[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Keni doesn't turn, but he points his brush at a pile of unsorted furniture in one corner of the cottage. "Help yourself to a chair or stool, and even an easel if you'd like. I can paint while you talk."

He's out on the porch with all the doors of the cottage open, working on a landscape. As you move beside him, he does indeed look healthier. Not so much younger, just like he's in better shape.

Nathan raises an eyebrow at the sight of Keni being more fit at first, but shrugs it off.  Strange, but not so strange as to raise questions.  That could be due to any number of reasons, after all.

When Nathan pulls up a chair, he looks out over the ocean for a moment, both appreciating what it has to offer and remembering what little he's learned of what's to come.  "This view...it reminds me of some of my talks with certain pokemon...lots of memories here...both happy and sad, just like the port town's history..."

Nathan doesn't say much more at first, but it's not hard to see why some might consider this a good place to paint.  The view's good, there's a feeling of emotional expression hanging in the air (which may or may not be slightly related to the presence of a certain Legendary, given that Nathan's spoken with them near here before...), it's quiet and out of the way...

...and that makes this a perfect spot for what Nathan has in mind.

"I am here for painting, yes, though I'm moreso here to assist you with yours, to be honest.  Mr. Morgusi, I think it's about time I upheld my end of the deal we made when you created that card for me.  The pokemon I wish to show you is finally ready, and this spot...I think it's the perfect place for them to show you what they can do."  The young trainer looks to Gallade, and his friend nods in return.  He's ready.

Are Keni Morgusi and his paints prepared for the show?
