3 with Rai and Luci : 3
Luci tried to squirm for some more room, but to no avail. Missions werenât usually soâŠannoying, but this once toke the cake. She was so closeâŠand now, well now she was stuck in a closet with some stranger.Â
âYou know, Iâm not enjoying this anymore than you are!â She puffed up, scowling at him.

âGood idea, laying low for that amount of time should throw them off our trail and they will give up on trying to look for us, for the time being anyway. Now while we wait do you have enough food to last for two days? You can never be too careful you know.âÂ
âI should have enough food for us, but it wonât be five star meals, it probably wouldnât hurt to see what we canât round up nearby as extra rations, like you said you can never be too careful,â Luci nodded. âThe woods round here has plenty of good eats, if you know where to look,â
âThat is good to know, we wont have to worry about straying too far from here and will be able to find what we can to eat. Alright we have the food situation taken care of is there anything else we should look into to make sure we are properly prepared?â
âNah I think we will be fine, we will just have to share the place for awhile, I donât mind, though I havenât exactly lived with others before for very long, so excuse my manners, Iâve been told I can be quiteâŠblunt,â She chuckled. âThereâs a bath out back if you want to get cleaned up, natural hot springs rockâŠI was lucky enough to have one nearby,â
âThat sounds like a good idea. I believe you should do the same since we both were cramped in that closet for a while anyway.â The Gardevoir said as he made his way out to the back where she said the hot springs were and got a good look at everything there before deciding to slip into the water.
The hotsprings themselves were quaint, being pretty small and having nothing overly special about them except being secluded. The water was warm, but not too hot, having a creek that fed cool water into the pool. It was rather pleasant, being in the peace of the woods, but this peace was cut short as Luci cannonballed into the spring causing a splash.
âCannonball!â
âThis startled Rai for a moment as he was not expecting to see a ball or red and white fur suddenly go over his head and into the water making a splash as he raised his hands to cover his face from the incoming water. âSeems like you certainly like to make an entrance now do you?â The Gardevoir said looking over at the Zangoose with a small smile but a smile nonetheless as how relaxed she was given the current situation.
âAlways know how to make an entrance, and an exit,â She smiled a toothy grin, relaxing back into the spring and began floating.
âSo, how long you thinking of sticking around? Not that I donât like company but, I didnât really want to fully involve you in all my drama, that wouldnât be very fair to you,â
âI think iâm already involved enough as it is dont you think? Whoever is after you now will be after me since they have seen my face before we both went into hiding into that tight space. They might come looking for me now that I know the things youâve told me beforehand. I cant put you in danger like that now.â Rai said as he just relaxed into the water while watching the Zangoose float around in the hot spring.
âI appreciate the concern but i dont think it would be right for me to just up and leave now in my opinion. So I want to help.â
âHehâŠcanât argue with that, welcome to the team,â She chuckled floating over to where he was relaxing. âWell as long as youâre on board, I promise to do everything I can to make sure you donât get hurtâŠIâm tired of people getting hurt,â She floated in place for a moment before laughing.
âItâs funny, the only friends I seem to make are the ones that get roped into my mess,â
âThank you but you dont have to try so hard. I will be there to make sure you arent injured yourself either. So no matter what we have one anothers back through out this journey.â The Gardevoir said as he looked at the Zangoose and just smiled at her.
âIf we see something that we know looks like too much for either of us, we back up and regroup no matter what okay? Finding out what happened is important, but what is more important than that is making sure we are there to complete it. Neither of us need to get reckless and get in over our heads and try something alone.â
Luci just luaghed. âWhew, well you have your job cut out for you, I can be pretty reckless. Sometimes all I can think about is finding out what happened and⊠making everyone involved pay but youâre right, information and sweet revenge wonât mean much if weâre dead,â She let out a sigh.
âMaybe having a sidekick will be a good thing,â
âPartner, not sidekick.â The Gardevoir said as he relaxed in the water still looking over in her direction. âWe must make sure we have each others back in all of this alright?â
"Partner eh?" She chuckled. "I haven't had a partner in a long time, you sure you're up to that challenge, my last partner and I didn't exactly part on good terms,"
