[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Terra mostly ignores Nathan's interactions with Rapidash, since in rare moment of Insightfulness he understands why they're so intent with the fiery horse, and just quietly accepts it like no big deal. Nathan's a horse ranch boy, so his level of care/affection/focus on Rapidash is perfectly clear and reasonable to him.

At some point, however, he notices that their PTC was glowing, and plainly stated so while pointing straight at is.

"Uh......your trade machine thingy is glowing. Is that a good thing, or bad....?"

Yeah, given that it's a little dark at the moment despite still being the daytime, the glow's probably visible.  And Nathan's definitely not taking care to hide the glow from everyone at the moment. He glances at the PTC for a moment when asked about it.

"...I think it's a good thing.  I think...it doesn't seem like it's caused anything bad to happen, anyways..."

Nathan shrugs, then turns his attention back to the horse.  That's probably about all Terra will be able to get out of Nathan since Terra wasn't in a position to actually see the threads that Nathan had a chance to pull on.  Same with Spira. I think. I'm open to being surprised if you can actually think of something, though.

As stated in initial respons epost to the scenery, Shiva remained all calm and leaned into the horse for warmth and stoicness while Nathan examinates and watches it with great interest. She lets him without objecting, is concentrated on the surrounding, happenings and her own fear and worry anyway, really not up to get into arguments now of all costs. Eventually though, her nerves a little tested anyway due to the lurchs and what has happened when being sent across time via them, it does get a little too much for her and she all quietly speaks up, her expression displaying no anger. "Nathan.... I'm, well.... I'm sorry, but you, eh...tiptooing around this Rapidash does make me a bit nervous, more n-nervous than anyway that is. I know this exemplar, briefly, but I-I do... Will take care of him if he's up as well." She's highly uncomfortable to even briefly say why while Terra's around as she can EASILY guess that he'd dislike if he'd pick up that she threw herself boldly into the danger zone, but going off to a safe spot she isn't up either - not now. 

Nathan's attention is still primarily on the horse, but he's definitely listening to Shiva.  "...and how exactly do you know one of Sarimanok's Rapidash, Shiva?"  He sounds a little tired.  No anger or anything, obviously, but he IS very curious to hear what Shiva's response to that question is.  Nathan's still checking the Rapidash over to see if it's hurt or anything.  Thankfully, it's not a difficult thing to do since the horse is staying relatively calm.

"...legs look okay, no large wounds of any kind...everything looks okay for the most part, apart from some minor scratches and bruises...seems like he was yanked away from that battlefield before he got seriously hurt..."  Nathan lets out a sigh of relief, then starts digging in his bag to look for something. That feeling of responsibility hasn't gone away, either. Why Nathan feels responsible for the well being of one of Sarimanok's horses is anyone's guess at the moment, really...
