[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

(cue Ventus interrupting now as well, I guess?)

As the heartfelt moment between Nathan and Shiva winded down to calm and comfortable ease with each other, and with Heart himself going off to chart the way forward and forwarn the group of treachery/visceral threats, Ventus knew that now was the time to re-intergrate with his friend. He returned Michael to thier Pokeball (But not before giving them and knuckle bump for their excellent work!), he slowly crept out of his hole on the wall hideout and made his way towards the boy, taking care not to make any  jarring noise that would give him and spoil his surprise. When Shiva saw him, the empath held a finger in a 'shushing' gesture to hold the lass of from giving away his movements, until he was right behind the unsuspecting trainer.

Then, in one smooth, swift motion, he wrapped his arms around Nate's midsection and hoisted him up into a great big Bewear style hug! "Oh Nate, its a relief that you braved the Running yet again with nary a scrape, and have managed to find a potential partner for Swiftfire in Skiddo! I'm afraid my prospect when far more meager, but I'm still greatfull for what you accomplished! Reshirim be praised indeed!" he said, twirling around the boy in exuberant joy before placing them back down on their feet to recover from his affectionate embrace! He then moved over to Shiva and gave her much less intense, but never the less still delighted hug. "I'm glad to hear that you had a safe and bountiful time as well, dear! Perhaps you can show me Tropius later, as I never had the chance to meet one in person myself!"
