Darkness. That was that Emeline could see for the past two weeks? Three? She stopped count after the second day. Of course, the blonde was one leave from her work to recovery and try getting her issues under control due it wasn't easy. She was extremely vulnerable mentally and physically. She had to keep her emotions in check or she would like monster who was out of control. It happen so frequently she thought she was losing her mind.

Of course, keeping her boyfriend at bay was another issue. She knew that Kai very well. He had been support of in these trying times. She didn't want to push him down like this but she needed space to herself to think about what happened.  It was hard telling him to stay away. He was stubborn especially after she got out from the hospital but she needed the space to think and to cry.

Her Brother. He was here. Gabriel was not only alive but in Shula after all these years. Just think about him made her heart hurt. She wanted to disappear however the damage done could never be fixed. For the moment, the blonde being unable to see or hear remained curled in the ball of pillows and sheets with Mage lied beside her. 

Emeline said nothing but Mage could hear footsteps enter the room of her brother and Kenzo. "How is she holding up?, Mag?"

"No better than yesterday I am afraid. didn't the doctor it should have cleared up by now?" 

"Her deaf and blindness yes but but markings no so much. However that is not the case." The ralts sneer feeling the negative emotions circle around like vines. It annoyed him at as much as to see this weak. 

"Well, that doesn't matter we keep helping her until she feelings better. And Mica?"

"Cora has been be training with him. He's not in a good mindset to ask for questions more than what little we know."

"We have get answers how else are we going to fix this?"

"We're try-I sense someone near the treehouse grounds?"

"Who is it?"

"I don't believe this....it's Akira and I sense can others like his pokemon."

"Well, I don't have time for-"

"Bring him."

"What!?"

"He was there! He took Emeline out of harm's way. He knows more than any of us on what went down."

"They're not on talking terms. We need to triggers it again."

"I'll counter that argument with that fact. He did saved her life. It's off and on friendship going back before you have been born either of you."

"And!?"

"Meyer just trust me. If anyone can get her right now, it's him."

"....alright. I will make some for everyone to drink. Kenzo, bring him. However the second it gets close to triggering it. He leaves I don't care what goes unanswered." The trio nodded in agreement.  Meyer went off to his task while Kenzo went down to greet the raven haired man. 

"So I was right, you came to see her?" Kenzo already knew the answer however he wanted to make sure.

Needless to say it hadnot only been Kai who had been finding it hard over the last few weeks to stay away from Emeline and give her the time and space that she needed in order to not only receover from what had happened to her during that time in the caverns but also adjust to her - hopefully temporary - current predicament. However unlike one electrically inclined gijinka of the Kaitos family Akira had a little more sense about him given his own experiances and as such knew from that she would require a certain amount of time before even vaguely wanting to have any contact with anyone from the outside while she were currently in whatever condition she were currently within?

Well, he had done that and as it was Akira had needed the time to sort out some things of his own during that time anyway so that had offered enough of a minor distraction it would just be a little annoying that as it would have come to turn out spring would have come a whole lot quicker than he had anticipated along with the less than pleasent illness and such that came with this time of year. But that was why Kaisa was around and as a result would purposefully be acompanying the raven haired man as he made his way to where he knew the Regnard woman's residence was located, the Shulian Absol keeping pace with him all the while keeping a vigilant eye upon the human man while Terzo would be happily sat upon her back and holding onto her harness while they followed the path that would bring them to their destination.

The sight of this had been more than enough to cause Akira to faintly smile for a short time before his focus would return back to his surroundings before fully noting that they all had fully arrived before coming to a stop, it were from here that Akira would take a deep breath before glancing towards Terzo before speaking. "Terzo, think you you can make someone aware that we are here so it's not a case of us just barging in please?" With that would the small Ralts boy nod before issuing forth a faint burst of psychic energy, after all there was a few within that would become aware soon enough.

And as it would come to turn out it wouldn't take long for another familliar Ralts to appear and instantly move into questioning him upon his being here, as such Akira would simply offer a nod of confirmation. "You expect me not to sooner or later? I understand what she is going through and how is feeling in some manner. And besides . . . . . . . We may have had our differences in the past but I still consider Emeline as a friend, a good friend." Akira found himself responding carefully in time.

