[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Still talking quietly and carefully.  "Thank you.  Besides, if he doesn't wish to be here, he could literally leave at any time.  First thing he showed me was that he could slip back to the Dream World whenever he wished, which probably explains how he ended up in the actual pokeball in the first place.  I try and give him away or displease him?  *Poof*.  There goes the only chance we might have to see what this new subspecies of pokemon is like without being in any particular danger.  I keep him happy and show him staying wasn't a bad decision?  Well, I'm sure you know how loyal the species is, and this subspecies seems to take it to an extreme.  

"If I can't handle it, he'll likely just leave.  Particularly if I ask you for help on it.  If he knows how dangerous Starmie is to him, he certainly knows about whatever it is you did to his friends, which his pack was VERY upset about, I'll have you know.  He seems happy right now though, if not entirely loyal.  I think that's a good sign that things can at least improve.  I've got some meat for him, plan to keep him with me for awhile so he can familiarize himself with everyone...you know, general bonding stuff.  And I'll have Starmie ready at any time I'm not comfortable with him being out.  Like right now.  It's a mutual semi-trust between me and Orthros.  I trust he'll stay and not do anything I don't approve of, he'll trust me to keep him happy and provided for.  Fragile thing, trust.  And I don't intend to break that string I've somehow strung if I can help it."

He sighs.  "Fine, I won't tell Shiva for now.  Unless she starts asking about what happened, or sees me with him.  I can't make any promises if either of those happen."
