The empath's heart finally calmed down when the little one accepted his offer. Slowly, so as to not startle them, Ventus enveloped them into a soft hug, overjoyed that everything worked out without violence or conflict, in the end. "Thank you, little one. Thank you for trusting me. I promise I will never betray it, and stake my life for yours. Now, I can't keep calling you Wobbuffet or little one, since you are now a part of my family. Each and every member has a name, and you shall be no exception. Hmm...how about Abaddon? Its a little on the nose, but you do have the power to remove those that oppose you, and you are quite the powerful threat as well! What do you think, my child?" the researcher said, paying no mind to his friend for the time being. If they want to talk with them about something, they would have to get their attention directly, rather than waiting of soliciting it politely.

When Ven finsihed acquirering his new Team member with a hug, he'll find Shiva whiping off some last tears. There is...no way she'll loose it now, not now, in a moment where the desire to be strong was peaking. Although, even without empathic skills, she picked up that this suffocating sadness and loneliness coming from the direction of both Ven and Wobbuffet were lowering out, until it was absent. Ah... Felt way better... She was enjoying the aftermaths of Lucky Chant greatly. Felt a little... like a subliminal therapy session? Eh...

This whole negaitivity has been soothed, so she made it to very carefully and coyly approach Ven. Braixen was still by her side, but the basswood stick hidden away in its tail. There was no need to fight. That blue Pokemon here was no enemy at all.

She extended one hand to either touch Ven on the shoulder, or - what was going on that she had such a bold idea? - stroke over his cheek with the back of her hand, both to express appreciation. However, it didn't come to either since she stopped mid-movement, uncertain about how he'd react. Plus, being closer to both, she got the feeling that they're emotionally uprilled. A little, at least. But enough that she decided to rather not ask into direction of his lost family now by aiming to ask how his brother handled his Abra, so instead...

Her voice was lower than usual, afraid that it might break some fragile and just formed bonds. "Hehe... I'm, eh, sure you'll take good care of your new frien...family member. I just...know... Well, I trsut you on this, I mean... Anyway, congrats."

*cough* "It's... Psychic Type, if I'm not mistaken... That reminds me on something... You know, remember how you told me that meditating soothes your mind? You did that the whole time while I was there reading in the journal of Project you-know-what, it was a little awestruck to watch. I...can see you're emotionally uprilled, don't lie to me by telling me you're not or hiding it behind an adorable smile, so... Would you, eh, be down to teach some of these methods to some of my own Psychic Types? Additionally, to me? You know that depression-issues, I don't want to suffer an episode that soon again; and if, I'd need a way to calm myself down... Maybe teaching the mechanics will soothe your mindset as well? It...doesn't have to be the whole thing, I doubt meditation is learned by a single lesson, maybe some milder method or autogenetic training sounds better?"

She then awaited his reply. She was also avoiding his gaze until he assures things are fine and he's down to teach things in his current state.


Mechanics:
Let's see... This will be a Training Session for Helios, Braixen and Kyuu. The latter will learn Confusion for 9XP during it, while Helios might be interested in how to learn to soothe his mind. He also has that Silverly Spoon to help focus. The Psychic Powers are all connected to the mind and spirit. after all! In return, Ventus is free to ask for teaching Nasty Plot to Raphael in return.