"Of course, like her lover,  you extremely stubborn and often don't take no for an answer. However this might be the first were that stubborn is needed. She still suffers from being blind and deaf so any "talk" will be through telepathy mostly me or your pokemon. I will be listen in on it and as you expect any that will be a trigger will be tuned out." The ralts looked at Akira make sure the man got a glimpse of his red eyes. He wasn't in the mood for foolish at much was for her. Kenzo didn't say a word and in second everyone was inside the treehouse.

The was plenty of room for Akira in another couch and table while emeline lied on the other. It didn't take to least acknowledge there was another presence in the room unlike her pokemon. "Well, surely took you along enough Kenzo."

The deerling spoke spoke moving away from the blonde in favor of getting a good look at Akira.  Emeline was right he was a bit charmed.  "So we finally meet? I am the main caretaker of Emeline. Mage Meadowbrook, please sit and make yourself comfortable. My brother is get some tea and treats. Sit down and get comfortable no doubt this will a long conversation between you both."

Emeline would get up rather nervous. Her hair a complete mess but she couldn't not feel like there were so many eyes on her. She made sure to hide the marking as she left more ashamed by them than anything. <Who is here, Kenzo?>

<Who is else but the dragon prince himself...> Emeline lowered her head no knowing how to feel. It was like being corner animal. Vulnerable in every way of the word. Was he going to say? It was an odd feeling for the longest she had been bashing him over being reckless. Now that she had done the same she could only wonder what matter of disappointment he was feeling. <Akira....what do you want?>

Now of course there had indeed been a part of Akira that had expected this initial interaction to not go quite as well as he may had wanted it to, especially where Kenzo were concerned and naturally how protective the boy was of the ranger woman that was Emeline - so the fact that he would not be easily dismissed and rather be allowed to remain and eventually be teleported into the woman's home. "I understand, I didn't think that she would have recovered enough just yet to be able to easily 'see' or 'hear' - that's why I brought Terzo along as some extra help, same goes for you listening in." Akira would come to find himself responding in turn while offering a small nod of understanding also.

Once they were inside would Akira settle onto the other couch for a time while dual coloured eyes were drawn towards where the ranger woman were lying upon the other one across from him as his features creased in concern while his two companions would move a little nearer and in Terzo's case would the small Ralts boy come to climb onto Akira's lap in time. It were from here that Akira would turn his attention to the blue hued Deerling and come to offer a small bow of his head towards the equine pokemon all the while listening in a carefull manner before eventually responding. "it's a pleasure to meet you Mage and yes, I think this is certainly going to be a long one." Akira would answer politely and and agree with her determination.

It were when there would be movement from Emeline and she would come to sit up and - presumably from the fragments that Akira would be getting from Terzo as the small boy would tune himself in to not just the human male but those around him in order to make conversation easier - face forward and come to find out just who would have come to visit her this day. Of course there would be a great deal of sympathy that would come to flow through Akira upon seeing the ranger woman like this, especially with knowing how confident she was typically it were sad to see her in such a way, this would be the very reason that the raven haired man would find himself slowly rising to his feet and slowly moving over to where the woman sat before he would set Terzo down besides her as Akira slowly crouched down before her and - if he were allowed to do such a thing - reach his hands out to gently take hold of Emeline's hand in a gentle manner.

< I am not here to reprimand you or anything, I just wanted to come help you in whatever way I can. Especially when I can't imagine you'll want anyone else here, can you let me help you please? > Akira would 'respond' while gently squezing her hands in as reassuring a manner as he could and were allowed.

Of Kenzo knew but the warning still stood. He didn't give Akira a response allowed to do what was Akira does best cuddling the wound animal which just so happened to be his trainer. The ralts just watch while silent judging. In contrast to Mag smiled until she heard her brother calling her in the into the kitchen and the deerling went to see what was wrong.



<You would be correct. This is a problem I feel I alone should have to handle. I cause it after all.> Emeline on the other hand flinched at his hand at first. She removed her arm shoved down so he couldn't see her arms. She felt so uncomfortable like a stranger to her own skin even if Akira's touch was gentle and his words were warm as honey. She left anything but that deep down. < Help? There is nothing you do right now to help Akira. I need to heal from what happened is all. It's felt more more mental scars then physical ones. What happened after I was knocked out? All I remember is grabbing the gem and that was it. Everything went dark after that. Did you see what happened to the blonde fellow?>

