Touya, visiting Blueberry Academy and meeting Isaiah @/canidgrit

[bullyberry]

@canidgrit is in the way: ❛  can’t you watch where you are going ?!  ❜

First Meetings

Stella simply stares down at the boy and the papers she'd scattered from his hands. Admittedly she hadn't intended to do so but she didn't feel bad for making him drop all his work either. Nor did she intend to help him gather said work. She had intended to simply walk on, enjoy her day without a single thought to her own carelessness. But his biting remark made her stop. No dog bit her and went by without a bite back. There was a coldness to her stare that could send a chill through a Cryogonal. Her foot moves stepping on the paper closest to her and grinds the paper into the ground, tearing holes into it while the dirt from her shoe is wiped clean upon it.

"Oops. Sorry. Guess I didn't see you there." There's no sincerity to her voice. If anything it's mocking in it's apathy. "It's hard to notice runts. Even when they're in your way. Guess that's why you should be careful who you walk in front of, huh?"

"Aww, is she? That's adorable!!"

Squatting down and offering a hand for the Umbreon to sniff, Fresa doesn't really pick up on the tension of the other student. Not when such an adorable little gal is right there, getting all her attention!! She didn't see many Umbreons around Paldea - or many Eeveelutions, anyway, other than Penny's -, but this one was so cute!!

"I don't think I saw either of you before, right?" still cuddling the Pokèmon, she finally looks up at the other "I can't say I know every single student around here, but. You know..."

[vlvheart]

"By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me."

❝ am i being TOO SLOW for you ? ❞

her tone wasn't malicious, nor was the look she threw back at him; cereza was, right this moment, EXTREMELY GENUINE, and decided not to pay too much attention to her classmate's sour mood. it wouldn't be beneficial.

❝ sorry ... i guess i have A LOT on my mind. ❞ understatement of the year.

❝ but, hey ! at least it's a GOOD THING we both ended up at the same EXCHANGE PROGRAM at blueberry, right ? ❞ small talk, small talk ... maybe that'd help bring the mood up. ❝ are you getting used to it nicely ? ❞

[ Continued from here ]

She's prepared for a lecture. Expects it even. That's how these conversations always go, isn't it? She does something stupid and the other person expresses their worry, their disappointment, their frustration... She's been here before.

Needless to say, Isaiah's words caught her off-guard when it completely uprooted how she thought this would go.

"Wha...?"

Before she can prod him, he elaborates and she's left feeling stunned and... a little guilty. It hadn't really occurred to her before, but he was right. Her Pokemon... there was no way she could explain away her reckless behavior to them. All they would know is that she's hurt.

He'd given her something to mull over. Something that would actually dissuade her from the antics. At least a little. It was a start.

"Well except for Espathra. Fuck that guy."

And just like that, she's brought out of her spiraling thoughts with a sharp inhale and a fit of giggles. She covered her mouth with her good hand as she laughed.

"He'd probably say the same about you if he could talk." The laughter was dying down some, and she looked up at him with a softer smile. "Thanks... I'll... keep what you said in mind."

“You’re just ignoring everything you wish to avoid.”

Ouch, words that cut one bit too deep, far enough to draw blood. Kieran stood petrified, the hairs on his neck rising and pickling as the anger welled up in him.

"Oh please spare me with your wise words, Isaiah. I don't give a fuck, okay?" Straight up lying. His hands balled to fists, shaking in their own embrace.

“ im sorry. am i— did I disrupt your… whatever it is you’re doing now ? ”

“ i only wanted to introduce myself … sorry. ”

finally, a little bit of peace. battles had never been arven's strong suit, but he had a goal, and one that he would need to fight to achieve. his companion, it seems, is observant as ever.

“do you hate fighting?” asks @canidgrit, and arven sighs. they're two titans in, and he owes isaiah an explanation. isaiah's a tough kid because of a tough life- one that arven can't imagine. at least, not in the same way. but, he knows the look of someone who has been through hell, because he sees that in himself. isaiah is just younger. isaiah is the same age as arven was when ...

❝ sometimes you just gotta fight for the things that matter most. i don't hate it if it's for the right reasons. ❞ but, it's more than that. he might as well tell the truth.

with a flash of light, mabosstiff appears from his pokeball, tired, but alive. arven takes comfort in the fact that his best friend is still breathing, but ... it didn't change the fact that it had been years of trial and error and failed treatments- ❝ i'm fighting to save mabosstiff here. because he saved me. i was your age when it happened... ❞

❝ we were both lucky to make it out at all- and ever since then, i've been fighting for him. whatever it takes. pokemon centers haven't helped. actually, nothing has helped until ... well, he perked up a little after eating that first herba mystica... i'm hoping this one will help, too. ❞

maybe isaiah wants a different answer, so he goes on. ❝ i've gotten into my fair share of physical fights, though. and i get that it isn't healthy- director clavell has given me plenty of lectures about anger management. in a way, fighting's the only thing i know how to do in most situations. dunno if that's what you mean, though. ❞
