[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Didn't take long to reach camp again. However, it was uncommon that it was so...'quiet' at their place. Nathan was outside with Kirlia, so she waved to him upon seeing him with one arm, while holding Azu close with the other. From what she could tell, there was no strong emotion coming from, were it still the events of yesterday night that plaqued him? Or was it plain physical tiredness over the lack of sleep? ...Most likely both. 

Saying that both had no effect on her would be lying. But she got the feeling that she was in a better nood at moment than, say, him and Kirlia. Ven was absent, but she naively hoped that he just returned to sleep instead of leaving into the woods...

She sat down somewhere near Nathan. Not 'beside him'. Let's give him some of the space he seemingly needs. Her voice was also calm, and filled with a warm feeling. 'You won't get any half-truths and nasty reactions from me now.' "I'm back and unharmed, as assured. So... *hesitation, but also awareness that bottling things up will make things worse* you managed to get some good rest after...yesterday?"

Nathan looks a little...embarrassed?  "Yeah, about that...sorry you had to see that...we're both feeling a little better, yeah...again, thanks for stopping me..."  The apology and genuine thanks are pretty easy to read.  It's not an easy topic for him, but he's feeling a little more...open to conversation with Shiva than before.  Shiva stopping him from killing Rattata himself seems to have had a great impact on him...

Kirlia mirrors the thanks as well, and smiles at Shiva.  She did well.  Everything turned out okay in the end, even if it did almost go nuclear a few times in the process. And it was clearly helping Nathan with opening up again, which made Kirlia even happier.
