Emily@Shylo: "What? No hello from an old friend?" The actress gardevoir chuckled lightly as she placed a dark colored hand on her hip, watching the Meloetta from the side of the theater lobby. "It's been a while since I've seen you in person, Shylo."

"Sorry I didn't notice you at first. Sorry I've been rather distracted lately. Haven't really been keeping tabs on friends and colleagues due to it." He shrugged making his way through the lobby."It's not easy making time for communication as a legendary with so much on their plate." He sighed rubbing his neck.

Tex had picked up on the slight bit of doubt from Oriel about her gift. He smiled and returned her hug “I really do love it. Paperwork gives me such a headache, so this is just what I needed.” He smiled. “Besides sometimes it can be a lil too quiet in the office. It will give me a nice peace of mind.”

“though I have noticed you’ve been more confident lately. Which is a good thing that you’re building confidence in yourself. And I’ll gladly keep cheering you on.” He chuckled watching her enjoy her coat.

“So what would you like to do first? I see there’s alot of activities and I know we didn’t get to enjoy too many last year. Maybe we can try a few we haven’t before?”

He tilted his head as he skimmed through the activities card. There were so many, he knew a few of the activities were already underway. He had watched Gigit destroy Rama with snowballs while he was looking for Oriel. Maybe a snowball fight would be a lil on the aggressive side if they played with Gigit. But he wasn’t quite sure.

Oriel tapped her bottom lip with an index finger as her eyes scanned across the list of festivities along with Texas. So many activities to partake; snowball fights, snowman-building, ice skating, relaxing in the lounge, going to the dining hall, singing on the stage… it doesn’t look like a dance will happen, at leeeeeast not until the end. Something more fun and light-hearted should be their focus.

With a clearing of her throat, Oriel smiled lightly at Texas as she proposed the following, much to the Cacturne’s surprise[?];

“A-ah, erm, if I may…” Oriel began with her fingertips prodding together, “… we could, er… attempt the snowball fight activity…? I admit, seeing Lixue enjoy herself with that activity has made it seem quite inviting, n-not to mention with this coat you’ve commissioned for me, I would feel a lot warmer and prepared for such a playful bout…”

Oriel looks away, but her cute humble smile remained, “… What do you say…?”

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Tex blinked for a moment before smiling "Yeah a snowball fight seems fun! Especially now that you have a thicker coat that is water proof. You shouldn't get soaked from the snow. The only thing is gigits also running around like a menace to society playing with her family. And she and Rama are pretty competitive. But if you don't mind accidentally stumbling onto them then I'd love to play. It's been awhile since I last had a snowball fight." He chuckled.

"So should we head out then? It be fun to play before it gets too cold or too crowded." He smiled while getting up from his seat. "Luckily we won't have to wonder to far to play thanks to all the snow this year."

Tex couldnt hold back his smile seeing her like the coat he had commissioned for her. It warmed his heart to see her enjoy its soft fur and silks. He was glad he   requested to make it both soft and warm. When she asked him where he got the cloak he smiled and made a gesture over to where lixue was prancing.

“The same gentleman who made Lixue’s dress. See the owner of that tailor shop is both Gigit’s cousin and is a member of my current team at the GBG. He treats his shop more so as a hobby as he likes to work with his hands. I remembered that last winter you were a bit chilly, so I had commissioned him to make you a coat back when you spent the night at my place. We decided to make it purple to match your eyes and horn colors. I told him you were both artistic but you also liked simplicity as well. So he took some artistic liberty with the info I gave him thanks to us writing each other, and this is what he made. It’s both rain, cold, and wind proof, but he also made it out of a soft breathable silk so you shouldn’t overheat too much.” He smiled.

“I thought you would like a nice coat. And I’m glad to see you like it. It also has pockets on the inner part of the coat to keep your phone and your left pocket also has a pair of matching white gloves in it. Just in case you needed a pair.”

He then opened his box and his eyes widened when he saw what was inside it.

“Oh wow! This is really pretty.” He smiled picking up the jingling shell. “It’s very soothing. It will definitely help keep me calm when dealing with paperwork.” He purred as he took off his previous chain that she had purchased him before and entwined the two together before putting them back on and safely tucking them in his shirt. “Thank you. it’s very lovely and I love the noise it makes. I see alot of care went into making it” he smiled and cupped her hand in his.

