Now its Terra's turn to be surprised, as what Nathan said about Wallace caught him off guard too.

"Wallace...is the Champion? Of Hoen? *Shakes his head* ….Never knew that. Meet him through Lisia, and she never said that about him. Only said he was family, and brought him to meet me to help me with Lapis Lazuli. *Smiles* Taught me lots about him. Gave me advice on how to make him more beautiful too. Nice man....but never knew he was Champion. *Shakes his head* …Wow."

It took Lovely nudging him and trilling a soothing note that snapped him out of his daze, causing him to shake his head and dispel it the best he could and continue answering their question. Quite the task, consider the metaphorical bomb the boy dropped on him, but he pressed on.

"*Shakes his head* No. After her......debut, decided not to risk it again. Didn't want to cause.....that much trouble again. *Shakes his head* Cost me lots to pay for damages, so didn't want to go broke too. Or jail..."

…

"*Shakes head* No. Heard of her, but never meet. Still doing well in Contests last I checked, but that is all I know, *Shrugs*."

...aaaand Nathan's somewhat surprised again.  Aside from Alder, Wallace is probably the most vocal about being Champion given how much he loves the spotlight.  And the spotlight certainly loves him, too!  Nathan snaps himself out of his stupor rather quickly though and politely 'shuts his trap' on the matter for the time being.

On the matter of Melly:  "...oh.  That kind of overeager.  I see..."  And that's all Nathan has to say on that.  I don't think more elaboration is necessary in the case of this one.

On the matter of May: Nathan doesn't actually have much more to say on this topic either for the time being.  Not really the time or place for such long stories.  There is a moment where Nathan looks like he's about to say more...but again, he politely 'shuts his trap' for the time being.  Talking about Terra and his pokemon right now, after all, not Hoenn's most famous people!

So, different topic time!

"...would you mind if I were to sketch a picture of you later, Lapis Lazuli?  Definitely not right now.  Rain's not exactly good weather for drawing stuff, unfortunately..."
