"Boy, ya know I got at least twenty good years left in me. Then again, when I hit ninety, I can resort to beatin' ya over the head with my cane." Kel didn't think that day would ever come, but hey, it was a funny thought and made for a good comeback.
"Count Kero Blackthorne....Southern Wastelands...Charizard, uh-huh...." Already, the man's mind was working on a plan.
"That's all I need. I can scrounge up more. Just leave it to yer old man. Though I may need to hunt down an...insurance policy fer that Charizard. Just in case. Maybe some fierce electric type. Or water..."
As if on cue, Leah popped out of her Pokeball. "Buizel!" She clung to Kel's leg, trying to tell him she'd take on a thousand Charizard at once just for him. The water type's eye's sparkled as she looked up at her trainer; her love.
Kel patted her on the head. "You got a lotta heart. But I don't want ya taking on a task like that on yer own."
"Bui bui!" Leah snuggled into Kel's leg.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] “Ninety?” Sen laughed hearing that, “I don’t even expect to be alive long enough to see your ninetieth birthday.” He hardly expected to make it to fourthly before his luck ran out and he found himself looking into the face of death. It was the life he had chosen when staying with Kel and the group even if most didn’t live long in the line of work.
Sen ended up grinning from ear to ear as he watched the small water pokemon show her affection for Kel. It seemed Kel had found himself a clinger. She must have been proving her keep and be working rather hard for him to have kept her though. Sen wasn’t use to Kel allowing such obvious indications of affection. Though his recent conclusion on Ty made him see a bit of a different light on the subject. Perhaps their heartless leader wasn’t as heartless as most believed.
With one swift movement, Sen jumped down from the branch and straightened himself a bit. “I have a Raichu.” Sen stated, his purple eyes falling onto his leader, “I haven’t tested him in battle yet but he could prove useful if you would like to borrow him.” He had caught the pokemon after it had fallen in love with his Deerling as odd as that sounded. But it was a final form of a powerful electric group and could be helpful verse a charizard.

"Maybe most don't live that long in this business. But we got somethin' others don't. We got each other, all of us. You can guaran-damn-tee if one of us goes down, at least one other's goin' down with ya. I'm a hard man, I know. But I ain't completely soulless. In my days, the one thing I learned is not to take crap from nobody. People think yer soft, they walk all over ya. And ya can rest assured, should yer last stand ever come, yer old man'll be right there beside ya."
Kel paused, deeply considering Sen's offer. "'Preciate the offer, son. But I ain't a borrowin' kinda man. Don't ya worry though I'll find me somethin' good."
"Zel?" Leah looked up sadly.
"Leah, yer fast, yer smart. But I'm out for somethin' a little big; somethin' that can stare it straight in the face and trade blows. Besides, I already got a job for ya."
"Bui!"
"Besides, yer gunna help me catch my secret weapon."
Leah practically jumped into Kel's arms. Once he caught her, the Water-type planted a kiss right on the old man's mouth.
Kel's eyes widened; when Leah pulled back, Kel wiped his mouth with a smirk. "Gutsy, ain't she?" The bandit had no clue how to react. But Leah was grinning from ear to ear. Kel may not have returned the affection, but she'd make him come around.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)]
“Well we sure as hell can’t die of old age and if your going out at the same time as me, we’re doing it in style.” Sen laughed. It was always what he told people when he talked about his own death. For one reason or another he didn’t want to live a long life. He was almost afraid of growing old. More because he felt being old would be boring. If he went out in style then perhaps someone would remember him.
“Maybe you can find a Electivire. Those could look a Charizard straight in the eyes.” Sen suggested, sounding almost more excited about it then even Kel, “But personally I think a Galvan…” He stopped mid sentence when the Buizel jumped up and gave his boss a rather affectionate kiss.
Sen felt his stomach instantly swell up with laughter as he attempted to hold it in. Yet even as he attempted to cover up the obvious amusement he had received from the actions of the water pokemon, his face began to grow redder and redder until finally he burst out into a fit of laughter. He almost toppled over, he was laughing so hard. “Yoou… should… have seen… your face.” he attempted to speak between his laughter.

"Electivire would kick ass. Then again so would a Tyranitar, a Dragonite, or an Agg--" Kel's sentence was cut short by a sudden burst of laughter from his 'son.' "...ron..." Okay, so the man had no clue what to do here; no one had ever laughed at him like that before.
However, Kel didn't necessarily have to do anything. Leah's eye twitched at the laughing. What was so funny about her expressing her love? Glaring, the Buizel left her master's arms and marched over to the red-haired man, aiming a Tail-slap right at Sen's face.
Kel never got a chance to see whether or not it even landed. As soon as he saw what was coming, a sound that had probably never come out of Kel's mouth erupted through the forest. The man had bowled over in hysterical laughter. "I am...definitely....keeping that...Buizel."
Leah marched back over to Kel, leaping into the man's arms again and snuggling into his chest. And she was happy to hear Kel was keeping her.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen had just started to feel his laughter begin to settle when the Buizel jumped down from Kel’s arms and caught him in the face with her tail. It ended his laughter instantly as he stood up and set a hand on his cheek. “Owh…” Even as he said owie, he heard the laughter erupt from Kel. Something that he was pretty sure he had never heard before. Well… not to this extent at least. He couldn’t help but grin despite the redness of his cheek.
“Yah, yah, laugh it up chuckles.” Sen teased before his mind began to wonder back to Ty. He wasn’t sure why he had suddenly started thinking of him again. Perhaps now that he knew… well… A few things Kel did were starting to remind him of Ty. “Hey pops, what would you say if I… ah…” He looked away as he tried to figure out if he actually wanted to ask this or not, “Maybe hung around that boy… sometimes…”

After a few moments, Kel calmed down, returning Leah to her Pokeball. That was just what he needed; he'd never laughed that hard before. Ever.
"Ya bet yer ass I will, the man answered with a smirk.
Kel did not expect the question, but he knew something like it was coming when Sen started stammering. Stammering was something Sen didn't normally do when addressing him.
"Ty? Hey, yer a grown man. Long as it doesn't put the group at risk, ya can do whatever the hell ya want." Kel smirked, but he just had to ask...
"So, I gotta ask ya. What's yer interest in that boy? I mean, whatcha see in 'im?"

