Original Post

When Shiva waves at him, Nathan sighs, then tries to find a seat closer to Shiva, even as...uncomfortable as it makes him.

When he does find a seat , he asks, "...do me a favor at some point?  I met someone who'd be interested in meeting Azu.  Doesn't...have to be now, but...some time soon...*ahem*...if that's, uh...okay..."  He shifts uncomfortably.  Gah, it's so hard for him to just...talk to her right now.  He just can't seem to make it feel...natural, I guess.  If it weren't for what he'd promised Marill, he might not even be attempting to ask this at the moment, to be honest...

Of course, Nathan's omitted some details like 'who' and 'why', but it's difficult to tell if it's so he can keep it a surprise or if he's just...too darn uncomfortable and nervous to be able to spit the words out.

Oh yes, and Mizu's still wrapped around Nathan as well, and she's giving Shiva a stare that's veeeerrrryyyy similar to the one that Angela got earlier.  And Gallade's off to the side as usual, arms behind his back, being quiet and courteous, but still feeling...uncertain.  Nathan's presumably gotten Gallade's Dull Premier Ball back by this point, though I obviously don't yet know how much the crowd bugged Nathan before he could find a seat and try to have this quick chat with Shiva.

Shiva can very easily pick up on Nathan's discomfort, partly because he was easy to 'read' and party because it was simply obvious if one only takes a closer look at things. It allures a rased eyebrow and a head tilted in wondering, as she's actually a bit innocent what in holy Reshiram's name she has done to make him so nervous; if he - contrary to every assumption - has fallen for her charms, it's safe that she'll kindly but strictly decline as she's faithful to Ventus. Not that she'd say that - she'd just say that she's not interested.

If she's being honest to herself though, Nathan has given her enough reason to be somewhat biased negatively, but she promised to not bear an open grudge towards him for these in Ancestors Cave. If she's being honest about somethingelse, she appreciates that he comes to speak her anyway.

She patiently listen to what he says. "Is that so...? Well, eh, sure that ominous one can meet dearest Azu when we both have time! I, ehm, don't really plan to breed with her if that's the intention, at least not yet, alright? Hehe..." She pauses for a moment before speaking up once more. "May I then take a photo of your cute shiny Dratini, please? One doesn't see such a Pokemon that often, and its shade of pink is such a pretty one!" She returns the dragon's stare with a faintly mischievous smile hidden behind the pages, at one point Shiva even winks. 'Hello small pinkish wyrm, fear me. (･ω<)☆'
