'I want you to hold on because you are the reason I keep livingTo be apart from you would be more painful than deathSo stay with me as you know I'd come for you wherever you will go even if to the ends of the earthFor you are more precious to me than life itself' Akira 'Raine' KaitosMusic: N/A | |Location: Vester City || Outfit: usual outfit plus red and white jacket OOC Info:notes: roll on egg hatching and arguments || "Akira Speech" || Leo Lockward
Though it would not seem like spring had arrived given the lingering cold weather that held the land of Shula within it's grasp Akira would know the opposite to be completely true; for he had known and noticed such a couple of weeks leading up to the change of the seasons when the all too familliar feeling of discomfort and the headaches that would begin growing in intensity would be the first signs that it would be that time of year again. Well; it were not as if it were anything new right?
And now that the cold spring had taken hold would normally find the raven haired man find himself quite literally hiding away at home and barely venturing out - and dear Arceus he really did wish he could just hibernate at home and not go out anywhere - but as it currently stood he were not about to have that luxury. Rather Akira had found himself tucked away in one of the smaller cafe's within Vester ciy; well more accurately his pair of babysitters / caretakers in the form of the shulian Absol and shiny Audino that were currently escorting him had in part encouraged in part dragged him out rather than the human male remaining at home.
This would be at least part of the reason for the raven haired human to be tucked away in one of the corner booths with the pair of pokemon either sitting besides him on the wrap-a-round seat and underneath the table, after all the intentions of the pair to get him out of the house for a while had worked but it were the other intentions that maybe were not working so much.
A thin hand and arm would subconciously wrap around the egg that were on his lap - yet another surprise little addition that had come into his possesion as a result of various reasons - while listlessly playing with the food that had since been placed before him. The one thing that would pull the man out of his thoughts would be the sharp strike of the spoon that would hit the back of his hand before being waved almost threateningly at the man wo in turn would lift his gaze to look towards the Audino in question who were softly chattering away while motioning to the man's food.
"Sorry Orion, but I did warn you I wouldn't be that hungry even if this is my favourite and a small portion - I know you are just trying to help but don't really wanna be here. Will try even if just to make you two feel better." Akira would find himself responding softly as he offered the Audino male the smallest and faintest of sad smiles before glancing to Kaisa who would stick her head out from under the table and where she had been enjoying her own meal that had been offered her despite technically working before withdrawing back away to leave the human in her shiny companions care. As such it would be with a sigh that Orion would give the human man a sceptical look before simply nodding and withdrawing his spoon from threatening the man and rather focus back upon the porridge that he were eating.
Well, this were a good start at the very least right?

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 436 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | Spring had arrived. Something Leo was slightly thankful for given how cold the winter was, he lived in hope that the spring months would at least bring some warmth back to Shula. Not too much though, he wasn't a fan of being too hot, but then he wasn't a fan of being too cold so it was a juggling game of picking which would be the lesser of two evils so to speak.
Having recently moved in to his own apartment in Vester City, the teen had decided to take a wander round the city to see what little places he could frequent when he wasn't out journeying with his little family of Pokemon. Vanim, they latest, and possibly grumpiest addition to the team plodded along ahead of the teen, almost as if he were leading the human rather than the other way around.
"Come on Vanim. You don't even know where you are. Why are you leading the way?" the ghost type turned at his trainers words and simply grunted in response. "I'm scouting the area. Use your brain. You've been injured before, someone has to look after you."
The teen simply huffed, as he began to make his way towards the pup, which in itself was rather difficult given the shattered leg. It appeared meanwhile that Vanim was beginning to smell something, his nose dropping to the ground as if he were beginning to track a target. The small flame on his head flickering, perhaps excitedly, before speeding up to a run towards a small cafe. "Hey. Wait up!" Leo yelled after the pup as he attempted to speed up to chase the pokemon, although there was of course only so fast one could hop.
As the teen approached, the pup sat at the door, excitedly wagging it's tail as the flame on its head had grown and continued to flicker. "Smells good. In human!" the pup ordered Leo. Rolling his eyes slowly the teen stepped towards the door, pushing it open to grant access to the excited pup.
As Leo made his way towards the counter, to order something for himself and Vanim, a familiar voice spoke out behind the teen causing his heart to sink.
