(Quick Flashforward since I'll go offline now.)
It was late night outside, and somewhere in a dorm on the highest floor of the Center, Shiva was unable to find sleep. A check of the clock on her cell in the dark told her that it was 32 minutes after midnight, usually she was far away in dreamland at that time. Something kept her awake. Or, some things kept her awake.
She was just laying there, with Cottonee cuddled up close to her as if it was a beloved plush. Well, her fluff was just as cuddly as a plush. She musts have picked up that something was ailing her Master, since she chirped at her as Shiva placed the cell away onto the floor beside her bed again before withdrawing the arm again and hiding it under the blanket.
Her voice was low, silent and there was a hint of self-blame in it. „You can't sleep, Cottonee, although you refused to stay inside your Pokeball for the night? Well, me can't either... Funny, huh? It's like you knew...“
It was night. It was quiet. Shiva was alone there, only with her most loyal Pokemon in her arms, cuddled in a bed... „You know, Cottonee,“ she said all quietly, „...I'm scared. Yes, maybe that's it... Scared that something does happen during the event. Both Nathan and Ven do participate now for their own reasons, Nathan has a bad feeling that something horrible is about to happen, running with the Pokemon is dangerous on it's own... I do trust them that they take care of one another and get by, but it pains me a little that I cannot do anything to help them in the matter directly...I'll be just observing them from a safe place, on my own will. Never ever will I participate and run by myself. However, does this make me a bad friend for them? Am I leaving them alone coldly? I don't know... What I know, is that I'd never be so bold and brave to bring myself into obvious danger for the sake of others.“
She paused a little before continuing, somewhat feeling well to open up to Cottonee, just having someone to listen to her. „There's also...the Gym Battle... It's my free will to battle there, I promised myself to get stronger and be a better Master for you and the others, but now... What if I do loose in the end on my own fault? No... I'll not let you battle against Ice Types though, Cottonee, while you won against a Lapras, do you remember being frozen solid by Arbok's Ice Fang? I don't want to put you in danger... Ever... I wish for you to be a Whimsicott one day... Doesn't matter what happens, YOU will be there with and for me, will you...? How long do I know you now, a little more than three weeks? How comes I grew so attatched to you, and you even return it to me... It fills me with thankfullness. Joy... Nothing, NOTHING shall ever come between us, shall it... I love you.“
At that point, she brought the fluffball even closer to herself, sealing off the one or two sobs that escaped her despite all measurements taken to prevent this.
---------------
Mechanics:
None in the party will ever hear a thing about this, she'll try to seal off any fear from Ventus' empathy when he is around (Whether he picks it up or not/mentions it towards her, is his decision). I wonder though how Cottonee reacts to Shiva opening up with her worries to the fluffball, something that is very hard for her to do, @Iron...? Last post of the in-game day for me.
