[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

With the babe's display of the stunning amount of artistic talent with the now Rhydon Doll, their parents naming them, and Nathan's own reaction/commentary on the above, even Terra could realize what they done, and who they were meeting: The group had managed to rescue THE Keni Morsugi and his family. Unlike the clever trainer, Terra was momentarily shocked by the news, with eyebrows raised to their full heights as he stared taken abackly at the baby artist, before managing to regain control of himself in time to not make a scene. Even he wasn't dense enough/had enough experience to know that him staring at someone for too long lead to problems.....usually.

That revelation settled heavily on the simple monk's mind, as he thought about the young one and their marvelous, critically acclaimed future and how the group as a whole enabled that, his meeting with them as an old gentleman, and how he wanted to do more for them without causing problems for the 'future'. After all, while they were going to be talented and famous guaranteed someday, a little insurance never hurt, yes?

After a minute or so of pondering, the ideas of what to do came to him, like Electric Move drawn in by Melly's Lightning Rod. First quietly getting Keni's parent permission to personally greet and gift smol Keni, he approach them, couching down so he was at eye level with them and gave them a kindly smile.

"Hello, Keni. Since you gave doll to us, I have a gift for you. Here."

Saying that, he dug around his pockets for second, until he pulled out a lamented photo, and held it out to them. It quite simply depicted Terra and his entire lineup of Pokemon before he came to Cheshire. Terra was standing straight and tall, looking into the camera with faint shyness but great amusement, and was holding a Forrestress in his hands like it was a basketball. Said ironclad insect was boldly glaring at the camera herself, as it DEMAND it to take the photo already. Shiranui the Hariyama and Genie the Flygon were standing by their brother's/partners right and left sides respectively, each with one hand/claw on Terra's shoulder as they smiled, the dragoness' one playfully impish and the sumo wrestler boisterous and gregarious. From first glance, it almost look like they were acting as the man's good angel and devil, like certain cartoons depict. Melly the Manetric was standing at his feeting, looking her energetic self and ready to run off and play play play! Last, but certainly not least, was Lapis Lazuli the Milotic, coiled around the whole gathering and hover overhead, with him leaning down so he was in frame and giving the camera a warm, gentle smile. 

"Its a picture of me and my Pokemon. If you want, take it. If you do not, that is fine too."

He then paused for a moment, thinking of what else to say, before nodding to himself and smiled again at the baby artist.

"Have some......advice......help on how to be a good....better painter of Pokemon too. Don't just paint them, but.......paint them. Bring Pokemon to life on......paper, not just make image. To do that, need to know about Pokemon too. Its....hm....past......what it is doing now......maybe its future too. As a.....Wise Old Man said: 'You can't paint without the WHOLE story' . Understand?"

At this, he gave Baby Keni one last smile and (if it was okay with everyone else), gently patted them on the head.

"You will be a great a great artist. A great man. Can feel it. So take care and be well, Keni. Live long and happy, doing what you want."

With that said, Terra said good bye to the child and returned to the group, sad to leave them, but knowing someday they would become a world class artist that would meet with them again warmed enough to keep him smiling. 

'Never thought I meet Keni again like this. Or him meeting me this way. Weird.....but not bad. Very glad I could help save him. World.....needs more people like them. Hm.....'

(That should do it for any interactions Terra has with Baby Keni! Tell me what you think of it, mates!)