Turning slowly, he noticed the dual coloured orbs that were Akira's eyes. But, something was off. He looked - different. The raven haired man was clearly injured, and given recent happenings in his own life, he could only assume Akira would have had it much worse. The teen took a moment to observe the man for what felt like an age before taking a deep breath.
"Hey Angel..." |

'I want you to hold on because you are the reason I keep livingTo be apart from you would be more painful than deathSo stay with me as you know I'd come for you wherever you will go even if to the ends of the earthFor you are more precious to me than life itself' Akira 'Raine' KaitosMusic: N/A | |Location: Vester City || Outfit: usual outfit plus red and white jacket OOC Info:notes: roll on egg hatching and arguments || "Akira Speech" || Leo Lockward
Now for the most part Akira would not have really been paying too much attention in regards to all that were going on around him and to some degree this would also include not taking much note of any people who would have also been arriving and leaving this place also, after all he had to at the very least try make the effort to focus upon trying - and ultimately failing - to eat. For the last thing in which Akira really wanted were to get nagged any further; however as it were to ultimately turn out this were going to be the lesser of two evils as a less than pleasent queasy feeling kept surfacing after a mere few mouthfuls before pushing the bowl away.
It were here that mildly unfocused and listless eyes would come to wonder around somewhat unfocused and not lingering on anything long enough to register such before it would drop to the white female that had wriggled out of her current resting spot to look upwards towards the human male in a disapproving yet sympathetic manner. Akira would have since found himself unwittingly flinching and offering a sad and guilty smile, here would he begin to attempt to relax before a familliae voice - and the nickname that would ignite a flicker of recognition with it - would unwittingly cause the dual eyed raven haired man to almsot uneasily / nervously tense up for a time as eyes drifted towards the younger male that had clearly not long entered the cafe.
"Think you got me mixed up with someone else . . . . . . . . . . hey Leo. . . . . . . " Would come the almost quiet response in time before Akira would end up allowing his eyes to drop away from the younger teen male as he were unable to look upon the other as he spoke, well - given how much of an ass he had been towards the other it were of no surprise right?

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 201 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | Leo paused for a moment a look of sadness taking hold of him as he saw the state that Akira was currently in.
The sadness in the raven haired man's voice was like a knife cutting into the teen further, but no. He had to be strong right? Can't have two people feeling sorry for themselves at the same time it would just be a recipe for disaster. Nevertheless the teen couldn't help but feel uneasy given recent events.
He shuffled around slowly and hobbled slightly closer to the man. Wow he looked so defeated. "What in Arceus' name has happened to you?!" blue eyes scanned over the figure of the raven haired man the look of concern plain to see.
Vanim stepped forward towards Kaisa, looking between the two humans before rolling his eyes. "Another human beaten up. They really are weak..." the ghost type huffed before turning to Kaisa. "So what's his story then?"
Leo shot a glare towards the pup before shifting his gaze back to Akira. "You look like you haven't eaten properly in weeks..." the teen began to speak once more before a pain fired through his leg and he winced for a moment.
"Damn it..." |

Now if Leo had indeed got the impression that Akira were in any way feeling sorry for himself - he sure as hell wasn't - then it would more than likely surprise the younger teen male to know that the older raven haired, dual eyed man felt no sympathy of any kind towards himself. Sure there were a great deal of sadness and regret that would be in place and likely evident both upon Akira's features and clear in his general demeanour however he would in no way allow self pity to be one of the feelings that filled him for even the dual eyed man were more than aware that he deserved whatever pain and all else that came with such to be felt and come his way. Thus needless to say any pity that Akira did indeed feel would be aimed towards Leo, after all the older male had behaved like a complete a-hole towards the other in the assumption that he were doing the right thing by behaving in such a manner and needless to say he had been wrong despite the supposed 'good' intentions.
Now while Akira would have long since found his dual gaze being tugged away from the other male and generally unable to look the other in the eye for the longest of times but would also still be making something of an effort to at least somewhat pay attention to what the other would come to say. "Huh, I thought I vaguely mentioned when we first met that me and spring don't mix that well. Otherwise I have no clue what you are talking about." Akira would find himself purposefully stating, of course he would have an idea but he were going to refuse to acknowledge such a thing and for the moment went with the option of just outright denying such things.