“Heh luckily as chief I will mostly be leading from inside the walls of ganguana. The only time I’d be on the field is if the empire is in a state of emergency. So I shouldn’t be in too much danger. Though perhaps I should get you a pendant? I also worry about you in your line of work.”

“Truly…?” Oriel cocked her head to the side, flattered to hear that Texas had snuck in this coat as a behind-the-scenes commissioned gift specifically for her. To hear him wanting to make this so special for the Gardevoir brought an adorable faint rosiness to her cheeks, coupled with a sheepish yet earnest smile, leaning forward to give Texas a hug. “You’re so nice to me, Texas… this is so thoughtful of you…” she giggled, all while shifting in her seat as she saw the Cacturne soak in her gift.

Now she felt a little inferior next to him since her gift wasn’t as big, but in her head at least it was beautiful enough for him to make such a comment to the bell, which was enough to lift her ears back up in relief. “I couldn’t help but worry what your line of duty would mean for you once you become promoted… granted, as you said you will not become, er, DIRECTLY involved as much, but you may never know when and where danger would lurk, yes? I figured a custom-crafted Shell Bell would do wonders. Its chimes are simply divine, as if it could ease ones’ mind into the sea’s waves themselves… it’s said it could even cure headaches…!”

Bunching up in her cloak and soaking in the warmth, Oriel let out an almost dreamy sigh, her ears lowering like a pleased dog would as it was petted. In fact, she had her eyes closed from the heated embrace, before batting them open at the Cacturne’s concern.

“A-ah, well… the battle league has been intense and er, as rowdy as it has always been… excitable, thrilling, and, er, lots of pressure…” she started awkwardly, as a smile slowly began to take over with a confident nod, “… H-however… feeling myself become stronger, gaining more consistent wins, and reassurance from my brother and sister have certainly done wonders. I almost feel anew…! … and while yes, I have suffered some, casualties…” she trails off while tracing her fingertips over a few scars while glancing sideways… “… and had some close matches…” The embracer’s purple eyes turned back up to Texas with a more reassuring glint, “… the confidence I’ve gathered steadily over the months… I’ve come to believe in myself a little more every day. So don’t fret, alright Texas…? I’m… I-I’m sure I’ll be alright.” The Gardevoir edges a little closer, blinking up at the friendly cactus with an endearing smile.

“… If anything… just keep cheering for me, at least…?”

Texas sighed while rubbing his hands together as he entered the lounge from the outside snow. It was chillier than it was last year, perhaps he shouldn’t have worn the same outfit as he did the year prior…maybe he should had checked the weather to make sure he had the right kind of gloves. He smiled feeling the warm air kiss his claws and warm them.

He smiled as he checked to make sure the gift box tucked under his arm didn’t appear to have any damage. he stiffened up to look through the crowd of ‘mon spending time warming up trying to spot his friend.

“Hmmm…. I hope i have the right cabin….we really should have specified a meet up point. I did spot Alyx a few minutes ago….so she should be here already…“

When he spotted Oriel he smiled and made his way towards her, keeping an eye out so he wouldn’t accidentally step on anyone. Once he was close enough he said “Ah hello Oriel! I finally found you. Took me a bit to find the right area.“ He chuckled while nervously rubbing his neck.

“I like how open of a location they chose for this year though, a lot of areas to explore. Oh also I got you a little something to say happy holidays.“ He smiled and handed her the gift wrapped box. “I am not great at wrapping things so I ask Gigit to make me one of those boxes that give you the illusion they are wrapped. Plus it makes it easier to open.“ he mused as he pulled up a chair to sit next to her.

[thevaloroushearts-rp]

While the lounge was a very friendly and social place for the attendees, so much so that a certain mint-colored Gardevoir was smiling from feeling her chest glow amongst this sea of positive vibes, it wasn’t quiiiite enough to urge her to go around and meet new faces. As Lixue happily pranced around waving hi to these good Pokemon and making them feel as welcome as she does, Oriel could only muster up some sheepish waves with delicately undulating fingertips during her stay thus far.

Once a very familiar and relieving voice reached her ears, the Gardevoir perked herself up and turned herself around, eyes  alight upon seeing Texas seating next to her. Oh thank goodness, she could hardly contain herself, clasping her hands and fingers together as she happily greeted the friendly and silly Cacturne.

