sᴛᴀʀᴄʀᴏssᴇᴅ☆
Who: Honoka Kousaka and Right Suzuki! Open for bothering.
Where: Just outside Union.
When: Roughly a week after Salvation festivities end.
What: Honoka finally decides to have a Talk with Right.
Warnings: Dumb teenagers that are a little twitterpated.
[She'd asked after him early one afternoon, when the sun was high but the air was cold. It had been something like a week since Salvation, and she couldn't get a small handful of things out of her mind. Namely, Right and a few things he'd said. Specifically, that he'd mentioned her in particular when it came to missing things if he were away.]
[It had brought forth all sorts of other realizations. Things Hayato had teased her about, things she found herself noticing or enjoying more about Right's company moreso than other people. It was no secret that Honoka loved just about everyone-- but there was something special about Right. She had discussed it with Hayato once. Briefly. Frustratedly.]
[She hadn't been ready to talk about it then.]
[But now, with the crest of another Awakened evolution on her horizon, her strength and her resolve about life growing along with her... She thought maybe it was time to Talk About It.]
[So here she was, perched on a high, but visible branch of a tree just outside of Union, kicking her feet absently and giggling at Ariera's tutting. The Tropius eventually gave up telling her she'd fall and hurt herself and laid himself neatly beneath the tree to serve as a cushion if and when she inevitably did.]

we'll like... backdate this a few hours before the meetup.
[And she did need to gear up for it, really. She had decided she was going to talk about it, even asked Right to meet her already. It was planned. It was happening. And she could always still go back on it-- it wasn't like asking Right to meet her somewhere to hang out was anything atypical. But... As time drew nearer, she got anxious, and her scales started shedding a little.]
[So with an intermittent trail of orange and pink iridescence trailing behind her, she went to find Hayato. She had plenty of people she trusted, and had solidly considered talking to Rei about this whole deal-- if anything, Rei would probably be best to consult in matters of the heart, given her recent engagement announcement. But it was that very same engagement announcement that made her head to Hayato instead. Rei would be busy, and Honoka was also sorely in need of some good old fashioned Hayato time.]
[She tugged on the hem of her shirt when she found him, but wasted no time in coming up behind him to settle on her knees and lean against his shoulder.]
I might need some advice.
yes ok
Honoka? What's the matter?
no subject
Well first off, you're rattled and didn't notice me coming until I was on you, which means you're bothered about something. How did that last expedition go?
no subject
E-Eh? Hey, now. You can't just turn this on me!
no subject
Hayato.
no subject
[He leans away from her with a reluctant expression. Eventually he just sighs.]
It went. We found out what the map was for.
[His less than excited expression seems to hint it did not go very well.]
no subject
That doesn't sound like the exciting tone of triumph.
no subject
No. It- ... The map was for a stretch of badlands. Real nasty terrain. There wasn't much in the way of life until you got further in.
[He looks forward, eyes a little distant.]
Further in was a city.
no subject
[Never mind that you look a bit like you could use one, Hayato. She tilts her head, listening, and makes a wordless inquisitive sound at the mention of a city.]
no subject
[Yeah. He wasn't really all that happy about wandering into Gigan territory after he risked so much to escape it.]
Before we realized where we were, we got surrounded by soldiers.
no subject
...I'm glad you're okay.
no subject
Yeah. It ...got hairy for a bit, but there were enough of us to fight back. Another pokemon came along and gave us a distraction, too. None of us were really hurt, either.
no subject
I'm going to eat Gigas. Like, the entire city.
no subject
[He slides her a smile. A much more playful expression than before.]
Don't be so worried. We got out of there safe and sound.
[He nudges her.]
What did you want to ask me about?
no subject
[A dramatic roll of her eyes and she pushes at him gently, disengaging from her barnacle hug and curling her knees to herself. She took the subject change easily enough-- he didn't want to talk about Gigas. She didn't, either, so... That left them with what she came here for.]
...something you've been egging me to do for a while.
no subject
Oh ho?
no subject
I wanna talk to Right. About stuff.
no subject
[His grin is coy and he quirks an eyebrow.]
Haaa?? Is that so? It only took you a hundred years! That's great! You two are adorable.
no subject
Shut up!! I wasn't ready to talk about it until recently.
no subject
[He pushes at her a little.]
Better late than never.
no subject
Yeah yeah.
no subject
no subject
Just... tell me I'm doing the right thing.
[A laugh.]
Haha, "right"...
no subject
[Curious look.]
no subject
I-- Don't know, I just feel like maybe there's more important things to worry about.
