Phew... So his....Nidorino *another, this time less intensive wave of cold shivering hit her* was doing fine and he was working with this creature to keep it under control? That...that certainly eased her pinned down fear of him (Caesar) by a little and caused her mentally release the breath she was unknowingly holding. Toxins, massive strength, an agressive potential - even without the incident she cannot forget that easily despite it's so long ago Shiva would hold quite a respect towards evolved male Nidos and would do her best to stay away from them if possible. "That's...certainly neat to hear, Heart. Thank you..." That was all she had to say to him concerning this...sensitive issue, she fell back into comfortable silence, listening to what he others had to further say with attention while silently making her own opinion on the things spoken out.

Sometimes, she was wishing she too would be able to voice her thoughts as easily and freely as Heart and dear Ven did, and just in this moment she couldn't help but to silently admire them for such a trait. On the other hand, she was unsure whether she'd enjoy being like that, simply being able to talk more freely and without hesitation or lots of time to ponder over which words to choose in situations like this... Oh the shadows and the background, it was so comfortable yet DARK there, why was the world so loud and fast? Somewhat nervously and downcasted, she began to stroke through a stand of her hair with one hand simply to have something to do.


....In the end, she opted to agree with Heart that they ARE a group, and if anyone would urge for a solo-run they'd do better to simply leave and follow their own business. On the other hand, if felt wrong in her personal view to begrudge Nathan for his decision to not inform the others about what he wanted to do, mostly because it was a thing only he could do and she can certainly understand the desire of wanting to do something to help dear Mesprit, the desire to have this sweet feeling of accomplishement - was this something that'd make one a...'hero'? But she also cannot scold Heart nor Ventus for thinking the way they did, that does feel wrong as well to her. However...nothing has happened, everyone is some sort of fine and Mesprit was free, that's the more important thing, wasn't it...?

...My dear, please just stop mulling over it or you won't be able to fall sleep tonight, alright?
Shiva just ends up holding her head in silent capitulation and agreement to this advice, and still does so as she watches Heart leave the room, earning a wondering coo from her psychic cat.


Some moments after Heart has left and Ventus has spoken up again, she caught Ventus' attention by tugging at his sweater. "Ven... Can't we just leave it here and head to our dorm as well?" The tone of her voice was calm, toneless and almost pleading, and after having said these words she silently moved closer to him - but NOT to kiss him or similar, he has no reason to flinch away from her: She simply wants to make sure that ONLY Ven does hear what she said next. "We can still ask Valder/@Nylon later to please enlighten us on what he and Nathan have discussed, maybe he'd do that if we turn to him."
