Zephyr let out a soft sigh, slowly blinking open his bright blue eyes and stirring inside of his blankets, his usually wild light blond hair in even more disarray from his bedhead. He let out a soft groan, running a hand through his hair, and sat up in bed, the blankets tangled around him. He'd had another nightmare about his hometown, unsurprising given that he was one of the last to abandon it. The memories of the curtain of darkness falling closer and closer to his home, the way the wild Pokemon would freak out and had turned all the more hostile as time went on and the darkness grew ever closer, it was enough to imprint itself so deeply upon his subconscious that he was often plagued with nightmares about it. Add into that the guilt he still felt over making the choice to hand over his badge so that he could throw himself into trying to get his home back rather than attempt to keep the shadows where they were, and it was little surprise that his sleep was often troubled. Body sparking a little in protest to the cold that he felt in his feet, he padded from his bedroom to the bathroom, stepping into the shower and deciding to relax through the feel of the warm water sluicing across his skin. When he came out several minutes later, a towel wrapped around his waist and another rubbing moisture from his hair, Thor was perched on a bookshelf, the Pikachu looking at him concernedly. "It's okay, Thor," he murmured softly, reaching out with a hand to ruffle the Pokemon's ears, "I'm okay." "Pii," the Electric-type Pokemon cooed softly underneath his Trainer's hand, nuzzling the palm before it was withdrawn in an attempt to give comfort. He watched as the human pulled on clothes, feeling sorry for his Trainer. The blond worked so hard trying to save his town, and even with all of the heart that he had poured into it, he had still lost almost everything to the shadows. No matter what the little Electric mouse did to try to help Zephyr sleep, he still always looked exhausted when the sun came up and they'd leave the apartment. Once the deep blue t-shirt and the black jacket came on, he then darted to the side, climbing up onto the human's shoulder. "C'mon, Thor," Zephyr murmured, striding through the door of the apartment and locking it behind himself, shoving a hand into his pocket as he descended to the lobby and stepped out into the street, "let's go see if there's something to distract us before we go looking for answers, yeah?"

Notes:

Zeph has lots of nightmares about how he "failed" to save Forje and all that fun stuff. Also feel free to bump into him or interact with him. Precious babby's just a little lost in his thoughts~ Also, I apologize if the classy's acting up, it tends to do that sometimes.

"Oh! And please do make sure to take down those duvets I hung on the line yesterday."


Ethel's voice wispy with age addressed a certain orange-haired youth. "Arceus knows if they're not dry by now they'll never be." The last sentence sounded like it was hissed behind gritted teeth which elicited an amused smile from the woman's ward. Valkari had long grown used to Ethel's drastic personality switches over the years and by now had become rather impressed by it. One moment would be full of sunshine and rainbows and the next? Piercing glares and ominous auras.

Valkari liked to think it was the old woman's way of sizing people up, it certainly worked well when intimidation was involved. Witnessed first hand when one man almost five years Val's senior saw fit to attempt to woo the then sixteen year old. Long story short the unfortunate soul was sent packing with his metaphorical tail between his legs, or real tail. Nowadays you never could be too sure what with the world going crazy.

"Don't worry about it I'll get them." She replied assuredly, causing the old biddy to cease her frustrated muttering and sigh with some form of appreciation. Besides, Val was positive it wasn't beyond the woman to give her a beat-down if she refused; not that she would. The teen owed Ethel more than she could ever repay by taking her in.

"C'mon Sonny."

The chimchar took residence on her shoulder, keeping a firm grip but not so much as to cause discomfort to her trainer. In turn Valkari made certain to avoid having her own long hair catch on fire by tying it into a low side pony and draping it over the opposite shoulder. 'Ethel's going to want more fruit too...' She thought back to their depleting stores in the B&B.

"Char?"

Valkari turned to look at the pokemon who seemed confused by her silence. And why they didn't seem to be moving at all. Not bothering to explain solely to the chimchar, instead opting to loudly inform those within earshot - that being Ethel - that she was going shopping for a bit. 'The sheets can wait right?' After exiting the building she took a deep breathe of the fresh air before looking unsure at the sky above her.

'If it doesn't rain that is...'

Thor's paws gripped Zephyr's shoulder tightly, keeping the little electric mouse balanced there, and he was fairly content to remain there, for the most part, while his Trainer walked. His ears then twitched, one of them from where it hung off to the side, and he shifted, pushing himself up higher with his little tail lifting up from where it had been hanging. "Pii?" he murmured, cocking his head to the side as he stared up at the clouds, obviously sensing some of the static electricity being generated up there from the shifting clouds. "Is something wrong, Thor?" the male asked, brow furrowing as he looked to the side at his companion, alerted by the change in the weight distribution that the Pikachu was interested by something. "Ah," he sighed as soon as he caught sight of the moving clouds, immediately knowing what had so distracted his Pokemon. "Looks like rain, huh Thor?" he questioned with a soft smile, ruffling the electric mouse's ears with a single gentle hand. "Don't worry, I'm sure it won't dump buckets on our heads." When his Pikachu let out a soft whine, he chuckled, raising his hand up defendingly. "All right, all right, if it starts raining and we're at ho- ... the apartment, I'll take you outside so you can have some fun with the lightning." He mentally berated himself for stumbling over the word 'home', but it wasn't anything that he could change. He just... he couldn't find it in himself to admit that the apartment he lived in was home, not after he'd failed to save his real home. A soft sigh left his lips, shoulders drooping slightly at the memory of how he'd failed, and he heard Thor let out a questioning sound before nuzzling his cheek. "I know, I miss home too, buddy," he muttered, "but there's nothing we can do, it's gone now." He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even see the girl until he ran right into her, stumbling back a little. "Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" he immediately apologized, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly before reaching forward with one hand and a charming smile on his lips. "I'm Zephyr. Zephyr Wynnestrom." A loud huff of protest coming from his shoulder tempted a chuckle out of him, and he added, "And this little guy here is Thor. What's your name?"

What is decently-sized replies, can you eat it? *slaughtered*