Now it would be more than true that for the most part that Akira would push aside the warning that Kenzo had given him, not so that he could forget about such a thing - for he wouldn't do that - it were more because he wanted to focus upon trying to as best as he were able to get Emeline feeling somewhat better, granted it were unlikely but he had to try be a little positive right? < And whoever told you that is full of Tauros turd, if you let yourself think like that then when the time comes that you will actually be willing to have help and no one will want to because you pushed them away too many times. > Akira would find himself retorting in a kindly firm yet matter of fact manner, at least until he were faintly distracted by firstly Emeline pulling her hands away from him sharply along with Terzo gasping faintly in a surprised manner. < Uncle Aki you can't say 'Tauros turd'! That's naughty. > Would the small Ralts boy say in a surprised but attempted stern manner as he folded his arms a little in turn.

But anyway, whether she wanted his 'help' or not mattered little to Akira for it would not stop him from making the effort all the same and generally continue to be persistant all the same more so taking into consideration this so often just seemed like the sort of thing that the ranger woman would do regardless of the situation at hand. < Well, whether you want the help or not since seems am about the only one so far you have let come in here so even if it's just to keep you company or helping you out with little chores that you don't want to go out and do until you are feeling better again then there are bound to be enough ways that I can help surely? > Akira would come to find himself offering, after all he made a good point didn't he given the woman had not allowed her paramour to even come here.

At Emeline's next query regarding what happened after she had passed out during that cave issue would cause him to pause and generally hesitate for a short time before eventually seeming to sigh and answer her. < The 'pokemon' - if you can call it had, because I don't think it was completely pokemon - still could manage to battle but it seemed almost more crazed than before and when it was defeated this strange shadow escaped it's body. It was really strange . . . As for the blond guy Ididn't really notice where he went after we all got out of that cave, I was a little more focused on making sure you got out of there safe and Terzo here was looking after Mica, well at least Mica in his pokeball. > Akira explained as carefully as he could.

< Curdly put but he does have a point and you know it.> Kenzo's words were like strings pulling on her heart and yet Emeline's resolve remained firm. She sighed, a grim expression grew on her face. He didn't know of her markings or her madness. The only who did was Nix. She was trying to keep this on the downlow so it would be out of control and yet. It didn't seem to be the case. <Look, Akira. I get this not the first time I ran and hid when I am in pain or suffering however with everything that happened. This time it's out of my control when it happens I can't stop. It’s beyond by my control or anyone for the moment.>

Emeline snatched her arm from his hand. The faintest hint of blue markings could be seen from her arm however she quickly tried to hide it again. Pray, Akira didn't notice. <I have been well on my own. My pokemon works in the store and helps me when I need it. I might be blind and deaf but I am not completely defenseless.> 

Kenzo was having none of her attics  but he want to be amused himself as well.<Laundry...if you want some to help her with than that might be start. I trust you don't mind touching women's undergarments.> At this moment Emeline just gave up fighting out fear of her anger getting the better of her. 

Stay Calm. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself before this got out of hand. <I figured as much. There was no way he would have stayed not like that anyway.> The blonde frowned wondering if that would have been the last time she never saw him. The brother had got away.

Now Akira were more than aware that he would need to be a little more careful and patient as a whole when it came to dealing with the ranger woman that was Emeline, for he were well aware as to just how strong willed and the like that she was even under more typical circumstances but who could say what she were like at this particular point in time? < Your right, this isn't the first time and whether things are in your control or not you'll forgive me hopefully if I don't pay too much attention to it since you have a tendency to be snappy with me quite alot anyway. > Akira would find himself responding before seemingly shrugging a little in something of a dismissive manner.

Though the rather violent - at least from Akira's perspective - reaction of Eme snatching her arm away frmo him would cause the raven haired man to frown faintly frowning in puzzlement as his dual coloured eyes glanced towards her retreating arm, the frown on his features deepening ever so slightly as he thought he would have seen some odd coloured markings upon the woman's arm beneath her clothing but he would purposefully not point such out. If the ranger woman didn't want to say anything just yet then he would in no way ask her of such a thing up until she felt ready to share such a thing even if it were to be a long time before such a time would come and rather he would simply allow a sigh to escape him. < I never said you were defenseless in any way Emeline, I just want to at least try and be a good friend and help you out in whatever way I can. Besides, thought you might like the excuse of bossing me around a bit, that and there's someone I want you to me. Or more accurately someone who may have gotten a little excited about wanting to meet you. > Akira would make efforts to say in a gentle and soothing manner as he would - if he were indeed allowed - reach a hand out to gently run fingers lightly across the woman's cheeek before pulling his hand away just as quickly to avoid ussetting or otherwise angering her.

