Post I am refering to

Kirlia quietly listens.

N?

...wait, Kirlia's heard that name before...

...Shiva leaves the room soon after that finally clicks for Kirlia.

...now he understands why Nathan was so worried...that 'similarities' bit coupled with the name was all Kirlia had needed to hear...

...

...when Shiva returns with the tea, Kirlia's quietly sitting next to Nathan again.

He's trying to process things.  Trying to figure out how he can help Nathan now that he understands the cause of the worry and inadequacy Nathan was feeling last night...

...he's not sure he can, unfortunately...

...so he just sits there, waiting...thinking about that and what Shiva said...

He knows when Nathan will wake up.  And that he won't be nearly as worried as he was last night...

...

That little bit of guilt is back.  Kirlia wonders if he made the right decision in the long run...

True story, that small stroll to the GPC's precious and valued Cafeteria to get both a Sitrus Berry Tea (completed with sugar and a cookie), the third cup of coffee of this morning for Shiva (for the way to the Shelter) and a sugar cube for Spritzee to consume was a very welcome way for her gain a tad bit of distance between herself and what actually happened just now within Nahan's room. While the fact that she could have joined Team Plasma if she wanted and has followed their activity and anything concerning N, leaving her with that up-looking/fascination/awe and emptiness within her young heart after he disappeared actually were not real 'bad' memory or thing she would prefer to not have gone through in her so far life, but unexpectadly being dragged into a thing that'd remind her of him had a bittersweet, saddening taste to it. She'd probably had to cope with it first, starting by stroking her new Fairy under the beak after offering that sugar cube to her, which triggered a scent of lavender incenses.

On the other hand, Shiva had no real idea what would happen and how things would continue IF dear N would actually return, least of all how she'd react. But she FORCED herself to come back to the current planet and not ponder over this as it'll very likely give her headaches, worries and confusion among the joy. Enough of that, she's tired of having her mood dragged down by a run-in with Nathan, so she'll just bring the cup of tea into the room and then get off.

As she did so, she figured out that Kirlia was beside his Master again, very quiet and probably progressing all the information she has given him - Shiva gave him nevertheless a small smile - but it came with a look that clearly meant that she's serious about what she pleaded him to do and think about: Just let this issue be, it won't lead anywhere if worrying too much over it. Easy to say, but it's better this way. Nothing compares to sweet, pure and innocent N, and nothing ever will.
Before Shiva lef the room however, she unwillingly sensed that...clear hint of guilt coming from the psychic dancer again. She has picked it up earlier already, but wasn't sure about whether it was really what and how she thought it could be, because Nathan leaving his journal unattended was just too out-of-place that he'd just happened to forget packing it away. Turning around again after having withdrawn her hand from the door handle again, she faced Kirlia only to sigh imoeribly and walk up to him again, giving him knowing(?) shook of her head followed by attempting to softly pat him on the head. "My, it's obvious to me that you're thinking about what I've told you, are you? That's good... Just, well, make sure that Nathan's okay when he wakes up and gets what I've been advising you. Just for once, let it be. The past is gone but the future is ours to form, that's what they say, you know. You also don't have to feel too guilty for putting him into more sleep with your Hypnosis, if that's what you did... But make sure to now overdo it with your care." She withdrew her hand again and made another attempt to leave, this time more eager to pull it through. "I guess we'll see one another again," *sipping on coffee* ", 'til then."

With that, Shiva has closed the door, took a few deep breaths in the means of calming herself on the way through the GPC, and determined to find back her spirits and some distraction mader her way to the Shelter for her last day of working there before eventually... Tropius and Nightshade can spend their time on the green roof again with one another and the other Pokemon from the Shelter, but only for a half day today. "I don't quite know when we're visiting this place again, you two, so enjoy your free hours to utmost again before I'll be picking you two up again. Please don't give me the shock of wounds caused by the barbed wire then, alright?~"
