DAMNED BE THE MAN whose flirting was directed towards her. Many tired, and many failed. Yet with Rey, she could only manage a rather unladylike snort and punched him in the arm. She’d picked that one up from the HUMANS only recently. He made her feel comfortable enough to not want to drown him right away. That alone was saying something. But, he had a fairly important task and the two had worked together many times before.
Kyogre WONDERED if she could CONVINCE him to mess with Groudon by moving things around- but quickly forced that thought aside. There were beings that relied on things staying where they are, and she wasn’t going to COMPROMISE SAFETY in the quest for annoying her sibling. Her eyes warily watched him, unsure on if she should take him up on the offer or not. Rey was one of the few whom she trusted, if only a little bit…
“Fine,” she agreed with a nod. “But if they DON’T have good food, you’re giving me permission to DROWN you.” Whoever told the Siren how to joke around didn’t explain it very well. She looked serious enough, despite the slight raise to her brows and the very faint smile threatening to break out. Her right hand reached for his elbow, settling in the crook nicely.
PHYSICAL TOUCH wasn’t something she necessarily needed, nor was it something she was inherently COMFORTABLE with… But, a lady needed an escort. Besides, whoever DIDN’T crave another’s presence had to be an unfeeling being. “Where is it at, anyway? It’s not here in Sinnoh, is it?” Well duh, of course it was. This is where he lived. “…Never mind that. Just ignore that. What kind of cafe is it?” There we go, that was a smarter question.
Seeing that she allowed him the pleasure of flirting with her without severe repercussion made something in his chest clench. While, yes, he was going to put that to use later, he was also concerned. Perhaps he should chance a visit to a healer... Then again, Rey wasn’t sure he was allowed back at any Pokemon Center after accidentally ripping the roof off of the one in Snowpoint a few years back.
He helped build a new one- a better one... But humans tended to hold grudges over these menial things. The short woman could pack a punch, but it didn’t affect him much- she never was a huge physical attack buff.
She spoke. No, rather, she joked. He had to look down at her to even see any mirth hidden. The mere fact that the whale was making her own jokes made him realize that they’d been apart longer than he thought they would. The titan king never anticipated ever seeing Kyoya like this. “You could drown me a thousand times over, I swear their food is good.”
She slipped her hand in his elbow and he didn’t even budge. Instead, he began walking and escorting her as she silently demanded him to do. A snort of a laugh left him at her question. “What kind? I guess you could call it a home away from home. It’s great for us, too, not just humans.” Rey explained, though he did leave out any substantial information on that.
“Let’s just say it was started up by a pretty well known family. Anyway, onto more important topics. Do you know how my kids are doing? How’s Groudon and Rayquaza doing? And, most importantly, how have you been fairing?” No playful edge to his tone, no flirtatiousness. Sincerity, only pure sincerity layered atop his voice. It mattered how the others were doing, yes, but she had always been more important to Rey.
