[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Being carted around like a Litten by an Arbok was a unique experience, to say the least. Still, while it did make him feel a bit invalidated in front of his friends, he did appreciate greatly Apsis gesture. Walking with weeping cuts was excruciating, in his experience. Hearing Nathan retort about his  encounter Stunktank took the look of surprise of his face as he frowned at the boy (Well, as much one can front at someone while being carried by a giant snake).

"Nathan, I understand that first contact with Uriel left me worse off than before, and that things could have gotten worse, but please don't make light of my near death experience. I am not trying to be rude, but that was a harrowing moment of my life, while this was just a spot of misfortune. Maybe I should have used Honey Coated Poffins instead of straight Honey..." Ventus said, his voice trailing off as he though of better methods to employ diplomacy against Pokémon.

Eventually, they all made it back to camp. Shiva, upon looking at her friend state of distress, immedianlty started to help set up the tent, while Kirlia and Apsis stood watch over him to make sure he didn't aggravate his wounds. The researcher look quite unhappy to be treated like a total invalid, but a quick glare by Apsis and a discrete show of power from Kirlia keep him from getting up to help them (Still would tried, If Apsis didn't immedianlty curl up around him to prevent his movement). "I am not going to leave the campsite, Reshirem forbid, but would you please let me help? I don't like being idle now!" he said, receiving a firm negative from everyone. Drat.

When Nathan set about to tend to his wounds, he did his best to wince or show any obvious sigh of pain, as while he knew that Nathan knew that he was beat up and was worse off for it, he didn't want to aggravate that worry anymore. "Oh Reshirem, Nathan, I may be injured, but I can still move around. Is all of this quite necessary? If you insist, I'll stay here and train my Pokémon, but someone has to take Apsis out for hunting tonight. I don't want her to go hungry, you know."
