[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Still Flashback, evening of Day33!

"Awww!~ Lucky you, dea- Ven, indeed..." Of course this earned him an very rare bright smile, right after being pulled into a delightful hug with her playfully using Nuzzle against him. "Another Tandormon, even a rare species..."

"How neat... Nathan got that beautiful shiny Unfezant, I got a graceful Vaporeon, Heart got..." No, she didn't want to think of a Scyther right now and worry herself and at worst the others! "...a Mudkip, I spotted Valder enjoying the swampsite with Haunter, and YOU got that beautiful rarity of a grassy Pokemon... Maybe, uhm, it was a good decision to directly to the swamp instead of searching for Route 10...? Eh... D-Doesn't matter, take good care of her, and you HAVE TO do a friendly battle with her on your side 'gainst me sometime later!!! When we're less busy saving the region, that is... Okay? Pleeeeease!"

Shiva was way too close and kept on staring directly into his eyes while her own hidden away behind glasses barely managed to conceal the same sparkle they had when she encountered that playful-mischievous Vaporeon. She'll keep him in the hug until she got an answer, not minding that some of the muddy stains might transfer to his sweater!

Ven's breath almost hitched when she nearly returned his term of endearment to him and gave him a surprise snuggle, but he quickly managed to surpress the reaction and any emotions before they could become apparent to them, and silently returned the hug with a somewhat nervous smile. Shiva's next remark pleasantly startled him too, as the decision to forge through the wretched humid swamp was even more of a positive decision than he first thought it was. 'That loathsome boy got blessed by Reshirim and captured a Shiny Unfezant, Heart obtained a rare and timid Mudkip, I convinced an extremely rare Quetzoral to join my family, and Shiva has even persuaded a Vaporeon to join her team! While our journey was spurned resolving a crisis, it has been a fruitfull one for all of us already thus far,' he initially thought, giving the mystical lass a nod in response.

Her desire for a friendly spar with him and Lilith, however, was an entirely unexpected, but none of the less he was able to easily respond to her eagerness, along with giving them a light chuckle and an affectionate head rub. "Their is no need for the Baby Doll Eyes, dear, for I'm more than wiling to have another delightful engagement with you, anytime you wish. Well, not now of course, since I imagine we are both exhausted from our slog through the swamp and its inhabitants, but perhaps when we reach Arrowroot? How does that sound?"

(Ven's said all he going to say about this conversation, so I'll let you finish the conversation/Flashback!)