From here would Kaisa simply have settled herself down so that she were laying partly out from under the table in order to observe both human male's all the while listening to what they were saying before allowing something of a sigh to escape herself before she would turn her attention towards the strange canine that would have approached her and begun to speak. < To show weakness in the right circumstances and to the right person is not a bad thing, that and not everyone needs to be strong and not get hurt. > Would the white female find herself countering but would be just as quick to seemingly shrug this train of conversation off before focusing upon the query that be put to her.
< Mistakes were made, consequences were harsh and painful . . . . Put illness on top of that and you have a mess. > Would be the vague answer that would be offered, well it just about covered all the necessary details without going into great depth - that was acceptable wasn't it? And she wasn't sharing too much 'personal' information was she?
What could only be described as something of a dismissive and indifferent shrug to the teen's next statement, well in fairness this were normal for Akira in many ways but then again he were aware that it were less so for others more so for those who had not been around him much. "Oh right; uhhh . . . . this is about normal. I struggle with health issues more in the spring and tend to severely struggle to eat, or at least keep anything down. Between that and some other things I really haven't been focusing on myself I guess?" Well it were not a lie?
Though it would be when the mild curse would escape the younger man that would sharply gain Akira's attention along with that of the Audino that would be sitting next to him as the raven haired man would try half stand up but would be beaten to it by the shiny who would beat him to it before starting to chatter away and prodding the younger male with his 'weapon' of choice - specifically a spoon - while Akira sighed. "For Arceus's sake sit down - your leg clearly is still bad what's the point of you being daft and not resting." Would the dual eyed man find himself snapping.

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 427 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | Leo huffed quietly as Akira seemed to refuse to look at him in the eye. He had been acting off since they last saw each other during the DC attack which was the cause for the teens busted leg. Granted, he probably shouldn't have tried to be a hero, but it was what it was and he now had to deal with the damage until it healed.
The raven haired man spoke up about his spring illness, although he knew that wasn't what the teen was speaking of. Rolling his eyes, Leo looked to him once more. "You know that's not what I'm talking about. But all the same, it's good to see you are not letting it completely defeat you!" the teen sighed.
Vanim meanwhile was stood by the Absol who had now began to speak of weakness not being a bad thing. The canine snorted at this. "Of course it is a bad thing. How are you supposed to protect yourself if you are weak?" the pup retorted before rolling his eyes and looking back to Leo and Akira. "He thinks he's saving me. But I've only gone along with him because he is clearly too pathetic to look after himself."
The conversation however quickly returned to the matte at hand as the Absol began to speak of the situations. Mistakes? Consequences? Vanim was intrigued to say the least, after all he had not been around to witness the human pairs previous encounter, nor the events that were to follow. "Is that why Leo is so mopey all the time too?" he would come to ask.
Back to the humans, Akira began to explain that it was normal for him not to eat due to his illness which was understandable to a degree, but that wasn't all. Leo paused for a moment observing the raven haired man, before letting loose a sigh.
Leo was slightly taken aback by the Audino prodding at him with a spoon after his episode of pain. "H-Hey!" he whined looking to the pokemon, before Akira snapped at the teen once more. Glaring at the older male, the teen shuffled over and took a seat opposite him. "I can't keep sitting around and doing nothing." he spoke back bluntly before observing him once more now that he was closer.
Had the man been beaten? Something was off, and it wasn't just the illness.
"Look at me." the teen almost commanded to the older male. "What the hell happened to you? And don't try to say it's spring, because that's not it."

Now of course Akira would be more than aware of just what Leo was asking of him - for though he were acting such he were not that stupid - but taking into account that the younger male teen had in no way specified as to just what he were meaning on a technical basis the older raven haired man can to some degree feign ignorance and respond in the manner that were best suitable. And to Akira at the very least could claim all the above until such a time in which Leo would start prying for specific details of anything, as such this would be what would cause the raven haired man to push such thoguhts and concerns from his mind.