“Texas…! Welcome, welcome…!” she started, her shyness almost dissipating in that instant. Before she could get a word in, her close friend presented a little giftbox to her. Eyebrows arching high, the seawind sorceress gently cradled it into her delicate hands, smiling at the present before gazing up at the other Pokemon.

“Oh Texas, this is quite sweet of you…! A-ah, hah, it’s actually, I come bearing something for you in turn…!”

Placing the giftbox aside, Oriel reached into her flowy sweater pockets and offered an oblong box to him, her smile hopeful, if also a little anxious.

“I admit I… I’ve worried about you a lot, especially with the new position you’ll be christened with in a matter of months… but then again, when don’t I…?” she forces a weak chuckle, a lame attempt at a joke to ease her own nerves, even if it was Texas. Bless her heart.

“This isn’t as, er, grandiose as the pendant I brought you before… but perhaps it could assist you in another way…? A-after all, being on such duty sounds potentially perilous… I certainly hope you like it.” As the box was given, a faint jingle could be heard within, followed with a faint echo that resounded a tender wave of water.

“Such a large box…” Oriel glanced down at it as she lifted it in her hands. It didn’t feel heavy per se, but it was definitely ‘full’. Ever curious yet polite, the Gardevoir looked up at Texas with the following inquiry.

“If, if it is no trouble to you, would it be alright for me to open this now, or…? … Y-you’re free to do the same with mine if you please…!”

Once given the cue to do so, Oriel smiled and mindfully lifted the lid, blinking her eyes as she pulled out the contents. As it was revealed, Oriel’s eyes widened and ears flicked with both awe and relief, as her fingers felt through the material.

“Ooh my goodness, this is quite lovely…!” she glimmered at the coat, gently holding it to her heart to take in its warmth. Almost like a kitten, she nuzzled her cheek against the fur, her earfins lowering contently to the sensation. Lest she was lost in it, however, she caught herself and glanced back up at Texas with a blushy smile.

“It’s as comforting as it is beautiful…! Texas, where did you acquire this…?”

Texas furrowed his brows as her glanced through the books to try and find something she would enjoy watching and he chuckled to himself as he plucked a red disk from it’s plastic cover and walked over to his television to insert it into the disk tray “How bout a parody adventure movie? This is one of those movies that pokes fun at paranormal mysteries, it’s one of those it’s so bad on purpose that it’s funny.” He smiled as he pulled a blanket from the trunk behind his sofa and sat by her draping the large blanket over their laps as he hit the play button. “I’m afraid I don’t have many comedy’s that fit with most your other likes. I definitely have horror paranormal mysteries. But we don’t want you shaken up.” He smiled.

When the movie started he pulled some of his side of the blanket uo to his chin to get cozy. He glanced over at her to make sure she was comfortable with him sitting beside her or if she wanted him to scoot a bit further to the other end of the sofa.

However, he quickly realized how childish most the humor would be and he grew concerned if she would even enjoy it or be bored. “Uhm…your alright with parodies right? I wouldnt want to play something boring but then again I wouldn’t want to excite you too much with the current time. Also forgive me it I do nod off. I uhh…I’m not used to staying up past 8 or so. Mostly because most my friends I would stay up to visit have kids and turn in early themselves.” He chuckled a bit half-heartedly “guess I’m just old.”

“But I hope you do enjoy a quieter atmosphere, who knows maybe you’ll sleep better with the sounds of the forests of ganguana than a busy city like Altiel. There is a creek a few homes down that you can usually hear the bugs and frogs near it when the rest of the city has bedded down. Hopefully you dont have nightmares tonight. If you do I have tea in the kitchen that might help calm you back down.” He smiled. “It helped me with my insomnia and vivid dreams when I first moved here.” He said with a light smile before returning his attention to the movie.

“It’s a jewel of it’s own. Only a red and orange one instead of a green one like ganguana.” He smiled. “It may be a bit harsh but it’s perfect for us Cacti Pokemon.”

Texas rubbed the back of his neck chuckling with a bashful blush on his cheeks at her compliment of his cooking followed by her smile. He stood up, took their plates and placed them in the dishwasher before putting away the left overs and rinsing out the cooking pots. He tapped his chin at her question of what to do next and snapped his fingers “Oh we could watch a movie!” He smiled and lead her into his living room walking to a bookcase packed with movies arranged neatly and alphabetically. “I’m not sure if you’ve seen any of these. But maybe one if them will suffice? Sorry I’m normally alone this time of night unless my friends are over for drinks and such. So I uh…don’t really do much before I hit the hay.” He chuckled a bit half-heartedly to himself.

