[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan jumps almost a foot in the air when Shiva gives him that greeting.  Gah!  When did she...?

He and Kirlia have to take a moment to catch their breath.  Orthros is looking a little guarded...though Nathan does pick up on that quickly.

"...it...it's okay, Orthros...gah...don't sneak up on me like that...Shiva...*huff*..."

Orthros relaxes a little, though he's eyeing Shiva carefully...and...quizzically.

Nathan also looks REALLY tired.  Almost as bad as back in Stair City.  Except now Kirlia looks almost as tired as Nathan as well, as opposed to him looking just fine back in the city...

"...you, uh...still have...*huff*...that egg I found...right?  Kinda want...to carry it myself now..."

For several reasons.  Shiva's comments from yesterday still stung quite badly, after all...and it didn't help that she was still pricking him for something he didn't actually say...

Kirlia perks up slightly at hearing he might be able to help.  If yesterday's battle with Heart was any indication, maybe, just maybe...

Nathan's mood isn't really improved much by Shiva's current comments, though...he just slowly, sorta reluctantly nods...
