[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Nathan sighs, and waits for a moment...

Orthros is staying put.  

Good.

He still has Starmie's pokeball ready, but he and Kirlia both relax a little.  

Looks like there wasn't going to be any trouble.  Not this time, anyways.  Hopefully not later as well.

Nathan starts rubbing his temples again.  He really didn't want to keep Orthros secret if he didn't have to...

"Look, Ven...I'm sorry.  I overreacted.  You and Shiva had every reason to keep quiet.  Particularly Shiva.  I shouldn't have pushed it.  And just to keep things fair since I expect it of Shiva...you probably don't want to know what I'm not telling you.  Not yet.  It'd be dangerous for you, dangerous for me, dangerous for our pokemon...it needs time to be...not dangerous.  For everyone involved.  I don't intend to keep it a secret forever, though...it'd be pretty hard to, actually...if you'd rather know now, I think it can be arranged...but I'd feel better about it if given a little time, that's all."

" ....What has happen , happened. We can not alter the past , only learn from it , and attempt not to repeat it. As for this 'dangerous ' thing ... I suspect its related to our visit to the nightmare plane , Nate ? Your avoidance of talking about our time and experiences thier and side tracking me whenever I speak of it point to that conclusion , or am I mistaken ? " Ventus saud , looking very weary all of thecsudden at Nathan 's partial confession . 

The researcher let out a sigh , closing his eyes as he continued his train of though . " Nathan , if you are keeping something that not only endangers you , but every single thing around you , then I have a right to know what it is , so that I may prepare myself to safeguard myself and others . I trust in your own reason and ability to handle , cotain , and moniter whatever you have in your possesion , but when it has the potential to affect everyone ... "

Another heavy sigh escape his lips , before he opened his eyes once more to look at Nathan passively once more . " You are putting me in a very difficult position , my friend . I want to know , so that I may protect everyone I care about , but I also do not desire to strike yet another blow to our already fragile bond of trust we share. I hate secrets of this nature , Nathan . One that hold everyone 's fate in the balance , ones that could destroy what we hold dear . Its why I urged Shiva to let you in on our secret . I don't know how much she told you , but it was enough to start mending the years in your friendship. "

" ...I have said my piece on the matter . I will leave it up to you to decide whether to inform me right now , or until later . I trust that you will make the right decision , and I promise I will Not be overeact regardless of what you tell me . Just ...keep is safe , Nate ."
