[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Nathan's got Starmie's pokeball on hand just in case as the flame gets closer, though...until it's revealed to be Shiva and a...Litwick?  Where'd she get one of THOSE?  Well, no matter...so long as it was behaving itself...

"...*sigh*...well, didn't expect to run into you here, Shiva.  Oddly convenient, though, to be honest..."

Oh lucky day! Before she even reached camp, Nathan ran into her. First thing she notices was that Kirlia was not by his side - that was highly uncommon to see, and her first idea was that something must have happened to either leave him at the tent or withdraw him into his Premier Ball. Well, if Nathan's runnning around with his Ponyta instead of clutching to the Psychic-Fairies side, it either can't be that bad or any injuries have already been treated - very relieving to hear. Or assume, in Shiva's case.

Immediately she got reminded on what he put her through, as well on her harsh words while he was still infirmary. No... Staying strong is it this time... So these thoughts are rather quickly brushed off, she wasn't even sure whether she wanted to talk about this if he'd bring it up and without Kirlia Nathan won't know about this thoughts-feels before she finally replied to him in the normal soft tone. "Greetings, Nathan! Do forgive me for being late... Route 4 got me busy. In a positive way, I mean. Like, I already see you wonder about this spectral candle - that's mine, and one of the things that got me busy."

At his next comment though, she slightly tilted her head and smiled carefully yet compassionate, pretty much looking like an innocent Swirlix now. "'Oddly convenient'? What do you mean by that...?"
