[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Bringing back Raphale to his his respectful owner after the Tutoring was more than fruitful, the first thing Shiva noticed was that Kyuu was certainly doing good. The psychic kitten even let out an appreciating chirp when being asked by his owner when she asked whether he enjoyed the mental training led by the researcher, before he got withdrawn.

Helios was still rather quiet, but this only showed that Ventus did not distress him at all, which calmed Shiva greatly. He alos got withdrawn.

Though, when she turned towards her magical fox... The image the fox was giving her was almost frightening. He didn't seemed calm at all, he had his ears lowered, he glanced at Ventus somewhat malicious and...oh my, was that noral that he already had his basswood stick enlighted like he'd jump into a heated battle in a moment? Shiva could not help but to feel both suprised and somewhat terrified by seeing him in such a state, and threw a very concerned look over to Ven... What... What has happened here? What...did he do? Things were fine the last time... How comes they're so different now?!

When Shiva came closer to her fox and croached down to him, he did notice that and made eye contact with her, but kept his head in direction to the researcher. Worst part was when she tried to gently touch-stroke her fox on the cheek like she often did, he evaded that and looked away, causing Shiva to almost...fall back into the gloom she had before the Tutoring/Training. "Braixen... How...?" Then Ven's words came in, harsh and almost cold, and she faced him now with her inner filled with sadness and pain.

Then it came to her. Something must have happened. Fox despises him? He wouldn't do do without a reason. Was he still mad at Ventus due to him hunting near the precious den, where the friendship beween fox and Fairy-Enthusiast started? Possible. Nope, very likely. Was it because the fox is just too magical for Ven's taste, and he somewhat senses that Ven has a hate for magic, which he takes as hate towards him? Certainly. He wasn't even a Delphox yet... And, worse, was fox disappointed because his Master should know, but instead just trusted the researcher's words he accepted his and Shiva's witchy aspects and relationship? Check. Neat... Showing his Pokeball to the fox, "Braixen... I'm deeply sorry for this. I should have known, right? But, foolish me trusted more in Ven's words...  Please listen now, okay?" Fox was still looking away, causing Shiva to both increase her voice and putting seriousness and importance in her voice. "I said LISTEN. You will NEVER EVER be exposed to this person" *pointing to Ven now, let's hope he doesn't mind* "anymore. I'll make sure that when you are outside your ball, you aren't forced to endure his pressence. Alright? Gym Battles may be an exception, but in that case he'll only be in the audience because of me. I am your Master, you are my familiar, so you mean more to me than he words of his that he accepted your magical aspects. It's fine if he does mine, but that doesn't automatically include yours. We will both savour our magic, but we'll do so without any obstacles in our way, and if this person is an obstacle for you... Then I won't force you be near to it. Alright? Please keep this in mind, my dear fox, same with...that...that I love you, okay? Don't just...hate me for being blinded, okay?"

Fox carefully listened to Shiva's delight, and responded to her in an appreciating chirp after starring at her for a little. All she had to  respond to him was a silent "Thanks you. Now, enjoy your rest, you surely deserve it." before he got withdrawn.

Next, she faced Ven in an expression that silently seemed to say 'You understand, right?', before "Now... Sorr for this, I should have known. Can we...just get beack to the Center then, please?"
