[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

When the fair lady began acting distinctly uncomfortable/bashful after his small speech, he dreaded that yet again he had put his foot in his mouth when giving advice. Oh no. But then she warmed back up and received his words well and with kind understanding, causing him to ease up, close his eyes and let out a *huff* of relief, before he then looked back at her. He got his message/teaching across without estranging him from her......fantastic.

"....*Smiles* Thank you. *Nods* Take your time judging me a friend or not. I will wait, and I will accept your choice, whatever it is. Promise. (…) Can't speak for Ven, but that sounds like what he would want. *Nods again * I will keep that in...mind, and I won't. …Not on purpose, at least. Sorry if I....offend you on accident, or say something stupid in the future....."

The herculean man then looks thoughtful and....uncertain for a moment, before they shake his head to himself and went ahead and asked the Fairy woman this:

".....If you can accept and understand me, have you done the same with Nathan? If not....can you? He's not a bad person. Rough....complicated, but good at heart, like I said."

Shiva herself didn't really had anything more to add on this topic; she remains a bit meek but also delightful that things didn't go wrong and Terra accepts to what she asked from him. It may not be overly visible on the outside, but she does indeed have to give him great credit for this! She shouldn't feel bad about asking for her white Vulpix not being called a Delta after all, the fox belongs to her and while she can't rename Vulpix because she doesn't bear her OT, Shiva DOES have a right to determine how fox's looked at.

Terra already apologizing for any hurtful things he'd accidently do in the future was somewhat amusing for her to see, she wouldn't have thought that a man like him could be so...soft? Careful? Watchful to by no means do or say anything wrong? Haha... A good trait.

She felt taken aback however as the wandering monk asked THAT, which showed as she simply stared at him in wondering and confusion. W-why does want to know that?? The more she'd ponder about it the less it'll do her well, so after a heavy but respectfully impercible© sigh she decided to just be blunt about it. "I do accept him as a vital member of our small traveling group, if that's what you're asking, Terra. We're stronger and better when together, we all matter in a specific way. Not a bad person per se, no - you're right on this. Understand - I'm doing my best to do so. I'm taking care to not treat him differently, don't worry. I'm there in times of need. However, he has done things, whether aware or unaware, that to me someone who's a friend wouldn't do, l....like, well... hurting my feelings and prying when I would prefer to be left at my peace. I have a hard time trusting him again, if he wants to restore things, he has to work on it. If he doesn't...well.... let it be that way then. I'll wait and will still be there for him when he needs me." *indifferent shrugging as if she's simply too good to be bad or reject things*

All of that was said with a rather calm and lower voice, but given how she prefers to look at the few trees and the thistles with force it's rather obvious that talking about makes her uncomfortable and is by no means easy for her. In fact, a quiet sniffle escapes her as if it hurts her to deal with that.

"I don't wish to talk more about this though, or emphasize things, please." Clear words, but they're said in an honestly pleading/asking tone than an ordering one.