It would be Kenzo's statement - or demand? whichever it would turn out to be - regarding just what he could do in order to make himself useful that would cause Akira to try stop himself from laughing out loud by turning his face away to hide the amusement that would form upon his face before pulling himself together as he finally turned to look between Kenzo and Emeline for a short time. < So long as the lady of the house can tolerate me hanging around doing that and any other chores she may think up for me to do and before you even say it I'm not some weirdo or perv that gets some thrill out of such things. > Well, it were true and it were jsut completely up to the ranger woman ultimately also.

< Who is he anyway? Anyone important? >

[Émeline Regnard]

Émeline Sébastien Regnard The tension hung heavy in the air, pulsating almost like a drumbeat. This seemed to occur every time Emeline dug her heels in, and Akira wasn't having any of it, despite his deep care for her. Concern for the well-being of the group weighed heavily on Kenzo's mind; her reluctance threatened to stall their progress. "Are we going to keep repeating this same cycle? You need to break these old habits," he remarked firmly. "Kenzo..." Emeline sighed, turning her head in Akira's direction, though she couldn't see his face. She knew what needed to be said. "Can you blame me? I was furious. Fawn was suffering, or at least I think she was. Many of the gijinka were in pain. How would you feel if every cautionary word you uttered to someone dear to you fell on deaf ears? It's like speaking to a brick wall, all while desperately trying to shield someone you deeply care about. Every time I urged you to stop, you persisted, and it only worsened." "But now the tables have turned, and I'm unsure how to process it anymore. Who is this person? A new Pokémon companion of yours?" There was a heavy silence, the ache in her heart lingering as she prepared to divulge everything. It was a relief to unburden herself. "Do you want me to take charge again? Ha ha. Alright, Akira, go find a maid outfit and start cleaning. Just kidding! I'm kidding. The laundry is fine." "See, even Kai gets it. I think he might still have a few pairs for some unknown reason," Kenzo remarked, Emeline's lack of reaction to his words indicating that her comment was directed solely at Akira. "Important... I-I?" The pain sliced through Emeline's thoughts, causing her to retract her hand and clutch her arms, taking deep breaths to steady herself. The ache intensified, becoming unbearable. gH4OeKnh rolling for triggering less than 25 will trigger Markings didn't trigger yet... "Yes, Akira. He... he was my older brother. I'm certain of it. He was the one who left even before I did." "That's only half of my predicament. It's not just blindness and deafness," Emeline admitted, her cheeks flushing slightly as she quickly adjusted her shirt to reveal her arms. While she wore a bra, the sight of the intricate blue wave patterns covering her arms was foreign and unsettling. "Look, this is why I'm not part of the union right now. If I react too strongly to stimuli, it triggers intense flare-ups that last for hours. I lose control and transform into a cruel monster. I don't know how to rid myself of it." Akira "Raine" Kaitos

Now, while Akira may very well find himself staying silent as Emeline spoke and brought up all that he were already aware of and the like due to them having on so many previous occasions having been told such and heard it all so many times as a whole over the years - did it sound odd that it were at the point where he could nearly so easily recite such things off by heart? But he had long since known that he had been wrong with his actions despite having thought he were doing the right thing at the time, so that was why he were not going to bother making any form of response to her words since there were so many variations of an answer he had already given and he were tired of repeating himself.

< And now you know why I was wary about getting close to that being, you should have known better having seen what happened to me but you were certainly the reckless one this time. But Don't worry, I can understand we can forget about this for now since there is no point worrying about it. . . . And yes, I have a couple of 'someone's' I would like to introduce you too. > Akira would make attempts to sooth the woman before moving onto more fully clarifying his other intentions after a while, it would be the woman's comment about wearing a maid outfit that would come to get the man genuinely laughing for a time. < Oh? A maid outfit you say? Well if that is what you want and would make you laugh or anything else then I am sure we can work something out. > Would he throw back after a while while trying his best to not laugh though that would be a big fail at hearing Kenzo's comment that would become clear the woman wouldn't have noted.

