[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

It brought him no sense of pleasure to both see and feel cowering at his threats, but sometimes one has to resort to such harsh, blunt means in order to get what is need. Still, that doesn't mean he feels any better with the way he treated her, but he didn't let that show when she, with great hesitation, decided to tell him the truth. On the condition that he tells no one else about what is disclosed, but that is an arrangement he can honor completely and fully.

'Its as she said: I have experience in keeping crucial secrests. If I didn't, I would be rotting inside a Luxery jail suite by now. Speaking mum is a language I know intimately, so the information I'm told will not trouble me unduly. Even if it does, its not as if I don't have experience dealing with my own negative emotion, so it all comes to one conclusion, in the end,' Ventus though, staring long and hard at Shiva, before sharply nodding his head. "I promise, my friend. Now, reveal unto me what is going ..."

(After the Reveal!)

.......Oh. Oh. Silence reigned as the researcher took in all the detail outlined to him, backing away Shiva and just hanging his head in though, before he put his head into his head. Mumfled swearing could be heard for a moment, before he looked back to the lass again, looking far less severe now. "Shiva....I understand. A secret such as this...its monumentally valuable information. If Almanac heard even a whisper of it, who knows how they will react to a wolf among the Mareep? Not favorably, I know, but if they choose to escalate their dubious and cruel actions in response to this....countless people and Pokémon will adversely affected. Such a catastrophe can not be allowed to happen, so I now understand why you kept it hidden from us. Reshirim forgive me, for forcing you to divulge such information...." Ventus told her, appearing to be the perfect picture of Regret at the moment.

Letting out a tired sigh, he gently massanged Shiva's, trying to do his best to comfort her after his...rude behavior. "I'm sorry Shiva. My concern for the group left me apathetic for yours. Its small consulation, but you have my solum word that no one else will hear about this, not even Nathan.I won't pressure you for anymore information about this, but you can always share anymore information you receive with me, if you need advice on the matter. I don't like the way he's been treated over this issue, but its better he not know anything about this, rather than him do something rash. My only hope is that he recovers from this sadness we burdened with him, and finally be his regular self again. Now, before I lose myself in regret, what else were you going to tell me? From what I could detect, it was something fairly important..."

(End of The Daycare Reveal Argument!)

(Now for the Kissing Scene)

To say that Ventus was shocked by the chaste kiss from Shiva would be an understatement. His eyes widened rather notably, and he place a hand on the spot she kissed, vacantly staring at her, before blushing and shyly looking away from them. The researcher mumbled that sounded like 'Oh my...do I detect flirtatiousness?', before clearly saying : "Th-thank you, Shiva. I'm glad that my tour of the Aquarium with you brought you so much joy and happiness. ....Your kiss felt nice as well. Anyway, my Pokémon are currently winding done from their rigorous training, so both they and I are ready to depart for Fireweed," he said, facing away from Shiva while he was trying to get his feeling back under control.

First the Daycare assignment, then the Dream Demon, and now romantic feelings from his best friend. One of the Unovian jinn must be bored, and decided to screw with his life, for he's having very interesting times indeed. Oh dear!

Order: Time for everyone to go on a camping trip to Fireweed for a couple of days or more! After this reveal, Ventus despartely what some rest now!
