[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

After Nathan lectured him about the king, Ventus took a deep breath, exhaled, and began smiling like he had never lost his temper. If anything, it proved that the researcher had remarkable control over his emotions, even if the fluctuate wildly from time to time. "Sometimes one can't speak freely, 'less will hurt others in the process. That is all I can say on the matter, for now," he said to the younger trainer, looking rather apologetically at him. Still, better him being annoyed than completely clueless about Shiva's ongoing activities.

Then, like a switch, Ventus stop smiling in an instant. He looked wistfully into the air, as if remembering something long forgotten. "...The news is a fascinating source of information, but it often gets its facts wrong, or is missing the finer details of the matter. Ghentsis was always desired power, that is true, but he was not always a madman, nor was he overly malicious. He had a good heart, once. He wanted to rule Unova, but he also wanted what he thought best for the region as well. A country were Pokémon were truly free, a age where man and beast could coexist without exploiting one another...."

A sad smile graced his face as he trailed off, as he reminisced about by gone day. "...He changed, though. He changed."
Shaking his head a bit to clear his anger, he turned his attension back to Nathan. "Forgive me, but I was lost in thought for a moment. Your description of the king...it brought back strong memories. I'll practice upmost discretion in regards to what I talk about your cultural background for now on, so worry not my friend," Ventus said, smiling at Nathan as if nothing happened. Forgive and forget. Forget and Forgive.
