[Lord Windos]

A sense of duality, of two layers of feeling, each distinct from each other and yet so similar before it vanished was picked up by Ventus' empathy, and he discretely glanced out of the corner of his eyes to find that Shiva was the source of this strange emotional array. 'Odd...very very odd. Again I detect this percular phenomina in her, though if only briefly this time, and its not often that a person's feelings stump me. I wonder if she aware of these dual emotional responses of hers, or if its just another aspect of her being that they pay no more mind to that breathing air? Perhaps I'll ask her later, but for now we both have a battle to prepare for,' he thought to himself, before Shiva turned her attention towards him and voice her dissenting opinon on the matter.

The researcher let out a understanding sigh, knowing how well Shiva detested any form of needless interparty conflict (Even for fun and practice, and responded with: "I know, Shiva, but the boy is not like you or myself (Thankfully...), and can't shoulder past or overcome his grievance/put them to the side like we can. I've misjudged his mental fortitude in the past, which resulted in him going in a severe state of shock and apathy when I pushed him too far, and I frequently underestimate his own tolerance my...various actions, so I suspect I've also erred in assuming he's socially experience as us. Having some form of Anti-Social disorder  does fit what I know of him and his background, and explains why he feels much more at ease around his Pokémon than either of us most of the time, and why he has such a hard time forgiving the mistakes of others, apologizing towards others, and opening up about himself in general."

"Right now, the only thing I can do to help him recover from my most recent slight against him, besides leaving him be until he works through his own and interact with me at his own pace, is to battle it out with him and see if that truly helps. *Sigh* I just hope that this fight will improve things between us all, not worsen it... When you are ready, we'll head out and face Nathan, so don't rush on my account."
