[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Your next question manages to get Kyubi to release you from her tight embrace, her expression turning from one of celebratory happiness to one more......troubled. Saddened and ashamed, even, as she pulled away, arms now crossed across her chest as she hugged herself and looked away from you as she responded.

"........You don't remember Master.....? .............You came up here to see how I was doing, but you......you ended up collapsing on the bed and just......just laying there. I'd....I'd tried to wake you up, make you get better Master for...for awhile.....but you....you didn't react to anything I did, so I tucked you in bed and tried to go get down Mr. Mime for....for help. But.....but as I tried to go, you jumped up and hugged me, and....and begged me not....not to leave you like.....like Clair and Taylor did. So....I stayed, and......and held you while you.......slept, and tried to take care of you like.....this. We've been together like this for.....an hour (her voice sounds questioning at this point), until you....you woke up now. I'm....I'm just so glad that it worked, because i-if it d-didn't.......*Whimpers* I don't know what I do without your, Master........"

At that point, she lets out a pitful whine as her ears canted downward, looking utterly miserable at THAT thought.

You detect nothing is amiss or being left out with her explaination, though you do get the sense that recounting the story discomforted her and made her feel ashamed.

Reiner's Confusion Insight 3 Roll: (5) Based on what she described, it sounded like you suffered from some sort of mental breakdown that was responsible for your current state. Just a bit more info......
Reiner's Memory Insight 5    Roll: (3): Nope, not ringing anymore bells, but you implicitly trust she's telling you the truth.

As for you next comment....

Confusion Roll!: (2) Hehehe.....I mean, oh noes!

Instead of what you wanted to say, what came out was the following line: "Is something on fire, or are you just smoking hot Kyubi?"

This caused her to snap out of her post story funk and stare at you with a stunned expression......before meekly looking away with timid but affectionate as she answere, her long luxurious tails waggling show just how pleased she was with your, ahem, question.

"......I may have broken a chair or two and set it on fire after you passed out, M-Master. C-Completely on accident, though!"

Was she blushing?

....Yes, yes she was. The fact you could see it through her fur....wow.

Guess Petrel was right about you being a real lady killer, eh?

...wait, what did Kyubi just say?

...what did HE just say?!

Reiner ends up blushing too.

He's red.  REALLY red.

In fact, he's also FLINCHED (yes, in all caps) due to hearing he mentioned Taylor and from...what he just said.

Something's not right here, that's for sure...he NEVER talks about Taylor...it's his most well kept secret, one of the only ones Petrel doesn't know...and he apparently just...

...

Yup, definitely FLINCHED.
