Terra perked up when both Nathan and Heart approached him and asked about his return trip, firmly clasping the pretty blue stones that he was toying with moments prior and turning to address the two men with a light smile....
…Until Cottonee made neatly interrupted him by their expediate arrival and subsequent cheery welcome and entreat for some toasty marshmallows. The rugged wanderer was hardly perturbed by that, however, as he chuckled at the fae plant's antics and nodded back to them, before reaching into his pocket, pulling out three marshmallows and.....a long metal skewer?
Questions around the inclusion of the cooking implement were swiftly dispel when he stuck all three of the white treats on it (with even space between them all), then lowered it towards Melly and quietly grunted. This caused her to stop feasting on her pile of sweet melted fluff to look up at him, the presented marshmallows, putting two and two together, and then happily *Bark-fwoosh!*, letting out a small gout of flame that toasted the marshmallows to perfection! He gave her a head caress for a her services - to which she pleasantly rumbled out before she returned to her own 'meal' - then deftly plucked off the caramelized candies and placed them in front of the Fluffball Fairy with a smile.
"Here. Enjoy, Cottenee."
Afterwards, he turned to address the group as a whole, nodding at them all before he answered their respective inquires.
"Yes. Trip went very well. Tiny Pink Mew....was not there, in or out of cave *Sighs in relief*. Was able to get partners back safely too. Tommy was fine, but Lovely was.....anxious to see me. *Frowns* ….Had to calm him down....tell him everything was okay. *Smiles again* Took time to teach him Hidden Power too. Had him.....test it to see what it did."
Pausing for a moment, Terra extended his hand containing the raw lapis lazuli(s) to the group and revealed them for closer inspection.
"Quickly shot out these blue stones, so I think its a Rock type Move. Not sure if they have value, but they are pretty (Cue Shiva/Nathan pipping up about Crafting them!)."
He closes his hands and brings it back to the table after everyone got a nice look at the goods, and continued where he left off without missing a beat.
"After that, had Gallade take me back here. Decided to wait until you two *Points to both Nathan and Shiva*, before doing other stuff."
Saying that, he reached down to his belt and pulled off Gallade's worn Premier Ball, and handed back to their partner with a nod.
"Did not need Gallade's help....but it was nice to have. Thank you, my friend"
The simple monk then faced Shiva, and gave them a soft, kind smile.
"Thank you too, Shiva. Your letter....made me feel good. Special.....cared for. *Nods* Will do best to.....be the man you think I am. Not easy to do.....but I will try. Promise."
*Pauses, then speaks to her in a questioning tone*
"Want to go forage Berries and plants with me later? Today? *Pauses* Can take Genie with us too, if you want. (She) Would be happy to have playdate with you anytime. Not that friendly everyone normally, but she is.....eager to get to know you better. *Frowns thoughtfully, while stroking his beard* …Not sure if that is good thing or not. *Shrugs* …But she will behave with you. ...Or not cause too much trouble. ...I hope. Hm..... we will see later *Nods*"
Terra didn't have much to say to Heart, but their own comments towards Shiva caused his eyebrows to shoot straight up as he scanned their form for ANY lingering Damage, before his stare hopped over to Nathan, looking at the boy both questioningly and.....mildly peeved. The collector's being blasted by MEW was something that they had failed to mention to him during their earlier conversation, and now he more irritated than ever about their choice in teleporting him away. Had they left him and ran, Heart wouldn't had been so severely injured, so that meant his sacrifice would have been a completely VALID choice on his part, if the boy hadn't interfered.
Of course, that small revelation didn't make him suddenly disregard what they taught him, but it had left him more annoyed than ever at them. Fortunately, such 'animosity' will be cleared by the end of day, but he won't soon forget about this...
Orders: Terra gives an info dump to everyone, and re-extends the offer to take Shiva Berry Hunting with him, along with her meeting with Genie in depth for their 'playdate'! For now, that's it!
"Huh. Did Melly just use Flamethrower? Cool." Gallade chuckles and makes a so-so gesture with his hand to Nathan. "No? It's not Flamethrower? But it looks exactly like...oooohhhh, wait a second...Hidden Power, isn't it? That's even cooler."
When shown the gemstones, Nathan eyeballs them for a moment...
"...well, if Lapis Lazuli's Hidden Power is anything like Pay Day, you probably could sell them if you gather enough...small gemstones are good for making jewelry and stuff, too." Nathan's necklace clinks quietly as he talks.
He swiftly pockets the Dull Premier Ball once it's handed to him. "Glad he didn't have to push any panic buttons. Also good to know the Unowns' collective HIDDEN POWER seems to last less than 2 hours...don't have to worry too much about anyone stumbling on an angry Legendary unexpectedly..."
...and when he stops thinking to himself, that's when he notices Terra looking Heart up and down, and then staring at him.
"...what? I know basic first aid. Administered it at the soonest opportunity, before any lasting damage was done, then took him straight to a professional. Besides, you had more pressing things to worry about at the time. Didn't want to worry you unnecessarily."
"Besides Terra, I already get worse conditions before: Hand almost squished by a rock pokemon, eletrified by a eletric energy of a eletric pokemon, receiving some psychic attack of a Ralts. I get used it to some situations so no need to worry about me."

