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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Reiner smoothly ignores Taylor's comment about him being good looking.  Or, well, seems to, at any rate, as far as Taylor would be able to tell.  Fortunately for the women, Reiner's up for a topic change as well.

"Weavile's doing quite fine, actually, same as always.  Things have unfortunately been a little rough between us recently, but they're still relatively normal, all things considered.  He's a strong anchor when things haven't been going as planned.  Usually.  You can probably imagine what his initial reaction was when we first walked into this room, though."  That second to last part is probably not how Taylor would have described Sneasel four years ago, to be honest..."


-------------

As soon as Kyubi leaves, Weavile pops out of his pokeball.  He probably takes one look at Taylor, is likely initially somewhat surprised because of that incredibly gnarly and painful looking scar, then regains his composure and coolly gives her a single, casual wave of one of his hands while leaning up against the couch Reiner's sitting in.


He also kinda gives Reiner a sideways, narrow eyed look for his earlier comments before returning his gaze to Taylor.  He's also quite curious about what Taylor's been up to...he leaves the talking to Reiner for the time being, though.

"...well, in general, I'd like to know what you've been doing for the past four years.  Until earlier this week, I thought you were dead.  Or captured.  Or something.  And judging by that pretty little scar you're now sporting, I'd say I wasn't too far off the mark."  He doesn't say what other possibilities he considered over the last four years, but he doesn't exactly have to.

...a moment of silence as he pauses.

"...first question before that, though, and probably the most important one: did you find Lucy?  You know Kingdra's been incredibly torn up and angry about that for the past four years, right?  I can still only barely keep her temper in check sometimes, and I'm lucky she's not yet spontaneously learned Outrage because of that, to be blunt once more."

Taylor recovered quickly (No thank in small part to you going along with her request), coughing into her fist and doing her best to nonchalantly pretend her slip up never occurred. No accidental flirting happened with this thief, nope!

She did raise an eyebrow as you described your cat burglar , looking simultaneously impressed and surprised.

"Wait, our little burglar Evolved? Well, paint me pink and call me a Fairy type! *Throws her hands out* Congrats! I'll have to nick some catnip for him later for him to celebrate some more with, hehe! How'd you manage that, though? Razor Claws aren't exactly easy to find in Tohjo, on the market or in someone's pocket."

"Also.....more than a bit curious about you guys relationship, as it sound to me its......shaky, to put it plainly. Heh, and yeah, I take it he was much more surprised to see than you were."

The moment Weavile popped out and introduce himself to his old friend, Taylor uncharacteristically squeed, looking at the sly feline with unchecked and unfettered enthusiasm with hands pressed together.

"Oooooh Weavile buddy, you look soooo cool now! Comere, you!"

*Whoosh Whoosh*

Almost quick as lightning, your old partner blinked over to Weavile, pinned them in a hug, then was back on the couch with him in her lap, as she fawned and petted her old friend.

"Who's a big bad thief now? You are, Weavile! I'm so happy for you, buddy!! Tell me, you steal anything good lately? I know you have, 'cause you have the stickiest finger ever!"

Huh.....that was fast....and unexpected. Looks like Taylor really missed your mutual fluffy friend, eh? ( I'll leave Weavile's to you, @Dragonstrike )

Of course, such festiveness was swiftly diminished when you unceasingly moved on to the next topic, earning you another *Sigh* as she looked at you somewhat sullenly.

".....You thought I was dead, or got caught by those old screwballs? Oh ye of little faith, Reiner.....*Beat, then Sighs, her frown deepens as she glanced down*......though I can hardly blame you for that. Kinda hard not to form opinions, when you haven't heard a peep from me until.....now, huh?"

Morose silence filled the gap in conversation, until she mustered up the will to continue speaking, waving herself off with a halfhearted scoff.

".....Enough of that, though. I'd thought you'd be railing on me to tell you where the 'ell I've been, and all that, but nope, you ask about my dear Lucy first. *Smiles a bit* ....Glad to see you still care about them, after all this time. Anyhow, to answer your question....."

She drawled the last part out neutrally, looking at you calmly as can be....

....before her smile broke out into a savage, wide, and toothy grin, and she held out one of her hands, an unmistakable Pokeball resting in the center of her palm.

"We're back together, Reiner. Took about a year to find her, then another of planning and preparation to actually rescue her, but by those blasted Dragon Gods I did. And I made damn sure to give the Elders and her captors a good, long, and thoroughly humiliating fucking over in the process for all the trouble they caused all of us, hehehehe....."
