[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Orthros sniffs the air heavily. He's happy that Ventus isn't here.

He's never met Kyuu, but he's definitely interested in a cat Pokemon! He takes a step toward Kyuu, who does not change his wide eyed expression, but sidles behind Shiva. Orthros IMMEDIATELY backs off.

Kyuu plays with the Aprikorn nervously but does not retreat farther.

Shiva and Nathan can feel Orthros' naked presence: a hound looking for a pack. His eerie brain throbs as he looks about the room for those pack members, someone he can run with and fight with and defend territory with. His senses alight upon Starmie and Calam - yes, these are his family.

He sniffs in Shiva's direction. She can tell that some of her own fear is automatically reflected in him. If she feels loyalty, he will feel loyalty. Fear doesn't bother him, in fact he enjoys it a bit, but she can tell he's not feeding on it the way the nightmare felt.

Suddenly Kyuu vanishes. Orthros vanishes. They both reappear just about instantly. Kyuu looks exhausted, but he's chuckling as if he just thought of the best game. Orthros is wagging his stubby tail furiously. If anyone could sense Orthros' loyalty (which is 4), it would be a psychic type. Kyuu has gone from a scared child to a shy child, still clutching Shiva's skirt and the Aprikorn, but now looking on with interest.

Orthros gets closer to Calam until they are touching flanks, then he waits for someone else to make a move. His behavior is very doglike despite his horrifying appearance.
