[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

With that done Spira leaves the volcano, and Hida, then rejoins the group in the nearby rainforest.

Oh, right, this was a thing too.  Well, considering everyone else is doin' stuff in the jungle itself (and Terra and Shiva are both taking a little longer than everyone else to gather plants) and Nathan's just been hangin' out at the meeting point, Spira probably runs into Nathan first, I imagine.

Gallade's still hangin' with Pancham, doin' meditation or sparring or whatever else.

A Swablu (which Spira would probably recognize I imagine since the species does live in Sinnoh as of Platinum) briefly pops out of what looks like a castle shaped birdhouse to take a peek at who's approaching before retreating back into the structure once its curiosity has been satisfied (for now).

And Calam's still brooding.

As for Nathan...well, he probably sees Spira approaching and waves him over.  "Well, good to see you're still in one piece.  Volcanoes can be pretty dangerous after all.  Find anything interesting while you were up there?"

Just a little idle banter to pass the time while waiting for the rest of the group to show up.  Maybe the conversation will lead to different topics, though.
