[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Something about this dark ethereal Riolu and their offensive reaction towards him strikes a nerve within Kee, a SENSTIVE one, it's itching him to counterstrike. And so he does!~ "What's wrong with ya black dogo, YA WANT SOMETHIN' ? Well, COME AT ME if ya DARE, come at me if ya want to fight, I DARE YA!!!" he yells at them as he bristles his fur more, but a moment later he slumps back into a black and white furball. "Ughhhhh, ya know what, just leave me alone... These HEADACHES, can't properly fight now, don't want to, wake me up again when September ends, will ya?"

(...)He look intensefully those too and finally spoke. "Kogeki." He take away his Kunai and put in his back again, perfect safe and wrap up in his scarf. "...Kogeki Kurayami." Said the Delta Riolu, crossing his arms and looking both the Zigzagoon and Silver hair Ralts. (...)

This name rings some bells within Kee's foggy mind, and he musters them with curiosity. "Oh, YA're Kogeki...? Ah, this name...." He shakes himself, "...this name's somewhat familiar. Why, I dunno. But it DOES." So many familiar things and Kee hasn't quite an idea why they're familiar, how odd. Eh, must have to do with those headache and why he's down this cave, has it...?????

(...) She backs away from Kogeki in particular almost instinctually, her breathing heavier and more rapid.  She presses herself up against the wall to try and keep as much distance between the two of them as possible.
Kogeki's question breaks her out of that nervous silence as she nervously stares at the strange Riolu.
"...K-Karen..."
She blinks a few times as she says her own name.  Something about those names...it sounds familiar to her for some reason...
"...do w-we...know each o-other from somewhere...?  Why...why can I u-understand what you're saying...?"

Oh THIS name rings some more bells, their ringing echoes back within Kee's mind in a different way. "Karen....? Wait, this means.... Ya're THE Karen, aren't ya...?" He doesn't quite understand why, but all suddenly Kee feels warmth arising within, a pleasant warmth. "I likewise r'member yar name from somewhere....~" He gives her a small smile, then shakes his head. "'nfortunately, ain't not quite sure from WHERE, but what I'm sure of is that it's nice t'see ya again." <3


As she backs off from Kogeki, Kee takes another leap of faith and instantly jumps between themselves, despite his headache avenges this sudden movement by intesifying painfully, he keeps a steadfast and protective stance in front of Karen as he snaaaaaarls at Kogeki, familiar or not. "If ya DARE to hurt a single silvery hair of the lady, I'll make ya regret it, LEAVE.HER.ALONE."

In a less agressive tone Kee adds "Look, we've got more important things to conc'ntrate on, like why we're down this cave, ya see? So PLEASE SAVE ANY AGGRESSION FOR FOES 'N ENEMIES, we're in this TOGETHER. Thanks."

(...)Her little celebration of sorts was short lived, for soon the rousing and activities of the other Pokemon around her snapped her out of it, causing the wee lil' demon to look around at everyone with eager inquisitiveness, as if deciding who she wanted to first greet. That was soon decided when the furry multi-colored.....Zizagoon, she believes, gruffy introduced themselves first, her head snapping to them like a Magnetmite to a load of iron ore, before she decide to skip right on over to them and *Yank!* hoisted them up with surprising Strength after they first talk to the Fairy Ralts, giving them, Kee, a beaming smile.

"Hello, and greetings Kee the Zizagoon! My name is Pyra the Devimp, that is who and what I am, yes! So very good to meet you, furry little man! Together, together, we shall explore this land, beat the Darkness, and become true friends, yes yes yes!"

The playful fiend said all this straight to their face as she held him up and near her, and a flash of curiosity passed over her face before she spontaneously decided to bend forward and lightly and gently nibble on one of the coon's little ears.
"Hmm....yes....fuzzy and soft, like fine terry cloth. Feel nice and interesting, yes yes...." (...)

When THIS 'Mon snaps their head at him like that, Kee returns their gaze with a cautious and sceptical one himself, but there's also some natural curiosity sparking up within him. That, and some faint strange and entirerly instinctive kinship due to them beaing a fellow Dark Type. This fella is the only one down this cave with him and the other that does ring NO bells within his mind, but he doesn't sense and hostility from them. Lucky.

Before he was yet pondering what to do, he was pulled outta his neat and comfy guitarbag and hoisted up, causing him to squirm and snarl and hiss sharply. "Yeahyeah, hi 'n greetings 't ya too, personal space, PERSONAL SPACE PLEASE, can ya also PLEASE let me down 'gain? Whether we'll b'come... *cough* 'true friends' like ya wish, we'll see, BUT ya can help this process if ya PLEASE set me down again, thanks." It's barely visible, but Kee's faintly blushing(!) and looks away from Pyra, not quite knowing how to react about a LADY coming so close to him.

"And PLEASE don't nibble on ANY part of me like that, it huuuuuurts." *more blushing(!!!)* But he takes this opportunity to sniff at her. "Ya smell.... burnt. Unfamiliar. Tangy 'n passionate."

Kee's hostility towards the scarred warrior Kogekik would cause no small amount of confusion and concern for the lil' demon, a cute little frown forming as they wrung her hands together at the sight and sound of their hissing and spatting. Oh no, oh dear, why was the furry little coon fighting with the worn little doggo? Were they not all allies, all aligned against the Darkness and its dark threat....?

Eventually when it appeared that her fellow Dark lurker would not be ceasing his aggressive postering, she'd pick them up again, this time by the scruff of their neck, and give them a small but potent frown and a worried glare that was somehow a quite Intimidating combination.

"No no, stop, cease and desist. We're all allies, partners, yes, so no fighting each other, but each other fighter together, against the Darkness and our foes. So again, stop, please stop, and behave yourself, please..."

That will be then, though. Now, while the brimstone imp was still lifting/embracing the black 'n white crittercoon, she was happy as she could be, seemingly unphased by the noises and motions they were making. When they requested to be let down, she gave them a slightly curious look before saying "Okay, if that is what you wish!" and suddenly releasing them, sending them to the stone floor with a *Plomp!*  She then bends down, picks up their Bag (that is what it is, yes?) and puts it on them neatly as she could, giving the coon another delighted smile.

"Yes, yes, now you are snug as a Bug in the bushes of the woods again! Has this made us closer to friendship, wee Ziggy Kee? Anything I else I can do, to further the between us too?"

At their somewhat flustered comment, she could only tilt her head inquisitively, not quite getting what was so wrong with her inspection, but none the less she nods to their request. If her taste and texture test wounded the furry little critter, she would not do it again! His remark on her smell earns him another smile, a pat on his head, and finally a little spinning dance and jazz hands.

"Indeed? Then all is as it should be! For I am a Devimp, being of Fire and Darkness, of Passion and Whim! My nature is fell and whimsical, burning and bright, but you need not fear me, Kee and everyone else! I am you ally, and hopefully future friend, to help you all against the Darkness, yes!"

It would also be at this point Pyra would notice Kogeki the Rilou, and promptly bounced over to pick them up too in jubulant greeting, completely fearless of their Type Advantage against her and their hidden weapon!

"Hello and hi, warrior of Darkless black Kogeki! My name is Pyra, loyal demon and trusted confidant to you, and all here too! A pleasure to meet you it is, yes, and may we someday be friends!"
