(Continuation of Rain's POV)
Wish's expression turned to concern as Rain seemed to be floundering to get his words right. He could understand as much. They dont often-.. er.. ever, come across others out here, so this was a shock to all three of them.
As per usual, Reconstruct was awful when it came to any social interactions, and as such, not helpful in this situation what so ever.
'Come on there has to be something…!'
Wish's thoughts were interrupted by an idea that struck him. Reaching into one of his back pockets, he pulled out a small bag- dull in color, with the word "jerky" blurred across the side. Upon opening it, the smell of spiced dried meat came wafting from it. Putting on his best face, trying to look as least intimidating as possible (not that he ever could pull off such a look), he held the bag out to the boy.
"Oh! Are you hungry, maybe? Here! I have plenty of jerky, youre welcome to have some! No need to be shy, please help yourself!" The Eevee nudged the bag in Rain's direction, trying to entice him to take a piece. "Its really good~" he added with a playful tune.
He figured some food might ease the boy's nerves and maybe, just maybe, he'd be able relax around them. After all, who knows how long he'd been out here!
"Great.. youre giving him our food now, too.." Came the gruff voice of Reconstruct as he made himself reluctantly join the conversation. He reached into the offered (not to him) bag, and taking out a piece of jerky.
"…Would you like some too…?" Wish asked dryly, trying very hard to keep the sarcasm out of his tone.
"Well since you offered.." Reconstruct replied unbothered, biting down onto the dried meat, and tearing off a piece as he chewed it over.
Wish closed his eyes momentarily, drawing in a calming breath, giving up on any argument before it had even started.
"So, are you lost?" Wish tried again, then realized that was a silly question. "Oh- well I mean, its just that we dont see people out here very often-"
"Ever." Reconstruct interjected. "No one else should be out here"
"B-but.. you two are out here..?" Rain added, pointing out the hypocrisy.
Reconstruct only spared him a sharp glare. He didnt need this boy's sass. (Even if he did make a point.)
"Oh… well, ah.. its…. complicated.." Wish muttered, looking sheepish as he scratched the back of his head.
"And none of your business-"
"Would you stop that?!" Wish hissed back at his partner. "Youre not helping.."
Reconstruct shrugged indifferently.
Wish glanced back at Rain in the same concerned face as before, then back to Reconstruct. He kept his voice low, even tho there was little point as Rain was standing right in front of him, so any secrecy wasnt going to be very secret. "We should help him.. But where do we even start..?"
Finishing off his piece of jerky, and helping himself to another, Reconstruct didnt appear to share the same concern.
"I tell you what.." he started, "Since youre the one that found him, you can be the one to deal with him." He added a less than playful slap on Wish's back, the force causing the Eevee hybrid to stumble forward, thankfully catching himself before he fell over.
"W-well- Wait- What are you going to be doing, then??" Wish asked, confused.
"Hm? Oh im not dealing with whatever this is. You let me know when you figure it out." With that the Silvally hybrid washed his hands of the situation, excusing himself from the conversation. He walked a few feet away and found himself a spot on the desolate rock, making himself quite comfy on the ground; laying on his side, back turned to the other boys, and continuing eating the piece of jerky.
Wish's ears and tail wilted in defeat. He looked back to Rain who was looking even more confused now. He really wanted to put his mind at ease. After all, how else could they help, if he was too wary to speak to them? Putting on smile, he shuffled himself to be a bit closer (but not too close).
"Dont worry about him. He's a little rough around the edges but he's actually really nice once you get to know him."
There was a loud huff of disagreement.
Wish smirked in his small victory, even if it was only temporary. Now to get back to the matter at hand.
"So.. Uh.. How about we start this over, hm?" Wish cleared his throat, straightening up. "Hi! My name is Wish. You seem to be lost. Perhaps we can help you get home?"
(And then stuff happens here : D Wish is probably going to babble on like he knows what he's talking about and help get his new found friend home!.. Pretty sure anyway.)
