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

[Dragonstrike]

...Heart's stare just makes Nathan want to slip into the farthest corner of the room possible.

Man, Nathan must be really bad to be even intimidate by Heart. The situation is quite serious. Shiva, your call girl.

Like I said, his self confidence is SHOT.  In shreds.  It's repairing, but...well, you've seen the effects so far.  He flinched in front of Shiva.  Was incredibly nervous about Ventus being around Orthros (who he needs to keep around so he doesn't fall apart completely since Kirlia's still napping.  It's doctor's orders.  Seriously.  He needs to have a pokemon he completely trusts around him at ALL times when he gets like this).  Doesn't want to be around Heart at ALL if he's just going to be subject to more aggression/scolding.

In short, he's basically reverted back to what he was like when he was being bullied and teased on a regular basis: incredibly timid.
