[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Kirlia tries a few things, knowing this is a learning experience for Nathan.

He encourages the Pokemon who are training to give it their all, helping keep Nathan distracted. He keeps a serious expression on his face, reminding Nathan that here is one friend who will never think ill of him, will always understand exactly why he reacts the way he does. He uses Calm Mind, offering to help Nathan attempt the same. He even considers doing a funny dance, if laughter will help deal with laughter.

(If any of this would offend Nathan further, Kirlia would know and wouldn't try it.)

At this point, Kirlia's Loyalty toward Nathan is peaking. It won't be long now til he reaches that all-important 5 Loyalty. They've journeyed across half the distance of the Creshire peninsula together, fought many battles, and even faced death a time or two. At the moment, Kirlia just doesn't care if Ventus and Shiva experienced joy while laughing, he just loves the bond between himself and Nathan and wants it to be as happy a bond as possible.
