Well, she somewhat expected and therefor was able to prepare herself for a positive reaction from Ven, but the reaction she eventually received was pretty hard to top.  Actually, it was about to reach the same level of joy, content and happiness that she went through as Azurill was shining with that precious PRECIOUS blue light... Hehe... If she wasn't already blushing from that intense/sweet/overjoyed/*more adjectives* smile of him, she certainly and obviously was to an intense degree as he lifted her up and congratulated her, practically bereaving her of any ability to say a word or move as she simply returned his gaze and took all his praise. It didn't matter though, as she was  enjoying sharing such a moment with him if she was and remained honest with herself, as she could sense these joyful-anxious feelings coming up again... Only a matter of time, indeed.

Therefor, she was unable to give him a proper reply on his plans to re-celebrate and simply gave him an appreciating and thankful look to this idea of his while her mind and emotions practically screamed 'Splendid idea! Cake!! Peace!!! What more could you want, my dear?! ' at full volume, causing Shiva left to smile  faintly and look forward to this... Things are dire, but who would deny them a moment of not-worrying-and-desperately-search-for-a-solution? Such moments reenergize, and energy to move on was more valuable than gold at the moment...

After having now HIM gratulated on his success of Potion-Brewing (she couldn't help but to chuckle to herself at the thought of Ven brewing stuff with a kettle and an open fire, carefully adding ingredient after ingredient before an Eureka!-moment occures), she simply listened as to what he himself experienced yesterday's night, and the more the told her, the more her smile and warmth and joy got lost into the haze that pestered the swamp outside of village, making room for a feeling of being...exhausted. Sad, maybe worried. Yes, actually kinda worried. A very very bit of impatience as well, as Nathan clearly told her he's doing fine, when he seemingy was not and again decided to shoulder everything on his own without even having to do so... It took a while until she replied to Ventus in a lower, more serious tone. "...Yes,  we can and should pay him a visit once we conducted our business here and found a trader for our Pokemon. We all need to discuss what to do next now that we arrived at the village anyway. *sigh, she didn't even cared to hold it back* Is it just me, or has he not really learned from the last time a similar thing occured? My, my..."

Whoops, from all that asking questions and pondering about the Southern Wind she must have accidently forgotten that Professor/Reverend Cottonwood was offering them trades of known and popular Starter Pokemon for their Carnivine and Pineco.
 Good thing Ventus brought her back to earth by asking her a question, which she only realized after having stared at him for a few moments in suprise. "Huh, excuse me? Ehm , which one...caught my interest... .... ...I'd actually enjoy to have one of your bred Chikorita. You coincidently have a spare female exemplar on hand? I enjoy how this Pokemon can calm others by the sweet scent and probably taste of its leaf...Females are known to do better on this, yet unintentially, presumably due to natural pheromones they emit during the warm seasons. A Bayleef' shed spicy leaves are incredibly valuable for brewing, but I sadly am unsure what an be brewed how with them, as I only found half-truths and rumors on this. A Meganium is such a beautiful Pokemon, Ven, isn't? Calm, yet proud and being able to both restore deceased plants and health... It'll certainly be helpful if I start growing my own arrangement of herbs, flowers and berries."