Now in the case of he Absol female though she knew not what the other strange canine had gone through and while in some manner she could indeed understand where the other canine were coming from at the same time Kaisa couldn't help but find herself disagreeing - even if just a tiny bit - with the other. < Weakness has a way of making people stronger, even if it does not seem like this is the case to begin with. So it is a mix of good and bad depending on the situation. > The Absol female would find herself arguing in something of a reasonable manner, it would be here that the white female would pause and listen to the other canine's next question before glancing to the younger man and sighing before nodding. < It's possible - but I may very well be wrong also and there may be another reason he is all mopey? >
Now while Leo would indeed glare at him and Akira in turn would find himself glaring back at the other in turn while allowing a faint snicker of amusement to escape him while watching what were going on before him beofre faintly grumbling as Orion would soon turn his attention to the raven haired man before pushing the older man further in the seat in order to be able to climb up to sit besides Akira who grumbled faintly at being pushed aside after having gone quite from speaking. "Can't expect your leg to heal properly if you don't rest it equally too - unless you are going to insist on making things worse for yourself. Makes yourself look like a silly child." Akira would unwittingly find himself snapping back as dual eyes would narrow slightly without meaning to.
All the while Akira would continue to avoid looking at the other younger male, well at least he would make efforts to up until the younger man actually demanded the older male to look at him - it would be from here that near vacant pink and green eyes would lift for a time and come to linger upon Leo while he began his querying.
"It's part of the reason actually . . . . as for what else 'happened to me', what does it matter? I had a few accidents is all, that's all I have to say." Akira responded vaguely yes but alternatively what did Leo care?

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 373 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | Leo rolled his eyes, knowing Akira was trying to feign ignorance at his words. Sure the teen realistically didn't know the man THAT well, but he knew he was stupid. Nonetheless the teen let it slide for the time being.
Vanim meanwhile observed Kaisa as she spoke of weakness and how it had ways of making people stronger. Sure he knew it could be true for pokemon, but could the same really be said for humans? The canine pokemon wasn't so sure.
"Well, what else could it be? There's clearly some problem between the two." the pup scoffed before rolling his eyes and settling himself down on to the floor, slightly irritated that his trainer was now too engrossed in whatever situation he had going on with the other to provide him with the food he could smell. "Typical" the pup would grumble.
Noting Akira's amused snicker the teen grumbled slightly as he took his seat at the behest of the Audino. Before long however, the Audino turned his attention back to Akira and Leo couldn't help but let slip a slight chuckle.
When it came back to the Leo's leg, he simply threw a glare back to the raven haired man. "I'm not a child, I just don't have the luxury of sitting around waiting for it to heal. Not like I've got Lars looking after me all the time..." the teen countered. It's true, Lars had been very insistent on helping him of late, but Leo needed his independence too.
The lack of eye contact from the dual coloured orbs that were Akira's began to annoy the teen slightly, but he wasn't about to lose his cool over such a silly thing, but he would of course insist on being looked at.
The raven haired man began to counter again, in an almost child like manner as if he was desperate to prove the teen wrong. Letting loose a sigh, Leo looked over his counter part for a moment.
"It matters because despite all that has happened recently, I do care about you. You look like you've been beaten..." the teen trailed off for a moment briefly shifting his gaze downward before returning to Akira.
"Stop being cagey and talk to me!" |

Now for a variety of reason Akira cared not what and how Leo currently thought of him - after all in truth he were indeed making near purposeful efforts to push the younger man into disliking or otherwise hating him, for this were the very least he would deserve under the circumstances right?
Now in the case of Kaisa, naturally she were indeed torn between sharing further information with this strange canine in order to explain the issues that were between the two humans but at the same time there were the consideration that this were not her place to do such a thing too which would make her a little conflicted. Thankfully however there would indeed be an opportunity to distract herself, for the Absol female would certainly get the impression that the other were somewhat hungry, this in itself would be more than enough to get the white being moving and eventually nudging a bowl filly with a variety of - untouched - goodies within in order to offer to the other besides her. < Help yourself, I am not that hungry. >
Now it would not take long before Akira went quiet once more, in fact it would be as soon as Leo would begin talking once more that would get Akira focusing upon the younger male as the faintest flicker of some form of emotion would pass over his features at the mention of some other guy - he assumed - were looking out for Leo before he would find himself countering in turn. "Wow you certainly bounce between people quickly, sure you can trust this one? How would you know if this one isn't some scumbag too? Got some sense though, you should listen to them even if you hate sitting around. Just trust me on that one - no point pushing too much." Well, what harm could it do to show he - however faintly - cared?
