While they are buying Heart decided to have a little conversation. "So here we go again in another mission. Trying to save the Region against some sort of cult of maniacs. Is this type of thing normal for you Ventus? Because if is I must confess: Join with you was the best decision ever made because of the chance to find such wonders and dangers of the world. Call me a fool, but I always have this sense of...adventure you could call. Wish I have join with you guys more sooner."

Heart then begin to make a more worry face. "Hey, do you mind if I ask you something? How you guys...is able to deal with Nathan. Because, urgh, almost everytime when we debate about something he is like...trying to force his opinion to others, you know? Remember past night when I refuse to put Grid in my party and he punch in the table? Cant him deal with the decision to others?"

e excuse I would call the League of he not learn to not use us as dummies and he to learn to control the strengh of the attacks of his pokemons if we offer ourselves for testing. I could see he barely hold himself with that Confusion attack, and thats what make me feel anger and decided to retaliate in the same coin using Rose Mach Punch. I can see now the stupidity, stuborn and foolishness of such action, but I could barely think rational in my anger. Thats is the darker side about be honest with emotions Ventus: You sometimes is carried away by them, bliding your vision about right and wrong and making you do terrible mistakes like it almost happen past night."

Heart then rage boiled a little. "But even that...urgh Nathan really drive in my nerves sometimes. Stuborn, self-pitied almost everytimes, boss around other people around him, dont trust his team members and he dont think twice to restraint attack even when we offer ourselves to test something! Urgh, he drive to madness and go beyond my level of patience. We are problably together in the same team for weeks by now (more or less) and half of that time we argue and fight other for many reasons each other, arguing and almost fisic like it almost happen today."

"Thats why I couldnt any other way to let him learn if not threat him with that thing about League stuff. I think with myself: "If he not learn by good ways, he will learn by bad ways." That was my think in that moment." Then Heart bow in respect. "Sorry to stress you with that conversation Ventus, and be looks like a trickster past night. The League perhaps was not the right thing to do, but it was the only thing I could think in that moment of loosing patience and stress."

*Flashback!*

Ventus couldn't help but let out an amused chuckle at Heart's enthusiasm about how much interesting all their lives had become, as well as their question concerning whether this was the norm for him or not. "Most would find perilous and high stakes journeys across a region to be a less than ideal way to spends one's life, but I see you have ample zest for adventure along with a passion for collecting rare Pokemon. Well, my life was never as this.....exciting , but my research took me on several trips throughout the Unova region, exploring the wilds studying all sorts of Pokemon. One time I saw an band of Heatmors attempting to devour an entire colony of Durants in rather flashy confrontation, and I've nearly been eaten by an Krookodile as I as exploring the desert! My line of research can often be beyond perilous, but I love what I do and will endevour to stay my course for however long I can safely do so....."

The researcher face went neutral as the pun lover raised his rather.....topical question about Nathan, a frown threatening to tug at his lips as he heard them out, before letting out a heavy *Sigh* and giving a weary shake of his head. "Nathan is.....complicated, Heart. He's stubborn, set in his views, certain he's more right than wrong, often insensitive to the plights of his fellow man, and its almost impossible to address him of failings or topics he disdain without serious, concerted efforts. At the same time, though, he's almost painfully socially maladjusted from growing up half his formative years without human friends and being heavily sheltered, and he handles stressful situations...... more poorly than most. He's also young adolescent going through puberty, and unlike everyone else in the group hasn't  incurred enough life experience to properly handle the turbulent pace that our lives have going at. "

"Altogether, despite how confidant and mature he seems most of the time when he's not being difficult, he's at heart rather careworn and fragile individual. He genuinely wants to be helpful, supporting us and trying his best to get along while also offering guidance......but often its constrained and filtered through his own faults, which often causes ruinous results. It doesn't help that part of the reason he's so stubborn about things is that he believe his ideas are the most 'right' for everyone in the end, and is only looking out for our best interests in his views/idea, so every time we object or criticize him it appears that we are being unreasonable or illogical and serves to frustrate him even more. Its why I have to be so harsh on him, or otherwise he would just ignore my advice or not fully understand my or our points......"

"*Sighs* .....My best advice is patience and understanding with him while remaining calm as possible, followed by getting him to meet, speak, or deal with you on your terms when that fails, and then simply ignoring him entirely and walking away should he prove too troublesome. Its okay to care for him as a friend, but if you treat him more as a loose acquaintance to which you have to put up with in order to get work done, then his attitude becomes far more tolerable, if more wearisome to compensate. .....Truthfully I don't consider Nathan to be a friend in all but the most vitriolic definition of the word, but I don't despise or hate him for all his faults and failings despite this. He's a good man honestly, but very difficult to get along unless you are on the same wavelength as him. I just learned to give kindness and care to him so far as he gives me reason, and simply deal with him as necessary otherwise. Not ideal way to work with a companion, but its the one that has work best for us thus far, so I see no reason to 'fix what isn't broken,' as it were. I would advise you NOT to wield the law like a weapon against him in the future, though. Nothing will ruin a friendship or similar like forcing them to run afowl with the Cheshire League Authority, so please don't do such things unless he does so first...."

Ven does not comment at all at this part of the , but judging by the dark and troubled expression that clouded his face during this point, Heart could reasonably assume that he perfectly understood them but did not wish to speak further on this. How could he not, with his recent.....conflict with Chandelure, and his former life as the right hand man to Ghetsis himself. '......What a fool I've been,' he sadly thought to himself.....
