kickboards[It had been weeks since his last foray into the wilderness to explore. After his trek though the mountains last month that resulted in his grades dropping because he skipped all of his classes for two weeks without any kind of warning, Rei had promised himself that he would catch up on his studies, pursue any extra credit that he could, and return his academic levels to their former pristine glory. Befriending a few Pokemon was no excuse to let his grades slip, and he knew that he woud need to either find a way to achieve balance or make a few sacrifices before he was promoted to the next class level.
But that was in the future....and it had been weeks since he had last sat outside with a book and enjoyed himself--not for the lack of his Pokemon trying.
So, it was that afternoon that he had planned on letting Tama, Harima, and Hanai roam around the park while he caught up on his light reading. At least, that was the plan...]
Action A
[Rei stuck out like a sore thumb in the library, carrying a grumpy looking Marill under one arm and a bag full of what appeared to be sunglasses under the other. The frustrated, determined set of his dark eyes and the occassional complaint from the Marill made it amply clear that this was decidedly not a good time to bother him.]
Action B
Lose Your Glasses?
Go to the Library to Get Them.
Ask for Rei Ryugazaki.
[The sign copied out en mass, posted in every storefront that would allow it throughout the city by either Rei or one of his Pokemon (except the grumpy Marill, who will be with Rei at all times). Rei's peaceful afternoon was spent posting these flyers instead of reading in the park like he had originally planned...but, that's not going to stop him from trying to make the most of the situation.
As the afternoon sun faded and turned into evening, the small group of them finally did make it to the park. With a bag of snacks and bottled tea for all of them to share, Rei flopped onto the grass to watch the sun set while the other three played.
Frustrating as the afternoon was, it was nice to take a break from academics once again.]
