Mid-training, Nathan has to have a good ol' sit-down, rubbing his temples once more.
He was tired. Very tired.
He hadn't slept too well last night. He'd slept, but...
Was stuff like this normal?
Did friends really make fun of each other like this for laughs?
He didn't get it...he knows if he'd been on the observing end, he wouldn't have found that situation funny at all...but who was he to judge? He was more used to books and web articles than living, breathing people, after all...but at least they didn't laugh at your expense...he'd experienced all too much of that back in his single digit years...this was bringing back a few bad, almost forgotten memories of always seeming to be the odd kid out in a small town...being made fun of for having no pokemon of his own, being called a 'bookworm,' never seeming to be accepted by anyone barring his family and their ponyta...it's stuff like this that had kept him from making friends in the first place...
They were headed back into the forest now...and there was STILL no sign of that Absol...what the heck did that brief vision mean? It had been five days since he and Kirlia had dreamed about it, however vaguely, and there hadn't been a peep from Absol ever since...
They were gearing up to head into a Water Scimitar base to see what they could find on Genesect down there...all because they couldn't afford to alert the region to Genesect's probable presence there...who knows what the Unovan officials might do if they found out about this...or Creshire's residents, for that matter...Wineberry was already rather enraptured by the mere existence of such a pokemon, after all...
All of that and more had been on his mind last night...and still are, in fact...
Sure, they'd won their gym battle against Chuckles yesterday...and with relative ease too, all things considered...his planning had been near flawless in the end...but Ventus being very non-enthusiastic about the challenge that battle had posed was really grating as well...if Ventus was acting like that in a no holds barred Gym Battle, how much would Nathan be able to rely on him in the future? Things weren't going to get any easier from now on, after all...and if they were eventually going to end up at the Skull Ruins, he didn't want to have to deal with Ventus having a mini panic attack because of all the ghosts that inhabit them...
He has to rub his eyes...bah...hiding how tired and stressed out he was from Ventus wasn't making it any easier on him...he didn't want to, but...none of it was anything he wanted to bother Ventus with currently...he was fairly certain they both had a lot on their minds, anyways...though that reminds him that one of those things is probably his mom seeing those pictures...ugh...
Kirlia takes a break from his training to come sit by Nathan. Nathan was trying to carry all these burdens by himself, and it was worrying the dancer. He understood why...but what could he do to help other than just be there for his friend? Asking Ventus to try and help certainly wasn't going to help matters any...maybe Shiva could help? Kirlia wasn't picking up anything from Nathan concerning not letting her know, even if she had furthered his embarrassment by laughing at the pictures as Nathan had feared she would...but that could mean a few things...or was there something else he could try? Hmmm...or did he just continue to be there for him and let Nathan snap out of it on his own? (@Iron, if Kirlia tries to help, what he does, and when is up to you to decide!)