And when the raven haired man would have since focused his dual gaze upon the younger man that was Leo who in turn would begin making his last comment and speculations regarding him having being beaten, Akira would neither admit or deny such things rather seem to faintly roll his eyes and allow something of a sigh to escape him. "And maybe you should stop caring about some scumbag like me yes? It would be easier if you hated me. As for my condition - well I shall leave that up to your imagination and what is there to talk about really." The snappiness would have faded somewhat but it were still there, rather there were a hint of curiosity too as Akira would subconsciously find himself hugging his egg tighter that before.

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 455 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | As the conversations continued there would certainly be an air of tension growing between the two humans. Akira clearly doing his best to push Leo away, Leo being the stubborn so and so that he was, not having any of it and Vanim who was... Well, Vanim.
The pup would slowly lift his head as he heard the sounds of a bowl being nudged towards him, seeing Kaisa before it and her offer to help himself. The pup observed the female for a moment before sighing and slowly lifting himself up. "Well. Thanks, I guess..." the pup muttered before he sniffed the bowl for a moment and began to slowly eat part of the contents. "You're not so bad. You seem like you're not one to take take things lying down. I like that in a pokemon..." the pup would come to state, matter of factly. After all, if you didn't have strength what did you have right?
As Leo began to speak of his current predicament and the mention of Lars, the raven haired seemed to have a swift wave of emotion over him. Not something the teen was expecting, although it was good to see there was still something within him. Although it was short lived as the raven haired man began to speak.
The teen froze for a moment. "What did you just say?" the teen muttered, a dark tone lacing his voice. "I bounce between people?! That's rich given everything that's happened perhaps you wanna take a look at yourself!" the teen hissed back before, without thinking attempting to stand up to walk away.
Immediately his decision was followed by pain and regret as the surge of pain shot through his leg like a bolt of lightning and the teen yelped in pain before collapsing back in his seat.
The man really didn't know him that well. He should stop caring about him? The teen growled before banging his fists on the table. "Damn it Akira. You're not a scumbag. Maybe it would be easier if I hate you but Arceus knows I can't. Deep down I don't think you really want me to either so stop being an idiot!" the teen went into a rant as tears began to form in his eyes. His eyes shifting to the egg that the raven haired man had no began to hold on tighter to. "Besides. How is that little one going to fare if you're filled with so much self hatred!"
Vanim mean while hearing his trainer stand up to someone perked his head up. "Well. This is an interesting turn of events!" the pup spoke before letting loose a slight chuckle. "Who would've thought the little guy had it in him!"

Now of course the Absol female that were Kaiasa would simply and carefully look over her present company as he spoke and would come to thank her for her offering - of which she would offer a kind and polite nod in response - before seeming slightly amused by the other canine's surprisingly ap description of herself which would get her fainty chuckling for a time < No, I suppose I do not. Besides I need to be stern and the like in such situations, am sure you can understand that? > Kaisa would find herself thoughtfully and curiously countering after a time as she tilted her head to one side.
In Akira's case he would make great efforts to hide whatever feelings or emotions that would have surged through him at Leo's comment about this other individual - would it be safe to presume that the younger man were 'dating' this other person? Either way Akira should care so much right? - as such would briefly turn his gaze and face away for a time in order to force himself to put considerable effort into composing himself in some way. It would however be Leo's responses to his own comments that tugged Akira's focus back to where it were likely needed even if only fr now while the faintest rolling of his eyes before as calmly as possible answering.
"You heard what I said quite clearly, even if they may have been a poor choice of words. And for your information one 'mistake' in over five years of being in a committed relationship is surprising for me giving the other stupid choices I have made with other things - of which you can clearly see - so my comments still stand. And the fact that despite the trouble it has caused me since I made the effort to own up to my mistake and try resolve them even if that is going to take a lot of work." Akira found himself countering after a while.
