[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

(...)

The sensation and opening that her newly found love had no hangover at all came just as much as a suprise for her like for him and she couldn't help but to muster him awaitingly as if she was silently trying to see whether he was telling the truth. Eventually, after maybe half a minute of doing so, a thankful smile formed on her expression. The stars must have had mercy with him, how lucky!~ "Is that so, Ven? That's.... well, great to hear then! Have a splendid day with Valder and 'other things' then. We'll likely, uhm....see one another again later, will we?" She pauses here to give him a shy expectant glance, before it faded as she spoke up once more in a dear and a little flattered manner.

"Hehe... Sure, I... I mean, I too enjoy peaceful days, and sharing quality time with you. But, please don't forget that you-know-who are looking for the Library as well, okay? We shouldn't...delay things too much, I do hope we can search for it ourselves in a few days, let me know when you made enough cash to contribute to the costs of hirering Mr. Finder, please."(That's for the sake of her getting to him to confirm the search and make a definite contract one Day before heading into Mount Sentry)

There was one more thing Shiva would like to have off her chest before they'll exit their room, she hesitates a little before speaking it out. "Ven, dear....l-love? One more thing, I feel the others deserve knowing that we are...well....... Oh, but it doesn't have to be right away! Maybe they'll cotton on themselves, I don't know, and it's nothing uncommon that we...found one another. So many young people set out on a journey through the region, in ALL regions, it doesn't suprise me that romantic bonds are sometimes forged during these journeys. What...do you think about that matter?"

Ventus gave his most blessed of friends a warm, comforting smile and reached out to gently muss her hair to quell that tremulous worry that lingered over her fair mood. "I plan on visiting the museum myself today with Nathan after I finish up matter with Valder, so if you wish join us you are more than welcome, dear."

Her discrete mention of the Scimitars causes the researcher to frown a bit, his expression growing serious now that those wretched cabal of wizards were back on the top of his mind. "Those twisted archmage's diabolical aims for Anthenum have been far from forgotten, nor has my desire to crush waned, but I thank you for the reminder. Rest assured Shiva, when I have acquired my portion of covering Mr. Finder's I'll inform you so that we may all begin our expedition into Mt. Sentry poste haste. We can NOT allow those wretch Scimitars to gain access to the library's coveted secrets at any cost, so I will do my part to ensure that does not come to pass...."

Such a grim mood was instantly dispel by his mystical lass' question of how to handle their new relationship statuts, causing him to feel/subsequently quash a jolt of apprehension that flowed through him. "Umm.....I would much prefer we keep or union hush hush, at least for the time being. I'm still.....uncomfortable with the idea despite how much I....I love you, and the thought of being under intense scrutiny by Nathan and Heart for our affections.....that unnerves me greatly. If they discover our relationship on their own, so be it, but I rather not give them any hints for our own peace of mind. At least, not until we both have settled fully with our.....feelings with one another...."

A brief moment of silence, before Ven spoke once more, in a quiet tone that was normally an indication that something was troubling him.

"Speaking of our relationship....we need to talk about certain....things, my dear. Not right now, but tonight, after we've had a full day of respite to acclimate ourselves with our....love for one another. Alright?"

Yes, they have a nice homemade breakfast. It's in the dining room where you were last night, but the mood is different. Lots of sleepy couples, a little more self-service (you have to go get your own syrup and such), and it's not dimly lit any more. And no Luvdisc.

The sociologist orders a great big stack of chocolate chip pancakes and digs right in, as seldom did he have a chance to dine of some high quality breakfast pasteries! If it was possible, he'd also save some leftovers to share with Azrael and Raphael later, as he knew his children loved sweets, and what better way to pamper them then by stuffing their faces? His dark little angel would certainly agree with that notion, given how ravenous she was!

By the time Nathan approaches her after she spotted him lingering around for probably wanting to visit the Museum + waved to him as a greeting, Shiva has likely already finished her businesses with her Pokemon and emptied another latte. Gothitelle and her white Vulpix are still out, the near surrounding is probably a bit colder due to training her fox's Ability, but Spritzee might - depending what the book tells needs to be done for 'learning' a new scent - either be visible as well or semi-hidden linger on her shoulder, only the fae's sweet and romantic scent will hint on her.

"Oh... Well, Nathan, hi! ..... S-sure I'll tag along on seeing the inside of the Museum! Let's see...." She draws a leaflet telling about the different wings of the Museum, as they'll probably are displayed here in the Cafe, "Art interests me -" Reminds her on visits of Burgh's exhibitions with her mother, curious to compare his style of painting with whoever's are exhibited in Cress City's Museum!~ - " as well as...let's see, the wings about Telperion University and Chreshire's plantlife and its science. So, please excuse me if we have to part ways at some point, alright?"

Dragonstrike- Visit the museum again.  Let's go look at...Prehistoric Pokemon, Captain Bridge, Creshire International, and Pokedex.  Slightly shorter trip today. If Shiva (or anyone else in the party, for that matter. Remember, the museum doesn't take an encounter to visit!) is here at the same time, Nathan might end up visiting different/more exhibits instead, though.

Okay, one edit to the museum plans.  If Ventus is joining Nathan there, and Shiva accepts an invitation to join in (even if it's only for a short time) since she's hanging around the area (i.e. if both Shiva and Ventus are also visiting the museum exhibits), I'd like to also visit the Art and League exhibits.

And if Shiva's joining, regardless of whether Ventus joins, visiting the Medicine, Nature, and Telperion stuff can go on the list too.

Whew...busy day for Nathan.  We can wait for Shiva to finish her training sessions before we get to this, though.

If this is too many exhibits for the allotted time combined with what I originally had on the list, then we'll postpone my original choices for another day and just visit all these ones instead.

After a particularly interesting instructional period with Valder's more humanoid/Dexteridous Pokémon ('How in Reshirim's name could they have misinterpreted simple posturing in that manner? My my......), Ven made his way towards the Museum, arriving a little later than Shiva and Nathan. He'd quickly use his empathetic senses to track them down and join them on their tour through the museum, slightly observing all the exhibition and taking mental notes on just about everything on display (That will come in another post, maybe) . One thing was certainly on his mind after his visit: Cheshire was very much as unique and multifold as he imagined after  first hearing/doing research on the region! From its culture to its Pokémon, this nation was certainly not found wanting by him!

If Lilith was still out by his mi amore's side, he'd offer them a polite and friendly bow towards them, as befitting of her status as a Gothitelle and Shiva's friend. If Alola Vulpix was out, he actually blink a few times in disbelief at seeing an Alolan Species in Cheshire of all places, before curiously asking her: "If my eyes do not deceive me, that's an Alolan Vulpix you possess! I thought it was unheard of to see the regional variety outside the frosty peaks of its home region, but it appears I've been misinformed. Anyhow, tell me dear, how did you manage to acquire them here of all places? Given the rarity of the snowy sub-species, I imagine there must be quite a story behind you obtaining!"