“If not I also have a few board games and the like if you would rather prefer that?”

Texas smiled and nodded as he ate when she questioned if it was alright for her to keep the cards "I really don't mind. These sort of things are made to be shared."

He let out a light hearted chuckle when she mentioned excess pepper would make her sneeze "Oh it's not the spice pepper that our house smelled like, but the actual veggies. My mom used to hang them in the windows to dry them out to use in recipes that needed dryer ingredients. Alot of people do that over there, that or they lay them out in the sun to dry." He smiled "But then Again our noses are very different so I'm not sure if it make you sneeze or not."

When she started talking about Altiel he fell silent as he ate to make sure he was listening properly. He smiled picturing all the colors and activity that seemed to surround the city, and the buzz of people going about their day and the description of the cities energy itself perked his interest. When he saw the small bit if discomfort in her body language as she spoke of the brash people that lived there he gave an understanding smile knowing those sort of people lived in all settlements.

He continued to listen intently while he ate making sure he didn't interrupt her until she finished. When she asked about his birth lands he stood up for a moment to grab a second serving and processing his own words before sitting down and smiling

"Well it's very hot during the day and gets kinda cold at night. But unlike most deserts the sand is red in color. And my settlement itself was somthing kinda unique in it's own way. It was a small town, only a few hundred civilians as it served as a watering hole for weary travelers on their way to the Capitol. But something similar to Altiel is that the buildings were large, however they were carved in a cactus native only to Geoda. These cactus are massive, picture a fifteen to twenty story building, only it's a living plant. Our entire town was made in those cacti. Of course my house itself was a two story carved into a young cactus with some Adobe coating the inside to keep it cool during the day. There were many farms around the area as a river was located nearby. People there are Hardy and stubborn, and are more active at dawn and dusk when the temperature is just right in order to get manual labor like farming done. Most people nap around noon there to beat the heat, and there were big bon fires at night in the center of town where people would drink Cactus juice, which was an alcoholic beverage common there, kids would drink cactus fruit juice, and people would bring food and treats made from the fruit of these cacti. And when the sun sets in Geoda it turns everything pink in color instead of a blue or purple color that you'd see in other regions. The air was pretty clean too, at least until sandstorm season which happened at the end of winter. Most people stayed inside during the storms as it's very easy to get lost in one. But the funnest time of year is monsoon season, where big rainstorms pass through, kids love to play in the rain over there." He smiled

"But it's definitely a place where a fur coat or being an ice type will make it difficult to live there. I'm surprised my dad has lived there so long being a species that needs alot of water." He chuckled. "I due miss it from time to time. But Ganguana is my home now, and it's alot better for multiple people to live here. I definitely couldn't have had my family with Saki over there, she'd overheat in the summer." He said with sheepish smile down at his bowl. "That's another thing about Geoda. Most families bury their eggs in the sand to shield them from extreme temperatures, my mom actually marked where she buried our eggs with colored stones. Even years later she still has those stones decorating the sand by our back porch." He smiled.

Texas cocked his head to the side while he wore a smile his eyes clearly showed concern picking up on the others own concern plaguing her thoughts. He gently placed his hand over her wrist and gave a light squeeze before releasing his grip and laying his arm back alongside his plates. "Ok."

He chuckled at her comment of how thorough Gigit could be and laughed a bit to himself "To be honest Gigit acts like an overbearing mother sometimes. Can't blame her though, the protective drive of a bisharp and the compassion of a gardevoir. She cares too much!" He smirked a bit to himself "Makes me wonder what she and Rama see in eachother cause he is literally a polar opposite of her."

His eyes lit up a bit and he stood up and pulled a small box off the top of his fridge bringing it over and opening it showing many small recipe cards "These are the recipes Gigit gave me. All are homemade and healthy recipes, very nutritious. And because Gigits a vegetarian she included different recipes for Carnivores, Omnivores, and herbivores." He smiled closing the box and placing it next to Oriel "I'm sure these will be helpful to play with. I don't really need the recipe cards anymore as I've made them plenty of times. That and I eat more Geodan food than Ganguanan. But while Ganguana is more focused with health and nutrition to food, Geoda is all about spices and bold flavors, a little overwhelming for people not used to food spiced like that." He smiled "At least I don't go overboard though, my mom on the other hand. She uses so many spices you walk in that house and you can smell nothing but spices and peppers" he laughed to himself a bit.

