"*Nods thoughtfully* Hm....know my family have been merchants for.....generations? Is that the right word? *Shakes head* ...Been merchants for a long time. *Shrugs* Don't know much more than that, though. Never was too.....interested in learning family's history or my ancestors. Had other stuff to focus on, so choose not to......study it."

The clever trainer's second comment intrigued him, as from his own experience back at home almost ANY trainer at some point wished they had a talent to easily tame the mighty Dragon types (Along with certain Steel and Ghost types, but that digress to much), both for battle and the prestige. Hearing them being so....casual about it was unexpected, but not a bad thing pre say. Just....different.

"....Huh. Most people I knew would want to be Dragon Tamers, if they had your talent. Dragons types are VERY powerful, useful, and much....admired. You don't, though. *Shakes head* Strange....but not bad thing. *Shrugs* Think you are better with Fire and Psychic type anyway. You have lots of them, and seem very good batting and bonding with them. *Beat* …That is what I think. If you don't agree, I understand and accept that."

(Pity the fool indeed, for an Business Terra on the warpath was a beast no one should face!)

Indeed, Angie did appear mildly miffed that so much of her papa's shiny babbles were being given to the boy, letting out small but sharp whinning *Zzss!* in protest before they (Terra) snapped to their attention. In a rare form he correctly guesses what was wrong immediately and quietly + quickly explains things. The explanation seemed to appease her, for she settled down soon after he finished, but still gave the wyrm whisper a askew look after all was said and done. Okay, they can have those S.D.S. , but if they try to take anymore she'll give them a nip they won't soon forget!

At this point Terra notice how boggled Nathan was, and grew simultaneously confused and concern in short order.

"Nathan? Is something wrong? Or did Angie's crying surprise you....?"

Nathan nods back.  "Yup, generations is the right word."  Not much to say regarding Terra's lack of interest in his family history, but it sounds to Nathan like he has at least a basic grasp on his family's lineage.

Nathan shrugs at the Dragon Tamer coment, but doesn't have much to add.

(...)

When Angie hisses disapprovingly, Nathan snaaps out of the stupor a little.  He lets Terra handle the situation first, then responds himself.

"...uh, no, nothing's wrong.  Everything's fine...I think...*ahem*..."

Then he notices Angie staring at him.

"...no need to worry.  I won't be taking any more of them.  Probably.  I imagine Terra wants to get some value out of them as well."

He thinks of something and chuckles a little.

"Well, given you like treasure, how about I show you one of mine?  That should be proof enough that I take good care of my valuables."

Nathan looks at Gallade, who nods in response...

...and then uses his Telekinesis to levitate the Clamperl Pearl in front of him.  Ooooo, shiny! Distraction time, go!
