| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 222 || TAG: Laurent Vanderbilt | Leo felt a moment of relief realising he had in fact picked the better pass for the day. That was probably the first thing he had done right all day. As he hobbled alongside his new acquaintance he noted the disappointment in Ren's voice as he began to talk of the after parties that were likely to occur. "Hey. I might be the life of the party, I have this neat trick of falling on my face!" he laughed before offering a slight wink.
Missing out on a party would definitely be disappointing. Damn those DC thugs smashing his leg. "Hey perhaps we could stock up on drinks and watch these shows instead!" he added, a nervous chuckle escaping the teen as he did so.
Turning back to the new friends, Chauntea suggested that they perhaps keep the gaming side a secret because the music was more of a substantial thing. The small fire fox laughed before nodding. "Music is definitely much better. You should hear Leo's songs!" a wide smile painted itself upon Ember's face as she spoke.
Shopping? Battles? Now this was something Ember could get behind! An excited yip escaped the fox, before looking around slightly embarrassed.
"Excuse me. I do love a spot of shopping! I think I'm pretty good at battling too. Maybe I can teach you!" |

Though Leo’s chuckle was nervous, Laurent was intrigued by the idea. “You’re brilliant!” he insisted as he plopped down in his seat, awaiting the screening preview for the panel they’d come to. “No, no, that’s smart…” At least, it felt like a good idea. At a party, Laurent didn’t need to be himself. People would be happy to see ‘Link’ (or, whoever else he was dressed up as) schmoozing around others.
If it was one on one, he’d have to be himself, wouldn’t he? And, as harmless as Leo seemed, revealing his interests to one person would eventually mean others might make the connection. Could his social standing take that?
To ditch Leo for fun and his ego or to be decent about his new friend and do something else that seemed like a good time? Oh, choices.
“That’s… smart,” Laurent echoed, mulling over his options as the presentation began.
Getting under the humans’ feet where the chairs were didn’t appeal to the lechonk at all. She made a little face, tongue sticking out at the idea. She and Ember could sit to the side, nice and away from the excessive movement of so many bodies.
“Oh, Emmie, you’re a dream!” she said, refocusing on the vulpix after her cute little yip of excitement. “That settles it! Shopping and battles!” She tilted her head, ears flopping to reveal their yellow insides as she did so. “I wonder what we ought to do first… They can both be tiring… Maybe different days?”

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 305 || TAG: Laurent Vanderbilt | A wave of relief ran through Leo as Laurent seemed amenable to the idea of stocking up on drinks and having a TV marathon. Perhaps he was actually making a friend? Given recent events, friends were very few and far between nowadays, so it was nice to actually be able to socialise with somebody without fear of an argument or worse to follow. "I mean, we can also find some games to play, I'm sure I can dig out the consoles and see what we can do! Just... a few ideas I guess?" the teen added to his initial idea whilst shuffling on his seat trying to get as comfortable as possible given the leg injury.
Ember kept close to her new friend as they made their way to a more spacious area of the room. "Good plan Tea!" the small fox chirped as she lowered herself to the ground and began making herself comfortable.
The Lechonk seemed so down to earth and friendly, it was a refreshing change to the carnage that Ember dealt with at home with the others. They were all so rowdy and loud. It was nice to just relax for a change. The Vulpix smiled broadly as Tea came to agree that shopping and battles would be a good thing to have on their agenda. She did raise a valid question though, in what order?
Ember paused for a moment pondering the options before looking back to her new friend. "Well - if it was to be done on the same day, I would suggest shopping first, it can be tiring but battles can be much more taxing!" she spoke before looking to their respective trainers "In all honesty, I've always just say on Leo's shoulder if we are shopping, so I guess I don't actually know how tiring it is." |

“How’s your wifi?” came Ren’s very practical return question. “No, nevermind, carrying around your consoles is too much.” He’d gotten wrapped up in the idea. Someone was clearly a fan of Leo’s suggestion. He grinned, imagining the possibilities. “Yeah, no, that’ll work. What do you like to eat? I’ll order since you’re hosting.”
And, it was that easy. They had things in common and Ren found himself not giving into the strict desire to keep his hobbies so staunchly split apart from his casual self. Though, the thought of how a proper introduction would go still lingered as a distinct worry.
Leo was here, too, though. It’d be silly if he minded too terribly much. … Right?
“Hm, might not be an option as he is,” Chauntea noted, glancing over at the two boys. “Well, the solution’s easy then! We’ll have to get one of those little pull along things! They’re more padded than a wagon… I forget the name.” She nodded. “It’ll save us our energy! And, whatever we get can go there!”

