[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

When she DID spoke up, her voice had the normal soft tone in it. She's doing okay, while she was indeed somewhat worried whether Nathan would get over things, this was not her own problem, and she is not a therapeut plus it's not like she has enough other issues to mull over currently. Like that... TM of practically THE Poison move in her possession...

"So... Ven... What do you want to do know concerning Nathan? I won't throw my friendship with him away just because he messed with both of us; in fact, I'm very open to rebuilding bridges. While my trust in him suffered a crack, it's not like this crack cannot be patched over time. Indeed...give both of us time... This time, however, it has to be Nathan to approach me with the issue. It's not like I did something wrong to him, did I...?" The next words were spoken more to herself, which means in a lower tone. "Fairies...are loyal and trustworthy if they've grown a liking to a person, but they can be so resentful... Way more resentful than I am..."


(Deleted that part of my post, and posted it here at this point to match the timeline of happenings. @Lord Windos, waiting for your reply now!)

Ventus took a set at the table once Nathan began to discuss the finer details of those binders with Dr. Mallorn, and just quietly thought to how he could better defend his group from both Scimitar threats and other dangers for the time being. 'Hmm....while our infiltration went of with barely a hitch, we almost got caught several out several times during it, and if it wasn't for quick thinking/thorough planning, those situation could have gone...poorly. Perhaps I need to start making some improvised weapons, just in case we get caught out without our Pokémon? Well, Sans did teach me a few more....creative ways to disable enemies, but I need to refine my own expertise in Crafts and Chemistry if I don't want to blow myself up....' the researcher thought, before he was jostled out of his thoughts by Shiva, who voiced concerns as to what should be done about Nathan!

Since yesterday night, Shiva has been practically super glued to his side since they left the Scimitar Base, but given the constant level of stress and danger they all were in, he couldn't honestly fault or object to this state of affairs. He even offered to keep her company until she fully recovered from the experience, so he really didn't mind such the behavior. What the empath didn't expect, though, was her to desire his company so much as to ask permission to sleep with him last night, but he took it with relative stride. He agreed, offered to share his bed with her like the gentleman he was (He slept on his side as far away from them as possible), and managed not to make a fool of himself or discomfort her. When he woke up in the morning with Shiva practically cuddling/spooning him, though... Ventus had to try very hard not to have a panic attack, and just stay still/act like he was asleep until she woke up later and conducted her morning rituals, and then maintain that cool long enough for them to part ways for a moment (He asked her to meet them down in the lobby, while he conduct his stretchin and washing up), and vent/meditate away that jumbled mess of feelings. While things were far from romantic between the two right now, he couldn't help but wonder just WHAT these developments will lead to...oh dear....

Now, though, the somewhat deranged Pokémon Sociologist was back to his 'normal' cheerful and affable mood, and was able to clearly contempelate his friend inquiry, tapping his chin as he was doing so, before he slowly responded with what he thinks is the best course of action for all of them. "You didn't do anything wrong down in the base, Shiva. Its just that our criticism and my....explosive reaction towards Nate unbalanced and threw his emotional state into such a tissy that he had no choice BUT to shut down like that. We both could have handled our opinon with a bit more levity, given how surprisingly sensitive he is on emotional matter, but he WAS acting rashly in the beginning down their before we corrected him. I've forgiven him already in reguards to the incident, since we all got out safety and I feel that he has learned the lesson, but I'm not asking you to do the same thing as I have. Just give Nate the time to fully settle down from these last few trying days, and then once he gets around to apologizing, you both can began to re-built that bond of trust between you. It might akward or uncomfortable between the two of you in the beginning, but I am confidant that the 'crack' in your friendship will mend in time. At least, that is my opinion on matters. What you do is ultimately up to you, my dear friend."
