"Mhm, I can understand where you're coming from. Oppertunies are... Limited where I'm from. That's why I left." No it wasn't. Not quite at least. There were... Several more factors that he wasn't about to explain. "Just... Be careful, I suppose," he finally said. "There's breaking free of norms...

Nip tilted his head. "You and Owen sure are strange charmander. First Owen trades his fire for grass in the fight, and now you're doing... something with all these roots? I've never heard of charmander with such affinities for plants and the earth."

"Thank you, but I'll pass," he said to Cynthian. "I don't really eat those except for healing. They don't exactly... Agree with my stomach." To punctuate his words, he placed a paw over his gut. His attention shifted to Mellow. "Mmm, I suppose I can understand that. I'm not a fan of staying...

Nip wasn't entirely sure how he should respond. So he just said, "uhhhh, okay," before slipping past Mellow. Inside the root structure was much warmer, perhaps uncomfortably so. He glanced around in search of a place to sit before deciding to just stand around near the edge.

He blinked, disarmed by her surprising, candid response. "You. Live here?" Well, he did have to admit that it looked cozy inside, from what he could see over her shoulder. But could a little charmander like her really live out in the woods like this? Looking over her shoulder, he caught sight...

The root moved the root moved holy Yveltal above the root moved was this some sort of monstrous Trevenant was he— Oh. No. It was just Mellow. "I like it out here" He was tempted to joke that he practically lived here, but held his tongue. "A better question is. Why are you in there?"

Being back in the pine forest was nice. Familiar. Relaxing, even. A far cry from the chaos of Destiny Village. Time and time again, Nip kept returning to the tall trees and scent of frozen earth, the snow crunching underpaw as he waked through the underbrush. The familiarity of the woods was...

Review replies coming later tonight if I don't forget like I did last time but thanks as always! Chapter 15: A Shattered Sense of Normalcy *** “We have come to an agreement, it seems.” Jhorlo’s voice rang clear as he stood in front of the small crowd, Jaques and Lotte sitting at attention...

Nip shot Cynthian a brief, incredulous look. Was he trying to provoke Maple? He could only hope that wasn't the case. Still, there was something that bothered him about Maple's explanation. "Just to be clear, you have no clue who attacked you? How long ago was this?"

Wait no Starr why would you- Nip had no time to try and soften her words with platitudes. Fortunately, Maple kept true to her word. They were left alone. For now. "I feel like I should be surprised," Nip said. "But somehow... I'm not."

Even if Nip still had his reservations with Diyem, he had to admit that he had a point. A little time to spin a story went a long way, and if he could convince pokemon he'd never met that he was on a religious journey, he didn't want to know what Maple could come up with if she had a whole day...

"I have no clue what 'Rocket' means, but I'll take your word for it." Nip turned his head to look back at the machine. "We still don't know how this got here, though. Stuff from your world. Or a world like yours, at least."Nip grumbled, shaking his head. "And with the uh... what was it called, a...

"We don't have anything like that either," Nip added before hesitating. "...as far as I'm aware of. There is a lot of world history that was... lost, or otherwise scattered."

"It definitely looks like writing," Nip agreed. "It reminds me a bit of the written language my kin use for records territory markings. But... these are more complex shapes. I can't read it myself. You'll have to explain. Is it something... particularly bad?"

Nip noticed a subtle shift in the deino's body language, but before he had a chance to work out what it meant, Starr arrived. And then Maple emerged from inside, which meant that any questions would have to wait. Along with the others, he followed her deeper into the building. "I'm afraid I may...

Lucky for Nip, the location in question wasn't hard to find. If he thought the other parts of Destiny Village felt unnatural, the perfect cube stuck out out like a sore paw. Two pokemon from the team — a deino that he barely knew and the roselia that he knew only better, were waiting outside...

"I could be wrong, but I believe they were giving us options on who to room with." He hesitated a few heartbeats. "Would... would you be interested in sharing a room? I don't know about you, but I can't think of anyone else I'd be more comfortable sharing with."

"Ah, you know where the guild is, right? Maple said we have rooms to stay in there, I stopped by for a moment but left left shortly after. If I'm not mistaken, they've got two to three people to a room. Much more private than our previous arrangements."

"Mm." Nip looked up, staring off into the woods. "I... have to admit, I feel a bit better after talking like this. Thank you, Celeste. If nothing else, I know I'm not the only one feeling just a bit lost here."
