Searching for Stones || Clara & Steven [PMD AU Event]
@petra-ferrum
The young Espeon’s ears twitched in time with her forked tail, an indicator of her nerves. She didn’t often deal directly with people requesting the Rescuer’s Guild services–this wasn’t even a usual request for them. It was exactly because it was out of the ordinary that she was the one who needed to consult, of course.
The client in question needed her psychic powers, for what she wasn’t yet sure. Something that could only be reached and removed by her, most likely. Clara was glad to help, yes, but she wasn’t sure how communication would go. No matter; shaking off her apprehension, she trotted into the entryway of the guild hall, where Steven Stone, the Aegislash in question, was waiting.
Raising a paw to get his attention, she adjusted her bag of supplies and walked up to him, dipping her head in greeting before her eyes and gem glowed. I am Clara. You wanted my help in a mystery dungeon? The words were projected into his mind, and took all her concentration. She wouldn’t be able to say much to him once they were inside whatever labyrinth he wished to be escorted through. Hopefully he would be understanding.
The Aegislash had gone the previous day to the Explorer’s Guild, seeking out the services of a particular member, an Espeon named Clara, who was rumoured to have immense psychic ability and would therefore be able to assist him in traversing the dungeon he wished to enter. His need in entering such a dangerous dungeon was due to the fact that he needed a particular stone for his research. Likely, it could only be found on the lowermost floors of said dungeon, which was said to be filled with hostile Pokemon.
The next day as he waits at the entrance to the Guild, he eyes the Espeon as she approaches him. No words are exchanged; least not verbally. He hears her voice clearly in his mind, and a raises tasseled hand in response before projecting his own thoughts onto her: Thank you, Clara. I am Steven. Yes, I wish to be brought to the lowermost floor of Ornate Cave, where a powerful stone is said to reside. I seek to obtain that stone. I cannot do it myself but with your assistance, it will make things much easier.
Shall we go? he asks of her, after a brief moment of silence. He glides out of the door and into the sunshine, the eyes of the guild members on him as he waits for Clara to join him. Hopefully this expedition would be one that is fulfilling. He would reward her handsomely should they succeed. If they fail? Well, let’s not think about that.
