Fortune Tells All

“ Yes, well… that leads me to my other point. “ Her face hardening at the mention of battling, she knelt down beside her companion and pet the top of the Leaf Pokemon’s head.

“ … Cipher came to the village shortly before I left. Those thugs demanded we hand over out Pokemon, and… “ Fury racked her entire being at the memory of those masked thieves.

“ You remember hearing of that girl that traveled alongside the young man who took down Snagem and quelled Cipher a few years back? They… they say, she had some kind of ability like ours. A sight, one that allowed her to see the hearts of Pokemon. Snagem initially tried to get rid of her so that she wouldn’t reveal their experiments on Shadow Pokemon. “

She fell silent, waiting for Basil to draw his own conclusions on that. Besides, she needed a second to calm down herself.

“Ciper came?” All of the jovial nature in Basil’s face came to a standstill. He had known the team was causing a great deal of trouble around Orre, but he also believed them to have left their village alone. But to know that they came to start trouble?

“Yes, I had heard whispers. But nothing to link home with them. She wasn’t from our village, there was no connection to the Apajave. But still, they came?” Basil began to chew at the inside of his cheek, and old habit he thought he had quelled at a younger age.

“Is everyone alright? I can’t bear to think that something happened, and I was there to help.”

❝ am i not much like him? we could practically be twins. ❞ humored by himself (as obviously, mandus was HILARIOUS), he nuzzled his face into basil’s soft hair, breathing in his scent. ❝ lavender today? ❞ he asked in a soft hum, trying to ignore basil’s insistence on moving. he was comfortable. and sleep could wait.

❝ you are just as stubborn as i am, ❞ mandus sighed, but finally began to peel himself away from basil, if not doing so rather grumpily. he was comfortable. what was so hard to understand? ❝ guide me to my room? ❞ his fingers intertwined with basil’s, grumpy look turning into something playful.

"Yes, do you like it? I thought I would try something a bit different.” Basil gave a warm chuckle, quite pleased with his choice. While he liked to try all of the different shampoos and oils Mandus’ bathroom had, he always found himself turning back to the herbal scents that were so familiar to him.

Still, it was good to see that a bit of a gentle prodding was enough to make his lover stir. With strong hands linking with his own, Basil gave the lightest of tugs to pull Mandus to his feet.

“Just think of all the lovely things that will await you. Fresh sheets, a comfy pillow. A warm body at your side. Doesn’t that sound so much better than sitting up like you are? I can promise you great things love, if you only come with me.”

Oh, there are stars in this boy’s eyes. Soon he will have the most majestic of all bird Pokemon in his grasp.

#ic #sorry basil it's gonna be awhile before myrrh evolves #she's too comfy in ur scarf

humored, mandus snorted, but didn’t budge. he was comfortably in this spot, had a warm body on his lap, and could already feel himself dozing against basil’s shoulder. propping his cheek up against it, his eyes shut. ❝ you are quite fine, i don’t see what the problem is, ❞ he mumbled, stifling a yawn. were it possibly, he would have been practically purring under basil’s touch. ❝ … maybe. i’m still uneager to be moving. joining you in bed would require me to get up, and i am not feeling so keen on the idea. ❞

#lionfanged #rp #only like 2 weeks late sobs ;;

“I should not be surprised that a man with as much charm and confidence as yourself should also be as stubborn as a Snorlax. It is like trying to push Cairo off once he has deemed my feet to be a comfortable enough pillow.” Basil’s hand fell from his face, to linger at the steady pulse in his strong neck.

“The problem is that you are going to fall asleep here, and later complain of a stiff back and neck. And I won’t even have to use the sight to tell you I was right.” Oh, how Basil smirked at that. He allowed himself his little humorous jabs, every once in a great moon.

“And it would not be right for you to remain so stiff and uncomfortable. You will thank me in the long run, I assure you.”

