"We don't live off rumors." Yoru muttered. "But no one walks out
alive. Even if monsters don't live there, something clearly
does." She rolled her eyes. "I can pay and pack these as leftovers.
Then we can head to my house." She turned back to the pokemon under
her direction.
One of the Leafeons in the hospital gave Furuguchi directions to
the Buffet the group was eating at, telling her to go there.
Yoru did as she had said, packaging her food, and Yami giving them
a discount, as usual. Yoru began waved her sister goodbye and got
ready to head off to her own house. Her ears were killing her, and
she longed for the quiet of her private facility
Fen picks up Midnights sobs as Yoru leads them to her house, one of
the many advantages of having sharp, rockruff ears. "Hey Yoru, mind
if I explore the town a bit?" He asks. "Not going into the woods, I
promise," He tells her truthfully. "Besides, you probably want the
quiet. I'll find my way back."
Yoru continue's to walk, mouth frozen open as she thought over her
words. "I...guess i can't stop you. My house is the black one with
the red mailbox down this street." She pointed in front of her.
"Just try to be there by 5:00, criminals love mugging newcomers."
She looked over at Noba. "Unless you wanted to explore to, in that
case i could go with you."
“I don’t mind...perhaps I could help prepare the rooms, until Fen
gets back...” he yawned in response. He’d have time for a wander
later. He just wanted to make sure he had a place to call home
first while they were here
Fen nods. "Thanks, I'll be careful." Inside he was thinking:
Black house with a red mailbox? Haha, matches zorua fur. Fen
padded off, taking a detour around town, and genuinely admiring the
architecture. The whole place had a cozy feel, and he didn't know
if it was intentional or pure coincidence, but the town was layed
out in a way that was neat and cozy, but still allowed for lots of
room, and easy access to important places, like shops and the
restaurant. Fen took the time to get used to being around pokemon,
even giving a friendly wag of his tail to those who wagged at
him.
Then, Fen looped back around, towards the last place he'd seen
Midnight the Absol from earlier. If Yoru was right (which Fen
believed), Midnight had been lying, but even so, Yoru seemed a bit
harsh, and Fen felt pretty bad for her. He approached her calmly
and non threateningly, but without signs on happiness. "Hey, you're
mignight, right?" He asked in a plain tone. "Were you telling the
truth about living in the woods?" He wanted her to answer
truthfully, it might help to talk to her after.
"Alright then, follow me." Yoru left Fen alone and began leading to
way to her home, as she said, it was a black house with a red
mailbox. The door was a rather small wooden one, where larger
pokemon would have to duck or crawl to get in. Luckily, Noba and
Fen would be small enough to fit through the door, a pokemon like
growlithe probably being the max size it could take.
Noba shuffled his way into the house. A thought then struck him as
he entered, but his face showed no indication that it had. He just
continued inqards and kept that thought to himself, it was probably
for the best.
The house looked fairly normal, apart from its huge size, with an
upstairs compartment that had doors leading to at least 8 different
guest rooms, and 4 bathrooms between them, with designated blue
doors. The downstairs had Yoru's own room, as well as a room for
her sister when she came to visit, as well as a living room with a
TV and a bathroom between the Zorua's bedrooms. There was also a
door to the yard, and if one looked out the window they could see a
pool. Yoru glanced back at Noba. "Make yourself at home."
Fen lifts an eyebrow (or, as close as he can come do doing that as
a dog pokemon). "Really?" He tilts is head and tail to one side
skeptically. He doubts the absol is telling the truth, "What do you
mean partially?"
The leafeon notice the new pokemon wake up. The head nurse taps on
each of their shoulders and points to the buffet. "If you don't
find Yoru there, ask to talk to Yami, she'll point you where you
need to go."
Nea nods. She twitches her small tail and heads over. She looks
around. "What is this place?" she wonders. Her eyes flicker. When
she gets there, she waits.
His smile has a grip on me <3
