[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

However, it's not like Shiva (who'll likely notice first) or practically anyone knows about you having picked up flowers, and everyone deserves to do their own stuff from time to time without comments from the travel companions, not carrying how strange it may be. Just my call.

That's why I phrased things the way I did: Nathan's waiting for someone else (or everyone) to catch up, hanging with his pokemon and picking those magenta flowers while he does so.

The flower thing is just what's going to lead into Masq's introduction (and it's unlikely these exact circumstances are going to be available again soon).

Remember, Ventus only care about Nathan in so far as much as he's a member of the party and the one with the most intel and great chance of fulfilling the Prophecy to eradicate the Vines, so whatever he does beyond that is of no interest to him unless it impacts either thing mentioned previously. The only interactions Ven will have with them one directly relevant to the mission at hand or whatever ones you force yourself, as he wants to minimize conflict/talking with you as much as possible. If Phantom flashbacks to that scene and decides to notice what's up, then Ventus will start to pay attention, but otherwise he's just going to let your chara pick flowers without a care or thought in mind!
