[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

His friend's tentative reply about Princess' temperament gets a small shake of the sagely monk head, before he elaborate a little more on what he wanted to discuss.

"No giving her advise on being a ruler. Not my place to - it's your's. Just a lesson, and a few question for her. That is all. She'll listen to what I have to teach, I think. If not.....so be it."

Cryptic, but not forbiddingly so. If Gallade is out with Nathan, they'd detect that Terra is not intentionally trying to be obtuse about this, only offering the briefest explanation. If requested, he'd fully explain just what he wanted to teach Princess.

Gallade is always out and with Nathan.  And always gauging the situation, whether it's to help Nathan navigate the issue or keeping a careful eye out for danger and eavesdroppers.

"No need to say anything more right now, then.  It can wait until next time, after we're done exploring the Ruins."

Nathan hesitates for a moment after saying that, though.  Almost as if he's not sure if he should say what's on his mind...

Gallade nudges him in encouragement.  It'll be fine.

Another moment of hesitation, before Nathan sighs and quietly says, "...be careful, Terra.  I'm worried Deoxys is going to try and...exploit every advantage it can.  Like Black Keenglaive did.  Let's make sure there is still a 'next time' once all of this is over, yeah?"

Nathan has been thinking and worrying about that...thing for awhile now.  This might have been his last opportunity to say something about it without being vague about the exact topic.
