(I thought you said you weren't going to raise the issue first, Windos...*sigh*...)

Nathan reviews the notes Ventus made.

"For reference, Ventus, Tanuki personally recommended Combee and Tropius as pokemon to bring, among others.  Ralts and Gustav have Heal Pulse as well, so that can help save on medical supplies.  Do we have the funds between us to afford additional medical supplies for those who need it?  Oh, and as far as Delta Onix goes, that's partially why I listed Ditto.  Don't have to deal with the disobedience if Ditto is the one doing the tunneling.  There's few other good options for tunneling besides doing it ourselves, which would take awhile at best even if we have the proper gear."

The fact that Ventus openly referenced Aspis's hunting is...not appealing to Nathan, to say the least.  He doesn't comment out loud, though.  He also raises an eyebrow at the comments concerning Braixen...

As for the Heart thing...Nathan just doesn't comment.

"I have noted her advice, Nathan, but that does not invalidate my own assessment on Zippy, Princess, and Tropius. Do not be mistaken that I don't trust Tanuki's advice on our expedition into Mt. Sentry, though. I've just made my own opinions based on my experience as both a Pokémon Researcher and a seasoned individual in field research, so what I consider recommendable will differ from her viewpoint. We can agree to disagree on those points, however, so let us not quaral over this. Good points about Kirlia and Gustav providing additional healing, and Ditto Transforming into Delta Onix is a brilliant idea, but that still requires Heart and potentially all of us to deal with the original's Disobedience if necessary, and leaves him down a Pokemon in practical terms unless he get them to listen to him more often than not. Heart, what is your opinion on this? As for Medical Supplies, I personally can afford either Two Revives or a Max Potion, or several Potions/Super Potions on top of contribution to the Mr. Finder Fee Fund. Speaking of which....."

Ventus pauses to reach into his sleeve and pull out $2000 Poke, and hands it over to Shiva with a friendly smile on his face.

"Here it is, as I have promised. If its necessary, I can pitch in another $1000 Poke to the fund, though I would ask the others in our group to fulfill at least one of my recommendation in regards to Medical Supplies in exchange."

The researcher had to resist rolling his eyes/scoffing at the young scholar's persistent adversion to his poisonous sister's eating habits, as by this point they should at least be inured to the idea. That's certainly the case with his tolerance towards Orthros (however grudging ,fearful, and understanding he is about it), so why can't they afford to do the same? Especially since Apsis halfway considers the boy to be a friend of sorts...

Their raised eyebrow earned them one from himself, but since he didn't know what it was raised towards, he choose to leave it at that.

Hearing no apology being issued by the boy, the empath honestly couldn't find himself surprised, given the boy's stubbornness and being immune/hostile to criticism in most circumstances. He didn't hide his wearied disappointed disapproval from them, expression wise or emotionally, but otherwise he kept silent...
