[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

The researcher, instead of startling from being asked the deceptively simple question, tilted their head in slight puzzlement and looked at them with a thoughtful frown.

"Yes? At least, I assume so.... I DID see an Almanac product in the Department Store that....unnerved me somewhat, but I had thought I had overcome that by now.....?"

If Kirlia scanned/read him while reciting his statement, they would find he was being completely honest with them, despite his earlier behavior indicating that tension they  and Nathan saw. Perhaps Ventus was....unaware of his earlier reactions? Strange....

"...you sure? You seemed tense there for a moment.  I don't see anything around here, though...besides, if something were to jump us, I've got some of my strongest pokemon on hand.  They'd be flattened before they knew what hit 'em.  Or burned to a crisp, or confused, taking a nap, soaked, shredded..."

It's kinda weird for Nathan to say that all so casually.

"...anyways, probably about time we headed inside.  Dagny's probably waiting already."
