[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Hmm... Alright and very well then. Bernhard lets their gaze rest on that riled up man for a bit, how he tries his hardest to not break down in front of them, before it very quickly becomes too much for them to witness and watch: They look away to the side, letting out a light sigh, their stoic facade crumbling for short to display a sort of...compassionate expression. Blink once, blink twice, and it's gone again however. "...Do let me and Nirix see your beloved daughter then. Just briefly so should suffice... Perhaps and mayhaps my exemplar of the Galarian unicorn can be enticed to gift a potion of their precious horn to aid a pure and virgin maiden in despair? Maybe, maybe not, but least we can do is TRY..."

Then, Bernhard musters that man again, this time with a very subtle - however honest(!) and genuine(!!) - smile(!!!), perhaps in a way to comfort him, to give him a faint glimmer of hope. "It's worth a shot as one might say, now wouldn't you agree? You are indeed lucky for having crossed my path, and I do acknowledge your courage to ask a capable Magus like me for help. Now, let us be off then and see what we can do, lead the way if you may - if you could please let go of my hand, that'd be also appreciated."

Oh, about that store-wide announcement - Yes Bernhard did pick that up, but he chooses not to be bothered with it, for he is busy and occupied enough already. He prefers not to get caught in any troubles if he can avoid it, if whatever's up is that important or affects him in any way, he's certain that he'll find out what's wrong early enough.

The man isn't so perceptive to notice your brief faltering, not to mention being thoroughly distracted by his own anxiousness and the frankly soul crushing problem he's been Enduring. He lights up like a energetic and inspired Zephy, and before you know it you find yourself being hugged by him! Oh by the Lords of Magic no! Personal space, personal space!

"Thank you thank you thank you! Please, please, follow me! I won't take up too much of your time and I won't impose anymore, I promise! Oh Ho-oh and Lugia, may your Grace be with us all...!"

Be aware that this will Count as your 2nd Encounter for the Day; however, it will not stop any planned scenes you have with your Pokemon before or during it. Zephy should be roused by the start of the 2nd Encounter regardless; I'll either let you know, or you can initiate things yourself. If the later and you accept doing this Encounter right now, you'll find yourself in the man's house somewhere in the Civilian Sector, sitting in the living room as he quickly goes to prepare tea and snacks for you and let you prepare as necessary before seeing his daughter. More details about the place and the Encounter itself will come in the following posts!
