[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

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<)☆'

Mizu just continues to stare at Shiva before tossing her head back in a little 'hmph!' kind of gesture.  One thing's for certain: Mizu is not afraid of Shiva.

For his part, Nathan startles when Shiva brings up the topic of breeding Azu.  "What?  No no no!  Nothing of the sort!  Wouldn't even dream of suggesting that!"

As for whether Shiva can take a picture of Mizu, Nathan calms down a little and sighs.  "...later."  It's all he says, but the meaning should be clear, given the context of the situation.

In any case, after those topics are addressed, Nathan quickly scoots back off to a seat farther away from Shiva (or at least tries to).  He really doesn't want to try continuing to talk with her unless he absolutely has to.
