Any attempts to reason or talk her out of things were the practically LAST things Shiva wanted to hear in this case, she tried hard to block these out and concentrate only on Raphael and the smol Baby Form of the archangel. That blatant unhappiness she managed to pick up from the latter through the sphere was enough to insta-melt her soft heart like a Castliacone under the summer sun. When Shiva felt a hand gently placed onto her shoulder though and met Terra's gaze as she turned around in startle, she couldn't ignore things anymore.

She listened what he told her, but she failed to look at him while doing so. She so wanted to disagree, to fire counter-arguments at his words and state that she just doesn't trust the League in handling smol Togepi well, all they'll do is 'treat them as an evidence for Juni's crime, and the be done with it'. This thought made her rather uncomfortable.

Eventually, she just gave up. But before that, she shakes her head vehemently. "Fine. Lil' Togepi is nothing but evidence to the League, that's not what I'd call 'taken good care', but alright. If that's the choice, I shouldn't...object..." In her voice, immense sadness was audible. "I'm sorry. Detective, take them if you want and need... However, please only under the compromise that you'll keep me updated on these Pokemon of Juni. Let me know when I can...come and see them, alright? Please."

++ Onwards to the foraging session in the rainforest habitat++


Shiva loved it to dwell in this area. It was almost scary how quickly she seems to have 'recovered' from having to leave poor Togepi there. The whole time she sported a small smile, she was interested in simply everything around here; like a child in a toy store would be. The difference was that HERE, Shiva could touch, investigate and take along everything and as much as she wanted without anyone objecting or asking her to calm down, and by no means she'll let such a chance go to waste! Especially since this Great Forest will be logged completely soon. :C

With Tropius', Cottonee's and Lilith's(/Telekinesis) help she gathers a bit of EVERYTHING to take with her, what exactly she'll do with it she can still decide later. About some parts she's already sure, like that Kobra-tongued Fern and the Ivory Nuts, that Aipom Orange was just too cool to leave alone. She'll collect 3 fruit from the Honey Tree with the grassy sauropode's help.

Now, about that Trumbeak Feather: Shiva's amazed by that feather. Finds it incredibly beautiful and worth more than sole money, it's a feather of a soon-extirpated bird! She'd like to have a few strands of it, just enough to make it into a small pendant to add it to her worn talisman consisting of that duskglass shard from the Fortune Hunter, then Terra can have it if he likes to turn it in for profit in 2017.

*Flashback!*

Terra couldn't help but let out a *Sigh* of relief as Shiva agreed to hand over Togepi to Thrawn, albeit it with a great deal of reluctance on her part. Admittedly, he frowned a little harder at seeing just how poorly she took having to give up the angelic hatchling, and her lack of faith in the League was.....mildly troubling and disheartening (as he had at least great respect in their governance, his own 'pragmatic' heroic tendencies/morality aside), but he still gave her a small, kind smile for her choice, along with head pat. No matter her outlook or perpesptive on various things, the fae lady was his friend, so he wasn't going to despair/worry over her less than positive feelings unless they become a legitimate problem, and just accept her for who she is. 

"Thank you, Shiva. League will take care of Togepi, so please.....don't blame them for wanting them. Okay?"

Regardless of her response, the rugged wanderer releases her , and in due time the pair make their to the jungle to forage for all sorts of herbal goodies!

.....But not before he witnessed the exchange between the mystical lass and Nathan, and how it left the later looking.........uncomfortable and sad.

This caused the sagely monk's stoic expression to become.....inscrutable as he glanced at his friends and tried to figure out what was going between them, before he let closed his eyes and let out a *Sigh......* to himself, shaking his head slowly all the while.

'.......Looks like Nathan........is having problems with Shiva. Hm........will have to talk him later about it. *Nods* Bring Angie with me too. She and him like each other, and he......enjoy company of Pokemon very much. Maybe it will.....make him feel better. Hm....'

With that thought trailing off, we transition to the next scene.

(...)

Since its been implied that all those Rare Plants are for the taking by Shiva and Terra, he'll get as many of each one as he can if it doesn't take an Encounter, as he's very much interested all the sorts of things he can do with them (With the Umbreon Hook being a particularly fascinating Item for him!). For the Honey Tree, [b]he'll be trying to get as many bottles/units of Honey as he possibly can, as he knows the sweet treat is not only one of the fastest ways to earn a Pokemon's trust and Happiness, but its just good, non-perishable food !

As for the Trumbeak Feather, he's extremely grateful that Shiva let him keep it, and of course lets her take some material from it to do with as she wishes. Its the least he can do for her generosity, really!

The steely brawler heart leaped up his throat when one of the predatory pitcher plants tried to swallow Anubi, but heave a GREAT big *SIGH* of relief when they managed to free themselves and serve up some flaming hot retribution simultaneously. In the end, both Tommy and Anubi managed to dispatch both the Giant Grass types with relative ease and minor injuries, causing him to proudly smile at them both for their accomplishment.

"Tommy, Anubi......you have done very well. Both of you worked together, taking down the plants quickly and with little injuries. Now, they won't be a threat to anyone,anymore .*Turns to Anubi specifically* Especially happy and proud of you, Anubi. You trusted and respected my orders, and stomped on those plants good. *Turns Tommy now* Happy with as well, Tommy. Supported your partner well in battle, and made us some Poke too. *Regards both of his Pokemon equally*  Thank you for your hard work, my friends. "

After saying this, he bends down to give the blue bomber and the tom cat some well deserve pets, much to their mutual enjoyment. Anubi can't help but feeling thrilled at both pounding some nasty Pokemon into the dirt and his partner's 'lavish' praise/affection, while Tommy appeared outwardly aloof and smuggly satisfied at cashing out those weeds, but inwardly was pleased with his boss' ministrations  too. He may be a wild feline at heart, but that he didn't enjoy being pampered like a house cat at times........just not too much.

Once Terra caught both of the Overgrown Victreebell (As his Pokedex so helpfully informed them of what they were) and he recalled both Anubi + Tommy for some rest, he decided to make his way back to where the group arrived, exploring the jungle and taking his time as he did so and picking up any and all the Rare Plants/Interesting Items he could get along the way (If getting his share of those Rare Plants counts as an Encounter; otherwise, he's just wandering around looking for interesting things/waiting for something interesting to happen to him). Shiva had disappeared to who knows were into the undergrowth during his Fight, but since she wasn't screaming for HELP, he figured she was doing fine on her own and he needn't go off tracking her down. 

Guardian of her and the group as he was, if he knew his friends could take care of themselves in a most situations, he was somewhat content with leaving them to their own devices and/or fend for themselves. Simple as that.
