"I was beginning to think you had quit."

She's well aware that there was a reason for Vivianne's absence, but she won't say anything. "Soft Elk was looking for you." It always liked being around people It saw often. Vivianne was one of them, considering they worked together.

"Ahhhh~, so you're the one who took my date?" he asks with a playful lilt.

Ilseong laughs and shakes his head, "I'm only kidding. I'm Hong Ilseong, by the way. I guess you can say I'm Cecil's friend!"

Ismael inhales as she draws back the string of her bow, and then she holds it for a moment while she aims the arrow at a tree trunk. It's just another day for target practice.

She exhales, and when she does, she releases the arrow. The sound of an arrow cutting through the wind and hitting the tree trunk fills the quiet forest.

"Bullseye--Nice!"

What is he supposed to do with all these flowers that were popping up? He didn't want to keep them, so his next thought was to give them away. Spotting a girl and putting on his best smile.

"Hey, I'm new here, and I thought it would be weird if I walked around without introducing myself to the other residents. And flowers are a good conversation starter. So my name is Suguru. Would you like a flower?"

"Oh, how cute! Is it yours?" Susie says. "I used to have one just like it! You know, come to think of it..."

"Yoo-hoo! Chippy! Come here, girl! Come here!"

She pats her skirt and tries calling over the Eevee, like it's going to ditch its owner on a whim. (And even if the Pokémon did leave its trainer, it's not like Susie has much experience with them...)

it's strange, being in an unfamiliar city- away from most everything that he had known. surely, without charizard- no, charmander, for some reason- at his side, grisham was certain he would've ... well, what would he have done? it wasn't his first time being on his own.

life hadn't been easy after the collapse of team flare. he had been told all of his life that the world was meant to be beautiful- whatever that was supposed to mean. that he should be able to shape it in a way that would make it better. he remembered listening to lysandre's words, following every order without question, because it meant the world would be more beautiful, right? all he had earned from that was five years of struggling to make ends meet. of being an outcast in society because of a path that ... he wanted to say he didn't choose, but was that even true?

it's charmander's delighted chirp that breaks grisham from his thoughts. the little lizard pokemon had spotted a very fluffy eevee- a familiar thing- and had hustled over to the other pokemon as fast as his little legs would take him. it didn't take grisham long to catch up to his pokemon and scoop him into his arms. ❝ i am so sorry- i wasn't watching him as closely as i should have been- ❞

it hits him then that the fact this young woman was accompanied by an eevee meant that not everything was so unfamiliar. he puts on his best smile, warm and inviting- ❝ your eevee is beautiful, though. ❞

the first thing he notices is the eevee. the same one that had come by with that little sign and a basket of candy. the second thing he notices is the young woman nearby. he thinks that they match, the eevee and the woman- there's something warm about the two of them and az wonders if there will be a day where that little eevee with its well kept coat and bright eyes will evolve into a sylveon.

it would make sense, so long as it continued to be raised with love. ⎛ a precious thing, not to be wasted or taken for granted. love, when burned, was so very hard to repair. trust, when broken ... ⎠ ❝ pardon, mademoiselle, ❞

❝ you are this eevee's keeper - trainer, perhaps? ❞ every so often he has to remind himself that no one has called them 'keepers' in centuries. it is a reminder of the millennia in his bones- of the distance between himself and others. but perhaps, not always- ⎛ he was not always alone, even if those years passed in a blink- ⎠ ❝ your eevee was kind enough to bring sweets the other night. i would like to offer my thanks to you, as well. kind actions are taught by kind people, i would like to think. ❞

@dazzlxd asked for a starter.

Mahito had come slinking into the Cotes Ward to find where Geto was staying. Since their last conversation, he'd been itching to try and coax Geto back away from those nonsense sorcerers - but standing in front of Geto's door, there was no answer when he knocked on the door.

He must not be home. How annoying.

He's still standing in front of the door when he spots someone else approaching and he turns with a bright smile, innocence written across his face.

"Oh - are you here to see Geto? I was coming to pay him a visit, but it doesn't seem like he's home."