“ Oh, it’s nothing really. I just want to learn and understand the world outside of the village, that’s all. It’s a goal that’s hardly worth any sort of praise. But thank you anyways. And you… huh? “

Hearing the small chirps from his robe, she paused in mid-thought as a familiar face emerged from the folds of cloth. “ Oh, little Myrrh! She’s looking well. Still tiny, but well. Then again, I don’t think it’d be very easy for her to travel that way if she were to evolve. Oh, and speaking of familiar faces, I have a bit of a surprise. “

With a small grin, she produced a Poke Ball from her satchel and tossed it upwards. A beam of light shot out and from the capsule, a Bayleef appeared before her, giving its own cry of joy at the sight of an old friend.

“ You remember little Chikorita, yes? Well, here she is. Evolved just before we left for the mainlands. Though… I still haven’t caught any other Pokemon. I suppose I’m still rather inexperienced when it comes to that. “

#OutOfFortunes #the mun is a small child

“Indeed, you would be correct. For as long as we have been together, I am almost thinking she prefers to stay this way so she can sleep in my scarf all day.” Basil chuckled lightly as he stroked the lone red feather atop the Natu’s head, who began to quickly doze off once more.

His smile began to grow though as soon as Poppy released her beloved Pokemon. Crouching down, Basil couldn’t help but give the Pokemon a good a pat on the head.

“Would you look at that! You sure have been quite the busy bee, haven’t you. I haven’t been lucky enough to see a Pokemon evolve, sadly. I’ve caught a few Pokemon myself, but...you know I don’t battle much, so they are more companions than anything.”

((I should not be laughing this much that Basil has 69 followers--))

“… She might have said something about destruction raining down from the heavens, yes. “

With a small grin of her own, Poppy adjusted the frames on her face once more and shifted the bag to her side.

“ Anyways, to get back to your question, I am fine. More than fine, I’m… inspired! You see, I’ve heard of an astounding Grass-type Pokemon from the Unova region that is able to retain water like the cacti around our village, which got me thinking that perhaps we could incorporate such Pokemon into our society in order to utilize our water supplies more effectively and therefore-”

-And there she goes, off on one of her long-winded, scientific explanations.

#solar synthesis #rp #poppy u cutie patoot #.....i just realized that is not the first time i have put that #it's tru tho

“Yes, that does sound like Momma Marjoram alright. It’s not a proper day without her predicting someone’s death.” From within the folds of Basil’s scarf, there was a quiet peeping sound. Little Myrrh had been woken up by the noises of the outside world, and for once, decided to take a look at what had made the familiar sound.

Basil grinned wide, stroking the Natu’s head as he listened to Poppy wander off on her tangent.

“It is good to see that you are alright. Not many of us seem to wish to leave the village. And it seems you have left for a much better reason than I have!”

(x)

“ ‘How have I been?’ How have you been? It’s been a while since we last heard anything from you! The tribe- everyone misses you, Mint especially. Even the elders were- Oh, I almost forgot! “

Reaching into the satchel at her side, she produced a cloth pouch and handed it over to him, the smell of herbs and Corrn Berries wafting in the air. She didn’t even need to open the pouch to know what was in there; the spices alone were indicators enough of the traditional breads and scones that Miss Majoram was renowned for.

“ Your mother wanted me to give you these in the off chance we would meet one another, though, knowing her, I’m certain she already knew we would meet anyways. “

#solar synthesis #rp #momma majoram sure likes her doom and destruction

“Oh dear, I have been quite bad at keeping in contact with everyone...” Basil’s eyes crinkled up in a weak smile, knowing it was utterly the truth. Crossing from continent to continent, sending letters was the last thing on his mind.

The fortune teller trailed off with his speech, immediately halting once a particular scent crossed his nose. It had been ages since he had last had Orrean food; it was not a popular style in the restaurants he had been to. But the herbs and spices immediately made thoughts of home flare up, and he suddenly became quite homesick. Taking the small bundle from Poppy, he pulled back a corner of the fabric, letting himself become immersed in the scent.