"And stop being so damned naive Leo, you really can't be that stupid in not realising what I have done and the harm I have caused, so yes it's easier for you to hate me and I am indeed a scumbag. Personally I would rather hate than pity myself, the hate I deserve more and as for this little one - how I feel about myself will have no effect on how I look after and treat my own pokemon. Though issues are my own to deal with." Akira countered almost venomously as he were slightly unable to stop the slight look of anger forming on his features. It would also be about here and without the older raven haired man noticing such that there would be faint cracks starting to form upon the surface of the egg amidst twitches and would seem to be beginning to get deeper and larger as the conversation progressed which would cause the Audino sat next to Akira begin fussing slightly as pieces of egg began chipping away and - eventually - completely breaking to expose the small being within.
Now it would be about here that Kaisa would find herself getting fidgety before a soft growling sound would begin escaping her as it seemed she would go into 'work' mode before half getting to her feet and moving out from under the table to glare between the two humans just as one of the wait staff - in this case a Golduck returning to the kitchen area with some empty glasses and a half filled jug of water - were passing that the white female's eyes glowed faintly a moment or at least enough to cause the water jug to 'jump' and spill it's contents over the head of her human.
Needless to say the glare that would pass over Akira's face were genuine as the Absol blankly yet firmly stared back at him for the longest of times without so much as blinking or reacting. < You were going to burst a blood vessal, as your 'medical' service pokemon I can not allow that. Not fair to make Orion clean you up either. Now pay the nice pokemon for the trouble. > Kaisa spoke bluntly as she would soon nod towards the Golduck who were looking between the two humans in an almost worried manner.

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 504 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | Vanim eyed the absol for a moment as she began to speak to him once more. She had to be stern in such situations. Right, of course. Vanim was the older of his siblings, and back before they were all stolen from their home, he would be the one to keep them in check. An argument between them, nope he wouldn't have that. They were a unit and needed to act as such. The canine offered an affirmative nod and a slight grunt before returning back to the two arguing trainers. He had to admit, Leo's actions surprised him, as far as he was concerned, the teen was just a weakling with a broken leg, this was an entirely different side to him. Perhaps there was more to he eye here?
Turning back to the humans - tensions were rising between the two and Akira was now clearly fighting back just to try and get Leo to respond accordingly. "And I applaud you for that. It's good that you own up to your mistakes, but don't come at me at the mention of another's name! For your information, I haven't jumped straight to another man. I've had a few drinks with the guy and he's simply been helping me out given you know... the broken leg situation! It's been a bit difficult lately given who your husband is - I'm not exactly the most liked person in Shula either, but I'm getting on with it!" the teen spat back before turning away for a moment trying to compose himself.
"No Akira. Making a mistake doesn't make you a scumbag. In fact quite the opposite given your honesty in coming forward and fronting it. Sure perhaps you do deserve some anger directed at you from certain people. But you're not getting it from me, you can try all you like, call me stupid, or naive. Be a grumpy sod, that's fine but, I. Will. Not. Hate. You!" the teen ranted glaring back at the dual coloured eyes before him.
"And what I'm trying to say is pokemon pick up on their trainers feelings... If you're in this constant self loathing state, how is the little one going to - huh?" the teen paused as he noticed the egg beginning to crack. "Erm. About that." the teen spoke bluntly pointing softly towards the egg. Almost chuckling at the Audino now beginning to fuss again.
The teen was even more taken aback by the water that soon ended up over Akira's head, placing Leo in that terrible situation one finds themselves in where they cannot help but laugh, hard, at an awkward situation. He quickly stopped himself as Kaisa spoke, his gaze shifting between the two. "She's got a point you know..." the teen shrugged.
Vanim by this point had stepped closer to inspect the cracking egg, and himself couldn't help but snicker at the water trick. "Well that proves my point." he spoke to Kaisa. "You are certainly good people!" he nodded before extending a paw out. "Name's Vanim" |

"And who's stupid fault was it for the whole broken leg scenario? Certainly no one else's, not when you were aware of the dangerous situation. Also; I don't really care if you have - how did you put it? - 'jumped straight onto another guy'? You do you Leo and believe me, under current circumstances you go it light in regards to the whole people not liking you situation. So you can get over it right? So you can drop the attitude." Akira found himself snapping back in turn in a surprisingly bored way as he would roll his eyes slightly while looking away from Leo in turn as the younger man turned away to compose himself.
