[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

While the concept of leaving one's Pokemon train or roam free without their owner around, regardless of Nathan and Sensei being within reach, seemed wrong to her... "If that's your wish, sure thing." She told her Pokemon not to fret over her since she'll be back soon enough, if something's wrong, they can always get a hold on Nathan over there or herself, before following Ven wherever he led her to.

Shiva sudden anxiety and her glancing at Azuril, Cottenee etc. was not lost on Ventus, who quickly put a hand on her shoulder, and squeezed comfortably. "Your Pokémon will be fine, Shiva. They be focused on honing their skills, and both Nathan and the sensei are there to make sure nothing goes amiss. Still, its a good idea to inform them your going to be unavailable for a bit, so I'll wait until you are done with that action," he said, before he went over to a pair of doors to a back room in the dojo, and waited there patiently.

Once done with her self appointed task, Ven opened the screen a empty backroom, and beckoned the young lass over to it. When they both entered the room, he closed the doors behind them, carefully glanced over the room to see if they were anybody trying to be nosey, before nodding his head and focusing on Shiva once more. Even with his ability to mask and hide his true emotion state, the young lass could clearly see tiredness and stress lurking behind his gaze. "*Sigh*....I'm sorry for the cloack and dagger business, but I'm not in the most trusting or positive mood as of late. I'm sure by you noticed, of course, but it wasn't my debt or the thought of you and Nathan fighting that put me into such foul state....its this entire town, Shiva."

"Ever since I have set foot in the Reshirim forsaken face, my empathy has been assaulted by the constant levels of despair that appears to saturate Corsage. It has not only stunted abilities, but it has left me sleepless, irritable, and uncaring about those around me, which, as you are aware, is truly abnormal behavior for me. What is worse, I'm not the only one affected in such a manner. Nathan and Kirlia positive, upbeat attitude is slowly being altered into a dismal, anxiety state of being for them. If it were not for our trip to here and the Aquarium, I have no doubt he would have eventually succumbed to the atmosphere of the town, and I don't want to imagine what would have occurred had that possibility came true...." Ventus said, his tone of voice so full of tiredness that one could feel their bones ack.

"Due to the state of disarry that the port town is actively inflicting upon me, Nathan, and perhaps even you, I have that it would be within my best interest to leave Corsage for a couple of day or more. The longer we stay here, the greater the chance something horrid will happen to our mental wellbeing, so I'm camping out in Fireweed until I have recovered from the worst of the gloom that befalls me as a preventative measure. I offer Nathan the chance to come with me, and he accepted my offer, so now their is only you to ask. Do you wish to accompany us into the forest? If you can't or don't want too, I will understand and not hold it against you, but I won't change my mind on this. This may be the last time you see me for half the week, so think carefully, my friend..."
