"...well, that is certainly one thing.  There's also contests, right?  I personally wouldn't have pinned ya as a Contest Spectacular participant, and yet here you are, defying expectations by being much, much more than a mere participant.  Wilderness survival.  You're also really easy to talk to.  That's another plus.  Have a knack for raising pokemon of all kinds.  I'm sure there's more besides what I just listed, too.  A lot more than just being a big meat shield."

At that point, Nathan remembers something rather important.  "...oh yeah, almost forgot...here.  Hope ya don't need it, but it'd be safer fir Gallade if ya have this as well."  Nathan hands Terra Gallade's Dull Premier Ball.  "Just in case he needs to be recalled."

"....Huh. Never thought those things were....special. Just fun, good practice, and the ways I live. *Rubs back of his head in discomfort* …Usually not good with talking to others. Even....my own partners sometimes. Hard to understand....and many times say wrong thing. Or...to much. *Sighs* Always had....problems with talkings. *Pauses* But. ….But with you....everyone in the group....its been easier. Much easier. Don't know how, or why....*Smilles* ...but it makes me happy."

Both of Terra's eyebrows raised up slightly when they handed over Gallade's Premier Ball to him, somewhat taken aback as he stared at it for a second, before looking questioningly at them. It wasn't due to fact that the boy handed over the ball to begin with, as they did so for him to go get Anubi from Cress City, but rather the context and new underlying implications of the gesture. 


Unlike last time, which was just a simple errand/daytrip they enabled, they were entrusting their partner ENTIRELY to him as he traveled back to Ancestor Cave, a place of newly high risk and danger. It showed they either had great faith in him, was that worried for his own wellbeing, or, most likely, both. After their recent....exchange of ideals, such care was not overly surprising/baffling as it otherwise would have been, but it was none the less greatly humbling and slightly worrisome. 


….Was he really so worthy of a friend that they were so willing to put Gallade's life in his hands, without hardly a second thought?

…

"....*Nods* Okay. I will....take great care of Gallade, as he takes care of me. Promise."

In order to make room in his party for Gallade, he'll leave Melly behind in his PC after teaching her HP, before heading out. Heart would be stuck trying to beat on his room door and get no response, until they finally moved on. Sorry, but the simple monk simply wants to get his partners back fast. Simple as that!
