[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Well, my dear, if you put it that way - then you're probably right, given that this is indeed a warzone where natives are fighting the King's soldiers it does feel rather reasoned for Terra to take his duty in keeping everyone safe and sound that serious that it may border to 'too serious' if I'm looking at things from my point of view. Maybe it just hit a nerve of mine that he'd go that far to be mad at Shiva for something she wants to do? It's still having a slightly bitter aftertaste to swallow, but since you're ensuring that he has faith in her capabilty and skills that's something that lessens this aftertaste to a good degree. To me it just feels like barely anything of that is seen! Maybe solely Terra and Shiva engaging in a meaningful Encounter of some sort together could help on that, one where she could soft-proof herself towards him as the tough and fierce battler escpecially.

EDIT: Or, now that I think about it, how Genie allowed her to take a flight on her back after their first playdate when she actually does only allow people she considers worthy of such a thing speaks a lot for itself/for Shiva already. ^^

....Dear, think about it from Terra's perspective, or heck, Shiva's father: Your chara. , instead of doing the logical thing and getting out of danger OR tracking down another member of the group for assistance, is choosing to literally become a soldier/mercenary in a war, in which she has no good stake in, nor the experience of actually being an actual warrior, as opposed to a Pokemon Trainer (Those are two very different things). Nobody in the group has that experience (at least, not until after this Scene), not even Terra practically speaking. Combine that with one of Terra's main objectives in keeping Shiva safe at all costs, and its pretty simple why he would strongly object to her rational to entering the fray like so.

The fact that Terra lets Shiva take her Encounters alone the vast majority of times should speak volumes about how much he trusts her abilities. If he didn't, the man wouldn't leave her side except for the occasional bathroom breaks and sleeping. Genie's friendship with her also shows his trust/respect in her, as if he didn't think she was capable of handling his mischevious dragoness, he wouldn't let them near her outside of battle, let alone have meet and greet play date. Terra's not too obvious with his feelings towards others, but he's hardly subtle about it either if you think about his actions/lack thereof .

As for Genie's flight, I'll reiterate by saying she only lets Terra, people she finds worthy or deserving of respect, or children the boon of riding her. She's still a Dragon type despite her Fairy personality, so she's rather prideful and hardly would demean herself by letting just anyone hitch a flight with her. Not with great consequences and humiliation on their part, anyway....
