[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Only when Nathan has finished his phone call Shiva brings her attention back to where they currently were - on one of the streets of Cress City, heading to the Shack dedicated to Trading Cards !~ The more and more she thought about them, the more curious she grew about them as well.

That means, by courtesy she hasn't heard a word from what they were talking on the phone, but if she'd have to guess, it was probably his mother who called, for a reason that she cannot and doesn't need to know. But from how Nathan was staring at the Pokedex somewhat...stunned? Confused? That was probably it.... If she wasn't mistaken, there was even a tad bit of an intrigued hint on his expression. Huh...? She replies to that with a wondering expression on her own, tilting her head and pondering whether she should ask what's wrong, before Ventus already beat her massively. She'll let him handle things, and as Nathan ran off to the Center as he said, she couldn't help but to watch him doing so while her adult mind fails to definitely understand what may have caused this unexpected fleeing from them. Did...they say or do something wrong?

Seeing Ventus heavily sigh and shake his head with one hand on it didn't help either, but at least her dear oddball of sociologist seemed just as puzzled as she was. He simply showed it more openly. Hesitating a little because of the Misdreavus by his side, Shiva eventually caught Ven's attention by gently pulling on one of his sleeves, looking up to him mildly confused as he turns to her. "Ven... I know it's probably none of my business, but...you have any idea why he now ran away? It surely was his mother who called, I hope she's doing fine... Shall we just continue our way to the Shack? We can still meet him at the entrance, I guess."

Alolan Vulpix is still by Shiva's side, not super-obviously visible though but instead semi-hidding behind her legs, if Ventus would like the sensation of the fox now.
