Despite the comment is spoken out more quiet, Shiva does pick every word of it since she concentrates on doing so, but she doesn't like what he's saying too much, and that sideways look is returned in a still worried expression - Shiva holds the eye contact a little longer than normally, and mentally sighed before she optes to answer in a just as quiet tone, looking back to their 'foes' again for once.

"Nathan, you want to...BATTLE these creatures? That must be a bad joke, I'm sorry for not laughing at it. I know that we have to travel in this direction, but if a longer path, self-dug at worst, will keep us safe, then I'm all down to follow this safer path regardless of how long it'll take.... This is not the time nor the place to play hero, Nathan. You're seeing these Geodude... What if......you know?" These last few words ting with a clear scare between the lines, she didn't WANT TO imagine THIS scenario, and she's already pre-damaged by having dealt with a lethaly wounded Plusle early at the journey and with a Pineco falling down a tree. A cold shiver ran through her whole graceful body before she continued speaking her mind... "You're sure that's a good idea? What if....it backfires and we.......... A Carbink isn't worth it. Nathan, what would your mother think and feel if something 'bad' happens down here, how would Ralts feel? For once, please also imagine the consequences for other people than you - My dad's not the type who would be against taking a risk if the reward is nice and feels worth it. But...if the risk's too much to take and it all comes back to you, how would you feel? How would....Ventus and the others react if we return more dead than alive, we have most of the journey to the Library still ahead of us.... Really, I don't want to die down here. Most of my life yet awaits to be enjoyed."

Another, heavier sigh escaped her, for she knows how hard and frustrating it can be to convince Nathan otherwise once he set his mind on a plan. "Fine.....FINE. Dear Reshiram above, if you want to engage in trying to defeat these stony Pokemon, do so. I....... I can't let you do so alone though, even despite our differences and issues it'd be simply mean to leave you alone... But, it'll be at your risk and you'll owe me something. I.......Damnit, I'll let Tropius face these Geodude and attempt to take on their leader with one more Pokemon of mine. A-Alright? Please tell me that you know what you're doing here, Nathan."
