Well...maybe not the very next post.  The day's not quite over yet.  Nathan's waiting just outside that back room with Kirlia (I guess this happens before Raphael is handed to Shiva).  He also stopped Heart and Valder on their way out (but didn't say why to them).  The two of them are waiting for Shiva and Ventus to finish up.

Ventus is probably surprised that Nathan's waiting there.  Maybe everyone else is too.

Nathan doesn't say a word at first.  Kirlia walks up to Shiva and gives her a firm, assured nod of his head, very similar to the one he just gave Nathan.

He's ready.  They just need the Dawn Stone now to do this.

"...well, anyone up to see this?  I doubt it'll be like anything you've seen before.  Should be worth the time."

Kirlia also looks at Ventus.  Yes, he'd very much like it if Ventus was present for a particular reason...

Kirlia also looks at Valder.  He also would very much like it if him and Theo were present, but for a different reason...

*Flashback?*

Ven's….fairly surprised that Nathan was willing to include him in ANYTHING now, but if they both wanted him to bear witness for whatever they had planned....

The researcher mulled it over only briefly, his expression indecisive and uncertrain…..before he slowly nodded his head, not trusting himself to speak lest he yet again spoil this occasion with the errant wrong word.

What could they have in mind for him at this point....well, only one way to find out, right?

Heart was really sad but he give time for Shiva and Ventus. "I leave you two alone. Again, thank you for everything Ventus..." Still with sorrow Heart wait outside and give space to them to talk. He then be stopped by Nathan. With a simple nod of his head Heart talk to Nathan. "...I guess...I very much sad now, but show that already Nathan...before...you know..." Then Heart take his time to wait. His eyes already red from crying.

Wow. Talking about be depressed...

And this one goes to Dragonstrike.
---------------------

A suprised as Shiva was, she didn't show it and instead chose to AVOID looking at him, her expression becoming neutral. She wasn't even changing her reserved attitude as Kirlia came directly to her and Nathan shared WHY he was waiting there, but it made her understand.
Letting out a held breath in an impercible sigh, she drew that she has once found, and steps forward to simply place it in Nathan's hand before she hesitantly spoke up. "There you go. But....do excuse me as I am NOT in the mood anymore to... *energic headshaking* witness a delightful moment today.... Nor tomorrow..... Have fun evolving your psychic dancer and making his dream come true.(This was meant honest, not sacastically) But... Remember what I told you, asked you for in return for this stone. So far, I haven't seen much of that promise. You BROKE my trust and tested my patience a few times too often DESPITE I've been there for you when you needed it..."

"If you want it back, you have to work for it. My trust and care is earned by generosity, accepting my barriers and showing care for me and those I care for myself. I'm sorry but.... but......... Good luck. Ven.... I'll wait upstairs for you. Don't let me....wait too long, please...."

With that, she left them all, a defeated expression now on her. Cottonee loyally followed her.

After Shiva leaves, Nathan quietly shakes his head in response to what she said and mutters something incomprehensible under his breath.  Shiva broke his trust a little too, and she's by no means completely off the hook.  Trust is a two way street, ya know.

Nathan looks at Valder, Ventus, and Heart.  "...well, let's get this started, you three.  We're gonna have to go find a large space to do this.  Gonna have to find a quiet place outdoors to have enough room.  Celebi Park will probably suffice (there's nothing inherently 'magical' about the location, and it's peaceful and not super populated with humans).  If any of your pokemon in particular want to watch (I'm fairly certain Malphena does), then you should grab them now."

It's fairly apparent why Nathan wanted a large space once they arrive.  With Calam, Swiftfire, Zippy, Princess, and Juliet (currently disguised as Kirlia), that's a lot of room that's needed to accommodate for them.  Mostly because of Swiftfire.

Alright, so who from Ventus and Hearts' pokemon might want to watch this evolution?  I'm assuming Valder is both present and has Theo out (partially because I'd like to do something with the two of them soon after the evolution is done. Making that assumption is fine, right?)
