. Therefor, let me explain right away.)


„It's... just wrong. You see, I've been telling him about the votal sign from Vincent as well, practically yesterday evening. He...was quite glad about it. However, I could not help but to pick up he showed some sort of...interest in this particular egg.“ Or maybe she was just assuming he did? Not...sure what particular emotion she was getting from his side... "OF COURSE that caused me to overreact somehow, I probably was stressing too much on the fact that I wished to keep it for myself, regardless of he has a Fire Type and I do not. See, I need the practical experience. He doesn't especially."

Maybe this was the old spat between two counterparting personalities: One, a firence determined battler, impulsive on actions and emotions, not afraid of danger to protect what he holds dear. One, a calm thoughtful soul who prefered to stay in the background to keep things running the way they should.