"Actually it does more so considering certain thigns I refuse to explain to you when you don't understand. So don't you go about correcting me about being the scumbag, ***hole or whatever else you or anyone else wants to call me. You are stupidly naive if you think being kind forever is a good thing, need to be nasty sometimes so just get it over with already it's easier." With that Akira would make it evident that he were no longer interested in the course of the conversation taking place, between that and the fact that it would have been about here that Kaisa would have dumped the water over him anyway the now drenched raven haired man's focus were directed elsewhere.
The combination of getting drenched then being spoken to by Kaiasa would get Akira's mildly annoyed focus being directed towards the Absol female who would in turn just stared right back at him, only then would Akira begin shooing the Audino out so he could get up and deal with the fretting Golduck - the egg in his arms clearly forgotten and the statement from Leo being outright ignored. From here would the taller man purposefully ignore his younger counterpart and the pokemon in general for the moment as he began softly speaking to the larger water duck while guiding it towards the service counter - no doubt to sort out the detail of making up for the trouble caused by what had happened.
< As for you small human, unless you want your other leg damaged stop antagonising him. Let him go on the whole self hating trip - Arceus knows he needs it - as it stands he is being the 'scumbag' more so that the focus is lessened towards you. Maybe you should consider that as to the reason he looks like he does and is behaving as he is. > Kaisa would state bluntly, she wasn't trying to scold the teen more make him see what were going on in this situation, it would be from here that the Absol female turned towards the newly introduced Vanim before offering him a small smile and nod in time. < A pleasure Vanim, my name is Kaisa. > would come her response.
Now it would in theory be when a certain degree of silence would come over them and the cafe as a while it would be here that a sudden loud chattering sound combined with rapidly tapping / running little feet combined with the familliar voice of Akira that would indicate some sort of commation - well; it would seem as if the previously cracking egg that the other man had not taken note of had finally allowed the small pokemon within to emerge and somehow get into the ground and charging around like a loud toddler.

| LEO XANDER LOCKWARD | APP || PC || PLOTTER | WORDS: 615 || TAG: Akira "Raine" Kaitos | If looks could kill following Akira's next outburst, he certainly would have been in for a very bad day. Leo could feel his breathing getting more and more shallow as his temperature rose. "Well excuse me, for being caught in the cross fire of trying to save others. If I was going to blame anyone it would be those DC bastards that caused that destruction. You however have a funny way of showing you don't care given your abhorent behaviour once it was mention. We've all got it rough, you included and if you don't like the attitude, perhaps you should practice what you preach and cut your own attitude!" the teen yelled, the anger flowing through him causing his face to redden in colour.
"You say I don't understand things, you're probably right, because you're being so Arceus damned cagey about everything when there are people that still care about you. Of course I'm not stupid enough to not realise being nice all the time gets people nowhere. But there's a time and a place for everything. You may well hate yourself for what you did, hell I don't feel great about it either. You want me to be nasty, fine. What you did was disgusting and you absolutely should feel terrible about it. But stop being such a whiney little brat about it, it's happened. You can't take it back, so find a way forward before you end up in an even worse state than you already are!" the teen finally stopped to take a breath, almost panting at the end of his rant.
As the raven haired man stood up to attend to the Golduck, Leo's attention was taken by Kaisa who had begun giving her usual advice on matters. Leo shook his head at her words. "He doesn't need to protect me. I know why he is doing it, but he needs to take some care of himself. Pushing me away won't make things any better for anyone." the teen spoke before shifting his gaze away. "Besides, I had a role in this too, so I need to face the consequences which I am prepared to do. He needs to see that he can't always protect everyone."
Vanim meanwhile, stood by Kaisa offered a slight nod as the pokemon returned his introduction, before turning his attention to Leo. "Look human. I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and everything, but maybe you need to give it a rest?" the canine pokemon spoke to his trainer. There was a first for everything it seemed, Leo receiving a compliment from the pup? The teen sighed before letting loose a slight groan. "Fine." the response followed by the trainer sitting there and clearly sulking for a moment while he tried to calm himself down.
