Shiva was caught a little off-guard upon noticing that her most dear Fluffball has seemingly left her side as she had her attention on the family of Eevees she took care of, but she didn't grew worried or startled by Cottonee having done that. She's well aware that she usually doesn't do that and loyally stays by Shiva's side always... Well, except when something really catches the grassy fairy, as not even her sweet Master was safe from the mischievously-playful attitude of her Starter and her tendency to outplay her hidden love her pranks. Not that Shiva minds - on the contrary, that playfulness was something that adds a lot to the love Shiva holds for her Startermon, and to her liking for fairies in general!

Quickly she spotted WHAT has allured Cottonee from her side, it brought a little smile accompanied with an impercible sigh to her as she carefully approached the table that Terra, his electric wolf and the others occupied. Though she prefered to keep herself a little in the background and not say anything more than friendly greetings upon being noticed herself, silently watching how Cottonee thankfully nom'ed the neatly roasted marshmallows the mountain of a man offered her. The reason for that was simple: The pleasant smell of roasted marshmallows brought back memories to the young female, in particular memories of the bonfire in Arrowroot Village, memories of her preparing for the Ritual there, of Azurill glowing in a blue light and becoming a sweet sweet Marill, and of course of...she and Ventus sharing a first yet accidental and embarrasing kiss with one another, before he fainted into her lap due to being overwhelmed by that. Such were moments she'll likely never forget and made the journey through the region worth while... Now though, it brought a wave of sentimentality to her. Mixed feeling, but with the warm and positive ones outnumbering the sad ones...


Due to being so reminiscent and lost in thoughts, she mostly only half-listened what has been discussed among the others, and mildly perked up in suprise when Terra adressed her directly. What he said, about her letter made him feel special and cared for, brought him an embarassed chuckle in response that Cottonee emphasized with a ^o^- expression towards him. "Is that so...? That...lovely to hear, indeed! You, eh...don't need to promise me anything, just...keep on protecting us the way you do, haha..." After that's been said, she grew quiet again, and awkward silence cloaked her.

Though the offer that followed after that quickly raised her mood again, and the idea of Genie, that mischievous faelike Flygon she already had pleasure to see briefly in the Introductory Battle a while ago, brought some sparkles rushing through her eyes again. Cottonee gave her Master a look that practically BEGGED to meet that weird Pokemon being mentioned here, melting Shiva's heart in an instant. "Yesyesyes, that's a... great idea, Terra! I'm having some time, and would...rejoice to meet her... I'm feeling it IS a good thing!~ And... Sounds like a fine opportunity to discuss a few things... So, ehm, let me just pick up a Pokemon from the PC and then we can get going, alright? I'll...wait for you outside."


Due to that, she had to kindly deny Nathan's offer to meet the Pokemon he got revived from the Fossil by the good professor, bringing up that 'Fossil Pokemon were never really her thing or liking, and that too many people surrounding it may only serve to alienate the young one'. "I'm sorry for that", she added also, "But... I'm sure it's in good hands by staying with you.... Until later or tomorrow then, to you as well Heart." Off she is, with Cottonee making a heartfelt leap to follow her.

With that said she takes a leave of the table then, making a swift way to Bill's PC in order to pick up Tanuki again for the free slot that the shiny Unown U left. (Means, her party now consists of the Eevee Family, Raphael, Cottonee and Tanuki, Genie can meet Shiva's other fairies at a different time. For now it'll 'only' be her, Cottonee and Raphael!) Umbreon, Dittumbreon and young Eevee can stay outside as well during the whole scene, sleeping, helping finding Berries or simply doing their own thing as long as they don't wander off too far. (Are they up to that at all, @Iron?)


As promised, she'll be waiting outside of the Center for Terra, having the family of Eevee by her side, Raphael hovering close to her and Cottonee sitting enthroned on her Master's head again while Tanuki occassionally threw glances up there from her place on Shiva's right shoulder. This place wasn't bad at all to be honest though, and she would receive just as many dear strokes through her fur like the wad of cotton! While waiting, Shiva also drew the disk coding mystical Dazzling Gleam, showing and explaining this item to both the fluffball and the archangel. (Reactions has already been given. Just now Shiva doesn't teach the move, but it's the moment she decides which of these two will learn it.)

When Terra eventually arrives, she waves and makes a step towards him in a coy but friendly manner, anticipitation being rather obvious in her expresisona nd body language. "So, ehm... Hi again! You know any good places around where we're having good chances to find some Berries? And, uhm... when we're done with searching, may I see these tiny blue gemstones again, please?"