"And it's no trouble. I mean my house isn't very big, unlike gigits, but it's still got plenty of space. And I can always pull out the foldable bed in my couch." He smiled. "And it might be good for them to get out of the city for a bit. I mean Yeah Ganguana is a city the size of a nation. But with all the plant life and the more than reasonable space between housing and all the parks and creaks, ontop of the fact cars aren't a thing here, it definitely doesn't have that big city feel. But then again Gigit might poke around." He smiled.

He glanced at her and cocked a brow "What's it like living over there in a city like that? The only two cities I've lived in have been ganguana which is a pro-nature city, and Geoda which is a farming community. What's a concrete jungle like?"

(((gonna do it! Spikefish))) After a hard work and a few embarrassing time there -thanks to a bunny friend of hers- Oseye rushed out from the restaurant. "Easy to say than do" she muttered. In the distance, she spotted a familiar figure. A certain Sandslash who she couldn't missed; he was like a moving mountain. The Vaporeon stopped for a moment, gave a sigh. "Now or never." then she started run to him. "Hey Tappy!"

“S’been awhile. How are you?“ He smiled seeing the water type.

[pokewarmthhearts-rp]

“Then it’s settled!” she smiled back at him, and dragged him by holding tails. Which was a funny look, because he was way bigger.

The cafe wasn’t look special; it was little and peaceful looking with a few guest. It was easy to find a table for two. The Vaporeon looked at the small menu of drinks. “Hmmm, I don’t know what to choose. All of this sounds nice.” she tilted her head.

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Tapura chuckled and let her lead him to the cafe and their table. His eyes scanned the menu with a smile before he chuckled and folded it “I think I’ll just do a coffee for myself. It be a nice thing to relax with after work.“ he chuckled.

“What looks good to you, though?“ he cocked his ears looking down at her menu

[pokewarmthhearts-rp]

“Coffee?” the Vaporeon raised an eyebrow “Never understand how others can drink that. I mean, it’s taste bitter.”

She read all the drinks on the menu. “Well I think I’ll take…ummm…..Blueberry lemonade? Sounds interesting!”

After choosing order, she sighed. “It’s so clear as day that I even don’t know half of Ganguana. I mean, I did visit a few places, but not all. I even didn’t know where to find a few spots I heard a lot about and…” she looked at the Sandslash. “Ummm…I think I blabing too much again, don’t I?” she gave an awkward chuckle.

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Tapura laughed "well I'm butter too so it's a fitting drink. But if you pour a little sugar in it, then it's not so bitter~" he winked and folded his hands together with a smirk "Blueberry huh? Fitting considering your a blueberry yourself!"

When she grew flustered about her 'babbling' he shook his head with a grunt "Your not blabbing. I like listening to you talk. That's coming from the man who's cousin punched him in the gut for talking too much!" He said with a booming laugh. "Besides like you said, you don't know much of this place. You haven't lived here long at all your right to be curious."

Beryl cocked a brow and giggled at the butterfly trying to grasp it with her claws. When she failed she grew frustrated and let out her own little burst of magic causing several butterfly’s to flutter around.

“Oops….Well it’s not the biggest thing I can summon actually.” She murmured looking at her shadow. “Don’t tell Rama……But I accidentally summoned my legend….A few weeks ago” she frowned.

“I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know…But I don’t want him.to find out I snooped in his spell books without permission…It was akivas idea originally but I grew curious.

Phineas tilted his head as he watched her struggle to aquire the white insect summon. He shifted his hand to move the summon onto his finger then encouraged the butterfly to rest on the young female’s helmet, leaving the glowing creature slowly flapping its wings upon Beryl’s head. 

“There we go.” He chuckled a bit at the sight, it was rather cute. Then he looked up at all of the butterflies that Beryl had summoned, listening to her. “Hey, I’m still impressed with you Beryl. You have more magic than I do and you know how to use it. That’s a great thing.”

He did however frown at the mention of his best friend’s sister’s nack for almost getting Beryl into touble….it was Akiva’s fault after all that he had met Beryl out in the forest to begin with. He didn’t want to think Akiva was all that bad but….lately he had his doubts about the reasons behind some of her actions and behavior. Thusly, he chose to avoid that pawniard…something about her felt, off to Phineas. He really did want to like Beryl’s twin but…he couldn’t.

