[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

It did indeed take most of the remaining daylight to make his way back to town...Valerie, Kory, and Zamboni were likely busy with dealing with the aftermath of the Absol filled Running, so he didn't encounter them on the way back to the Center.  (I assume) Heart kept his distance since Nathan outright ignored his comment (and pun) on the excellent battle with the scarred Absol.

Calam remained outside his pokeball all the way.  He certainly spooked people just by being around, but Nathan wasn't exactly looking to interact with people right now, and Calam seemed to be enjoying it.  He was ready to just go back to the Center, lay down, and mull over the day's events in the privacy of his room.

And what does he find upon reaching the Center?  None other than Shiva talking with Ventus...blast...he wasn't entirely ready to deal with this yet...too late now, though...they'd seen them...Calam probably didn't help in that regard...

Calam, for his part, looks right at Ventus, narrows his eyes...and completely blocks the empath out of his mind since there's no need for Ventus to learn things he shouldn't.  A trick he'd learned to stay hidden from Ralts/Kirlia while he'd been following him and Nathan around.
