(...) Soon after, Terra returned the lady's bow with a nod of his head and a friendly smile, and stuck his hand out for a handshake.

"You are welcome. You fought very well and with great.....cleverness, and took the Strength of my partners without giving up or becoming....too unhappy. Learned much about you, yes....and I liked it all. Thank you for the match, Shiva. Be proud.....of your efforts, and stand tall."

He then wordlessly nodded to her agreement to get to the Pokémon Center ASAP, and journied back their in peaceful silence. Though he may of not a made a friend of her today, and in fact probably did a lot of harm to their fledging bond by being so adamant about Basteele's right to use Explosion whenever, Terra though that things went well with Shiva overall. Only time would tell if such developments continues...
(…)
Along the journey, the rugged wanderer was surprised for the umpteth time by Shiva at her casual mention of being a Move Tutor. This woman was just full of unexpectected talents, wasn't she?

"You are a Move Tutor....? And you are....offering to teach my Pokémon your secrets, and give them such gifts? …This is almost too much of a honor for us all....but I accept. *Stops and bows to her steeply out of respect* Thank you for kindness and.....generosity, wise woman...."

Huh, well how about that for a reaction?

She does accept his handshake for sure and is amazed how big his hand is in comparison with hers, she trusts that he doesn't crush her hand though because she just feels that he wouldn't do such a thing. This match may not have been the 'best' or most enjoyable after some point, but overall it wasn't bad and it was totally worth taking the time for! She hopes for a rematch in the future, but doesn't want to ask for that right now.

She also likes the wandering monk's presence, as otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to join the small trip to the Tea Ceremony of Kimonogirls. That, and there were evolved forms of dear Eevee to see!~ It's yet too early for her to call him a friend, but the door to that hasn't closed just because bad turn with Explosion - she just doesn't wish to bring any of her Pokemon near Basteele on free will.

But when he calls her a.... WISE WOMAN and even bos to her in respect, THAT somehow threw her for a loop. In a positive way though as she feels flattered by that for sure, it's just way too much praise that she may have accepted, aaaahhhh! In fact, after a hand gesture of 'It's no big deal!' she scratches the back of her head in embarrasement. "Get up again! >//< It's...fine, haha, but...thank you? I AM no Move Tutor yet, I'm still learning and refining my skills in that feel! But...the offer stands."

Oh right, and that Dunsparce Egg is of course given to him when he requests it. She strokes the blue and yellow Egg a little and graces it with a smile before handing it over.

Mechanics:
Terra's battle will hopefully not take too long, so I'm fine with waiting until that's rolled out to continue my business instead of flashing forward (can type it up in the background already maybe). So curious to see how my Vaporeon takes being brought to watch a graceful performance of other Eeveelutions! :>
