[Lord Windos]

Nice to see how Ven's Opelucid-traits shine through for this Kingdra, isn't it?
It is...
Oh, right... Wait a moment...
Have you heared what he said at last, my dear? Don't throw away your hopes just now.
I'm trying.

Very carefully and discretly she gave Ventus a curious look. There was eager hidden behind those glasses... Eager to do what would be needed to get Gothitelle comfortable beside Shiva enough to make her cross the line and travel with her.

(To Ven: ) "That is...ehm, actually a good idea since just as much as you are probably interested in adopting that Kingdra, I am in that Gothitelle... However, would yoube fine with it at all? You see, I wouldn't want to put you through stress by occassional visions. Have you already worked with this species during your college time? I'd be happy to hear about it to make her feel better with me and eventually see me as her Master. Maybe. Later~" The last sentence was underlined by a faint cutesy smile on a tilted head.

'There it is yet again- that twin tailed, dualistic emotional pattern that pervades her mind.... Very strange, but unlike a similar phenomena exhibited by Nathan's apathy, it doesn't seem to have a deleterious affect on her thought pattern or behavior. Hmm....' the researcher thought, picking up the sudden distortion in Shiva's usual quisent emotional/mental state, as well as the distinct feelings of hope, expectation, and just a bare hint of nervous aniexty....  . Ventus soon turned to face them and their inquisitive glance with one of his own, before she expounded upon what caused her feelings to rapidly shift in the first place.

He listened patiently, displaying no signs of disappointment nor irritation at her desire to acquire Gothitelle for herself, for he had none of it at all for such an idea, and ended up giving content smile to show his approval more overtly and saying : "Despite my earlier reaction, it was the unexpectness and broadness of the vision that inflicted a near migrane on me more so that the fortune teller's use of her powers in the first place. Now that I'm aware of this, I should be able to spot and deaden my empathetic sense and raise my mental defenses to whether such vision occurs, especially if Gothitelle gives me prior warning, and eventually re-build my resistence to the species unique powers. Yes, I've worked with a couple back in Castelia, but the bulk of my interaction with the line was during my Middle to High School years, as I frequently sought the company of a few in  the city to help guide my path into the future, or offer me small morsels of advice if they are able to. As you know, those years of my life were......difficult for me, so I greatly appreciate the species talents and the aid they give others with them. Worry not, my friend, for I should get along fine with them."

It was for those reasons and more why Ventus isn't troubled by or despises Precognition/Postcognition in any way, shape or form like he does with other arcane and/or mystical arts/practices/etc.. They helped supported him at the time when he most needed it, and he's seen that their powers are not even remotely malicious unless its the nature/topic of their visions, so they and other Pokémon with abilities like them were not a problem with him! Well, besides the occasional headache he received from them on accident, unfortunately....
