[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Terra's promise to not use the words 'white Vulpix/fluffy white fox' and 'Delta Pokemon/Delta' in the same breath was a great relief for Shiva, one that means quite a lot to her and she gratefully accepted: Her arms remained loosely crossed and her stance somewhat protective, but it didn't give off that plain and serious impression anymore. In fact, fae enthusiast smiled dearly to herself. "Thank you, Terra. Really. Ah, don't be sorry though, you couldn't know and you didn't do anything wrong - if, I should apologize for bringing it up at all. But, being protective over things that mean something to you and clear matters beforehand when appropriate - it's better than having to mend things afterwards, is it....? Well, ehm... I'd guess it indeed is. Thank you again..."

.....
.........
...........You there?
I'm always there, my dear. I'm part of you.
Mental note, maybe try to keep things more simple the next time when explaining detailed things to Terra.
Noted.


Huh, Shiva found herself being mildly suprised as he began to share how he usually view things, or how he approaches matters and creates his own opinion on things/how he handles different views than his own. But, thinking about it, maybe it was something she said - nah, it probably was.

With great interest she listened how he usually follows the attitude of 'keeping things and life simple', but she wasn't too sure what to respond to him as he turned silent again. Or, she didn't quite know how to express her thoughts in words in this case, prefering to keep them for herself and only giving an accepting and soft look to this mountain of a man who happened to be her foe in this battle that hopefully made it to channel her feeling of 'This is totally fine' to him properly and enough. Doing ones best to understand different points and keeping the heart and mind open were traits that she highly valued, it adds to her developing positive image of Terra. Well done, I guess!

The idea of imperfection of a person - or, on people in general - was something Shiva could relate too as well. Something within her wanted to say 'If you could find and show me a perfect human being, I'll release all my Pokemon and take on your hard lifestyle', but she felt better with being silent and only listen to what he told. Though, having her own flaws being recounted in front of her was a bit more than hard to swallow for her, which showed as she opened her arms, put them together behind her back, shuffled her feet a little on the dry ground of the savannah and prefered to muster the thistles over him. It was all so true what he said... Apart from maybe 'reckless' as she fails to remember a moment where she's been like that.

Things softened however as Terra opened up that he accepts her anyway. This was unwillingly sweet to hear, and caused her halt and slowly face him again with a pretty careful expression. Being called a good person by him despite they haven't interacted too much/have gotten to know one another more must have hit her positively.

Her gaze remained on him as he asked whether she does understand and accept him as well, out of shyness she prefered to look at Gothy though when answering. "....I DO accept you, I'd say. I see no reason why I shouldn't from what I've gotten to know about you so far, but it's not much you have shared or showed so far and I'd need to gain a refined image of you before considering you a friend. Understanding and a hope to get to know you more is definitely there from my side however, I bet Ventus wouldn't...want it otherwise. You've been kind to me and Cottonee seems to like you already, and I'm loyal until you do something to hurt me or my Pokemon with full awareness. You....aren't giving me the feeling that you'd do something like that."
