*a few last coughs before she caught herself again* "Everything's fine. Ugh.... Don't, eh, mind me too much... The simple thought of finding sleep like that is a little beyond me, but it's understandable if comparing how we grew up and what we're used too. Don't worry, really!~" To wash away any remaining confusions/wondering/concerns Terra may have, she does grant him a light and honest smile.

'The stars tell stories' - that sentence of the wandering monk Shiva does greatly enjoy, and she couldn't agree more which was indicated by her smile growing a bit more warm. She doesn't comment verbally however as her mind wanders high up into the clouds to dream herself to the starry skies. Haaah, being back at the surface and under the sky again was a good feeling indeed.

The thistles are investigated by Shiva with much interest, but she doesn't believe that any of her Pokemon would want to eat those.

Not too much time for things like that now though as there's a battle incoming! As for own preparations, two Pokemon appear in semi-privacy but nearby: An elegant bipedal fox whose fur resembles the robe of a wizard, and a female-looking figure held mostly in black and white that reminded on a goth lolita. They both gave out a feeling like having full trust in Shiva, and the air just around them almost brimmed with psychic energy. With a silent hand gesture, the fox took a deep breath and began a melodic chant that softly rolled over the whole scenery, filling everything from the leaves on a nearby tree to the dusty ground with a sense of luck. The other Pokemon remained completely calm, but she gave a highly concentrated appearance she dared to take a look into the nearby future, hopefully seeing a landing wave of energy on the foe's side.

"Hm....Okay then. Sorry for.....fussing about it. Its....hard for me talking with other people well sometimes, so I worry a lot about what I say to others." If all was really well with her, he could drop his own concerns, but the least he could do is inform her WHY he got that way to begin with. Communication is key, even if he's not all that well adjusted to it!

Any lingering doubts of offending the fair lady cleared away when she offer him several smiles from then only, which he returned with characteristic subdued stocisim, and simply enjoyed Shiva's company as he finished his breakfast, pondering about her as he did. 'Shiva...…..she has a good heart, shares it with others very easily, but seems.....sensitive. A very nice ….delicate lady....I'm glad that I can be her friend.'

'....No wonder Ventus loves her so much. Both seem to balance out each other, and make them better and more....complete than separate. Hm....hope they get back together someday....and that I don't screw that up and get eaten by boss' Dragons, *Shivers*...or worse …'

(I think preparing a Future Sight Attack sorta breaks the rules of engagement, as its an Attacking Move that could potentially be used to Alpha Strike one of my Pokémon without much chance for preparation or retaliation.)

Terra had already prepared his own Pokémon before hand, so he didn't have any of them out as he took his place on his side of the stretch of savanna that would serve as the battlegrounds, arms crossed and looking calmly serious. He had already decided before hand to give himself a big handicap in order to make things more fair on the Fairy woman (as unlike with Nathan he could see/tell by now she wasn't nearly as combat orientated) so he felt that keeping his choice of Pokémon secret was fair too in this case. Of course, given that he didn't recognize either of her Pokémon, besides one was a Fire type and the other a Psychic, he didn't have that much of an advantage over her intel wise.

That doesn't matter in the end to the rugged wanderer, though. The only way to truly gauge an opponent was to fight them yourself or see them in action, after all. It was opportunity he was quietly anticipating as he stared at Shiva, patiently awaiting her finishing making her preparations so that their match could begin in earnest .
