Shiva did not flinch away as her Unovian gothloli-Pokemon did something that felt like an attempt to comfort her. That hand of hers on her shoulder - it touched her deeply, she wondered whether it were the stars that have different plans in this matter... They haven't left her, they were providing their aid to her even during the day, it simply was an invisible guidance that strongly lives by believing in it. Believe... Trust... Hope? Very carefully and without looking up, Shiva does extend her hand with the brush pen to very softly onto give Lilith's hand on her shoulder a gentle stroke if she alllowed as a response to Lilith's action.

Still, it did little to ease her in-chara disappointment. She did things right, she was sure now - she didn't get what was wrong and that was giving her a headache.

Or.......Was her new Cleanse Tag a kind that simply disguises as an ordinary piece of wood with weird painting on it, while the power lays within?


Whatever it was, Shiva doesn't know, and maybe a minute or so later she let out a not-so-impercible sight and allowed herself to fall backwards onto the grass to take a look at the tree tops and the sky marking her ceiling. Mother Nature wouldn't leave her alone, she was always there to provide warmth and comfort - even now.

A small handgesture was enough to call her dearest fluffball to her, carrying Spritzee in her fluff around all the time. Seeing how...weirdly mixed her sweet Master was feeling, Cottonee blinked a few times as her prankful mind was processing what may have happened - eventually, she'd place herself very close to Shiva in her arms, allowing strokes and cuddles as much as necessray to ease her mind a little again. Silently, Shiva accepted and soft-wrapped her arms around Cottonee and Spritzee.

"Dear ones, we'll stay here for a little longer. (Note, that means until dusk) I like this place....and I need to sort myself, to some degree.... And most of all, it's confusing. Lilith, please don't wander off on your own. Or at least warn me before you go, alright?"


Shiva's current Pokemon on hand can enjoy what they enjoy doing for the rest of the daylight. Shiva herself will simply lounge around here, thinking over things, listening to Braixen chanting peacefully to her, doodling runes and flipcharts in her journal, maybe visit the shrine of Celebi by the end of the path she's residing at at some point for paying tribute to this precious Pokemon.
