(...) 'Ugh.....Ven was right. Shiva's......mood is.....fickle, and her disappointment.....makes me feel bad. No wonder Nathan looked so.....nervous around her. Need to do something, to help her feel better...'

After pondering her words for a few more seconds, the rugged wanderer turned to face the fae lady, and slowly nodded his head. "....You are right. Yes, you can be with me Shiva. ...Will still be with Nathan, though, so......are you fine with that?"
Please don't let his comments backfire on him.....

Shiva was still busy with stroking Raphael but she did notice when the mountain of a man faced her, that was when she looked over to him as well, hearing what he had to say as a response to her request.

She sighed impercibly at first, before soft-surrendering and putting on an agreeing weak smile. "That's fine. Yes, thank you... Maybe, whatever... Maybe, or, eh...hopefully we'll find time later to do things together or hang out or anything." That's all.

Doesn't seem to feel much better, but it's way better than nothing and she doesn't feel like elaborating further. For a moment she felt an urge to screw it and go back upstairs to her dorm, but that'd be the coward's action - Shiva didn't want to choose that way anymore, plus it'd damage things more than necessary (which she knew for sure)!

Onwards then to Lapis!


Shiva IS bothered by the rain and prefers to stay under a black umbrella with Raphael by her side and Tanuki on her head/in her hair, unlike Terra and unlike Azumarill who even found joy in dancing around and making it rain EVEN MORE. Eeeeeeehhhh!~ Finally she gets to spend some time around sweet Master again, even will head on a cave adventure with her! The fae rabbit seems to be quite aware that Master was valuing her a lot on such trips due to her sporting the physical strength Master was lacking, so no way she'll gonna disappoint her - a quick hug of confidence shared after she fully materialized emphasized that, yes!! THIS swiftly elaborated Shiva's deceased mood quite well.

Azu is mindfully avoiding Terra's closure/is taking care to have Shiva between her and him, she hasn't forgotten that freakin' and deafening explosion that hit her the last time they battled.

Though when that big and long and precious and *add more adjectives* Milotic was summoned by the wandering monk, Shiva couldn't help but to stop in wonder and GASP, being pretty caught by that grace and beauty Milo send out so EFFORTLESSLY. She's never gotten the chance to be so close to an exemplar of the species, nor even meeting one! Upon him saying his version of 'Hello' to them, figurative sparks were flying and Shiva instantly understood why some people argued for Milotic being banned in Pokemon Contests.

She meekly looked over to Terra while Azu was carefully offering a summoned red rose to the waterly serpent, as if to silently ask whether it'd be really okay to stroke her forehead. She'll only do so if he/Lapis himself allow! "Such a....precious Pokemon.... With a fitting nickname....~ How long is he with you already? Have you helped him evolve?" *eager raising of her voice* "Oh, you....You HAVE to tell me at some point how he evolved and what you did to help him on that and what it was like, okay? Please!! If you're...from Hoenn, have you already participated in a Contest with him for the experience or is that not your thing?"
