[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Oh, but Shiva also noticed that worried glances from Ventus. Now to...think about it, she pretty much knew WHY he gave her those glances... One part of her felt sorry that she put him into distress/fear for her being, a very small part praised her for such boldness to follow her own curiosity instead. Luckily, LUCKILY nothing bad happened! For now though, she'll stay close to the familiar dark oddball of researcher and gently took his hand to hold it in hers if he'd like, simply to show that she's there, safe, unharmed and next to him. She even faced him with a faint smile and tilted head for a few moments as if to SHOW him 'Look! I'm alright!'.

Ventus gave her an unamused, still quite worried, but now much tense/stress look that plainly told them: 'We will have words about this display of reckless behavior, Shiva....'

Heart was almost red in rage. "So you sir was the one who sent that Pokemon to attack us huh? I hope it was funny for you, because some of my Pokemon friends faint because of your Pokemons, and there is other thing sir: No one, and I say, no one threats my friends with some hellish ambush." Heart was really piss of with that guy who sent the pokemon. He was some position he would attack the old men with or without pokemon, but he dont because of one reason: He feel the power this old man have and is a old person. But he is going if needed.

"Mesprit is not a very pragmatic Pokemon. It cares nothing for how pressing matters might be. If you're not ready for Mesprit, there's no other way to force it to help you. Likewise, you have no hope if you must fight me, eh eh eh!"

The empath bit back a sigh and resisted the urge to grind his teeth, as while interacting with magical/'magical' practitioners in any way other than 'unpleasently' was like pouring salt and lye into an open wound, it was a necessity at this point. That, and contrary to most of the mages/archmages he's had the 'good fortune' to encounter, this old man was answering their questions in a rather straight forward manner and acted affably enough (if slightly eccentric/irritably, but that may be just Ven's opinion) , so speaking with them shouldn't be too bad....right?

"I don't believe we received your name, sir. Would you give us the honor of reveling it to us, or would you prefer it remain unknown to us? On another matter, the reason we have journied to the Tusk is that Stair City is under assault of a tenacious Vines that have emerged from the Skull Ruins nearby, and we seek your aid or advice in halting their advance and/or eradicating them. The city doesn't have long for this world before its completely subsumed and destroy by this invasive threat, so ANYTHING that can help us put an end to them poste haste would be a boon to have, if you can provide it."
