[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Some knocking on the door prevented her from mulling over things just now though. Knowing that it must either be Nurse Joy or one of the others to check on her state, Shiva got back to bed and responded with "Door's open, come in.", followed by a muted "If you have coffee or even breakfast with you, even better."



--------------
If Ventus comes into the dorm now, he'll find her upright in bed half covered by the blanket and wearing that nightdress I described earlier plus still that shard of duskglass. She's in a moderate mood right now since her Pokemon cheered her up and successfully prevented any feelings of loneliness from emerging. At the end of bed, her Psychic (and future Psychic) Pokemon except Comite are gathered up with the Espurr a little hidden. Even if Ven would notice the strong psychic power the cat is radiating, he wouldn't know where it comes from without taking a closer look.

.

(Ventus picks up emotions, not Psychic energy. Unless the critter give him reason to suspect it's existence,  my character won't even know it's there!)

A pause in the knocking, then some shuffling footsteps as the stranger walked away from the door. 10 minutes or so later, those same footsteps resounded in the hallway, until they stoped in front of Shiva's door once more. The door crack ever so slightly, as the person checks to see if the occupant didn't fall back asleep, before they carefully opened the door, revealing that the intruder was in fact Ventus. He was carrying a tray of her favorite breakfast food, along with what looked and smelled like to be premium grade Coffee!

Smiling in relief that Phantom was apparently in excellent condition, despite her time in the nightmare, the researcher walked over to her and set the food tray on the nightstand beside her, and pooped her a cup of joe, before handing it to her. "Shiva I see you have recovered from you rousing battle with...Nathan yesterday evening. Nathan informed me you collapsed from running yourself ragged in your battle, so I decided to come over and conduct a check up, but it appears that won't be necessary at this point. Some more bed rest might do more than a little good for your health, but if you are already up and about interacting with your Pokémon, them I say you are just fine," he said, smiling rather dazzling at his 'bedridden' friend. 

It was hard to fool someone if all their Pokémon were summoned, ready to train and do thier master's bidding. That, and his innate empathy picked up that she felt happy and well adjusted after her brief coma, so he knew that his best friend was more or less spared from negative after effects of that nightmare. Unlike him...

Ventus normally serene faltered at this thought, and that bit of negativity lead to pondering the state he left Nathan in, before his visage looked quite depressed. "Unfortunately, my morning has not been all Solrocks and Roserades. I got into a spat with Nathan after I grew a little too...curious for my own good, and it eventually lead him to asking about your daycare mission. Now, I didn't reveal a word about it, and plainly told him why I couldn't, but he reacted...violently regardless," Ven said exhauling as he distinctly remembered how the boy felt at that revelation. Oh, how it torn at his heart...

"Shiva...I question if it's such a good idea to keep this mission from him at this point. The boy has grown increasingly unstable over been kept in the dark, and he's growing to not only resent us for this, but outright distrust us as well. When I walled him off, Shiva, he hard the most wounded look on his face, and I clearly felt the feeling of betrayal emenating from his heart," the researcher continue, before rubbing his eyes with one hand, tired of unexpected drama ruining their friendship. Was peaceful harmony amount the group such a hard thing to achieve?

"I know you despise the very thought of informing other about your mission, but if we persist in shutting Nathan out of the matter....we'll, things won't get better between us, to put it succinctly. If we only told him a part of it, maybe we can stop our friendship with him from crumbling anymore than it already has...."

(Well, I set up the perfect lead for you, Phantom and served your character breakfast in bed! Hopefully this pleases everyone...please?)