“One of these days that sister of your’s is going to get you both into trouble for the right reasons.” At least he hoped it would be for the right reasons. “Anyway, you summoned a legend?”

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Beryl shoved her claw up to his mouth with a shush motion "Not so loud!" She chided through a quiet hiss."Yes I did....I didn't realize what spell it was....Akve just pointed into ramas black arts book and asked me what the text said....I shouldn't have read it. It's my fault and it's not like I can send her back now. But she can't hide in my shadow forever, my parents will eventually smell her out despite her exceptional talent in masking her power and scent." She frowned.

"I don't want to get in trouble but at the same time it's my fault it happened. Yes it was Akivas idea to Snoop, as usual....But she didn't expect that to happen...I'm glad it was that spell though...Black magic is destruction magic....What if it was a dangerous spell instead of a summon? That's what would get me in trouble. I had no idea what I was doing and did it. There are spells that will erase the timeline and alter the present by rewriting the past! I could have erased me and my siblings from existence, I could have erased my parents from existence with one wrong spell..."

Texas' brows furrowed as she explained the cards the sorcerers drew. It concerned him a tad bit when she said how creepily accurate they had been. Especially in terms of her past and present. He folded his hands together and looked her dead in the eye with clear concern in his Lavender orbs as he spoke "you haven't been sleeping well? What's been troubling you, if you don't mind my asking?"

"Turmoil? Well the only companion you've had since birth is your twin brother, correct? As worrisome as it may seem I honestly can't picture a situation that could trouble you....Unless it's perhaps something in the ring. But your job is far less risky than I stress it being" he murmured to himself. Before placing his left hand gently over her right hand "No matter what happens you have alot of people to help you. And if you need a get away my homes always open to you two. I might not know your siblings all too well. Your brother and I have only spoken two or three times, and neither were a full conversation like we've had, and I can't remember if I've ever spoken to Lixue. But regardless their welcome here as much as you are." He smiled

When she showed clear enjoyment in her meal a flustered blush dusted Texas' cheeks and he glanced away a bit. "You flatter me really." He chuckled before looking back at her "I'm glad you enjoy it! I got some cooking lessons from my friend Gigit. Well more like forced to learn because she bout lost her mind when she learned I wasn't eating home cooked meals before I met her." He laughed "It's a good skill to have regardless if you live alone or in a big household, right?" He smiled and continued to eat. "Also I wasn't sure how hungry you were so I made plenty for seconds if you'd like to help yourself. And I could give you the recipe for this too, if you'd like it to take home."

[teamsomberwish-rp]

“we don’t need a reason to be kind, Phineas you know that” Gigit murmured. “We have hearts too you know.”

She ran her thumbs along the back if his and beryls necks to ease them. “Just like you I can pick up on emotions too. I could tell somthing wasn’t right. And Phineas I know you might say you’re at terms with what’s happening. But I know you’re not, don’t lie to yourself or anyone else to try and fight of the hurt. It will only make its sting go deeper.” Gigit smiled and gently let her chick and the young kit down. “Trust me. I know things are scary now, but you’ll be OK. Just don’t lie to yourself.”

With that she went back into the kitchen so dinner wouldn’t burn as Rama remained where he was propped in the doorway.

[askthecaravan-rps]

“It’s not that,” He already knew that all pokemon had hearts, that was knowelage any ralts learned right quick. “It’s just…normally that kind of comfort comes only from one’s own family. So….thanks.”

Phineas nodded his understanding of her words, a lot had happened and he had been pushing it away. Part of him wondered why, but the answer was clear that he was still afraid of what could happen if he showed that moment of vunlerablity. Honestly, it was probably better to show it rather than to become cold as ice.

Still he smiled greatly as the shine of white spread to his eyes, it was a good thing even though it had never happened before. After watching the adult female leave Phineas looked down at Beryl. “Her nerves around me are gone, I am glad to finally sense that. But I am more grateful for the comfort.”

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Beryl smiled at her friend and hugged him “it will be ok. And yeh mom’s alot less afraid of your species now, really ever since she married Rama. But that also means she can treat you as good as she treats others. And that’s good right?”

