[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Bern does definitely notice how negatively(?) Oz and Fortuna react to their presence, but they're not phased or bothered by it, nope. If at all, they're used to such things happening in their presence, whether they wanted to give off an imperious and domineering aura or not. However the regal crow that Fortuna is gets her glance back and forth reciprocated, but not in a bad sense of 'keeping a constant eye on you' but more in a sense of appreciation and acknowledgment. "...A beautiful Honchcrow that you have there, Oz. And a powerful one at last if my sense is not deceiving, I've got to give you that much." Their tone of voice remains stoic and semi-cold however upon voicing that bit of praise, but that's just how Bernhard is, it seems. Her inquiry of anyone needing healing is politely declined, Bern has Niri and his Heal Pulses for that.

Zephy's telekinetik bonk and request to 'Quit it with the Mysterious Mage Act and meet 'n greet with these folks!' however is ignored for good. That's by far not the first time the artsy birdmouse tries to tickle the Mage out of their hard shell, happened often enough, failed often enough. She receives a likewise telepathic 'Hush there, dear one. There'll be plenty opportunity to...meet 'n greet them as you put it, if we're having to work and put up with them. *long suffering sigh* If THAT's what 'it' wants us to do...'

What's by far more interesting than pondering over that is that young man with the Mareanie on his head! Bern's intense look lingers on Akamu and his two partermon for a bit indeed, though not in a negative or piercing manner but more like in a curious and mildly interested one, given what they've picked up. "...Intriguing... Akamu was your name, right? I'll keep that in mind, if I may do so." Bern's thoughts wander a bit, back and forth, but always coming back to the Fae Vibes they're getting. They're not totally unfamiliar with such vibes, in one way or the other. Hmm.

Towards the Munchlax in boots throwing up trash Bern remains unimpressed, if at all it means it's a healthy species, having such an appetite and all. And a healthy 'Mon is a strong 'Mon, if used correctly.

Seddi's long talking is carefully listened to, though there's little reaction shown/displayed on the outside; their arms remain crossed and everything despite how much meaning and foreshadoing there is in the words spoken. Then Bern lets out another - almost imperceptible - semi-suffering sigh. Oh boi, what have they gotten 'emselves into this time, it's not like there can be a single day where Miss Fortune and Father Fate don't throw things at them and their Mythic-Partner that the pair did not ask for... "Very well.. Seddi, was it, correct? Are you done talking meaningful words then, please? If even half of what you're stating is correct, then we should better get going instead of lowkey-wasting more time by speaking with one another." They let out another suffering sigh, this time more noticable. "I am...really not too eager to work with you - or you all, more specifically" ('least of all with what appears to be one of these....NATIVES') - but if THAT's what's needed and should be done for reasons yet unknown to me because otherwise there'll be unspoken calamity upon the region, so be it then. Just...don't expect me to happily and instantly co-operate or hang around 24/7, I've got my own things to do."

Oh joy... Bernhard has mixed feelings over it all, very mixed ones. Heck, Acrowls will enjoy hearing about this, the fate of the region and all in the hands of his former apprentice. On the other hand, there's a not-so-bad reason to go out and expand their horizon, indulging into the deep urge to wander and travel with a sense of meaning and purpose again.
