[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

*moar toneless sobbing and shed tears, but she's capable of speaking in full sentences still*  "T....thanks, I guess?" *whipping an eye* 'Just as strong' - was is that what she was subliminally after? She didn't quite know, but one thing was for sure: "I don't feel like standing behind and outside of the the light anymore because I'm not as strong as I want to be, even if I'm not at all a natural battler or anything, sick and tired of it..."

The ground is pretty interesting to watch actually, as she doesn't face Nathan or anyone in the party directly.

*Insert Nathan's Speech Here*

The boy's speech + quotations about the unique and individual strength of Pokémon and the ethics of those viewpoints earned them curious, ponderous look from Ventus that he hide behind his cheerful demeanor and smile. Instead of commenting on those points, though, he just left his dearest Shiva to give her opinion while he filled away this Insightful tibit for later. With Nathan still in a taciturn mood and being mainly focused on lauding his fae friend's grand accomplishments, and the ever so slightly distasteful fact that he has a 're-schedualed and re-vamped' chat concerning Shadow Pokémon tonight with him, the empath frankly didn't have any desire to converse with him right now. He'll just enjoy this splendorous moment with his dear, trusted friend for now, and save his Strength for that most likely dredful talk in the near future....

(...)

Arrrrrghhhhh! When did Ventus came so close so suddenly ? A-and when did she level-up from his 'dear' to his 'dearest'? Of course this and his heartfelt praise caused some some shy blush emerging from her inner, she couldn't help it but she didn't want to make it obvious, so she leaned into and returned that sweeeet and tight hug of his, practically burrying her face into his green tweed that was always so comfortable to touch. Haaah... She'd thank him for his prasiewith a kiss especially, but currently she was too busy with sobbing in delight. How lucky(?) for him! Plusle and Minun were thankfully accepted as well and are free to nuzzle their Master as much as they wanted, as Shiva does happily and thankfully return the sentiments! "My, Ven, th.....thank you...! oh well. Oh you again!~"

Thei Pokeballs are accepted back as well, and Shiva packed them away for now while keeping the Electric rodents right there on her shoulders, one mouse of the pair on each shoulder. That grin of Ventus ALMOST caused her to dart right there into his arms once again and cuddle him once more, but this time she restrained herself while she was drying some more tears with that tissue while trying to hide the blush that definitely came up now once again.

The mentioning of COTTON CANDY, which Shiva also knew a Fairy Floss, caused her to stop mid-movement and stare at him again, at first in a wondering expression - before it grew completely innocent, sweet and sugary, just like a Swirlix. "I-I happily accept your invitation, my dear! Hummmm~ B-But, can we head to the GPC first, please? I'd like to give my...fainted Pokemon to one of the Nurse Joy in duty..."

The overaffectionate (Or perhaps not affectionate enough? Hora Hora~) and estatic researcher could only beam with unbridled joy and experience some partial amusement at Shiva's flustered yet never the less reciprocating reaction to his hug. He mused her hand with one of his hands as she buried herself into his sweater, looking down upon her with a happy, content, and simply......fond smile on his face, though when he let her down it (the smile) reverted back to its previous festive form!

"No thanks are necessary, my dear! In fact, I should be the one thanking you for giving us all yet another splediforous moment to celebrate together, so please, accept my deepest gratitude for this!"

For a second he thought/felt that his mystical friend was going to return his previous affections with Huge Power, but was relieved? (disappointed?) when she opted to calm herself down instead, though that didn't stop him from letting out a couple of chuckles at how bashful she looked. Sometimes (Well, most of the time [Or maybe not at all?]) , he forgets how sensitive she is to his more kind, caring, and/or tender interactions with her, but he can't say he doesn't enjoy it all the same.

His grin only grew brighter as both she and Heart accepted his proposal to share his sweet, sugary Swirlix, clasping his hand together and simply saying: "Excellent! Let's us make haste to the Pokémon Center then, so that everyone and their Pokémon may feast and be merry for this occasion!"

Order: Head to the Pokémon Center with everyone else, then bring out the Swirlix for them and their given Pokémon to enjoy! Also, change in Party line up: He'll be storing Hanael in the PC so that he can hold his Black and Blue Egg and check on it/carefully cuddle it for the night! Progess on Magnemite Eggs too?

Afterward the fun is over, he'll walk over to were Nathan sitting, and wait for them to bring up the topic of last night's conversation if he wants.
