[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Thankfully, Kirlia had no objections, even if he did seem sadder and more concerned than usual.

Upon arriving, Nathan scouts the area, just in case, though Kirlia doesn't come with him for some odd reason...

The area looks safe for now...but if he ends up staying overnight...he didn't know if he'd be able to face Ventus and Shiva by then, though...better keep an eye on that trail...no telling what might come down it later...

When he returns to camp, he finds Kirlia has constructed...something.  It's all a bit of a tangled mess, really.  And then Kirlia tugs on a string, making the whole thing move.  Does some sort of...karate chop? A string breaks, and it all comes unraveled...

It takes a moment for Nathan to register what Kirlia's trying to tell him...

"Kirlia...are you...trying to tell me why you evolved?" It's the only logical explanation, considering what just happened.  Kirlia nods.

Nathan just walks over to a tree and sits down next to it.  "I'm sorry, Kirlia...I don't understand what you're trying to say...they're not going to tell me though, are they?"

Nathan puts his head in his hands, and a faint sobbing can be heard for a few minutes.  He just doesn't understand why they won't tell him...why it has to remain 100% secret...he just wanted to know a small why, not a big secret...was that so much to ask when it concerned his best friend directly?
