[Lord Windos]

Next and probably last step before continuing the path to the village was resturning the fishing rod to Ventus. As soon as she found him, he got it offered back in a faint yet honest smile. "Here. Thank you for lending it to me... I had decent luck with it I guess, but nothing worth catching. You, em, doing well? You look a bit pale..." No, Shiva won't ask why or what has happened. All she wanted to know how was he was doing, and she'd notice if he'd lie.

Ventus, after 'awakening' from his lengthy mediations to find that he had both a great (If HIGHLY discomforting) idea to mend things with Nathan over Swiftfire's Lethal Run in the Ninjack AND a extremely valuable hatchet in his lap with Lucifer on his shoulder giving them the most excited/expectant look they've seen in ages, was in a more than pleasant mood. So much so that the empath was humming to himself as made he way back to the group, Lucifer in his tweed sweater munching on his second apple with a look of pure content of his face, while Lilith was busy taking in the scenery/watching for any threats coming their way. Nobody was going to get the drop on her and her teammates if she had any say about it, hmpt!

That's why when she saw Shiva approaching her trainer she nudged him with one of her wings, quickly getting and redirecting his attention towards the mystical lass with a raised eye ridge, and getting a thankful nod and a headpat from Ventus. Accepting his rod back with a beeming smile and putting it away, the empath listen to his dearest friend thanks, saying to them: "No thanks are necessary, for I'm always willing to lend you hand in any task my dear! Hmm....well, angling is often a sport of severe luck and patience, so don't be too put by not reeling in a interesting catch." Her next question, though, caused an expression of surprise graced his face at the note of concern he heard/detected from her, causing him to promptly place a hand on her should in a sign of comfort and support.

"I'm in perfect mood and temperament this day, so please don't fret over my emotional wellbeing dear! I've just been consumed by my thoughts for most of the evening and reflecting on my journey thus far through Cheshire, so I'm sincerely sorry if my distracted state caused you undue worry...."
