[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Oh! Pleasantly suprising it was for Shiva that she didn't need to remind Nathan of her request to inform her about these unknown bugs, she briefly frowned before she turned to him with an interested look, curious to listen. She also drew her cell to rename the picture of each bug with the respective name of the species; once or twice she had to ask for clarification, but in the end every single one of the six pictures featured the correct name! Now she can't forget them anymore. 

"T...Thanks, Nathan! Glad you were able to help me on it.... Look, some of them I even managed to catch. Not all, but at least the small fireant - 'Smore' - *coy chuckling because she's still amused how this bug is named after the campingsnack*, thise one with lightbulb as a tail - 'Harylect' - and my favorite, the smaller version of it, this 'Tricwe'. Such a cutie, and from the whiff of pheromones I got when I got close it, it's pretty likely a female exemplar. Of Nimflora I already heard somewhere, it can pollinate and nourish plants which the Cubbug offsprings then use as a food source, aww!"

She was just about to admire this bugfairy a little more, when the handing-back of her boots stopped that train of thoughts. She wordlessly accepted them back, quick-examinated them for any damage or remaining hive gunk *ugh*, before........shoving them back into Nathan's hands without really looking him in the eye. "W-wear them for a little longer if you....like. You're freezing, and might catch a cold if you're not keeping yourself warm." She perked up and mildly crossed her arms, probably to try overplaying her own awkwardness. "I do want them back sometime though please! The wool cost me 800$ at the store, if you break the boots you're owing me just that much."

Azumarill tilted her head curiously as Shiva then made attempts to leave. "Let us get some rest then, Azu... Eh, yes, we'll see one another in the morning then."

Interesting that Shiva caught a few of those bugs.  He does wonder what happened to the other three...but decides not to dwell on it...he also wonders how Shiva learned about Nimflora...he doesn't recall mentioning the species to her before...just Cubbug...or did he mention Nimflora already?  Hmmm...he can't quite remember...

His own train of thought is rather quickly derailed before he can think about that much further, though.

Nathan blinks in surprise when Shiva hands the boots back to him.  "...uh...thanks...yeah, I'll try not to damage them and pay ya back if I do...I'm...rather familiar with just how...expensive Baashaun wool is...see ya in the morning..."

Oh, and I almost forgot the music.  This place is giving me Chargestone Cave vibes, so...
