[Lord Windos]

"You and your Pokemon must take a Pledge! You must promise to do all you can to preserve this little community. When the Millennium Comet makes landfall, its passenger will wreak havoc on Nature, trying to rearrange things to suit its alien whims. It is a great observer of creatures, loving nothing more than to partition them away in cages made not from iron bars but from mountain ranges, chasms, rivers, and Tall Grass. If you all Pledge to stop the invader, I will give you tools to help you in the quest."

After raising and getting answers to his initial questions to the strange plant bug being, Terra decided to take a backseat in the ensuing conversations, as he felt that both his input in it was not relevant/needed and had everything well under control + getting matters explained. In all honesty, he also really didn't know how or what to speak with it either, as it already had him deeply confused with its first remarks and the very fact it was a talking non-Legendary Pokemon, and he was having a tough enough time keeping track/understanding what's being talked about. A social Beautifly possessing a Honedge sharp wit he was not, unlike Shiva and Nathan/Heart/Spira (to varying extents), and he didn't want to possibly make an enemy out of the Pink 'n Powerful Plant by casually cramming his foot down his gullet, so he did what was best in his opinion: defer talking to his friends entirely, and keep his mouth shut!

However, when Primal Lurantis asked for a Pledge in exchange for a boon from it, it caused the mountain of a man's attention to sharply focus on it once more as he seriously and intensely thought it over and all it entailed. This process took about a minute, during which his expression shifted between constipated, contemplative, and conservative , all while his gaze drifted towards the ground and fingers were stroking his beard......

....Until finally looked back up to the immense and colorful creature before him, and slowly shook his head, appearing stoically serious and a touch regretful.

"....I can not. Have duty to my friends. To keep them safe, cared for, and protected. Must come first, before all else. Can not......allow anything to.......get in way of it. Stop me from doing it. Even if it.....not very likely. Will still stand against......invader, but not because or for Pledge. So.......I must refuse. Sorry....."

And that's that. The big and beautiful Bug don't like that sort of response, then it can just catabolize its own glucose stores and suck it up! His friends come first and foremost along with his partners, and nothing else.

That's not to say Terra didn't have anything to give to Primal Lurantis, though, for soon after saying his piece he reached into his pockets and......pulled out what looked to be a big bag of homemade granola bars of some sort with bits of marshmallows in them (of course), and offered it to it and the tiny versions of itself (Who'd he been paying attention to this whole time).

"Can give you this, though. For your.......hospitality, and helping my friends. Thank you for that, Lurantis."

How would they react to such a gift? Not expecting very much, but hey, at least my chara is being considerate!
