[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Pyroar licks Ventus' hand. His tongue is extremely rough, and it kinda hurts, but it doesn't draw blood.

Then it leans on Ventus until he is sitting on the ground, whereupon the big Pokemon curls up into his lap. Ventus receives the impression that the cat Pokemon needs some assurance that he won't be abandoned by humans.

The researcher actually lets out a bemused chuckle at the forceful affections he was receiving from the big friendly puddy cat, both to express his genuine happiness for such gestures and to let him know he was perfectly fine with it. "Ha ha ha! Some might find your affections a bit rough for their taste, but I don't mind them at all! I've worked and played with Rough Skin Gibles species and Druggedions before, so you don't restrain yourself on my behalf! I'll be here for you so long as you want me, Pyroar, and the same can be said of the staff here at the Shelter, so please don't worry your about being left wanting. I'll even spend the whole day with you if you desire, so let's enjoy each other's company, shall we?" Ventus said, before he began gently brush his both of his hands through the fire lion's mane/body, paying special attention to the spots that ellict the most positive reactions.

Director North comes in and chuckles at your predicament. He leaves and returns with a brush. "Pyroar prefers to be brushed anywhere that's not near his neck, belly, or tail. The outer parts of his mane are OK. He's actually due for a trim soon because long hair makes him itchy. This is a great way to spend your first day back - should be pretty relaxing unless you upset him!"
