She says, "Oi! Hello, Shiva! What a pleasant surprise. Just let me put this in my garden - oi, by the way, never go rooting around in my garden without permission and guidance. Lots of traps, you know. Shall I put the tea on? How've you been sleeping lately?"

She looked up from just waiting in front of the house, petting and cuddling Azu as the Fortune Hunter arrived. (Blue mouse it getting so much care today...) At first, Shiva was a bit suprised - mixed with just a tad of disappointment, if one would look closely - to realise she wasn't there, but now that was replaced with honest delight.

"Oh... Eh, nope, I wasn't running around in the garden. What a good way to ward off any thieves, though!" Tea offer is gladly accepted as well. "Sure, I'd be down for another tea... Preferably the same like the last time, with too much lavender in it. But I enjoy the taste quite much, so... Cannot...stay for that long though, since someone's waiting for me. Just wanted to see you because it was on the path anyway."

As for sleep... Chuckles followed. Joyfully ones. "Sleep's splendid! But that comes mostly from camping outside of city... Feels great to get some proper and pleasant rest again. However, I picked up that the sleep issues have been increased, and the media are spreading the words in worry. I wasn't in Corsage for the last few days... Did anything particular happen? I mean, beside that hug ship - what was it called again, HMS? - arriving at harbor?"

Speaking of ships... Apperantly, the ship was filled with loot. "Speaking of the HMS, I bet they carry one or two treasures with 'em! You found anything special or new meanwhile? That is, besides that...stony...beehive-thingie?"

"Oh, and nope... Haven't found someone capable of repairing a musical instrumenr yet. But I'm keeping eyes for that issue! Will give you a call if I find out more."

When Shiva eventually comes to find Nathan on the beach, he's meditating with Kirlia, to try and clear their minds of some of the invasive gloom.  Neither seem to have noticed her approaching yet.

Before Time Skip.

He called that shard of duskglass 'incredibly value'... This only sweetened the item. "Favorite iem of Move Tutors... Haha, maybe it should become my new signature item or something the like? But sure, I'm taking good care of it."

She was quite overjoyed to hear Nathan accepting. So many positive feelings in this so-far day! "Sure thing... And thanks a lot! I'll get a hold of you as fast as possible. If I cannot find you for some weird reason, I'll give you a call. As for battle, 6vs6? Need to withdraw Cottonee from Nurse Joy's care at first. And Double Battle prefered. So be it then, see you soon~" With those words and  waving to him, they temporarly parted ways.


After Time Skip.

As she searched the surrounding, she spotted both Nathan and Kirlia there at the beachside. Lost in their thoughts, it seemed. Meditation? How clever... Besides, she still hasn't yet gotten back to Ven on the offer to teach Helios some basic meditation, with the aim to develope an awareness of the alpha-waves of his brain. Will do so as soon as they reunite.

She felt an instant-urge to sneak up to Nathan and suprise him with a tacklehug...before she brushed that thought off rather quickly. It'd be rude and disrepectful to interrupt someone in meditation like this, not even speaking of the danger that the mind would not get along with it in the current calm state. So instead, Shiva called out Fennekin and - after fox licked over her hand as a greeting - ordered him to sneak up to Nathan instead of herself and carefully nudge him to awake from meditation. If that does not work, use Howl to get their attention.
