She didn't approached him right away though. She headed back to the Cafeteria, only to arrive at Nathan's table a few minutes later. She didn't just arrived there though, Nathan would look up as he'd hear the sound of a glass being placed on the table and slid over to him, upon further investigation it was filled with brightly-coloured orange juice, possibly mixed up with Sitrus Berries for the taste. Before he could comment anything on it though: "Greetings and good morning. I know that you don't enjoy coffee, but a few more vitamins don't ever hurt, do they?"

No words came from her however as she joined him on the table, neither did she say anything for a while. Just enjoying coffee alongside him while Cottonee, outside of the Pokeball for the time being, placed herself close to Shiva on the table.

... Finally some words came from her in a soft a voice. Dierctly nailing it. "So... Nathan, you're not good at all at hiding it when something ails you. What is wrong, is it still the issue you told me about yesterday (participating and Absol), or something else? Or... " She moved a little closer to him and lowered ther voice, "...have you seen Ventus concidently this morning and triggered his protector-feels as you told him about your participaton?"

This was nothing more than an assumption/the most logical believe why Nathan was somewhat not okay. Whether his was true or not... Well, Shiva cannot know that for sure. She also has not much time to talk than she'd actually wish for due to plans for the day.

Nathan mutters a 'thanks' and takes the orange juice.  Arceus, Aotius, Mutios, and Mew all know he certainly needs something like that now...Kirlia gives Shiva a very appreciative look.

Nathan's silent for a moment as well when asked the question about why he's not doing okay.  When he does respond, it's in an incredibly annoyed tone.

"...I triggered that last night, remember?  It's the entire reason he changed his mind abut joining the Running.  But NOW he's taking it too far and refuses to stay out of something that doesn't concern him at all...I've warned him he'll make it more dangerous than it would be otherwise, that there'll be multiple entities that will be displeased with his interference, made it crystal clear that Kirlia and I don't want his help with actually solving the issue, and he STILL won't back down, all because he's an unreasonable worrywart...Kirlia and I will be fine.  It's everyone else, including himself, that he should be worrying about..."
