[Lord Windos]

Ventus gave her a rather incredulous at Shiva's remark, before he quickly shook his head to dispel it before both of them go the wrong idea. "My friend, I don't hate young Braixen for their....natural talents, they just greatly unnerved me after my own harrowing day. Give me some time to calm down, and aquiant myself with them, and I will get over my instinctual reservation. As for your own affinity with the magical and fae...it worries me, truth be told. You have an extraordinary connection and bond with natural magics and powers, but I fear that very same thing will consume you if one fell thing happens, or if I'm not around to caution such an interest and safeguard you from its dangers. I would prefer if you had nothing to do with spellcraft and the like...but I know that would be like you asking me to forgo my University teaching. They are integeral to us. I have come to accept that part of your, Shiva, after all that you have done for me, for all the time we have shared, good and bad. After all the things we have experienced together, in such a short amount of time no less, I never want to be without your friendship, despite my reservations. You may be a witch, somewhat, but your my cute witch, and I can find peace with that fact," he says, gently caressing the small hands clasped around his. They may be opposites on the spectrum of magical view, but that doesn't mean they still can't be friends...

When she correctly guess and complimented his incense, he couldn't help but gently smile and take stick out of his mouth, exhauling the smoke above both of their head. Wiping it off, he handed it to Braixen, know that the species enjoy spices and pleasant ouders like he does, before he began speaking about her discovery. "Good sense of smell you have their! My incense are made of Lavender, Liliac, and just a hint of Sage and Rosemary. Helps me regain my calm after stressful events, and can ward off vile magics and fell spirits in a pinch if I preform the right incantation or exorcisim chant. I despise most forms of magic, but some branches of it have...practical application that I can not and should not ignore. 'Know thy enemy, so that what he does can not surprise you, and you know exactly what to do in order to counter them...' Though my incense....romantic applications are greatly overstated. They have never helped me earn a date before, though one of my prior boyfriends did enjoy them as much as I did at time.....anyway!" Ventus said, quickly trying rush the conversation before Shiva start asking question about his past relationships. That was NOT a subject he was comfortable opening about, least of all to someone that.....might be intereset in them. Even if only subliminally so....brrr.

Her own segway into their medication she was taking was perfect for him to take about instead, then! "Well, as long as you are careful not to overdose of those vitamin supplements and don't take too much of that herb, you should be able to make a full recovery from the....sadness I caused you. If you feel that you are having or are about to have a depressive episode again, though....please come get me. I may be a sociologist, but I do have some experience in the field of therapy, and I can help you get through whatever ails you. Granted, that experience comes mostly from Pokémon, but people and them are more alike mentally than most would think. At least, similar enough that we can reason and bond with them like any other of our respective species. Quite fascinating, don't you think," the researcher says, his eyes sparkling as he briefly dipped back into his primary subject of interest. Cheshire has been a wealth of information and data for his studies, though he could do without all the blasted magic that is plaguing him and co...

He politely nodded to her comment, not minding the slight kerfuffle on her part (Nathan has been known to miss some of his calls, after all...), and just ruffled her hair when she congradulated him on his victory. 'I didn't quite enjoy it as much as they might think, but I am glad to have that match over and done with. I love Ghost types, but by Reshirim I don't enjoy when they turn their powers against me...' the empath thought, before showing her the pictures. He knew that she was only laughing because he was, but she did find the interesting and enjoyable, so their is that, he supposed! Shiva's question concern their ETD , though, caused him to put it his camera away and ponder her question. "Nathan is over their at our table, trying his best not to be noticed after I showed those pictures of his. By the way, remind me to go find his mother once we reach his home time, so that I can share these with her. She'll get a laugh out of them, I am certain of it, hahahaha! Moving on, Valder is still with Corsage proper , but he should be arriving soon enough, so let us not worry about him for now. I would love to leave this dreary town ASAP, but we should first discuss our future plans with Nathan and what we are going to do in Winesberry in the near future. Sooner or later, we have to deal with them..."

After discussing things with the group (We can always Flashback or dicuss our plans in the Meta Thread!) , they all went to bed/left town, and where resuming their quest soon enough. Ventus picked up on the energy that raidiated throughout the group, and the Pokémon that inhabited this stretch of semi-wilderness. One particular source of curious/hunting feelings caused him to turn his head in that direction, and he spotted what looked to be a Wobbuffet! Only this one seemed...off for some reason. Getting his friend attention, he quickly told them: "I want to investigate this Pokémon further, so I will approach it and examine what appears to be strange about it. You are free to join me, of course, but I just wanted to let you know before I ran off."

Order: Want to observe/challenge that Wobbuffet with Raphael, Iron! I like the concept of that Pokémon quite a lot, and having one on my team until I find something better would be nice indeed!
