[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

(...)

Cosh is a little dismissive. "This is the legendary Trainer? This is Marco Warren? Some help this side trip has turned out to be."

Gallade would grab Heart before he hits the ground.

Nathan ROUNDs on Cosh.  And Luxray probably snarls.

Nathan speaks in a low tone that's got a hint of aggression in it as he glares at the Scimitar.  "...that is my father you're talking about, Cosh.  And if you expected him to be in peak condition after three years of being stuck here, then I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken."

Nathan crosses his arms.

"...at the very least, we rescued most of my dad's pokemon too, and THEY can DEFINITELY fight.  Something they wouldn't be quite so capable of without his help and care.  You could be a little more thankful for that."

Nathan turns his back on Cosh and starts writing down the names of all of the other Kadabra as well (including the female ones with Solomon's assistance and the various buffs/debuffs).  He's fed up with talking with the Scimitar Admin.  But given that they're temporarily working together to traverse the Skull Ruins more safely, he's restraining himself, however barely.

There's still one Kadabra missing, unfortunately, but this should help knock off more than a few names on various missing persons reports later.  Something that he's sure a LOT of people are going to appreciate later.

Oh, and I'm sure Luxray would be MORE than happy to carry Marco around personally to make sure he a) stays safe and b) doesn't cause any trouble.  Sitting/laying on Luxray probably be a lot more comfortable than Angie for long periods of time, too.

*Flashback*

Terra (Who had been remained silent and watchful/tense while Marco was being partially de-Transformed) stepped between Cosh and Nathan and gives both of them firm, hard stare that clearly conveyed 'Enough.'

"No fighting. *Looks over to Cosh* Cosh, you misspoke. Apologize, please. *Looks over to Nathan* Nathan, control your temper. Don't let you attitude be a problem."

He continues to give both men The Look until they speak up in response. Assuming their answers are satisfactory, he gives them both a short nod, and then returns to finish tending to dinner and camp prepartions/defenses, leaving the profiling/further processing of the Kadabra to Nathan and the others. Stew could only cook itself to a point, and his attention/skill set (or lack thereof) was better suited to such menial task, he was still not feeling quite ready to be around Nathan yet, and it appeared everyone else had everything well and truly handled without his aid, present and future. If trouble started to brew again, though, he'd be one of the first to step right in to resolve it, for better or worse.

Cosh pauses, then says, "You're exactly right, Terra. I misspoke. Wasn't what I meant to say at all, sorry."
