Shiva's NOT calming down, every fibre of her body is worrying at full volume. She's shivering, breathing hitched, gazing around in mild paranoia as she faces the others of the group. "People... PEOPLE...! No more. Meteor, coming, will hit, Teazel Valley... Likely the place these Mightyena dwell? YES. Will we witness it? I'd guess so...?! A hint, something's with this place in our time. We NEED to get there fast once being back in our time, please... But, need to stay safe in the first place." Swiftly, she turns to her magical fox, then to Lilith, then Dizzy (in that order). "Delphox, my dear... Chant for me, chant for us, bring blessings of luck towards this area. Lilith, my dearest... Do you dare taking a gaze into the future? Will we indeed be here to witness this impact, maybe THAT'S what Celebi wishes to show us...! Though are away from the impact enough to remain relatively unharmed or are we better up to seek shelter? And you Dizzy, my companion... Can you see something by a Future Sight as well? Please, if you two can, tell me what you witness..."

In short, a Lucky Chant from Delphox and an asked Future Sight from Lilith and Dizzy. Mostly like to know whether we're in immediate danger from the expected impact or not.

*Flashback! (Since he'd address her woes before Farfetch'd's first)*

Dense as he was, Terra could easily recognize that Shiva was not taking being LURCHED! to the Ice Age or her own revelation that disaster was incoming in one form or another, and so marched right over, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and pulled her into a hug, being careful not to squish Farfetch'd by doing so. Given she knew the moutanous man's reluctance for this form of physical affection, this was probably all the more shocking to her.

"Shiva? Shiva! Be calm. Everyone and everything is alright for now. Disaster has been.....fortold, but not come yet. We still have time to prepare. We all are strong. We are all.....capable. Can handle almost everything together. Me, Nathan, Heart, Spira, and you. Yes, you. So do not worry, Shiva. Have faith in us. Have faith in your Pokemon. Have faith in yourself. Understand?"

He said this all quietly, in a low but comforting tone as he did his best to diffuse her own volitile emotional distress, and hoping that his efforts bore fruit instead of not. Quite an inspirational, heartfelt speech from such a stoic man, eh? Whether that be surprising or not depends, but its clear he's getting better at picking up on everyone's mood/feelings, and reacting appropriately - however that may be.

Once that scene is done, he'll move on to Heart, Spira, and then the brown ducky, in no particular order.

*Flashback End....for now!*

That's much better, and triggers Farfetch'd's instinct to hunker down in a nest. Soon he's snug as a duck in a rug.

The rugged wanderer couldn't help but chuckle fondly at the sight of Farfetch'd making himself comfortable, and (if he lets him), gently carasses them on the head.

"*Nods* Better. ....Farfetch'd, I have a question for you. Do you.....want to become my partner? For now, at least? Promise to take good care of you and make you stronger, so you don't have to run away no more.  Find nice, safe home for you later if we...... have to part ways."

Farfetch'd nods. He's getting sleepy now, but he likes being in your arms like this.
