Detach himself from her, Ventus placed his hands on his shoulder and looked extremely worried, trying to figure out What could have caused THIS? "By Reshiram Shiva , what is wrong! Your depressed, something I never expected Comming from such a joyous, magical person as you ! Please, tell me who did this to, so that I can make them pay for such a heinous crime! "

What.... 'depressed'? No...! She wanted to grow stronger and develop more confidence, not make her insecurity worse!

It was weird though. First, Ven all joyfully pays her a visit to check on her and even brings breakfast with him, then he abandons her over a damned misunderstanding, then he pulled her into a tight and fiece hug that would make her heart skip a beat otherwise, and now he was what seemed to be rather worried over her. What an interesting day, so many different emotions and sides within the same daylight.

Hehe, he wants to make the person pay who seemingly caused this? Then he'd have to cut his own flesh, to put it out bluntly... Those issues with Nathan were cleared up, and now to think about it they were a big cause as well... She cared for him and her lies to him pained her, but now that she knows what he had to know and expressed that things between them are fine and any remaining wounds will heal over time, what was left were the...abandonment issues...

It took a while before Shiva found the strength to speak out any words. Her voice was still low, but ever words was clearly audible. "First of all... Thanks for accepting at all... I feared you wouldn't answer and plainly ignore messages, but it's good to see I was wrong on this assumption. I wished to clear matters between us as soon as possible, that's why were here now..."

She couldn't look Ventus in the eye after taking a glimpse. His worried expression was way too painful to see, Noibat sitting there was way more interesting to face. Somehow, the draconic bat was...cute. Wonder how he'd stand against her fairies...

"You may wonder how I came here relatively fast, do you? ...That's because I sent that message to you from the Pokemon Center. I just came back from where Nathan resided, we cleared the matters between us... I told him the details concerning the secret mission and why his dear Ralts evolved. On free will. Seeing that he abandoned us because of it all...guilt is a horrible feeling. But it led to me take the step to open up towards him, he showed himself compassionate and understanding, and any remaining wounds between us will surely heal if given a little time. Things will become...way better soon enough. So, please rest assured on this and keep anything concerning the mission for yurself, will you? I made Nathan give me his words. It's safe. I'll keep my mission, while none of you mention it towards me if possible... None will ever know you two knew, if all works out well. Fine?"

Speaking of Nathan... Oh well... "Ven... You know how it feels to wake up from unconsciusness in a gloomy city all of a sudden? Maybe you do. If not, imagine waking up wit absolutely none around and not really knowing what has happened. That's how I felt when I regained consciousness again there in my dorm. None was there. Back there as you collapsed In Trillium, I was with you in the room all the time to await your awakening. I had none when I awoke... Add in the feeling that I somewhat lured the dream demon to me. Don't ask why, I don't wish to discuss this now... Luckily, I had my Pokemon there. You found me interacting with them because otherwise I'd fell into a feeling of loneliness. I could have gone downstairs for breakfast and stuff, but I didn't feel like doing so, neither physical nor emotional."

"Your visit filled me with so much joy and delight. Someone cares for me! Enough to worry for me and check on me! How wonderful, you deserve thanks. But...your visit quickly elevated into something bad. You know, I didn't mean to drive you away... You came to me, enlightened my day, but then left me alone coldhearted because of a dumb misunderstanding? I NEVER EVER meant to badmouth Nathan! I do care for him, equally to you, I wouldn't go to clear matters with him and wish him good luck on the Gym Battle if I wouldn't! That comment you must have gotten wrong wasn't for him, it really wasn't, I meant all those who leave their safe home in the young age of 10, gather a Pokemon and jump headfirst into trouble and arrogance because although without an inkling of knowledge about the Type Balances and different kinds of Pokemon, they succeed magically! They don't see they may have won a battle out of pure luck. No, it was their non-existent skill that brought victory! Such fools... When they fall, their fall is high and devasting and it's their fault. But Nathan is never such kind of person. He has knowledge, he has skill, he is an outright good person. When he wins, he won due to his cunning and skill, not thanks to fortuna entirely. And still, he doesn't get arrogant... That is a valuable trait that should not be forgotten."

"You see what this misunderstanding nad your following abandoment caused in me, alongside the issue with him - but these at least have been cleared. I love that secret mission, I don't get why you people have to bother me about it, why it is causing so much dicomfort when it's actually my chance to shine! You know that old spat between a tough hero in the spotlight and the quiet one in the background? Although the latter's performance may be better, it's more likely that the first will be recognized and titled 'true hero'. I...have enough of being overshadowed and not taken for full, is it just because I am no natural battler? WHY? Why is it that way? Am I not allowed to taste spotlight when given the chance?"

"Your abandonment over a foolish bad phrasing has hurt me greatly, you know how the mind is a powerful thing? What if it begins to tell you are worth nothing, your mistakes and actions have driven away those you care for, it's your fault, you don't deserve to live on top of that! Never, NEVER leave me like this again, I don't want to go through such a trail of thoughts... Don't hate me when you called me 'your best friend' and 'adorably beautiful' formerly, you could have stayed at last to tell you I didn't mean it instead of destroying the joy I had from your visit when I was in need for support... You said my support to you eases you and lightens your quest, why am I not allowed to ask for a little support in return? I don't...understand it... I don't want to... just stay with me when I need it, is that too much to ask for?"

Next, she leant onto his shoulder and begab to cry. All silently, but the tears she tried hard to hold back refused to stay hidden. She didn't even cared if she was moisting his green tweed, only now she realsed how cozy it actually is...

Looks like she only wished for Ventus to stay with her this time and protect her over the night, as well as leaving Corsage soon enough to be distracted from any issues.
