"Oh... Well, if you like... Nathan, you wanted to see a little more of the work here as well? In that case, I'll get going then to leave you people alone. Maybe me and Ven can already head downwards the Tip on our Metagross to find a suitable position for building up the tent. If not at the base, then maybe at the savannah or desert... I thank thee again, great eremit of the earth. May your days be fruitful and your days enjoyable..."

With that said, Shiva made her way outside the cave, eventually running into Ventus. He'd find her in a silently delighted and relieved mood, yet she desires to soon find some rest. She doesn't say a word, but gives him a faint smile as a greeting.

When Shiva exited the cave to greet the eccentric researcher/maybe recipricol crush , she initially saw a mulish look of discontent on his face, yet could also detect grudging acceptance. Ventus, despite his dogged efforts to close of his mind and ignore whatever that THING was blabbering from his blighted lips, heard EVERYTHING they He was less than pleased with his neutralistic attitude towards humanity nor the oath he extracted from his friends for his aid, but the old man did assist in the eradication of the Vines, and greatly hindered the forces responsibe for them in the first place, so while he still loathed them, he could not hold the old man in total contempt. Just mostly so. He would never trust them or what they said about 'Earthpower', for such a thing is just magic and arcane force by another name in his eyes. Even if he was 'connected' to it, he would never draw actively upon its power, and would damn it forever in his heart until his dying breath. That, he promised to himself....

Ventus, however, did managed to tune out his friend's part of the conversation, so when he eventually noticed his most blessed friend he immediately perked up and returned their smile, motioning her to join him up on his Metagross mount with a much less stifling air about him. "My friend, I'm glad that blasted elder thing did nothing amiss, and all is well and whole with you! I heard that they successfully solved the problem posed by the Vines, if only partially, so will we all be departing for Stair City poste haste, or finding a campsite at the base of the mountain?"
