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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Judging by the knowing smirk she was shooting you in between chuckles, she perfectly understood the point being made, and it brought no end of amusement to the thief. Or should I say thieves, as Weavile is still snicking/smirking along with her, occasionally waggling his eyebrows suggestively. The little scamp!

Taylor raised an eyebrow at your banal declaration, before shaking their head and shrugging her shoulders.

"Man, and I thought I was chill, but look at you, cool and calm like a Frosslass.... Don't know about you, but hearing a Pokemon talking like us will always be a novelty for me. I mean, come on, talking Pokemon! That's almost as awesome as Dragons, partner!"

At your latest question your old partner goes silent and unreadable as she mulls it over, before she let closed her eyes and heaved out a *Sigh*, slumping backwards into the couch and looking/feeling.....overwhelmed and more guilty/ashamed

"Suffice to say, I know your girl is more than a little foxy for you. Said you used some kind of......ritual to bring her back to life like.....that on accident, using the lifeforce of her old......master with their permission.  Told me everything she knew and picked up about you since you two......meet too. *Shrugs* Well....not everything. She avoided talking about most of the pals or Pokemon you made and caught this week, being rather vague and double speaky about them except for 'The Vampire' - sure warned me plenty about them, and I'm damn glad she did - , and flat out stonewalled me about what you were up to yesterday. Said I had to ask you about that, as it was 'not her place to disclose any of these topics in great detail.' "

In other words: 'Kyubi spilled the beans on everything she knew/was involved in, but kept everyone's/your Pokemon's/Mew's identity and their personal details except for your's and Riza's a secret, said nothing about the entirety of Friday, and distorted the truth surrounding her resurrection.' It also sounds like she was generally vague and nondescript even about the stuff she told, letting Taylor draw her own conclusions and leaving you to fully fill her in later if you choose, except for......well, most stuff about herself and.......

"Wasn't really going to bring just how much I knew about ya, or her........foxiness and relationship with you, but *Shrugs* ....well, you asked. In case you wondering, I'm........still a bit....well, a lot wierded out  by all that *Waves a hand* about your girl, but.....shit happens, and you.....uh......handled it the best you could. Bah......it's freaky, but Kyubi seems like a....nice enough chick despite it all. Oh, and she mentioned she didn't mind if I was to......become your girl too, since it was.....uh.......'Reiner's place to decide which and how many women will be his mates, and whom he mates with.' *Glances of to the side, looking supremely Skittish*.........Yeeeah......I guess......sharing is......caring for her....?"

........Since this topic has reached MAXIMUM DISCOMFORT, might it best to transition after from this scene? Or at least this portion of it?

Predictably, Taylor doesn't say anything in response to your own speculations save for her to keep smiling, but she does relax when you move away from the topic of her family, though only enough for her to grow surprised and skeptical of you claims to fix her, ahem, damaged goods, before she shakes her head.

"......Hm......Think I'll pass on that offer, partner. Not 'cause I don't think it won't help, as I know you wouldn't be offering a wonder treatment option for my missing boob if you thought it be too dangerous, but because......*Shrugs*  I'm sorta fine with it? Been going about like this for so long that getting that being half and half feels natural, so getting any of my old boob back would probably throw me off too much like when I first lost it, and I really don't want to go through that shindig again. Took me a year to fully get used to it last time, so I rather it remain the last time if its all the same to you, Reiner. 'Sides.......one of my boobs more than plenty for the two of of, eh?"

Your awkward embarrassment  shall be eternal, and so will her amusement. Rejoice.

"...it's less of a novelty if you're around them more often, to be honest."

Ah, good.  Kyubi kept the important details Reiner will have to explain himself secret.  Great (and I mean that unironically).  "...yeah, uh...Ms. Sterling's perceptions on some things weird me out a little too, but she is a good person at heart...*ahem*...anyways, moving on...yeah, that 'Vampire'...the good news is she's terrified of me, and with good reason, so I doubt we'll see any trouble from her...if we ever encounter her again, that is.  Not much more needs to be said about that, really.  Can tell you the full story later, but she hopefully won't be much of a concern at this point."  Well, only most of the full story, in all likelihood...

...nor do any of the previous topics need to be further elaborated on for that matter...moving on!

-----------

"...well, fair enough, I suppose.  Just...don't be surprised when I bring up a related topic later.  This particular item has...other useful applications, to be brief...even as strange as they are...*ahem*..."

That probably piques Taylor's interest/curiosity/'what the heck?' instincts a little, but given that Reiner should be making it clear that he'll explain later, she will probably just leave the topic well enough alone for the time being.

...and he's clearly trying to talk about other topics, so...

...in any case...time for that reunion with Lucy!  (After Arial's stuff and Taylor's glass o' water, of course, as stated previously.  Besides, I'm sure we're all ready to move on to other topics at this point.  There'll be plenty more time for stories later.)
