[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Yes, he did.  And that had been building since Arrowroot.  Before that, even, but Arrowroot was where it started becoming a problem for him.  There were warning signs.  And Heart only compounded the problem instead of solving it.

Context is important here, Spirit.  That battle was just the last straw before Nathan cracked.  He KNEW an Extreme Speed from Raphael would likely end that battle, that he couldn't really contribute to it any more at all, and that he probably wouldn't get attacked if he didn't fight back.

His contributions to that journey to the cave were minimal in his view, consisting of Lucky Chant and putting together the puzzle pieces everyone else had dug up.  Nothing super meaningful for someone who usually is directly involved in the action himself.

Ventus would be of the opinion that Nathan more than pulled his weight, with his help in fending off the various Pokémon along the way to The Tusk , his knowledge/reasoning ability to finding it in the first place, helping with the Southern Wind ritual, AND negotiating with the Eremit to resolving the crisis in Stair being the main examples he would bring up in that argument. He's still somewhat irritable that Nathan shut down in the middle of the fight, but he's willing to forgive and 'forget' since the main purpose of their quest still was accomplished, and nothing ended up amiss for their inaction. My character's not totally without sympathy to their plight, after all......he's just mostly so at this point, unless the boy's cup runnith over with problems, so to speak.
