Nathan lets out a sigh of relief.  Phew...

Nathan's finding it...a little weird to be worrying about all this stuff again...not something he had to be worried about while Ralts was evolved...

"...alright, well, you just let me know when you're ready to head out for the day.  I think we'll try and keep ya out of battling if at all possible today, though.  You did well yesterday, but I'm sure you're tuckered out still, right?"

Whenever Ralts is ready, Nathan finishes his note taking, packs everything up, and is ready to head out for the day!  Not a whole lot for him to pack since he tends to keep almost all of his stuff in his bag.

In the lobby!

Nathan heads down to the lobby...at some point in the morning.  Though, weirdly, he's not in any of the usual places he sits or stands or anything...

So, who's looking for him first? (don't worry, he won't be hard to spot.  Just want to know who's taking the extra effort)

 Valder's there exploiting a comfy chair, Theo sitting on its lean. Valder waves/nods at Nathan, then goes back to loafing in the chair. Ahhhh, sweet morning silence.

Well, guess that ruins the surprise of where Nathan is...

Why he's hanging with Valder is another matter, though.  Someone's gonna have to go over there to find out! 

Ralts is...kinda intimidated by Theo after seeing what he was able to do yesterday.  With some urging from Nathan, he does go over to Theo, though...not really to 'play', but moreso to 'talk'.  Ya know, get used to the idea of this pokemon literally made of blades being around and such...that kind of thing.

"Play nice, Theo"
 Valder's feeling great.

Morning of Day 51

As per usual, the sociologist was the first to awaken as the new day began, were upon he swiftly and silently proceeded to conduct his morning ritual, grab breakfast and bring it back to his to share with Shiva, before finally go over and wake them up.

"Shiva, my dear, morning light has come to grace us all, so its time to awaken. We have a busy day ahead of us, so after we eat our breakfast and you get ready, we should head down to the lobby and wait on the others. Don't want to delay our trip anymore than circumstance have conspired to thus far, after all!"

Night's rest was......suprisingly soothing for Shiva, if she was very honest to herself, she suffered less issues to sleep in that she might have feared she'll have. Talking about everything, just once and simply to that (as he says) troubled oddball of a sociologist definitely helped to some degree, for example it prevented any nightmares that the dreamcatcher was not able to catch and that may have pestered her otherwise. Him, along with Kyuu, Cottonee and a gifted Snivy Plushie being there as an emotional nightguard during the night was precious and worth more than any amount of money or found treasures. (+1 Loyalty to Ven, he definitely wakes up with her snuggling into his side. I didn't count, but I guess she has 4 to him now????)

The first thing she does notice as she has been awoke by him though and after she has - relucantly nevertheless - sat upright in bed and enabled her seeing things clear again by putting on glasses was not how Ven has already brought breakfast upstairs, how the weather outside seemed fine for journeying or how Cottonee immediately placed herself on her shoulder to tickle her cheek with her white fluff - nope, it was her ALMANAC that was laying there on the nightstand. ........Eh, she must have...forgotten to put it away yesterday night? A-Anyway, in a swift movement she packed it away and opten not to think about this anymore, mostly because Ven doesn't seem to have noticed.

Though the sensation that he CONTINUED bringing breakfast upstairs when in the last papernote she told him that he doesn't have to do that anymore, almost brought her to tears - moved tears though, which she dried with the bedlinen before they got a single chance to fall. "Oh Ven... I told you don't have to continue doing that."


++++++++


Down in the Lobby, the first thing she did was to place shining Helios onto Bill's PC again ('I'm sorry, dear one, your time to shine WILL come eventually...'), bring sweet Marill back to her person, release Lilith from her painted Premier Ball again to have her around herself, and head over to the table where Nathan was sitting with....Valder. Okay then... But she doesn't outright ask why he was there, as more important to her was somethingelse. "Eh... good morning to both of you. When you're finished talking, I guess we should....depart then.... okay?"

[Dragonstrike]

Well, whoever's approaching at the exact time Shiva is might hear this:

"...just need to swap out some of my pokemon, get a couple healing items before we head out, a few writing materials...and then aside from that, should be good to go!"

He seems to be rather excited.

...he's still a little startled when Shiva approaches, since he's so engrossed in the quick chat with Valder.

"Wah!  Oh...uh...Shiva...how long have you been standing there?"

Ventus just chuckled and gave her warm, compassionate, and dare I say loving smile as he reached over hand to lay it on her shoulder. "I know, dear. But its something I want to keep doing for us, so that is that, I suppose."

He then used his other hand to tuck a couple of stray strands of hair behind her head, and motioned for her to follow them to the table to consume their breakfast and continue on with their morning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Upon arriving in the lobby Ventus made his to the PC with Shiva, letting her conduct her party swapping first like a perfect gentlemen, before doing so him to get the team I described earlier, with the only additional thing to note is him taking the Wide Lens off Lucifer (And Giving him back his Soothing Rattle in exchange to palicate them!) and putting it on Hanael! Have to keep Item optimization in mind with team building, after all!

He then made his way over to the table (and therefore missed the tail end of Nathan's conversation) where most of the group was lottering around at, giving a respectful nod to Nathan and Ralts as his morning greeting to them, and a more cheerful one + smile to Valder. "Indeed it is a great morning, for soon we all will leave Stair at long last, and continue our journey through Cheshire! Still, I find myself having grown fond of this metallic city, so perhaps I'll pay another visit to it someday. At the very least I'll stop by Gym to speak with Dagney about Steel types in the future, once things fully settle down and the Scimitars are dealt with in one fashion or another...... (...) Regardless, I think we are all desire for a change in scenery, so when everyone else is ready to depart, so will I."

The researcher then went silent, either waiting on the others to respond, or until it was time to finally set out for Cress City...

(Quick correction: Ralts.  I know, hard to get used to again.)

"Ack!  When did you get here as well, Ventus?!"

Wow, Nathan must have been REALLY absorbed in that short conversation...

After Heart return from the Shellter he see Valder, Shiva and Nathan in the same tabble along with Ventus. Heart very much umcortable but since he dont want to delay everyone he join with them. "Heya. Good morning." Say Heart with not much enthusiasm, but with a little smile in his face. "I have everything ready to us to go."

Ventus gave the boy a curious and somewhat puzzled look at their surprised outburst, for he didn't try to deliberately try to sneak up on him this time, but quickly assumed that their prior conversation with Valder must have been their main focus (Which was backed up by the lingering feelings he's picking up) , and so answered in a easy/affable way: "Right after Shiva approached you, Nathan. I was at the PC arranging my party, and you seemed distracted with your discussion with Valder when she greeted you, so that could explain why I didn't 'appear on your radar' , as it where."

When Heart announced his presence and signal that he too was ready to depart, the sociologist clapped his hands together with a smile and said: "Excellent! Is everyone else ready to depart as well?"

The scientist was going to ask them to lead them to a place in Mt Sentry to evolve their Magnemite, but Shiva helpfully beat him to the punch, and so he let her handle the matter as she best see fit!
