[Lord Windos]

Nathan's not sure what to say to that...Kirlia does confirm that Ventus isn't lying, but...

He can't remember a single detail.  Not one.

And just trying to think about it was making his headache worse...

Why?  Why can't he remember?

This had just left him with more questions than answers...

Kirlia, meanwhile, looks a little sad and is feeling slightly guilty.  Oh no...this wasn't his fault, was it?  He'd only been trying to help Nathan calm down and get some good rest...

Ventus placing a hand on Nate's should, distracting them from their fruitless speculation as he still smiled at them, though this one had a note of concern in its now. "You are trying to recall the events for yourself, are you not. Well, my suggestion is not too, and let this whole debacle rest between all of us; at least presently. When the mind forcibly blocks out memories, it is usually to protect the mind from the traumatic experience and allow them to function normally, or as a defense mechanism to prevent the person from re-living the events and become similarly distressed in a negative feedback loop.  For now, let what happened yesterday go, and focus on what you have planned for today and tomorrow. The memories will unlock themselves when your mind feels that you are ready to face them, and if they never do....well, perhaps its for the best then. 'Don't go looking for trouble, lest it find you,' as the saying goes. Now, how about we get you some breakfast and get prepared for our trip to Stair City, Nate?"

At Shiva's comments, the researcher transfer his hand onto her should and gave them a kind but stern look that said 'Not now, alright? Later on, but not now.' Their was time enough to air their greviances, when they have grown worn out and stale with time and everyone has cooled off from That Battle, and he didn't want either of his friends to start to spiril downwards into negativity once more. He also gave a small headpat to Kirlia, as a way to show him that he didn't mind their actions in the battle (Not even Raphael's being nearly kissed to Faint!), and that all was forgiven between them and Nate, as far as he was concerned.
