Ventus himself was pleased and joyful for the boy's accomplishment despite himself, and soon bustled downstairs to congradulate the boy for his epic win against the Steel Wonder! "Nathan, that was a stupendous performance! You and Dagney were almost evenly matched, and several times I thought she might end up prevailing despite your hard work, but you refused to be set back at all and beat her handily! Excellent, just excellent!" As for Kirlia's Look, he wholely ignored it while also reinforcing his mind to the point that the psychic dancer would have to make an VERY noticeable effort to get a peek at his emotions. He might be aware of his.......animosity towards that demon dog, but he doesn't need to learn anymore about it, right? The kick boxing shroom evenly return their nod with a respectful one of his own, as it was only proper to acknowledge you equal if they did the same.

Once the boy declared it was time to head to the Shelter, the sociologist gave him a smile and a nod of his head, before motioning for them to follow......but not before issuing a rather.....loaded statement. "Very well, let's make our way there. Oh, and would you mind having a.....chat with me later at the Center? After hearing your explaination on Celebi and your tutorings on reading Old Unown, I've had the urge to pick your brain ever since, so would you humor my insatiable curiosity again Nathan? "

FB!

Kirlia just quietly sighs to himself, then puts on a polite smile.

"...scraped by with the skin of my teeth in that battle.  Ironic though that the Steel Wonder only used a single Steel type move that entire time, though.  But then again, I guess Steel isn't exactly known for its offensive prowess typically, is it?  Wouldn't have been able to break those defenses if everyone hadn't contributed something..."

Ventus's request to have a chat later is hardly a surprise to Nathan.  Ah.  There's the gut feeling not failing him.

"...alright.  Now then, let's...*sniff*...get going.  What better way to celebrate a victory than by picking up a new friend, right?"
