[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

On route to the Center's caferteria by himself (Or with Shiva, if they choose not to edit their post), Ventus soon discovered where his sister Apsis had wandered off too: she was right by Nathan's side while he was working the PC, with Kirlia hovering around looking like he was constipated! Relieved and highly curious, he approached the odd gathering (completely ignoring Shiva/Kirlia in the process), giving his giant snake a surprise hug (Which she recorporated after the shock wore down), before giving her a firm, pointed stare. "Apsis, I know you enjoy your independence and self suffiency among our family, but please for the love of the Tao Trio don't wander off like that without informing either me or someone else in the group. The last time you did so you nearly got sliced to pieces by those Ninjack, and while I hardly think harm will come to you here of all places, I don't want you putting the staff and its people on edge. *Sighs* Just don't worry me like this again, alright my sister?" (I'll leave the reaction up to you, Iron!)

The sociologist then turned to the boy with a half friendly, half strained smile and gave them a polite bow. "Thank you for looking after my sister while I was asleep, Nathan. I'm curious as to how she found herself in your care in the first place, but I suppose it doesn't matter in the end, so long the both of you are fine. I trust she didn't cause any trouble while I was slumbering?"

(Guys, you could have waited on me to make a post, since I planned on having Ventus encounter Nathan while getting Breakfast so that Shiva DIDN'T freak out over Apsis being loose. I don't typically complain about being left behind all that much, but in this case I'm a bit annoyed...)

(Sorry 'bout that!)

Kirlia notifies Nathan that Ventus is incoming.  And Aspis as well, for that matter.  Nathan's response is queit.

"...no...no trouble...she, uh...came to find me...well, I think she smelled food first, but...she, uh..."

Nathan's...not quite sure how to put it in words.  It's just so...strange...

Kirlia looks slightly grumpy at being ignored completely by Ventus...before giving Nathan a curious, confused look again.  His emotional state is all over the place still...and yet none of it is fearful or worried as far as Aspis is concerned?

...huh?