"*Nods* Yes. Was surprised her H.P. was like that. *Chuckles* Melly was excited about it. Gave her whole bag of marshmallows to 'practice' Move with (He smiling wryly as he says that). Was very happy to do that , he he he...."
The lightning wolf lets out an enthusiastic *Woof!* in agreement, the sound muffled by all the sugary fluff in her maw. Yeap, she was MORE than willing to 'train' with her absolute FAVORITE treat as the 'training aid' ! She can practice her HP Fire by toasting them all, before she has to 'clean up' the sweet, goopy, and sugary 'mess'! Yaaaaaaay~!!!
Nathan's assessment of Lovely's HP Rock managed to cause the simple monk to blink a couple of times in realization, before he started to stroke his chin beard thoughtfully again.
"Hmm.....you are right. *Nods* Will start collecting the gems now. *Shakes head* ...Need someone to cut them right, though. Raw small gems not very valuable, until prettied up right, and made into luxury products...."
Shiva and Heart might be caught off guard by Terra's Knowledge concerning things of fiscal/wealthy nature, but not Nathan, given he knows the most about his background.
The boy's mumbling about the Genetic Unown and MEW caused the content joy to fade away from Terra briefly, as it was replaced by utmost grave seriousness and solemnity as he nodded.
"No, they will not."
Their next comments afterwards only caused the mountain of man to frown at them admonishingly, before closing his eyes and *sighing* , grumbling wordlessly to himself. While he can understand the reason they surreptitiously left out that tidbit and accept it somewhat, its was hard for them to feel any less annoyed at them for it. One does not omit details like that, especially since Heart's injuries would have served as a 'nice' example of how 'right' his earlier decision at the time was. Hopefully they don't make a habit out of that, because he doesn't want to have a reason to dislike or distrust them any....

The rare collector's comments snapped Terra out of his irritated fugue, causing him to gaze over at them in a mixture of pure surprise, uneasy amazement, and undisguised reservations, before he covered his face with his great big slab of a hand and let out what sounded like a muffled groan. Ven said that Heart was a bit.....danger prone at times, and he had an inkling of that himself after they all but forced his hand in accompanying them as they waltzed into the Skull Ruins, but he didn't know how bad it was until he heard that choice snippet of hazardous Encounters from the man himself. Something tells him keep them safe and unharmed will be quite the challenge. Oy vie......

"...*ahem*...in any case, I made a new friend around an hour ago. Whole reason we went on that trip to the cave in the first place. You guys want to meet him along with me? The Professor said he should be conscious by this time."

Nathan, as scatterbrained as he can be sometimes when talking about certain topics, also remembers something else. "Oh yeah, before I forget, Heart..."
He digs around in his bag for a moment, then pulls out some cash and a Great Ball.
"Sold that Star Piece and the Stardust earlier ($4900 + $1500 = $6400. Means Nathan and Heart get $3200 each), so here's your half of the cash. And one of the Great Balls Laurelin gave me as a reward for catching the Unown." (I'm assuming Heart gave the Star Piece to Nathan earlier along with the loaned pokeball since I didn't get a response. I hope that's okay since we agreed on splitting the cash both IC and OOC, @ Spiritmon. I'll edit/delete this post as appropriate if not.)

That comment served well to distract him from the haphazardous antics of Heart, removing their hand from their face and giving Nathan a nod of his head, looking calmly intrigued at the prospect. Fossil Pokémon were extraordinarily rare even back home, so he was curious to see what the clever trainer ended up getting revived....

(Sweet, both metaphorically and literally! I'll give her the point in Happiness, as she's already gained a point of Loyalty from standing up to MEW!)

(Heart indeed gave the Star Piece for Nathan. I forget to put that in my post, sorry^^")
"Thank you Nats. Thats Pokedollars will indeed help quite a lot in buying some important items. *Nods* Sure! Lets meet your new friend. Friends its always a good. But make it quick if possible. I still have a Gym battle to go, and I delay too much already. My pokemons from this might already be heal to get ready to go!"

(Before I forget @ Dragonstrike)
Heart before anything ask something to Nathan. "Nathan, could you teach some of my pokemons the HM Rock Smash? Some of them might make good use of such move: Alola Geodude and Ambipom. They still dont learn that move, and that could be useful."

"Oh, don't worry Heart, it shouldn't take long. I've got things I need to do this evening too. Now then, everyone be gentle. He's still basically only a baby. If you could make sure Melly doesn't overexcite him, Terra, that'd be great."
Out comes Nathan's new Anorith! He ends up in the middle of the table, where everyone can see him. Nathan leans over the table so he's looking right at Anorith, eye to eye. "Hey there little guy. How ya feeling?"