Now when the conversation would have moved onto the blond man that they had been talking of and the reaction in which would seem to come over Emeline all of a sudden would cause a certain amount of alarm for the raven haired as he would uncertainly dare try - with likely no success as of yet - to offer some comfort to the woman as she made her explanation would he come to understand. Needless to say Akira would make no further effort to question her on such a matter and all else that were involved lest such a thing affect her badly, this were the last thing that he would want for her.

When Eme would begin to elaborate further upon her condition and begin the act of removing her top in order to reveal what were upon her arms would Akira's eyes would widen slightly in surprise as he would not be able to pull his eyes away for a moment but would look a little embarrassed himself as he would allow his eyes to drop away for a short time lest it seem strange that he were staring even if Eme couldn't exactly 'see' him right now. Though it were not as if he could avoid looking at her forever especially with what she were trying to show him, though there were one way he could at the very least try and make her feel comfortable right?

Thus it would be here that Akira would carefully remove his red and white jacket before carefully leaning forward to wrap it would her - much like a towel - in order to make her feel a little less exposed before fingertips would run over her arms and the blue markings that marked her arms as he cautiously studied them for a time. < Well given how those crystals affected those 'pokemon' it's no surprise it affected you like this, but all can do is give it time and hopefully that might just be what is needed to get you better - the fact that those 'crystals' didn't seem natural helps, the damage could have been so much worse. I am so sorry Eme . . . .. I should have been the one to be in your place rather than hesitating so you didn't get hurt. > Akira would find himself apologising in what could only be described as a pained manner.

It would be from here and without Akira having realised that his other pokemon companion - who had been keeping a careful distance while watching the pair of humans for a time before the Absol would take careful steps nearer after an age and more so the woman having to 'expose' herself to show the markings to gently lay her head upon the woman's arm in an attempt at reassuring her while Akira would in turn gently take Eme's hand to settle atop the Absol's head. < Ok, so this is Kaisa - she's a Shulian Absol, she's a little different though, lets just say it's her actual job to babysit me. > Akira would introduce in time

[Émeline Regnard]

Émeline Sébastien Regnard <What's the matter, Akira? Surprised she's more well-endowed than you thought?> Kenzo's telepathic voice seemed even cheekier than before, almost as if he were relishing in Akira's momentarily lost composure. After all, they were friends, and almost anything was fair game. <Got something else on your mind now, don't you?> <Sorry if that seems like the wrong way to do it, but that what happen. From my understanding, the shadow pokemon might have something like mega stones. I believe they've manipulated the mana within me. But I need to find one of them myself to confirm,> Emeline explained. Though she couldn't see or hear, she felt Akira wrapping his jacket around her. She sensed that it was a gesture made in the heat of the moment, perhaps driven by discomfort with her body. However, the fact that Akira, the raven-haired man, dared to touch her arms contradicted that assumption. Emeline felt a mix of emotions. <Alright, when my sight returns... if it does, I would love to see you in that maid outfit. It would definitely get a laugh out of me for sure.> <Sorry...I also ask that you keep this a secret unless you're talking with either Nix or someone from the village. I don't want anyone else to worry about my condition more than they should. I'll tell Mr. Shock when I'm ready... it's just not now.> The blonde paused, wrapping her arm around Akira's waist, pulling him close to her. "Don't be sorry. If I'm lucky, there will be some way to get rid of it, or it will go away on its own. I'm hopeful." Meanwhile, she allowed the other presence to touch the foreign object — wait, this was like fur. It was Pokémon fur! "A Shulian Absol. I've seen them before. Nix has one. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kaisa. Do take care of Akira; he gets a bit grumpy if he goes past his bedtime."

To say that Akira were slightly stunned by Kenzo's particular choice of words were certainly more than enough to momentarily stun and otherwise surprise the raven haired man as slightly wide eyes and open mouth - a generally stunned look overall - would be cast towards the other Ralts, in all honesty Akira truly had no idea how to answer such a thing for if he were to deny anything in regards to what had been said he would of course be branded a liar. Meanwhile if he admitted anything who could say just how everyone were to react? Especially Emeline considering the particular topic were about her, this were all that would take for the man to remain silent for the longest of times and find himself looking back to the ranger woman as she began her apology and shared her thoughts regarding the crystals. all of which certainly made sense. < That would actually make sense, especially given what I felt when I tried getting rid of the shards that were on your arms in that Cave. > Akira would respond though it would be considered more of a murmur under other circumstances before his focus would shift back onto the topic that he felt he would need to address before too many assumptions were made by anyone.

