[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

*****************

Seeing Ventus so...calm during that dinner felt like the ultimate proof that he was alright and was NOT overdoing it with alcohol, all of that did a fine job to visibly and detectable rejoice her. The 200$ he handed her without asking or even pondering only added to that, she couldn't help to hold his hand and give it a dear squeeze in the means to express some deep thankfulness. ....He'd be 'happy to help you grant it and more', though? Huh... She's not quite sure what he meant by 'more', and replied to that with a somewhat suggestive-confused look for him, before she turned to that Luvdisc again. The blissful joy increased to some degree and her smile only grew as she handed the full 500$ to Cherie! "Can I also burrow that fish tank to have it in the room with us? I'll retrive it tomorrow morning. ....I can? Ayyeee, thank you!~" Shiva will let Azumarill carry the tank, as she and her Huge Power will have no problem with that.


The food was incredibly well and good quality, and rather soon it was time to head upstairs again. Along the way, Shiva still had that delight surrounding her, but the nervousness Ventus has waved goodbye too was somewhat coming to her now. Faintly and subtle, but it was there.

Back in their room, Shiva had Azu place the fishtank on the table beside the bed, next to that phone. She couldn't help that smile for the lovely fish coming back to her as she took a seat on the bed and continued 'stroking' it by letting the tip of her finger run over the glass and a few times even feed it some dried berries, delighted over earning some joyful responses from this Luvdisk. She'll probably register Luvdisk to a Ball tomorrow. "We've paid for you, dear one... I hope you'll enjoy coming with me - us - and make good friends with me and my other Pokemon. I own several Grass Types and even a pair of electric rodents, but they're all dear and loyal to me. No need to be afraid! I won't drag you into battling either since that's not your purpose, maybe only once to see what potential you hold. Alright?" (Does Ludsic react in some way to that, Iron?)

Though when Shiva retrieved that handful of dried berries from her stuff, her hand touched something plushlike that she was well aware of, somewhat impercibly sighing over it while these warm feelings that had nothing to do with Luvdisc per se, but also with... Eventually, she turned her head to wherever Ventus was currently in the room, looking at him almost wishfully, and patting the free space of the bed right beside her. She gave him a coy yet dear response as he did, before she slowly averted her gaze to look at the one hand of hers that was resting on her lap, while the other was still near the fishtank. Eventually, she spoke up to break the silence in a rather sot and quiet tone. "Hehe.... Uhm... Ven, I guess I haven't said 'thank you' to you yet for coming with me. This room wasn't too cheap, but I wanted to be here with you... Can you, well, imagine, why this is so?"

She awaited his answer, looking somewhat timid and nervous yet confirmed, and by all means not 'uncomfortable'.

As Shiva reached forward and gripped his hand as a sign of gratitude, Ventus smoothly and easily lift her's and placed a kiss upon it, favoring her with a sweet yet ever so slightly mischevious smile, and stopping just short of roguishly waggling his eyebrows. A bold gesture to show that her joy was well received, yes, how could he not cease upon the opportunity she had presented him so? That, and he felt a like teasing affection wouldn't hurt her at all~

Once his Clawizter Claw was brought to the table, he waited until the server was gone before practically tearing right into his meal, breaking past the shell and right into the succulent meat, dunking it into the butter, and then devouring it with a gusto! It had been far too long since he had any quality Pokémon based meat, so he was going to make up for it by extracting every last morsol from the Clawizter Claw and savoring it all! Yum Yum Yum!!! Didn't stop the empath from glancing up from his meal every now and again to shoot his crush a smile, completely oblivious to her nervousness due to the alcohol in his system numbing his extra sense. Oh well, at least he's not worried she's worried, right?

While Shiva was busy properly introducing herself to their new Luvdisc, the slightly drunken researcher went back over to the mini bar and fixed himself a Peri's Black Russian, taking a tentative sip of the beverage and smiling as coffee, cola, and vanilla vodka flavors came together to form the perfect after dinner drink. He wanted to ensure that he kept himself pleasantly buzzed and insulated from his former stressors and festering negativity, so one last cocktail to slowly put away over the night wouldn't hurt too much, right? Besides, he and Shiva had Antidotes just in case, so cheers mate!

His drunken contemplations were interrupted when his most blessed and cherished crush beconned him to her side, and so with a serene smile he glided over and took his place right beside and right where he belong, his mixed drinking in one hand and the other by his side. The fae woman's timid thanks and her question was meet with a thoughtful, questioning look as he pondered it over, taking another sip of his PBR as he did so. Then, a rougish smile appeared on his face as he smoothly replied, leaning closer to Shiva as he did so.

"Hmm.....if I'm allowed imagine anything, I would say you wished to propose to me. A evening of luxury and fine dining, followed by popping the question and a night full of cuddling, yes? Am I right, dear~?"