“I’m sure she knew well enough. Though, knowing my mother, there would have been at least three predictions of death and destruction to go with it. You would not happen to have those with you, would you?”

why would he EVER reject the possibility of kissing his beloved? and when he was fresh out of the bath, his skin radiant and hair soft from air drying, he became even more irresistible. given hardly a proper warning as he stepped out of the steamy bathroom, mandus snagged him around the waist. twirled to face him, he pressed their lips together somehow without breaking anything from the momentum. it didn't take long for him to shift from the kiss to nuzzling his neck, breathing in his scent.

Basil would not deny he had fallen in love with Mandus’ bathroom, ever since the first time he had stayed the night. Water was so scarce at home; it felt sacrilegious to spend so much time exploring all the luxuries that were at hand. Soap, shampoo, lotions, oils; all of these he took his time with.

He felt like a pauper going into that bathroom, but when he came out, he felt like a prince. And princes should always follow their kings, should they not?

With the warm hand at his waist, in the smoothest rolling of motions to press mouths together, Basil hummed into the kiss. As he would never tire of his baths, he would never tire of the strong lips that now rest beside his neck.

“I am beginning to think you wait like a lion watching its prey, for when I step out of the bathroom. I do not mind it though, Mandus, if this is what I am greeted with each time.” He smiled, quietly, and completely in a good nature.

#lionfanged #replies #look ma i finally remembered this on sinday ;v;

" Basil? Is... oh my gosh, it's really you! " Poplar smiled as she approached him, adjusting her glasses briefly. " I heard you left to travel the world a while back, but I had no idea I'd run into you here. "

“.....Poppy?” At that very moment, Basil felt he was the one who would be needing glasses at that very moment. He was quite sure the chances of meeting another back home would be virtually impossible. Ah, how the fates liked to jest.

“I had no idea I would be seeing you around here, Poppy. To be quite honest, you would be one of the last people I thought I would catch sight of! How have you been?”

almost chuckling at basil’s reflection on exactly how stubborn he was, mandus nuzzled closer, holding basil tighter as he curled against him. ❝ i am stubborn, and you are stuck with me, ❞ he informed him with great humor, taking pleasure in the idea of them being an item. basil could never leave him.

❝ you are certainly just as comfortable. i find hardly any difference between the comfort of my pillows, and the comfort of you. ❞ mandus kissed the side of basil’s neck, humming, content. it would take a lot more than promises to get him to budge.

“And so the sky is blue, and the ocean is wet. Nothing will ever change.”

There was a flighty hum to match Mandus’ own, as he felt those lips at the side of his neck. When he left his village, he never thought that he would find warmth in another’s arms, and ones so powerful at that. The world could burn, and he would not care as long as he got to reside at the lion’s side.

“And yet, I am quite certain the comfort of a pillow won’t result in a sore back and neck from trying to rest on me.” Basil’s hand found it’s way back to Mandus’ cheek, rubbing the pad of his thumb along his cheekbone. Perhaps a kind touch would be enough to persuade him.

“If I join you, will you rest for me?”

#lionfanged #rp

❝ ‘a simple cold’ is the least of your worries. what if it morphs into something more? you are honestly unaccustomed to hoenn’s rainy season—monsoons are more common than the occasional DRIZZLE. ❞ he was more worked up than he should have been. but when he looked over at basil, he saw the man who would tell him how to rule the world.

❝ i am more than happy to offer you dinner at my home, but i am loathe to say you cannot dissuade me. please allow me to convince you to stay in one of my guest rooms, even if just for the night. i will not be able to sleep well at night otherwise. ❞ a bold-faced lie. as if he cared enough about any other human being to such an extent.

mandus was still willing to give it a go, giving the fortune teller a firm stare.

❝ please, do me the honor… basil. ❞
