"Ahaha... How adorable. fear not, I'll take care of the top hat as well as for you. Alright? Nothing to worry about. Just...stay here... Things will be fine...maybe soon enough..."

[Iron]

Azurill senses a bit of her trainer's spirit, and tries to share strength by hugging her thumb. But the little blue mouse has so little happiness within itself to share...

[Dragonstrike]

They'd been sitting there in an uncomfortable silence for an hour, waiting for Shiva.

Usually she'd be up by now.  Nathan's beginning to worry a little...

"She's taking too long.  I'm going to go check on her."

Before Ventus can say anything, Nathan's walked off, Kirlia beside him as per usual.

When he reaches her door, he pauses, feeling a little nervous about this again...Kirlia takes his hand and raises it up to the door, then nods.  It'll be fine.

Nathan takes a deep breath...and then knocks.  Cautiously and with clear concern, he says, "Hey, Shiva.  You in there?  You doin' okay?"

The empath wanted to get up and follow him , to check up on his dear friend , making sure that she was truely alright ... but he was FAR to frazzled right now to be any comfort to anyone right now.

' If I went to accompany him right now , I am more liable to distress Shiva in the state I am in now . oFor Now , I will take this alone time as respite , collect ymy bltroubled emotions , and calm myself ... '

By the time his sfriends dhad returned , they would see Ventus serene as he ever is , awaiting them with a smile on his face .

Hmmm... In the end, it was Azu who called her Master's attention to the knocking on the door, because she had buried her face into the pillow. So comfy... But there's so much to explore outside...

It seems that it's Nathan on the door... Someone from the others! They have not left without here! Aww. It warmed her heart a little, but did not eased that feeling athat although Shiva wised to go downstairs and leave the dorm and Center, she couldn't find the strength to do so on her own. Kirlia would pick up than any horrible thoughts were absent and safely prevented though.

Giving a thankful stroke over the ears for Azurill, she got up to be upright in bed, now that a a visitor was there on the door. "Door's open, feel free to come in."

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan slowly opens the door and peeks in before entering when Shiva gives him the okay to come in.  Unfortunately for Shiva, he doesn't have breakfast.

There she was, just sitting there on the bed...still not dressed for the day...

"Ahem...you uh...sleep well? I didn't wake you, did I?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Haha, in comparison to Ventus yesterday Natha was rather hesitant. Wonder why... Did she do anything wrong? Or was he just shy to be around member of the opposite gender? Given that he usually is not like this, it was a little weird.

Azurill moved a little to the side to look at who came there to visit while still hiding behind her Master. As Nathan mentioned sleep, Shiva gaze fell unwillingly at the burnt Dream Catcher who was still hanging there in the window. "Sleep's been interesting... Interesting in there were no bad dreams and the rest was actually...restful. That's a benefit."

At this point, she carefully picked up Azu, got down from the ned and went over to the window to take a look outside. Seeing all buzzing with activity while she was still here... She sighed a little, unsure about what to do.

"Besides, Nathan..." Suddenly, her voice had a mournful undertone. "...I've kept you people waiting, didn't I? I'm sorry for this... But do you know it when you actually desire to get up, leave your curent surroundings and get things done, but you somewhat are not capable to find the strength needed to do so?"

Red eyes and a broad, toothy grin appear in the shadow when it knows it has been recognized. It winks at Valder, and then it winks again, perhaps at Gastly. Then it fades into the ground. When Valder examines the spot, everything seems normal.

 'Oh. Just another unnormal thing. Completely normal at this point' Valder thought sarcasticly. He heads back to the center and tries to sleep until the next day.
 While trying to sleep he thinks about what the shadow could be. Or, since that was probably the case, who it was. The first he thought was that it could be some scimitar. 'They like to play with magic. But... that isn't quite their style'. Valder thought more. 'It could be connected to those braindogs, But that's crazy'.

-Day 19- (right?)

 Valder gets up early walks to the main area in the Center and waits for Ventus. Valder has decided that Ventus would probably want to know the things he heard from Fellman. And what happened the day before of course.
 
 When he spots Ventus, He will approach him and tell him he has something to report.

[Dragonstrike]

...yeah...

"...all to well, I'm afraid..."  It's barely more than a whisper.  He knows exactly how that feels...

He hasn't noticed the dream catcher, but Kirlia has.  He hasn't informed Nathan yet, either.

"Shiva...if you need to talk...about anything...I'm more than willing to listen...okay?  You're not alone in this, after all.  I'll say it as many times as I need to."

While Ventus was finishing compose himself after his revelation with Nathan , Valder walked into the lobby and told him He had something to report to him . His eyebrow raised at this , he was rmepted to put it off until later but he sighed and waved for him to go ahead and tell him . 

" You may speak , Valder . I trust you have be doing well in Corsage lately , and have been finding work to supplement your income ? If you need supplies or cash , though , I am currently unable to give them to you fright now . My latest restocking has left me steeped for money for the time being . "

( This conversation can be flashbacks to , so don't feel like you have to wait for it ! )
