[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Nathan has a dead serious look on his face as he turns to face Ventus, Shiva, Heart, and Valder, Kirlia standing by his side as usual.  That 'shouldering the weight of the world' feeling is back once again...

"Forgive the formality, but I need to know for certain.  Before I continue, can I trust you all to not breathe a single word about this to anyone without my prior approval?  This is sensitive, need-to-know information.  If word gets out, it could cause a panic.  Or worse, completely ruin any chance we have at stopping those vines."

Kirlia would know if any of them made a half-hearted promise.  Nathan didn't think that would be a problem, but he had to be sure...

The researcher raised an eyebrow at both the implications/information of the boy's kindly refuting his apology, and it rose even higher when they all but made baltent/tantamount with him making the group swear an oath of secrecy before he would enlighten them. Unfortunately, though, their was a limit to how far Ven's professionalism went, which was made quite clear when he lightly frowned at Nathan and looked mildly annoyed. "I do not give my word lightly Nathan, and I rather not bind myself to an agreement I know scant about other than it pertains to those loathsome Vines. There is also the fact that you could have de briefed us of your prior meetings with Dagney earlier, even if only at the last moment before we departed to the gym, but instead you kept this knowledge to yourself until a crisis arises. If you trusted us so much, why not speak plainly on the matter or simply giving us the relevant detail instead of swearing us into secrecy. As you should be well aware, such faith is other is a two way street: to get, you must sometimes give. "

Ventus let Heart's scathing comments go unopposed, as he was in no mood to rescue Nathan from critisim he most definitely deserved. He was hardly in the mood to speak with him, let alone work along side the bastard, but the needs of the many outweigh the few, and he definitely was not letting Shiva go off on her own in this endevour...