She stood up to stretch her legs a bit before smiling at Phineas “and technically a good friends family is basically your own too right?”

[askthecaravan-rps]

Phineas grinned as he listened to her words, unlike his sister his teeth were white but still pointed. “Yeah, I definately consider your family as part of the herd if that makes sense.”

Just then he noticed the glow coming from his horns and raised a hand to them to cup the light in his palm for a moment. Well this was certianly new, unlike other gard lines Alpha Forest psychics didn’t normally give off the glow even if their psychic was tied to their emotions. Normally it was just their eyes rather than their horns…that would be something else.

“This is…” Phineas blinked in curiousity because of the shine. “I thought…it was gone….”

Did Chat miss some? Or maybe it was comeing back slowly? He didn’t really know. But he did know it was his old white magic, finally showing up. The kirlia thought for a moment before cupping his hands over eachother.

“I wounder if I can…” He focused for a second, it was harder than he remembered but the dull white shine did gather as he wanted it too. “Heh, hey Berry, look.”

He removed the hand covering the lower one and sitting in his palm was a small shimmering butterfly summon, more for just looks than anything else. A simple little spell in his memory and the only harmless one he knew other than major healing but that kinda spell was out of his reach.

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Beryl cocked a brow and giggled at the butterfly trying to grasp it with her claws. When she failed she grew frustrated and let out her own little burst of magic causing several butterfly's to flutter around.

"Oops....Well it's not the biggest thing I can summon actually." She murmured looking at her shadow. "Don't tell Rama......But I accidentally summoned my legend....A few weeks ago" she frowned.

"I'm pretty sure he doesn't know...But I don't want him.to find out I snooped in his spell books without permission...It was akivas idea originally but I grew curious.

Texas perked up more “Yeah, he’ll be well taken care of with his big sister, both my sisters, his father, my mother and father, and my granny and pappy looking after the little tyke.” He gave a light sigh of relief “I’m glad to have another boy in the family though. Plus I can teach him how to get on his dad’s every last nerve.” He said with a mischievous giggle.

He got up for a moment to stir the simmering pots and check their temperature to see if they were cooking correctly before returning to sit by her.

When she mentioned Zarathos Texas’ eyes widened, however, his pupils narrowed, he wasn’t fond of Zarathos from the one match he overheard Rama obsessively talk about to Gigit. He listened silently as she spoke about that spooky bloke before murmuring “Really? Him of all people?? He seems so violent, I’m sure it must have been nerve-wracking. And Xandras? Oh did I pronounce that correctly? Anyway, who is that? Do you happen to know?” He said cocking a brow.

“Magic huh? You know I miss the days when that stuff was considered fictional.” He chuckled. “That art is scary, to say the least. Still what makes you so unsure about it? Did they mention something troubling?”

He was silent to allow her room to speak before his timer went off and he stood quickly and headed over to give a final stir of the pots before pulling out two bowls and filling them with rice and the beef stew before also grabbing two plates and putting the saute veggies on it with two bean buns on each plate setting them on the table alongside a glass of water and a glass of juice/soda. He then sat down again and smiled at her “dig in!”

He made sure to provide her with a fork and spoon alongside chopsticks in case she preferred traditional oriental “silverware” or more modern style. He took a few bites of his food before asking “how do you like it?”

"oh good I was hoping that be alright. I normally eat pretty spicy food common in my birth land, I thought I'd ask just in case" he smiled chopping the carrots, potatoes, and meat before pouring them into the boiling mix of water and stew spices currently cooking in the Crock-Pot. Once those three ingredients were added he lowered the heat and placed on a lid to let it stew. Once his hands and the cutting board were washed of the meat juices he started chopping up green beans, mushrooms, and onions while the rice cooked. Once those items were done being chopped he placed them into a saute pan and went to work on mixing in some light seasonings before covering that pan with a lid to let it simmer as well. He set a timer and joined her at the table.

"Work? Hmm it's been pretty ok. I mean I only recently got Beck from training with fu. And that was a frozen hell on Earth. Despite that man's age he can land one hell of a beating" he chuckled. "That training was exhausting to say the least. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but I passed it. In about a month or two Chiefs gonna retire and He'll hold my promotion ceremony. And once I'm cheif then managing the whole GBG will become my job. I'll have less front line stuff, which means less physical injuries." He chuckled. "Oh! Also I learned this morning that my sister Arizona had another baby, I finally have a nephew. He's a tropius just like her. She sent me a pic of him, he's so tiny." He smiled looking at his hands.

