Original Post

Few more notes one some of the things that Nathan heard in that conversation with Mallorn:

- Nathan can't help but mentally facepalm when Shiva momentarily forgets who Bo is.  She at least remembered, though, so...yay, I guess?

- ...and one of Shiva's statements is once again something incredibly bittersweet for Nathan to hear.  He refrains from commenting at length on it again, but...yeah.  It's still a sore point.

- Nathan doesn't have much more to say to Mallorn, really.  He does have one thing to say to Shiva, and it's that he'd like to use the FLASH HM later that day.  And also that they should probably let everyone else use it later today, too.  The sooner they teach the move to the group's pokemon, the better in Nathan's opinion.

(Hey, not everyone can remember the champion of a region by heart, you see...? :C Especially if Shiva only heard of Bo like, once or twice, and is a born Unovian = foreign to Creshire.)


Shiva perks up and shifts her attention to Nathan as he speaks up to her, his words arise a mild and gentle tone of voice; but given how clearly she also speaks, it's obvious that it's also a no-nonsense-tone. "Well... That's your opinion and by far a good and reasonable one, but I've got my own one. Got plans for the the evening and night already. Unfortunately no time to call everyone to gather, and I, ehm, don't wish to interrupt them in their business... I'd like to enjoy this day here in Elanor. You've got to wait like the others of the group until tomorrow morning when we'll come together anyway and we'll have access to Bill's PC, Nathan, but rest assured that I'll let them know that we can and perhaps should head towards and down the Ruins tomorrow. Alright? I'm sorry but...." She hesitates a bit, looks for words, but then just shakes her head lightly. "Well, we'll see one another, have a good night's sleep if we don't happen to see one another until then!~ Come on, Cottonee, Ophelia, Helios, we'll go grab something for lunch and then pay the grove a visit. ^_^"

Waving to her Pokemon to come to her, Shiva then makes haste to carry on, a very very cautionous Cottonee ('Ayeee, that's a powerful move sweet Master introduced me to!! Gotta take care to not blind her or companions'), a noble and proud Alakazam and a tiny and gentle fae unicorn following her. She knows the young historian won't be too happy by this, but this time he won't have it his way; Shiva is prioritizing her own desires this time. This takes her a good amount of courage.
(I apologize, but I really don't want to interrupt things for a meeting just for a mass-learning of Flash, I wish to have my fun with the things I wanted Shiva to do this in-game-day.)
