[Action - Lake Shrine]

[Sora had been to the Lake Shrine once before, it was where he had met Elhaym. He decided to come back to train, since even though he wanted to go to the canyon- it was a out of his league still. And so there he was, Pokemon and axe in hand, ready to put in a hard's day work]

[Except not quite. It's been hard to focus the past couple days, so it's not long before he gets distracted. And so he's easily found in front of the shrine, lost in thought while his Pokemon wander nearby]

A shrine where the dead can appear...

[He crosses his arms as he watches the shrine and after a moment, frowns a bit disappointed]

Nope, none yet. Maybe it's at night?

[Action - Medical Center]

[After he got through a few hours of training, Sora's managed to accumulate a few cuts and bruises from various fights - the most notable one being a scrape on his cheek. None of it is anything serious, just a mix of usual training troubles and a certain level of carelessness. Normally, he wouldn't even bother the Medical Center with it. In fact he's still planning not to bother the Medical Center with it. He can buy bandages from a pharmacy for all he cares.]

[But he did make a promise to Roxas that he'd come back, as well as see Lucas again. And so he can be found in the Medical Center, trying to find either one. And....possibly getting lost in the process. Why do all these halls look the same again?!]

[....so confused right now....]

Did you learn about 'em in school...?

Edited 2014-01-26 01:31 (UTC)

I learned Houndour was Dark and Fire.

[ Should he tell you what level Pluto is and confused you more ]

[Let's be real Sora hasn't even realized Roxas is an Enlightened yet. But that's a reasonable enough explanation for Sora]

Oh, okay. [Maybe they taught him about Smog too!]

But you're right! Pokemon can really surprise you with the stuff they can do!

[ Sora he didn't mention attacks for a reason. Oh well. He'll learn eventually.

Sora just nods his head at that. Though his own Pokemon doesn't have... anything surprising. ]

[Your brother is an idiot okay Roxas. If it's not about feelings, you have to spell it out. And it'll probably be when you inevitably have to save his ass from something]

[Sora kneels down next to Pluto, idly petting the dog as his mind wanders]

I met this kid, named Armin, a few days ago. He said his dream was to meet every single type of Pokemon. Just think how long it'd take to do that..!

[ Good grief Sora hopefully it will be before then who knows how long until that inevitably happens. ]

It would... take a long time.

[ That's a really big dream that person has ]

[CHALLENGE ACCEPTED]

Yeah, probably all his life!

I hope he does it. He said he was thinking about being a Historian because it's safe, but he seemed a lot happier talking to Pokemon.

What about both.

[ A historian that talks to Pokemon. He can't really agree more about either so ]

Maybe, but Historians tend to stick to the city. Rangers are the ones who go out and explore beyond the walls. They'd meet more Pokemon than a Historian would.

[ Well... he can't deny that. If it wasn't for Sora Roxas wouldn't have met anything other than an Eevee. Up close anyways. ]

I guess.

Yeah...

[a small shrug] Anyway, I offered to take him with me sometime to go training so he could meet more Pokemon. He seemed really excited about the idea- I hope he takes me up on it.

[He wishes he could give Roxas the same offer, so they could see these new lands together like they talked about as kids. But...he knew there was no way Roxas could handle outside the walls in his condition. It was unfair.]

[ Yeah. Roxas currently doesn't see what is great? about going out and training. He has Sora who seems content just being the way he is. ]

Be careful.

[ And actually be careful this time. If you come back with more scratches-- ]

[Well Roxas he'd love to tell you the true reason he likes going out there so much, but well, you are in a building filled with government officials so no.]

[And whatever scratches build character]

I will be. No matter where I go, I'll always come back.

[ OOPS well maybe if you happen to see him outside again where there are less officials. And no scratches do not stop Sora.

..... Sora that was so Disney. ]

I.. will be here. When you do.

[ When he isn't here one day you can either be happy or worry. Or both. ]

[Roxas, we're Disney. Just accept reality and embrace the Disney]

[And wow that statement makes him both happy and sad at the same time. Happy you care and will wait for him, sad because you should not be in this place forever]

[But ah, he can nitpick at that another day]

Then it's a promise.

[ But what is reality when you're a zombie.

Roxas nods his head. Oh. That is... something he should respond to isn't it. ]

A promise.

[ See he's getting better already? ]

Right.

[that means your reality is one of a Disney zombie]

[Yeah Roxas, he can see your little bits of progress. Though considering the last time they met weren't under ideal circumstances- it's hard for him to gauge just yet what is progress.]

[But he'll take what he can get.]

I should get going. It's getting pretty late.

Edited 2014-01-26 05:39 (UTC)

[ He'll be able to gauge it better after a few more encounters. Hopefully?

Ah. It is getting late isn't it. How quickly time flies when you actually have visitors.

Roxas stands from where he was sitting. ]

Okay.

[ ... Should he help you to the exit so you don't get lost. ]

[...Probably.]

[He stands too, giving Pluto one more scratch behind the ears]

I'm gonna send you back to the habitat okay? I'll seeya tomorrow, Pluto.

[Pluto whines and looks over at Roxas with a hopeful tail wag. Say goodbye zombie]

[ Roxas looks down at Pluto and -- oh. Okay. ]

Bye Pluto. See you later.

[ That was good right? ]

[Very good! Sora nods approvingly and Pluto looks happy at Roxas before Sora uses his warp band to send him away]

Okay.

Can you show me out? I kept getting lost earlier.

[ Roxas nods his head before he makes his way out of the Common Room and heads to the exit. Little longer trek than there first two but still doesn't take too long. ]

[And he'll follow, trying to remember the path as he goes. He's sure he'll get this down in a...couple more visits.]

[But oh! He recognizes the exit. So when they reach it, he'll step over and give his brother a hug, much like the last time he was here.]

I'll come back soon, okay? It was good seeing you.

[ You'll be fine as long as you learn how to get to Roxas' Room, the Cafeteria, and the Common Room. Those will likely be the three most common places they'll be in during your visits.

Roxas still doesn't react to the hug. But he's relaxed about it. ]

Okay. I'll see you then.

[Maybe he should just try to find the map chest for this place...]

[And again, relaxed is better than being shoved away. He'll pull away from him and give him a wave]

Yeah, seeya soon.

[And with that, he heads out the doors and out of the medical center]
