Well, a good ol' outdoor table oughta be a nice place to continue this scene, right?

That giant cotton candy Swirlix Ventus purchased is HUGE.

"...that's...a lot of sugar..."

Kirlia's already reaching for it to try and grab just a TINY bit...

"...Kirlia, you should ask first, you know."

Kirlia sheepishly retreats...then gives Ventus a rather pleading look.

Yup, he definitely wants a sweet, sweet snack.

"Indeed it is," Ventus simply replies, gazing upon his gigantic and fluffy purchase with an air of sastifaction and delight, before he released all his Pokémon on hand to bear witness to the scrumptious treat as well! When they (Raphael, Apsis, Michael, Lucifer, Haneal, and Abaddon) fully materialized and got a whiff/sight of all the mouthwatering and tasty Swirlix, the empath gestured with both hands towards it with a pleased smile on his face.

"My family, I've purchased this confectionary treat for all of you to enjoy, and to commemorate our brother's Abaddon and Michael's dazzling victory against Dagney! But that's not the only reason I bought this, my dear family. No, this is for all the hard and often arduous work you have undertaken on my behalf, for the sweet and beautiful moments we have shared on this long journey of our together, and as an offering for all of us to do far greater in the future. Enjoy......"

After he said this and witnessed the reactions of his Pokémon (All yours, Iron!), he turned to address Kirlia almost Baby Doll Eyes level stare at him and let out a fond chuckle, before reaching down to rub their head.

"Go right ahead, Kirlia. You certainly deserve it too, so enjoy it to your heart's content. On that note......" he said, trailing off as he looked over to Nathan's direction and gave him an inviting look, before gesturing at the Pokeball on their belt/wear he stores them and at the sugary Swirlix.

"Feel free to release your own Pokémon to take part of this celebration , Nathan, and grab some yourself if you want. As you can clearly see there is more than enough to go around, so don't feel reticent to accept my offer."

Regardless of their answer, Ventus eventually comes over to the boy's side and away from his Pokémon, watching as they dine on sweets until they couldn't any longer.

".........This, Nathan, is why I became a Pokémon Researcher. To explore, understand, and experience the bonds and social interactions of Pokémon. Its truly humbling and wieghty to know that so many beings both care and depend on me for everything , to be so utterly responsible for them and all their needs......but its heartwarming moments like these that remind me why I choose to happily undertake such burdens. Don't you agree?"

".......What's on your mind too, if I may be so rude to ask as well. You wished to speak with me about last night, so why not now?"

He said that last comment after a brief period of silence, with an abrupt casualness that could turn heads. Looks like he's in a good enough mood now to get start on THAT conversation.
