That icy-cold aura of hers has thawed to some degree, but it'll certainly come back at a given opportunity... Maybe it was just to overplay the fear Shiva no doubts felt, an intuitive reaction not unlike an injured animal that has been cornered.
At his request to rather wait for the other to return, Shiva had nothing to oppose against that as she damn well knows how bad it feels to be left out in things and discussions, so after a quiet "Alright. I hope they'll be back soon and that nothing has gone amiss...." she turned silent, and opted to pass the time by playing with Dizzy, Yena, both and watching the two Dark Types playfully chasing each other over the campsite. Doing so brought back some of her positivity, it even allured a very shy smile from her.
Heart was the first one that eventually returned, which caused Shiva to avert her attention to her which in return enabled Yena to snatch the big Noctowl-feather directly off her hand to contently gnaw on it. How he managed to find more of this goo were interesting news to her and she was relieved that more assumed Solosis are far away, but she had nothing to add concerning this and reassumed her business until Nathan would return.
Which he did soon enough, and from the first glance it was clear to Shiva that he was NOT pleased. There was anger in his gaze, neatly mixed with sadness and tiredness - what has gone wrong, she wondered with a worried frown?
She found out as Nathan began to share to them all what his questioning of the small Solosis brought to light - HOW SHIVA WISHED SHE HADN'T. The idea, imagination of having no will and being beraved off all emotions apart from the distinct and raw desire to keep oneself alive - it was as having no soul at all, and it was something that she, being a person with a vivid pool of emotions and pictoral imagination, held equivalent to being dead. One look at the tiny Psychic Type was enough now to give her a COLD shiver running through her whole body, it made her tremble in fear, sadness and caused her to huddle up at the spot. Nathan's thought about there being a possible way to reserve this state was met with another, wondering frown as to her all hope was lost for that Solosis, Shiva's way more interested in doing ANYTHING POSSIBLE that a similar state does BY ALL MEANS not meet her or her Pokemon. Or rather, anyone in the group.
That shock from Ventus' side, quickly followed by that icy yet firely and pitchblack HATRED was also suffocating for her and her developing own empathic traits, but to her own suprise it didn't scared her as she'd agree that these Scimitars deserve NO BETTER. It was...new to her however how wrathfully her love was capable to become.
At first, Shiva replied nothing and prefered to listen as the others were sharing their thoughts and intentions, all while making her own thoughts and mulling over how to express them. There's no denying anymore, they HAD TO deal with ''em' rather sooner than later. How Shiva will react when it comes to that...showdown, she doesn't know. It won't be pretty though, for sure.
Carefully, she raised her voice in a serious manner now that it has been decided - next step was actually deciding HOW to approach 'them'. "Fine. In that case, I....... well, agree that we should tackle them rather now since we're having the opportunity to do so with that Solosis - Let us make a plan then about HOW to do so, everyone. So, Solosis will bring us to 'them' - shall we attempt to ambush them for a suprise attack before 'they' even know what's happening? As soon as we're close enough, we could have our two Absol and my Furret overwhelm them with a well-placed Quick Attack, giving them barely a chance to react to the fight. I could also have Lilith restrain one of them with a Telekinesis from a safe spot before we attack, or do so mid-battle."
She perked up and halted a moment before she continued. "Ah.... You, Mr. Finder.... Me thinks it's better if you DON'T participate in that for sure hard battle, please. It's more safe, as without you we're practically lost down here, so I'd prefer if you'd please stick close to us while hiding in a secure spot in the darkness until we're finished with ''em'. These are...just my thoughts though, how does that sound to you, what do you think, are you having other ideas or would prefer somethingelse?" With a worried look towards him, she awaited his answer. It's obvious by now that she's concerned for his safety, and that she does care for him.
There was one more thing that flashed through Shiva's mind: These gauntlets of the Scimitars - would they still 'work' under a Magic Room, casted by her Gothitelle? Would it have any effect? (That needs you input please @Iron, as Shiva's opposed to try it if it's certain that it won't have any effect. What does her intuition tell her about this, more like 'It's worth trying' or 'No, it's likely that it won't do anything'?)

To Shiva: "...this isn't the first time humans have tried...and just about succeeded...to turn pokemon into uncaring, almost emotionless tools, Shiva. I don't think this is the same thing, but it can maybe still be reversed if they're exposed to a Legendary power related to emotion or memories in some way."
"As for how we approach this...if the Scimitars are still tracking us, they'll know we're coming in their direction. Ambushing them is unlikely to be something we can plan for in advance."
To Nathan: "In that case all we need is to caught at least one of the Scimitars and interrogate until he spill everything about that brainwashing Pokemons, simple. But since there is no authority to call and it is dangerous to let such people escape we must consider the killing option. I don't like myself, but we must survive. At all costs."
