[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

The researcher was both bemused and curious about Swiftfire's sudden coldness towards the grassy goat, and couldn't help but ask Nate : "I didn't realize your horse was a Tsundere, Nate, but it makes sense in hindsight given the behavior I've observed! Pray tell, what is this 'last time' you allude to? Hopefully nothing too dreadful, I imagine!"

Swiftfire GLARES at Ventus at that comment.  Nope, she was done with this nonsense.  Nathan recalls her before things get even uglier...

"That 'last time' was when she gave one of the other ponyta on the ranch a chance.  And when they turned out to be the complete opposite of what she expected, she roughed them up.  Badly.  That particular ponyta has avoided her completely ever since, and none of the others have even thought about trying (not that she particularly cared about that).  That happened only a couple months ago.  Max had to take some extreme disciplinary action with her after that..."

Nathan looks at Skiddo next.  "So if you want a good shot at her, don't let her down, and give her space if she needs some.  She's a very independent individual, so you've got a long ways to go before you get through to her."

If there's one thing Nathan knows, it's ponyta.  He had a feeling Swiftfire might warm up to this Skiddo eventually...she at least wasn't rejecting him entirely right now...