Before long, Leo could hear a slight commotion coming from Akira's direction before his eyes caught sight of a small pokemon charging around the cafe. "Oh no." the teen moved to stand and begin hopping after the speedy little pokemon in attempts to grab him. "Vanim, don't just sit there help me get him!" he yelled across the room, the pup looking up for a moment, pausing to consider his options before yawning. "Sure why not, I've had something to eat now." the pup mused before slowly standing himself up and wandering across to the opposite end of the room in an attempt to box the little one in.
"Come on little guy. You shouldn't be running around here, you could get hurt!" Leo spoke softly, lowering himself as much as physically possible in his condition and reaching his arms out in attempt to call the pokemon over.

'I want you to hold on because you are the reason I keep livingTo be apart from you would be more painful than deathSo stay with me as you know I'd come for you wherever you will go even if to the ends of the earthFor you are more precious to me than life itself' Akira 'Raine' KaitosMusic: N/A | |Location: Vester City || Outfit: usual outfit plus red and white jacket OOC Info:notes: roll on egg hatching and arguments || "Akira Speech" || Leo Lockward
Now in the case of Akira for when Leo would begin to go into his understandable rant towards the older raven haired male, all that the 'target' of the angry rant would come to do would be to simply remain quiet before firstly rolling his eyes in an almost dismissive manner and would simply stay quiet this time and allow the younger male that was Leo to wear himself out through what it was that he wished to say. After all - what were indeed the point of Akira even trying to argue anymore? More so taking into consideration that he were more than aware that Leo had made many good points and in turn even if the dual eyed man would try argue his point - whatever that may be - there were jsut as much of a chance that the other male would pick holes in it and proceed into some other rant about that.
And besides; in some weird way Akira would feel strangely satisifed in the fact that he had achieved one thing - that being Leo being angry with him and hating him, yay for weird achievements right? "Says the brat who is throwing a tantrum and raising his voice when he doesn't need to - what a way to embarress yourself. I'm not saying I don't in some way agree with you; but I was at least making an effort to have an adult conversation and not yell at you, but it's fine you do you." Akira would seem to deflate drastically while he responded in the moments before and after he had left the table to attend to what he would need to do.
Now when the raven haired man had left and in turn Kaisa would speak towards Leo, she would come to sit down and keep her attention upon him after she finished speaking and would listen to to what the young man would have to say - all of which she could understand why he would say such but also she were aware that he knew not the other man as well as she did even if it were not by a considerable amount but it were enough. < Can I point out that this is only the what? Second proper interaction between you both? Not enough to claim you know what he is like as a person, to feel the need to protect others is just a part of who he is even if at the risk of himself - this is what I have come to learn through observations and from those on his team who have known him much longer than myself especially his original comapnion who came from his homeland to Shula with him. . . . So yes a role in this you had but you will not change who he is no matter what you say or do. > Would the Absol female argue reasonanly and calmly with a hint of firmness lacing her words as an indication that she would not entertain this argument further.
Meanwhile the odd little hatchling would continue darting about in a surprisingly speedy manner for one who had only recently emerged from it's egg and were attempting to roar - though it were to sound more like gurgled cries - while darting about, even if the small pokemon would stop running periodically to allow the gurgled roars to escape it. It would be on one of these occasions that the small pokemon's attention would momentarily move between Vanim and Leo as the pair either began circling towards the youngster or otherwise addressed it, a momentary consideration of going over to the younger human seemed to go through the youngsters mind before deciding against such. The youngster would have been nearly able to dash off again to stay out of reach and try aim for the unsuspecting younger man's legs with questionable intent before - thankfully - Akira would have managed to wrap hands around the small pokemon and begin to lift the slightly struggling and chattering youngster upon so the little one were at eye level with him.
A deep intake of breath one moment before attempting a 'roar' in order to intimidate the older human man would be enough to cause Akira's eyebrows to raise in an amused manner before leaning in a little nearer and actually managing something of a reasonably convincing and somewhat soft yet stern almost draconian growl which would get the youngster to freeze and seem to frown in a puzzled manner. "Yep . . . . that's how you are meant to do it, your not the first to try that little one. Gonna stop trying to run around and 'challenge' everyone now?" A little pop sound would enunciate the first word to escape Akira's lips before he spoke before a little huff escape the babe, little babbled sounds would proceed to escape the small being in turn.
