[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Ventus, who was currently standing as far away from those blightening flowers as he could without losing sight of his friend, immedianlty noticed when Shiva snatch a couple of flowers and stored them away. He briskly closed the distance between him and the young lass, and placed a firm hand on her shoulder. "Shiva, it would for the best if you left the Deyo collection to Nathan, as he knows how to process them into a 'less' malicious form. He made swear not to raze these these Kuyrem damn flowers in Ginger Town, but that doesn't mean I distrust these deyos any less. Remember, they can still bewitch you and your Pokémon, so if you would..." Ventus said in a low, stern voice, looking her straight in the eyes while his other hand (Which was already gloved...somehow) was held out open to her. Even if he allow Nathan to collect those flowers against his better judgement, he does not want Shiva to start up that habit...

Damn... So it indeed was not the best idea to fall  into false confidence. His view on these flowers has not changed an inch (suprise), he just depicted it in a less agressive way. Instead of hot buring hatred, there was serene disgust and deep rejection.

Shiva was just about to object... She really was...
When she decided not to. She got weak and relucant of it because of that stern and low voice additionally with the gaze that was going directly through her ias she returned it. After all... He was still just wanting to protect her, right? Save her anything bad, right? Right...?

But... She didn't feel 'bewitched' or anything like that... Cottonee loved these flowers... However, Shiva guessed that Ven feared that the same thing that happened to his mother might happen to her if she gets involved into these flowers too much... No big wonder he wanted her to get rid of those...

Shiva stared back a moment, before she indeed drew both Deyo Flowers she picked from the crate and slapped them into his gloved hand. She was not outright angry... Nor sad or annoyed by his behaviour... However, she found it unfair that he let Nathan collect as many Deyo Flowers as he wanted. She could feel that he stil was not happy about it... But nevertheless, he let him alone. Why does she then...

She lowered her voice a little. But not too much, Nathan would still understand the words if he would decide to listen. "There you go. Do with 'em whatever you want... I wasn't planning to make pain killers" - was this really any 'less maliciious'? - out of these, just wanted to see why Cottonee was so fond of these elusive flowers... However... It shall not be so appearantly. You guys might need to explain to me why Nathan was allowed to pick these flowers and I'm not once you managed things with the court in Corsage."

" ... If not, I might feel like setting these flowers ablaze next time I spot them growing somewhere. They caused enough trouble among us already." An outsider might take these words as a threat - while actually it was not. Shiva just had enough of FLOWERS causing stress, fights and distances within their group.

She then waited for Ven to let go of her, so that she could go and pick up a few of the wild roses growing a little aside to pack into the crate and take with her. As well as take a closer look at these elderberry bush next to the roses. After all, Azurill might not be interested in the Deyo Flowers, but Shiva noticed that the blue mouse was giving the roses a fascinated look instead.
