Seeing that Ventus/@Lord Windos went completely silent and.....is she understood this right, pondered over things, she averted her Glare from Heart and moved it to the oddball of researcher. "...That goes to you as well, Ven. Don't even think about risking yourself to keep us - me - safe. Please."

Ventus perked up out of his head and gave a vigorous nod of support as his girlfriend oh so wonderfully found the perfect words that mirrored his own sentiments, giving both her and the pun lover a gracious, kind smile as he responded.

"She's right, Heart. We stand together and support each other no matter how dire the circumstance may be, so please don't forget that my friend. If not for our shake, then at least for your Pokémon, for it is as Shiva said: what would befall them without you as their anchor?"

He quavered though when the fae woman turned her stern glare on him and gave him the very same warning, causing him to hesitate briefly before sighing and nodding his head. It wouldn't do to upset the misses or anyone else with the reminder of how willing he is to use his own wellbeing to further his/the group's goals for the greater good, least of all his beloved, so agreeing with her was really the only outcome available for him...

With everything said, Heart spoke again. "...I think get going. We have a long path to go. We have friends to save."

All he says to Heart's other statements is, "...that doesn't mean you can't be a hero now and in the future.  There's a fine line between recklessness and bravery...you have a lot more you could still live for..."

Nathan quietly nods in response to continuing onwards.  He wants to get going before these Durant decide to start trying to cut them up like they did with that Slowpoke Tail...

...and Ralts is essentially family to Nathan.  Zippy is almost there, too.  And he thinks very highly of Solomon and all of his other pokemon even if they don't view him the same way.

No.

Shiva only shakes her head again in respons to Heart's words, and she doesn't allow his own glare passing her shield of ice. Infiltrating was the Absol's speciality that she currently cares for, and to some degree her beloved fluffball's too, but definitely not the PUNisher's! In a more soft and compassionate tone, she spoke up AGAIN. "Heart, you seem to miss my point. Am I not speaking loud or clear enough? I'm sorry that you lost your family as you say, but....forgive, I haven't asked for your background. Right now...there is no time for big revelation, nor is this the place to do so. Our Pokemon have gone missing, some of them at least. Without dear Slurpuff, WE WILL BE LOST DOWN HERE WITHOUT A CHANCE TO RETURN, and I'd rather not wait until sweet Tanuki finds us. It's generous from her, but only the last restort..."

"That, and who cares if you've never been a hero? Guess what, I've never been one either!~ I'm just the one who felt completely overshadowed by all of you not too long ago. To some degree, I STILL do. Maybe. But that does not mean that you cannot STRIVE TO BE ONE. I want to be one, yet I had and still have to find out HOW. But one thing even I know: It's brave to ask the others of a group to leave you behind. Bravery is a noble trait. But bravery can lead to nasty outcomes, injuries, at WORST an act of bravery was the last thing you've done before you enter afterlife. ....If you want to be brave, find out with me what a hero does - then stick with us, and fight any of that threat you'd be willing to take on alone with us instead. Alright? Please, just let us continue the path now. Together."

Heart go silent for a second listening to the words and determination of his commarades. What was the last time Heart feel in home with anyone? And they even determined to fight together against any kind of danger. Even Shiva feeling fear and Nathan not a close friend...all of them is acting to fight together with him.

A little tear roll from Heart eye. "I really a idiot indeed. I have forget I not alone. I sorry for what I say. Whatever danger is ahead: Scimitars or Bug we going to fight. Together." With a determined face he followed everyone. Time to face whatever is ahead.
