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

[Lord Windos]

Oh... did I accidently hurt him? Is it because of my worry over the Electric rodents?
If so, of course she's a somewhat worried if someone close to her has a huge cobra. Not blaming him himself here, she simply wishes to protect them from harm. You saw what happened with Plusle, and she still thinks this was her fault. Not doubting on Ventus' skills, but looks like he understands the request to please take care around them in the way that she does exactly this.

I'll be off for some hours now, for the sake of sleep. Bye!

He's hurt because you had to ask. Ventus is not going to use Apsis willy nilly around the group or other trainers until he gets a handle on her behavior, and builds up some more trust between them. He thought that would be obvious to everyone, but Shiva broke that illusion in one fell swoop. If Nathan was the one to brouch the subject, he probably would not have been hurt, as he expects those types of question coming from the boy. From you, his closest confidant and best friend, though. Surprise Attack!

@Dragonstrike : Looks like Nathan outburst triggered Ventus' 'Oh, so THAT is why!' realization. The man not going to like being yelled at, but he's going to take it with minimum complant. He's got to at least attempt to dig himself out of the hole he is in!
