[Action]

[((Dated to post-cave exploration))

Tiny recluse is still tiny, but not so reclusive -- especially not now that he has a new friend to visit and care for (new friend is a Steelix named Gertrude, fyi). Armin thinks it rude to leave his buddy all alone in the Habitats all the time, so an escape attempt has been performed!

Granted, his grandfather has been extra-busy with council-y business in the wake of the ore crisis, so it wasn't that hard for Armin and Meredith to sneak out. But still, they're free! They're out! He should be feeling very proud of himself, walking along the streets like a normal civilian. He should be all but skipping along the sidewalk, perhaps whistling a cheery tune.

Except he's not. Because, as it turns out, bonding with an enormous Pokemon sort of leaves you drained, mentally, physically and emotionally, and Armin doesn't have much emotion strength to spare. So he's sort of creeping along the street, frowning, radiating a tangible -- literally; if any passers-by aren't psychically prepared, his emotions are going to bleed over onto them -- aura of discomfort, nausea and exhaustion.

This also means that if anyone with a particularly potent emotional state passes by, it's going to hit Armin like a ton of bricks. Case in point: the loving couple who sidesteps boy and Ralts, drawing an uncharacteristic scowl from both.

Ug. Indecent.

Every last one...?

[Holy crap Ash Ketchem]

Wow! But there's hundreds of them!

Yeah, that's true.

[STILL A LOT. But he's grinning]

That's a good dream! I dunno if I can help you with finding every one, but if you ever wanna go out and train with me- I bet you could meet at least a few more!
heartstorage: (you're okay!)

[Aw yeah bliss. That is a definitely good feeling to feel coming from someone else for Sora. He's very sincere too!]

Sure! It's always better to have someone around than go alone!
