Nathan lets out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding when the wagon touches the ground safely. Phew...
He's very...quiet. For the most part, he tries not to speak unless spoken to. He does return Mito's vigorous handshake with a firm one of his own. "Just doin' the right thing, sir. I see people in trouble, I just...want to help if I can. Not much to it besides that. Same goes for a lot of my pokemon friends."
Gallade's looking a little winded now, much like Nathan, but he's happy everyone got out of that okay and is taking a breather off to the side. Calam and Starmie seem fine and happy as well (though it's hard to tell with Starmie), but the tiredness is probably starting to rub off on them too. That was a very...rapid and stressful encounter, that's for sure.
When offered a Lucky Egg of all things, Nathan accepts it with a quiet, "...thank you. I'll take good care of it."
He hadn't been asking for anything...but it feels nice to be appreciated all the same.
"...so...where are you guys headed, out of curiosity?", he asks.
-------
The snake oil salesman is a different story. Nathan's read a lot about these salesmen who would take little bits and bobs from pokemon and try to turn them into something useful that they could sell, sometimes for exorbitant prices that were far more than what the item was actually worth.
Some of them actually worked...but a lot of them didn't. And a lot of the ones that did had...side effects of some variety, to put it mildly.
Nathan has a weird feeling about this guy, too...like he's definitely seen him before somewhere...was it in a book he read one time, maybe? He can't quite remember off the top of his head right this moment...it could very well be that some snake oil salesmen were more famous than others...
Well, he'll keep thinking about this while he's browsing and trying to determine what might work and what won't, I guess. He has some stuff he could trade, so if some of this stuff actually DOES work...the standard stuff like Potions and herbal medicines certainly seems to be the same as it usually is, at least...well, minus the inflation that the economy will experience eventually...those 1925 Pokeballs cost not double, but FOUR times what a standard pokeball costs in 2017...yeesh...yes, it's new technology in this time, but seeing a standard pokeball costing an effective $800 is certainly an experience and a half...
...seeing Terra shift into his own 'snake oil salesman' mode is also certainly...something else, that's for sure. Though Nathan's not too sure how much those maps can be trusted...maybe Terra will let him check them out later...
(I'm still deciding on what to get from Dr. M's shop and how exactly I'm going to barter/pay for it, but I'll get something for sure! There's some neat stuff in there, after all.)
