[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Noticing Kirlia's worried attention on Ventus, Raphael glided over to land by their side and  turned to gave them a reassuring chirp + smile. They were ready to put the brakes on any......adverse reaction their master may or may not have and calm them down, so no need to fret! Well....maybe a little bit, but a burden shared a burden halved, right? Apsis, who had until now been keeping to herself, decided to give Nathan a sullen look at them being so pessimistic/down, still not quite happy with them despite her master dressing her down for her aggressive/spiteful behavior, but eventually the let out a hissing *Sssssigh*, before lightly nosing them to get their attention, before looking over at their master. Perhaps the both men could keep themseleves tied up so that the chance of them doing something stupid is truly minimized, *Hisss?*

Kirlia still casts worried glances at Ventus.  That hadn't stopped him before...

Well, Nathan doesn't plan to do anything stupid, really...if this man is who Nathan thinks he is...the last thing he would want to do is get on his bad side...best try to focus on something else right now...

"...thank you for helping Kirlia, Aspis..."

Maybe this time, she'll accept the meat Nathan's offering her.  That oughta get Ventus's attention...even if it is completely unintentionally since Nathan's not quite sure what Aspis is trying to tell him and Kirlia's too preoccupied to help Nathan with that...

Nathan's also still holding Orthros to keep warm, but there definitely shouldn't be any problems with that since he's KOed, right? Nathan's holding him reeeaaallly close, though...