"What about you? How has life been over there since our little misunderstanding?" He said cocking a brow.

[askteamsomberwish]

Jack@Akiva: "So, girl. Why do you look so angry all the time? Do you have a reason or is it unconditional?" He asked, his paws buried deep into his hoodie's pockets.

“The only exception is family. At least I haven’t seen any men in my family treat my mother like garbage. You grow up watching your mother be treated like dirt, then question my ‘anger’. Stop pretending you care.”

“Now get out of my face! My dad says not to speak to strangers, and I have no problem telling him a man is making me uncomfortable. That won’t end well for you if I get him involved, so scram!”

[ask-the-evermore-syndicate]

Jack’s right eye twitched at this, and his darkish-violet aura was beginning to seep off his body from anger. Who taught this little shit to look at males that way, this is something not even Teiden would defend. The words she just said were similar to the stuff he tried to get away from. If it weren’t for her age he would have lost it completely, in fact it was the only thing saving this pawn from a massive swear-fest. A quick breath towards caused the fog around him to disappear

Instead, the Riolu just put his black hoodie up, putting his hands in his pockets and turned away from the violet eyed.

“Better buckle the f- err heck up, you’re gonna be in for a bumpy ride with that attitude in the future. Right off a flipping cliff. I know some women who wouldn’t even defend you for that kind of stuff too.”

[teamsomberwish-rp]

“ARE YOU STUPID?! Did you not hear what I just said? I said I hate men outside my family because I WITNESSED my MOTHER be ABUSED!! Many people would defend an 8 year old little girl not wanting to have anything to due with men after it! Your small minded and have no right to make these comments to me. Your not my mommy or my daddy so you can take that know it all attitude and shove it up yours! You are JUST like the men who abused my mother! It’s your way or the highway well guess what that’s not how it works! If you don’t like it go away. I don’t have to listen to some pompous pea brain who lets his anger drive him to the point he nearly cusses out an 8 year old cause she dislikes men. You are such a hypocrite.”

Due to the females outburst a large bisharp was drawn to the area to check on his pawn, his eyes narrowing at this unwelcomed stranger “Akiva is this brat upsetting you?” He asked looking at her before flowering at the male “Leave my child alone. You have no idea what she’s been through and you have no right to speak to her as such or at all. She is eight years old. You are not her parent. Piss off!”

[ask-the-evermore-syndicate]

The sudden appearance of the larger male sorta made Jack jump a bit. But it didn’t cause any real fear, just a quick surprise. Oh great, a parent… normally at this point jack would have backed off from this unpleasant meeting but the moment the tall sharp referred to him as brat, his dark aura showed once again, this time it was much clearer. 

“EXCUSE ME?!! Do i sound like a child to you?!” He snarled, his gaze turning up immediately to the larger male, his fangs bared, and those eyes clearly showing some really nasty resentment for such a comment. “Excuse me for calling out something you clearly fail at teaching, pleb!” He was breathing rather heavily as he called out a bit, and that black fog seeping from his person was getting more noticeable until he soon started to calm down taking deep breaths as he recognized the description from his superior.

Jack took out a strange little flat machine from his hoodie pocket, it lit up his face as he stared at the machine, but more importantly, it looked nearly identical to the one a certain other blue bisharp was using before the biggest difference being its color, which was black. 

“Uhuh… yup… thats right… Ramakrishna Zabudoki right?” He asked looking over his communicator back at the tall cloaked male, taking a breath to calm down.   

[teamsomberwish-rp]

Rama snarled and released his blades clanging the arm ones together to make a clear poi t of the other to get back in his place "I called you a brat, with a good reason to call you one as well! Your are acting more immature than an eight year old. You will not raise your voice at me and if you don't correct your behavior Infront of a child I will have you thrown out of ganguana. Do I make myself clear?" he growled.

"She is eight you have no right to even speak to her, you are not her parent or family nor are you a citizen of this land. I will not teach my children that they aren't allowed to feel. She watched the abuse of her mother, she doesn't have to like men if she doesn't want to. Especially ones she doesn't know. What we are doing to correct it isn't your business." He huffed. "Now if you could act your age I will treat you your age, if not I will call you a child, understand that?"

"And who cares to know my name?"
