[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

The next part is just a mumble.  "...doubt...talk...broke..."  Kirlia's pretty quick to shake his head in response to it, though.  He grabs Nathan's hand to get his attention, points at Ventus, nods, then points at Shiva (who's still conversing with Mallorn at this time).  Clearly, he's trying to tell Nathan to just go talk to her already.

Nathan just sighs again and goes back to sulking.  Looks like convincing him to talk to Shiva might be a little difficult...

Closing his eyes and shaking his head at how stubbornly dour his good friend is remaining, Ventus tried to think of a way to snap his friend out of his pseudo depression, when he saw how worried Kirlia was. Looking at the dancer in question, an idea popped into their head, and he had to suppress the devious smile on his face as the details unfolded in his mind. 'Kirlia,' the researcher thought at them, looking him in the eyes, 'Remember that conversation about Psychic types we had earlier? I have a plan, and all I need a little acting on your part for it to work. Play along with me now...'

Ventus then let out a loud, saddened sigh, drawing Nathan's attention at his mournful looking face. "Well, I can't force you to make amends with Shiva, so if you want remain like this for the time being, so be it. I'm just...I'm just now worried how Kirlia will handle this negativity of your. While I'm sure they are fine right now, I'm concerned that your bad mood will spread to them eventually, which could have the potential to adversely affect their growth, development, and mental health. Hopefully this won't affect them too much for the time being...." he said, giving a sidelong meaningful look to Kirlia in question. Time to see whether this works or backfires terribly on him...though if he gets angry at them, it would still be an improvement then the current funk he's in...
