twenty-fourth form; waking up sore {Accidental Video/Action for Ecruteak Inn}

Alakazaaaam...

Kiyone gently runs a three-fingered hand over his unstirring mistress’ bandaged head, delicately trying to probe into her mind, but upon being blocked once again by a mysterious barrier, he sighs and gets up, wandering over to the window. Shinrai moves closer to Nanao’s unmoving form and squeaks as the elder Pokemon throws wide the curtains, letting beams of summer sunlight flood the room, gilding everything inside with a welcome warmth.

Ri? Rioluuuu.

Kiyone looks back over his shoulder at the baby ‘Mon, and smiles gently. It had not been an easy time for the youngest member of Nanao’s party, but the Riolu was nothing if not resilient. Even if he couldn’t walk. After Envy’s Pokemon had brought them into Ecruteak, Shinrai had tearfully explained what had happened to them, and to say they were unhappy was an understatement.

Aaaala. Kazam.

Shinrai smiled back, and threw his arms into the air, giggling. The noise woke Hanatarou, who had been curled up atop a nearby chair, and she stretched, before slithering off the chair and flowing like a furry river up onto the bed, and nuzzled the young Riolu, and he giggled again. Then he stopped, and cocked his head to the side.

Lu?

{There’s a deep, pained-sounding groan coming from somewhere to the left of the ‘Gear, and the sound of shifting sheets.}

wh-where am I.... s’too bright... {A whimper, more rustling sounds, and then a yelp, and a thud.}

O-owwwww.... {There’s a sob, and then the camera finally moves, and Nanao comes into view, far too pale, wrapped in bedsheets, and with bandages wrapped around her head.}

I - I feel sick...

{OOC: Nanao is awake! But she’s also suffering the side effects of a severe concussion, so any ‘Gear replies will be rather nonsensical. She’s in a room at the Ecruteak Inn, so if you’re in the building, feel free to have your characters drop by.}

_{[But okay, okay, just keep breathing, he's fine now. Maybe. Possibly. So he'll just look at the weird creature and slowly shake his head, along with a sliiightly quavering,]} Uh, no thanks. I'm ... I'm good.

My apologies, I did not mean to startle you so.

However, I do believe that there would be no easy way to talk to you without startling you anyway.

I ... guess not. But uh, hey, maybe you could try and wave to me or something next time before you do the whole speechy-thing.

... no offence, but not-humans talking is a little spooky. Not to mention weird.

The ability to speak directly to your mind is a hallmark of the Psychic type, and Nanao-dono is so used to it, I obviously did not realise.

And I will endeavour to do so in future. {You get a polite bow from the Alakazam.}

_{[Wow. Tulio could get to like this guy, maybe, possibly, after he stops being weirded out.]}

Thank you.

_{[And yeah just. Gonna go back to sitting here and looking at Nanao and will her to wake up.]}

It is nothing. {Annnnd tea is done. Drinking contentedly, and pondering what exactly to do with his mistress.}

{and then there's a whiiiine from under the bed.}

Hm? What was that?

...Nanao?

_{[God, his life. He asks tentatively and hopes she'll answer. And that the answer won't involve punching him in the face. It has happened before, okay.]}

{No, she's still unmoving, but there's a thump from under the bed, and then a small black snout pops out.}

...ah. Now which one is under there: Shuuhei or Shinrai?

{You have no idea how much Kiyone would like it to be Nanao as well.}

_{[He groans lightly and leans against his hands again. And grumbles.]

That woman has entirely too many pokémon, I swear...}

{Kiyone is merely raising an eyebrow at you, before kneeling down next to the bed. Annnd another little black snout pokes out.}

Ah. So it's both of you. Come here, then.

_{[Mhm. Tulio will just observe with a fairly neutral expression and breath out slowly. Looks like he'll be here for a while, huh?]}

{Scooping up a Riolu and a Houndoom, he places them gently on the bed, before going back over to the kitchenette.}

I'm... sorry you had to see her like this, Tulio-san.

_{[Eyes closed against one hand, he waves dismissively with the other.]}

Oh nooo, no no, that's okay, I'm getting used to it. There's always something going on with this lady, after all. I mean, next time I see her, she'll be what? Blind?

_[OLOL]

{And that Houndoom pup will be sneakily crawling up the bed, slowly getting closer to Tulio. Kiyone on the other hand, simply shrugs.}

I suppose you get used to it after a while. And who knows - it was a severe concussion, that we know.

We shall simply have to wait, I guess.

{OH THE IRONY}

_{[He's too busy staring at the floor to notice said pup, muttering some more.]}

Yeah, I'm getting pretty good at the whole waiting game.

{Well, that's a shame, because said pup is now snuffling at his knee. Pats? ;o; }

I can tell. After all, you wouldn't be sitting here, if you weren't.

_{[No. Absolutely no pats.

....

Fine, have a pat then. :| But just this once.]

[Petting the pup in a sort of off-handed fashion, his mouth thins a little. He's not too patient by nature.]}

I'm here cause they told me to stick around.

_{[It's not like he actually cares or anything.]}

{ ;u; paaats and now crawling onto your lap. Friendly Houndour pup is friendly.}

I know you'd prefer to be elsewhere. You can leave if you'd like, I'm more than capable of looking after Nanao-dono.

{A wild CHOICE wants to battle!}

_{[Wh- what are you doing in his lap, over-friendly pup. Tulio sort of casually tries to shoo him away but finally lets him stay - either way, that was a small distraction and he didn't quite catch what the other pokémon said.]}

Sorry, what?

_{[And then actually nevermind, cause it catches up with his brain.]}

OH - oh, uuh, yeah, I guess I could do that.

_{[He fails to move though, and distractedly keeps petting the pup. TULIO is CONFUSED.]}

{Tulio, you have won yourself a friend FO LYFE. Just wait until it evolves into a dog the size of a pony.}

I see. {Sounding slightly smug, and turning back to his cup of tea.}

_{[Sob why is he always surrounded by HUGE ANIMULS. As if the ones Miguel dragged around all over the place weren't enough.]

[And yeah he'll just sit there and blink. And keep distractedly pet the pup. WAKE UP, WOMAN.]}

{Who knows. Why are so many Pokemon proportioned weirdly, now that's a question.}

{Snuffling at yo belly~~}

Would you like me to wake her up? I can do that.

Uh, dog-thing ...

_{[Mumbling it with a frown. He's been patient with you so far, pup, but snuffles are a little outside his comfort zone. So he just picks the puppy up, turns him 180 degrees, and places him with his face towards his knees rather than his stomach.]

[And then looks up at the Psychic-type with a relieved expression.]}

Yeah, plea-- why haven't you done it before?

{ ;o; b-but! He's not happy, but he lies still all the same.}

{And Kiyone sets his mug down.}

Her mind is... tumultuous at the moment. Whatever happened to her, it has affected her memories in a way that I had not anticipated.

_{[There's a good dog-thing. Be happy with what you get, and what you're getting is still pettings. And occasionally scratches.]

[And also Tulio is frowning a lot these days.]}

Yeah, something's going on alright. So what's ... uh, you think she's gonna be okay?
