[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Complete silence is all that's left in the room when Ventus leaves.  Nathan rubs his temples.  He's tired, and sick of arguing and yelling and worrying about the bad things that are outweighing the good ones...Ralts is looking really sad, still sitting over by Shiva.  "What a way to end the day...and I thought it would be happier than this, too...first the egg, and now this..."

And then he remembers Shiva's in the room.

And that he just mentioned the egg.

Silence lingered for a while, the meaningufl and tired type of silence. Just a few hours ago they were all an union, happy over Ventus' victory in the Gym Rematch. Now, there was barely anything of that left. It has been replaced with tension. Shiva did nothing than listen and pet little Ralts while the others were arguing, to her own suprise the small Pokemon came over to her once they were gathered up in the backroom. Maybe it was looking for a secure spot while his Master and the other guy were focused on silently lashing out on each other. She felt glad she was able provide this comfort.

Not that hard to spot that Nathan and Ventus have their hard time to get along sometimes. Although they seem to like one another... Maybe they just have too different opinions, a different background and different views on the various aspects on Pokemon handling. As far as she knows, Ven originats from Unova just as she does - going to ask him from where exactly once she gets the chance. Nathan originates here, from Chreshire, and presumably grew up on a Ranch in Trillium. Of course...

She let Ventus go, but clearly noticed that he was depressed over the situation. My... Hopefully he'll catch himself again; if not on his own, he knew where to find her. She also desisted on commenting anything he or Nathan said. She knew that they have their points of view and most likely won't change them at all.

Very very quitely, but still clealy audible in the silent room, she replied to Nathan. Her voice was...stern, yet a little gloomy. "Nathan... I'd appreciate if you'd stay away from his Arbok. Don't repeat something like the Deyo Flowers. " Pausing before continue. "And before you ask, I know that Plusle and Minun might look like great dinner for the snake. I gently asked him to take care, he probably knew this all by himself already, and I trust that he would never allow to let something into this direction happen. Ever."

Oh. He mentioned the egg. Replying to him in the usual soft tone, with Ralts so close he will see that there's no anger in her concerning this. "The egg's currently in the Daycare, the owners allowed me to keep it there until we leave town." She sighed a little before continue. Ah, the time has come. No overreacting this time. Stay calm, dear, you already scared him away once. "Thank you for your offer with Swiftfire, by the way. But...I'd prefer if you'd let me take care of it by myself. ...Alright?"