"Terzo, can you please make sure Emeline hear's everything that I am going to say. I don't want any misunderstandings because someone else decided to change my words around." Akira purposefully spoke as he looked to his own Ralts as he did so as the boy nodded while the raven haired man glanced towards Kenzo briefly, for it were not as if he would need to fully explain his reasoning for such. It would be from here that Akira turned his attention back towards Emeline and take a moment to gather his thoughts before taking a breath and with a certain amount of caution would he come to gently rest his hands upon the woman's arm in an attempt to ensure he had her attention.

< Emeline - if I offended you in any way by wrapping my jacket around you when you took your top off to show me these markings on your arms that wasn't my intention, I promise you that. I just didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable in any way in thinking I may have been inappropriately staring at you, considering Knezo seems to think I would do that - not to say that you are not a beautiful woman because you are but it would be wrong of me to be checking you out while should be focusing on other things right? > Akira explained gently and dammit now his mind was in the gutter, damn Kenzo.

When mention would be made about him being in the maid outfit and the ranger woman wanting to see that would get genuine laughter escaping the man as he nodded even if the woman couldn't see such that was what verbal confirmation was for right? < As you command My Lady - one maid outfit and a slave you shall have for as long as you need me for. And don't apologise, I understand better than you think with not wanting to tell anyone about this until feel ready to, no one especially sparky boy himself will hear it from me until you feel comfortable with doing so yourself. > Akira agreed easily, now when Emeline would wrap her arms around him in order to pull him close for a hug - a detail that would be handy in it's own way since it seemed as if his jacket had slipped loose and down a little - would there be a certain amount of hesitation at first before he would wrap his own arms around the woman and lightly rest his hands upon her bare back if he were allowed and just hold her.

Meanwhile in Kaisa's case she would keep still and allow the woman to stroke her and speak in turn, the Absol female would gently lean into the woman's action in a gentle manner for an age before eventually responding in a careful manner. < Pleased to meet Miss Emeline, yes - I make sure that his 'illness' is managed and doesn't come to too much harm when he has his 'episodes'. Get grumpy when he can't have his gummy sweets too, like big child. > The Absol would respond in a careful manner as she somewhat haltingly before glancing to the man in an amused manner, it would be here that Kaisa would take note of the silent look that the man were giving her before she were to move to retrieve another pokeball from the man's jacket pocket before eventually activating it to release the one from within.

Though it would be from here that - assuming Kenzo didn't do such a thing - that Terzo would aide the woman in 'seeing' the Shulian Mimikyu girl who would begin giggling and chattering away happily upon release. < Oh are we here to see pretty lady already? Ohhh! there she is! She IS pretty - hiiii! Are you the pretty lady that Akira said would be my friend? Oh my gosh what happened to your cloths? Can I make you some new ones? > Would the small girl chatter away in an excited manner while Akira would manage a small chuckle.

< And this is Aklya-ren, though she likes being called Rennie too. She may have gotten excited about meeting you. > Akira would come to introduce as after a while the small Mimikyu girl would shuffle nearer as ghostly hands slowly and carefully made an appearnce to gently and almost uncertainly begin prodding at the woman.

[Émeline Regnard]

Émeline Sébastien Regnard You little... Kenzo seethed inwardly, but outwardly he maintained his composure. Akira might not have realized the impact his words could have, but emotions spoke volumes to others. Kenzo could read them like the flow of water in a stream. "Look, I don't mean to read into others' emotions, but Akira, yours are quite easy too. Don't be foolish; you're a man with needs. It's not wrong to want something. Most of us can understand that. After all, we're all friends here, aren't we?" Logically speaking, he wasn't about to let his friend get thrown under the bus like that, and getting a reaction out of him was better than anything. Emeline wasn't that oblivious; she could see right through Kenzo's intentions and Akira's reasoning. She could almost imagine the blush tinting his cheeks. If only she had her sight back, maybe then she could see it clearly. <I understand what you and Kenzo mean, although I don't think much about it. If I did, and Akira was truly crazy, he would be bananas for a girl just sitting here in a bra and wear his jacket. You can look at me all you want, but I know Akira wouldn't do anything bizarre, and I don't see this as bizarre. Thank you for calling me beautiful, and keep this all a secret too. Even though right now, I don't feel it. Your words make me smile.> Kenzo simply remained silent, knowing that her view of Akira and his were always going to be different. He didn't need to say it; he knew she would likely think it over, but he would let it go... for now. Emeline seemed to derive some amusement decided to redirect her attention to Kaisa and the other Pokémon. Meeting new friends was wonderful. "Good, someone can finally keep Akira in his place. He really needs it. And hello, Rennie. You're just a burst of energy. My cloth?" <It's Mimikyu, at least I think she is. A Shulian one,> Kenzo informed the ranger. Emeline chuckled. <Oh, that makes a lot of sense,> she raised her hands to her voice. <I don't really wear cloths, but I know my girl Melly would love some. My Caterpie makes the best silk; I should have some extra around here somewhere.> <In the closest in the huge black bag you do.> Kenzo, really? Emeline sighed. <In any case, I'm really glad to meet you, even if I can't see you properly just yet. Tell me how did you find Akira?> Akira "Raine" Kaitos

