An Idiot, a Dragon, and Some Rock People. (PM to enter)

[Shulk]

Shulk listened to the goron in silence, he committed every detail about their problems to memory. Taking on a dragon sounded like a daunting prospect, and from the way the gorons feared this one, Shulk knew he'd need every advantage he could get if he wanted to come out the fight alive. But then the goron mentioned that Volvagia had been asleep for quite some time; Shulk's inquisitive mind thought of what they could do with this information. If the dragon wasn't going to wake up any time soon, a methodical approach could be planned out, since it didn't feel wise to rush at such a huge problem without some kind of strategy.

Then the goron mentioned that someone else was planning to kill Volvagia, Shulk "hmm"ed and "hrm"ed at this information. More help is always useful, he decided. "Who is this ma-" Shulk said, only for Rin to interrupt him, shocking the Homs with his outrage. "Rin, calm down!" He held up his hands, and looked around at all the onlookers they were attracting. The Monado wielder didn't want to know what gorons did to outsiders that offended them.

When Rin took off, Shulk looked apologetic to their goron guide, "I...I'm very sorry!" With that, he took off after his traveling companion, following him all the way out of the tunnel and back into their oppressive environment. Breathing hard from the run and sweating heavily thanks to the heat, Shulk's expression was one of genuine annoyance. "Rin, what are you thinking? You can't just ask a dragon if it's the cause of their problems!" Shulk started to chastise, but then he realized that he didn't even know what a dragon was. He'd have to take a different approach.

"I don't see any reason to doubt the gorons, it sounds like this Volvagia has always been a problem for them." Shulk reasoned, he hoped to get Rin to listen to reason. "If you wake it up and it turns out you're wrong, it could create a very big problem." He said, looking Rin straight in the eye.
