Still somewhere in that hug, she shoots Apsis a friendly and respectful look, silently trying to tell her that she doesn't desire to 'compete for his (Ven's) affection with her, as she feels that he has enough within his heart for both of them.

Soon, she carefully loosened the hug, ending it with a thankful smile for Ven while keeping eye contact, she seems to desire speaking something out but she struggles to find proper words. All she managed to say was a soft "Thanks.... Ven, I guess I simply was a bit...overwhelmed by waking in this cavern, I'm already missing the daylight a little. I'll come to you when I'm not...feeling too well, as you asked me to long ago." She averted her gaze again, looked down a little embarrased over her random-hugging him. "I'm sorry for interrupting you during breakfast, dear...."

The poisonous python only response to Shiva's olive branch was a dismissive roll of her eyes and an unhappy huff, before she studiously ignored her from then on out. She was NOT going to be friendly with her main source of competition by being given such paltry offerings, so cease your friendliness, *Hiiiisss!*

Ventus, on the other hand, was all to receptive towards his most blessed girlfriend's plight, sharing with her a delicate smile while he brushed a few strands of stray hair back into place. "No need to thank me, dear, just doing what I felt was right. Yes.....the claustrophobic, damp, and lightless environment of these tunnels were easily on the nerves and mind, so keeping oneself stable can be a challenge if they are not experienced or have immense resolve. I have faith you'll acclimate to this environ before too long, though, so worry not Shiva. If things become too overwhelming, then its like you said: I'm always willing to help..."

He let out a slight chuckle out how bashful she had become over her impromptu hug, reaching over to mussle her hair fondly to show that he didn't mind such a thing at all now. "Well, it would be nice not to be surprised mid bite, but otherwise I don't mind what you did dear. Maybe I'll interrupt a meal of yours in the future to get even with you, though....." he said, the researcher's voice becoming teasing towards the end as his eyes twinkled mischeviously at her.  Oh boy, that'll be fun, hehehe....