[Akira "Raine" Kaitos]

'I want you to hold on because you are the reason I keep living
To be apart from you would be more painful than death
So stay with me as you know I'd come for you wherever you will go even if to the ends of the earth
For you are more precious to me than life itself'

Now Akira would not be able to stop the smirk that would come to form upon his features at the general change that would come over Kenzo regarding the raven haired man's counter to the other Ralts previous attempts to cause him discomfort - somehow it did indeed feel more than satisfying that he had managed to get one up on Kenzo even if it were only for a brief moment and unlikely to last for too long he were going to enjoy such for as long as he could.

Ans needless to say Akira would indeed be right when he would take note of the next statement that would be directed his way wouold be more than enough to get the raven haired man almost silently fuming but be equally embarressed for Emeline's sake if nothing else as his dual coloured eyes narrowed faintly as he would turn his focus to Kenzo for the longest of times and remained silent while listening and trying to gather his thoughts a little. After all - Akira would have to admit that overall Kenzo were indeed technically corrtect in regards to the whole 'you have needs' comment but in this particular situation it did not make it any less awkward or uncomfortable all the same.

"Alright Kenzo; I'll give you that. Let's say for arguments sake that you are indeed right. Everyone has their own needs and the like but it doesn't mean I am going to do something here and now - I wouldn't want to ruin the friendship that Eme and I have." Akira would find himself verbally responding to Kenzo, thankfully it would not be all too long before Emeline would begin 'talking' again which would cause the man to turn his attention back around to her and listen while she spoke until she were done.

< Thank you . . . . I am glad you trust me enough to know I wouldn't dare do anything to you. And don't worry I wouldn't dare mention the little detail of this, not unless I want to get myself electrocuted more than I get now. Though you are more than welcome even though it's the truth but I am glad such things are enough to make you smile. I have to admit though, I forget how tiny - well short - you are my jacket looks huge on you. > Akira would find himself responding with a trace of amusement lacing his words in turn.

Meanwhile when words would be directed towards the Shulian Absol female that was Kaisa would cause a certain amount of amusement to pass over the white female and a simple impression would be passed to Emeline of I like this one before Kaisa would find herself shuffling a little nearer to briefly rest her head upon the woman's lap for a short time and in a gentle way. Now in the case of the little Mimikyu girl's case she would be somewhat distracted in trying to get an idea on Emeline's measurements - or at least up until the blond woman would make mention of not wanting any which would cause a certain amount of disappointment for for the girl before perking up once more when an alternative would be found.

< Oh yes! I love making cloths! I'll make nice cloths for this Melly and with silk too?! Yes! > The little girl almost squealed in a happy manner which in turn would cause Akira to begin chuckling softly in an amused manner, the Mimikyu girl would finally settle down when Eme would begin to direct her query about how the two pokemon had met the human male that she would waves ghostly hands about eagerly.

< Oh me first! Found him in the swamp! I knew he was always going to be my human, I always knew. I could feel him and missed him. I know it doesn't make sense but I knew there couldn't be anyone else. My guardian before told me Akira would come find me and he did! Am so happy now! > Would the little ghostly girl would answer happily before looking up at the man in question before she would soon snuggle happily and calm down a little in the man's arms for the longest of times.

< Little Rennie is so excitable, but a good little girl too. > Would come a soft and kind comment from Kaisa in time before starting to chuckle in time.