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 234 || TAG: Laurent Vanderbilt | Leo grinned in return as Ren began to speak of the idea he had suggested. "My WiFi? I've never had any issues?" he responded, more so in thought trying to cast his mind back to whether any issues had occurred. Shaking his head softly, he returned his gaze back to his new friend. "I'm fairly easy with food. Just... Not fish, not a fan... Which is weird given I grew up in Seabreeze..." the teen trailed off slightly shivering at the thought of eating fish. There was just something about it...
This trip was turning into a mild success, seemingly the teen was making a new friend, Ember had certainly made a new friend already. Perhaps it wasn't that bad after all!
Speaking of the pokemon. Ember, following Chauntea's glance noticed that their trainers appeared to be making plans. Was it approaching time to leave?
Sighing slightly Ember returned her gaze to Tea. "They seem to be getting on really well. It's really good to see really. Leo has struggled of late..." the fox spoke softly before shaking her head off. That was a story for another time right?
"Oh you mean a cart?" Ember chirped, her eyes widening with excitement. "What a marvelous idea! We can pull it together and it'll make it easier too!" she continued, a wide smile upon her face.
"We must insist that the boys take us shopping soon..."

He couldn’t help but laugh. “But, you could get it fresh!” Oh well. It wasn’t like they’d be able to get it as fresh here. The man shook his head, thinking it over. “I’ll order from a few places, just so we can sample it all. I’m not sure what’s best around here anyways.” That was how he’d enjoyed a brief holiday in Paldea.
Shula didn’t quite have that walk-eat-wander ritual here. Nor would it be of much good to his new friend with presently limited mobility…
All the same, Laurent was smiling as he looked forward.
“That darling?” Chauntea asked, looking over at the teen in surprise. He was so inoffensive and, if she could be honest, funny! What trouble could he have gotten into? “Hmph! Well, we’ll have to tell off anyone who gives him trouble from now on. If anyone bothers us while we peruse, I’ll… I’ll…”
What could she do? Chauntea wasn’t particularly strong herself and she didn’t like genuine fighting much. A casual battle could be okay because it was strictly sporting, but she wasn’t much for brutish behavior.
“I’ll sic Gunhild upon them. She’s a menace when she’s inclined.” The lechonk nodded her head, ears fluttering as she did so. She wiggled, settling both in her determination and in her spot beside the vulpix.

Unable to control himself, Leo let loose a laugh of his own in response to Ren's reaction before shaking his head. "Nope. Can't do it." he chuckled before raising a hand to scratch the back of his head. As his new acquaintance suggested sampling different types of food, the teen grinned. "Ah, a man after my own heart!" he chuckled before turning to see where their respective girls were.
Ember meanwhile sighed softly as Chauntea seemed almost confused at the fact Leo had been in trouble. Shaking her head slightly, her expression dropped briefly.
"Yeah... We met a very nice chap at the zoo a while back and they got on a little too well." the fire type began to explain before shifting her gaze to her trainer for a moment. "Turns out, the other guy was.... Married or something like that i'unno" she finished before a smile softly crept back to her face.
"That's why I'm so happy that those two are getting along. He's been a little bit of an Outcast all around recently." a small nod was offered to the Lechonk before laughing at the thought of setting more ferocious pokemon on the haters. "Sounds fun... Who's Gunhild?" she asked.
Leo sighed as he finally caught sight of the girls. "They seem to be getting along really well!" he chuckled pointing to then before turning back to Ren. "Shall we make a move?"

The scandal! Chauntea very politely glossed by it. She wouldn’t shame her new friend nor her trainer by focusing on that bit. There were good times ahead for all! “She’s my teammate. A terror in battle, but keeps to herself otherwise. She’d be delighted to go rough someone up for you,” the lechonk assured.
Well, that wasn’t true. Gunhild wouldn’t go out and fight anyone as a favor to anyone else. She would, however, take up a training opportunity with vicious glee.
The panel was done. Laurent stood up with a little stretch. “Yeah, sounds good.” His expression softened as he watched the two pokemon continue to chat. “... I’m glad she made a friend.” And, then, more adamantly, to keep the light air going, he’d thump Leo’s shoulder. “And, us, too!”
