[Lord Windos]

The empath silently took her heated words, his slowly tilted downward and the red bangs of his hair shadowing his eyes as he tried to avoid her wrathful, distressed eyes. Every angry word she spoke, the atrocious and overprotective behavior he had exhibited for the past few day, him forshaking her to hide away like some craven thief plotting their next heist...it was all true. He of course knew this already, and even expected the near emotional breakdown his dear friend was currently experience, but that did not make him feel any better hearing it straight from her. When she had finally worked all the feelings of bitter anguish out of her system and leaned into his shoulder, Ventus stood their for a few moment, silent as a grave, before one of his hands came up and gently enveloped her in a timid, half hug.

".......No, I suppose I have not. I've been so focused on my mission to protect Nathan, to be their for him that I...sacrificed almost everything to that lofty goal. *Sigh* Including you, Shiva. In my personal quest these past couple of day, I have excluded everyone else, all without considering how they would be affected by my 'heroic' actions. I just wanted to make sure that the boy was safe and well taken care of, but I took it too far this time. Far to much. I should have listened to his demands, his request in the first place, instead of bulling him over to do what I thought was right for him. I should have kept in contact with you, updated you on what my current status and course of action was, but I choose to hide from everyone to avoid anymore scruitiny for my overprotectiveness. *Sigh* I even disguised myself, all to hide from Nathan and prevent him them from trying to further dissuade or sideline me while I tried to 'help' him to take down that Absol, and prevent him from being harmed by it. All that effort and time, to aid him in his time of need....it was utterly pointless. MeaninglessThe Disaster Pokémon and him quickly outpaced me, and what is more it meant no harm to him by what I later discerned. I don't know where either have headed, but I can only hope and pray nothing terrible has happened. I've potentially ruined my friendship with one of my best friend by worrying too much, and their is hardly a thing I can do about it..."

Ventus was silent for a few minutes, as he mustered his will and depressed spirits to give his dear magical friend something extremely important to her: an apology. "Shiva...I'm sorry for the hell I put you through. It was never my intention to leave you isolated and bereft, but I invariably did in my narrow minded goal in protecting Nate. That was horrendously wrong of me to do that, to make you suffer for my own foolish desire to help someone that needed not my help, and I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart for my thoughtlessness. I...I promise I will make it up to you, starting by attending your first Gym Battle, and supporting you every step of the way. Here, *Sticks his hand into his satchel and pull out the Hard Stone he won at the Shuckleball contest so long ago*, take this for your Comite, as it can certainly boost its natural Rock type powers, and help accelerate it acquiring new moves for its own use. I'm also willing to lend any of my family member for you to use in your match against Zamboni, if you desire, as I want to increase the odds of you being victorious in better as much as possible. I can also provide you some Full Heals and Potions, just in case you need them. I'll do all that for you, and much more my dear, dear friend. So please....can you find it within your heart to forgive this wretched man?"

The researcher then went completely silent, and awaited her response. He can only desperately hope that he can salvage his friendship with her, but this time he finds it hard to be optimistic right now...
