[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Nathan thinks for a moment.

'Well, he's not wrong...he's in a better position for this than I am...'

Maybe the town's atmosphere was just getting to him.

Thinking about it, when was the last time he'd taken a serious break from training and all this stress? Ginger Town? Did that one count? All the other times he'd 'taken a break' had involved a serious conversation or training of some kind...

"Yeah, alright. Makes sense for now, I guess...maybe I'm just not thinking properly right now...the atmosphere here...it's really grating, ya know...well, of course you know...but you're not the only one sensitive to those kinds of changes in our group...Kirlia's been pretty off kilter since we entered the town, too...maybe we just need a break. A proper one. Some time at the aquarium actually sounds nice, thinking about it...Staryu would probably enjoy it too..."

Then he remembers something. "Oh, uh, I need to go grab Zippy from the PC first, though. Guess that shouldn't take too long...and I'm sure he's pretty anxious, waiting for me to come get him...let's finish this errand, and then I can go do that, then return to the aquarium...yeah, that sounds like a good plan, I think..."

There's a lot of talking to himself mixed in with the conversation with Ventus. He's still aware of the conversation, but...maybe he really does need this time spent doing nothing but having a little fun during the downtime...
