[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Ruins Question:
"Negative emotions, even when bittersweet, are like a magnet to most Ghost-type Pokemon, and considering how dangerous the Ghosts of Skull Ruins are said to be, the last thing we need is them swarming us."

Oh. .........OH! Above Shiva's head a figurative lightbulb lights up, she feels like just having gotten a new insight. "I.... I see. That, if I'm okay to speak it out, probably plays an important role in Toya and your other Ghost Types being obediant and comfortable around you, does it? They're drawn towards those negative experiences and losses you had to endure... Fascinating." It is indeed for her, but it has just a bittersweet taste.

Dating Question:
*clears throat* "It was a common practice, especially when starting out, its main intention was to make it so that the, as you called them, acolytes, could better focus on their studies, but because of how many people disagreed with the practice, I heard through the grapevine that it was discontinued maybe a year or so after I left the gym to start my journey."

M.... maybe she shouldn't have outright called it 'dating' then, seeing that it hit a sensitive nerve of the spectral breeder in front of her.
...........*very frantic and embarassed hand gestures* "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to... eh... Doesn't matter!! >o<; " All silently she's happy though that those feelings between Spira and Leigh were mutual. Aww!~

the 'bold' question:
"That's a very kind offer, very well, if one of these incarnations of temptation should stand in our way, I know I can count on someone."
After Spira's emotional baggage has been unloaded, his countenance visibly changes for the better, "Thank you for lending an ear to what I had to say."

Hehehehe. That's rather flattering again, Shiva seems rather pleased that he didn't outright deny, that he wanted to handle such a creepy creature all alone, it's shown by a rather cute smile. "S... Sure you can count on me then! 'It' won't make it to add our spirits to its collection, count on it...."

It's very relieaving also to notice that Spira's doing quite better now. *Another compassionate smile* "...Doing better? That's good to see. N-nothing to thank me for, you asked for someone to listen to you.... But I gladly did so, indeed. You, ehm, can always come to me if you need to talk 'bout something or need to vent, okay?" Only if allowed (Shiva would flinch away at the smallest sign of discomfort), she'd then all gently pat Spira' shoulder.

"....Try to have a good night's rest then. We'll see one another tomorrow morning... " (Unless there's somethingelse that needs to be talked about/shared, but actually not from my side at the moment)
