[Lord Windos]

The rays of Morning Suns she makes visibly sure to catch up as efficiently as possible, she literally felt like their warmths was crawling through her clothes and skins to reach her inner. After a little, she carefully beckons the archangel down from his flight towards her, where she's envelop him into a kind and fond hug! A shy and thankful nuzzle is also shared, Shiva does enjoy his soft feathers tickling her cheek. "Thanks, Raphael... Your aid is much appreciated. If you...could repeat that procedere one a day for me while we're travelling down here, you'd greatly help me. Please. I...do own a Pokemon with the same skill like you (Nightshade/Cherubi), but I've left her at the surface as she wouldn't enjoy this environment at all."

Since Iron didn't make any comments to the contrary, Raphael readily agrees to Shiva's entreaty, hovering over to give her a comforting nuzzle as if to promise everything will be alright for her in the end. Things might be rough and tough now, but hope and happiness always manages to shine on through to the end, like the sunbeams they create with Morning Sun!

The Morning Sun does feel pretty good, even this deep under a load of rock.

Mr. Finder guides you to a campsite, using his Growlithe's Rock Smash to take a quick shortcut around some belligerent-smelling Graveler. Geodude ducks out to go talk to them, and comes back while you're setting up.

The campsite is wide enough for five or six of your ridiculous camps, and is made of stone rather than earth. It doesn't look like it's changed much in centuries of time, aside from one or two new tunnels. "We'll be taking the north tunnel in the morning," said Mr. Finder. "Still no chances for Rock Smash to save us any time, but there are some a few miles ahead that I'll have to sniff out when we get there."

There are interesting carvings on the cave wall. Lots of Elder Unown carvings, all too eroded to read at all. There are some Delibird etchings, all calmly facing the viewer. On one wall near the north tunnel is this symbol:

, clearly done in the same crude style as the tablets. Each of the birds is holding a Caterpie in hand.

He had no problems with the path that Mr. Finder had planned for them to take, so he only gave them a singular nod of his head when they brought it up

After a loooong and tiring (in multiple ways) day through the tunnels, Ventus couldn't muster up the energy or interest to particularly care about the cave wall carvings, and simply let the rest of his group investigate and chatter about it while he set up camp and got dinner started (a hearty stew, in case anyone was wondering). He would remember to grab several pictures of the entire cave wall, however, including the mural. The reasoning for his is while the Elder Unknown were too eroded for them to read, technology from either Dagny, Tele. University, OR Dr. Mallorn's lab could potentially enhance and uncover their meanings, and even if they didn't documentation of significant findings such as this was only proper!

Bermite comes out with 1 Happiness, 0 Loyalty, and 2 Disobedience.

His headbutts now are grumpy. He smashes the basket! He tramples the food and the fluff and is headed for the tent when Shiva is forced to recall him.

Ventus resisted the urge to face palm and let out a telling *Sigh* as the Bermite his girlfriend caught acted in predicatably in the worst possible way, before he looked towards Shiva and said: "First thing you should do is discipline them, and teach them that acting like they did is unacceptable. Otherwise, they'll continue to rebel like such and cause you problems both on and off the battlefield.

Beyond that advice, the researcher left his fae fancy to handle their new Pokémon as they saw fit and prepared himself for the second night shift. In a huge place such as this, it would all be too easy for a pack of viscous cave Pokémon to surround them if given the chance, so he must get some rest so that he can be viglient enough to prevent such a outcome!