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] For a very slight moment Sen seemed to relax again. But that was only for a moment. When Kel asked what his interests in Ty where… well his mind began to scream and his body tensed up again. The last thing he wanted to do was tell Kel that he was interested in an intimate relationship with his son. Even if he wasn’t close to Ty anymore it was still… well… and on top of that they were both… Sen wasn’t fully sure if Kel had caught onto his true attraction to men yet. After all, when at a bar he hit on both. While with Kel he normally went for the woman because that was who Kel would point out.
“Well I, just, I…” He had to smooth himself out and calm himself a bit. He had never felt embarrassed or nerves around Kel since the day he was found. Kel would defiantly know he was lying if he kept stuttering. So he sucked in a deep breath and let it out before allowing a grin to spread across his face, “I’d met him in the city a few days ago and I guess I just… had fun with him is all.” Yah, that was a bit better. A nice save indeed.

Kel sort of blinked, not fully understanding the situation. Which was odd. Kel always had to understand the situation.
"Hold on, son. Whatcha suddenly askin' me this fer? I mean, ya never really thought to ask what I thought of who ya hung out with before. I mean, yer just going out fer drinks, maybe stealin' from folks, right?"
Kel always observed his surroundings; though sadly, the man never really observed Sen all that close, or he would've seen it sooner.
"Talk to me, Sen. What's goin' on?" He folded his arms across his chest.

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Damn, he hadn’t fallen for it. Sen was a hell of a good lire but when it came to lying to Kel he seemed to slip up every time. He had no idea why. Perhaps it was what it was like to have a real father. Deep down Sen kind of hoped it was even if it made him feel a bit trapped right now.
“Yah just drinks and stuff.. Its just… I thought because he was, well, you know, related that perhaps I should…” Crossing of the arms… that was never good. He knew it would cause him to feel guilty if he didn’t start spilling some truth soon. He didn’t want to do anything he’d feel guilt for. Of course that was his excuses. Truth was, just like sadness, he couldn’t feel guilt. He justified that by telling himself he just never did anything he could feel guilty for. Like right now. He was going to avoid lying further to avoid admitting he had a problem.
“I just kind of… well none of it matters much anyway.” He had almost told Kel his feelings for Ty when he realized he didn’t have to. Nor did he have to lie either. There was another way to avoid it without worrying about needing to feel guilt. “He kind of seemed pissed that I was working with you. Said he needed his space. I don’t really get it.” Even as he said this, something that should have ipset him, he smiled. He still didn’t really understand why Ty had been so upset. But he just couldn’t understand feelings he didn’t have.

The man listened, though he still didn't buy into this one hundred percent.
"Well, I can't say I blame 'im. He don't understand, is all. Shouldn't let me screw up a relationship. I mean, just cuz I left 'im, don't mean ya shouldn't hang around 'im."
Then, Kel smirked, deciding to drop this little act. "Boy, yer jumpier than a Sudowoodo in a rainstorm. Mind tellin' yer old man the whole story?"

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen didn’t want to give up the relationship just because of Kel, but sadly it wasn’t just his choice. It kind of put a bit of fear into him. He hated fear. Why, out of all the feeling he didn’t have, did he actually have to have fear? That fear only began to grow as Kel finally demanded to know the whole story. It seemed Sen wasn’t getting out of this. One way or another, Sen knew he would have to let Kel know eventually anyway. But…
“I…” He sucked in a deep breath and calmed himself finally, “It may have been a bit more then just a few drinks and stealing and I… I asked him out. Now he doesn’t want to be with me because of us.” He smiled at this, feeling a bit calmer now that he had finally gotten it out. He wasn’t upset about it all. He just didn’t understand and he was afraid Kel might get mad at him too.

Kel chuckled. "That all? Ya had me worried for a second there. It's yer life, not mine; besides, who ya see doesn't affect yer abilities or yer work, from what I see."
The man paused when Sen mentioned Ty breaking up because of him. "That, I got no control over. Maybe we don't see eye to eye, but despite what he thinks was bad parentin', ya gotta look at how he turned out. Maybe he'll come around. If not, it's his loss."

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen felt all the fear he had inside him subside when Kel replied to him. Heh, he wasn’t even sure what he had been afraid of. Perhaps if the doubt had of been in there too he would have known but it hadn’t been. With that new found relaxation Sen couldn’t help but start stretching. Standing still for too long just wasn’t his thing. So, he lifted one leg and grabbed it with a hand from behind his back as he stretched it.
“Actually, I dunno how it will effect me” He replied as he thought about it, “Never had a real relationship but I guess it doesn’t matter” Didn’t have any relationship if Ty didn’t want one. “He has emotions like a Jigglypuff.” Sen laughed as he let his leg fall to the ground and began stretching his arm behind his back.

Kel nodded. "That's the boy's glaring weakness. He wears his heart on his sleeves. That and the fact he has no instinct. He always brought home bottlecaps instead of cash, and the like."
The man cracked his neck. "Alright, son. Yer old man has work to do. I ain't tellin' the rest of the gang my exact activities. I can let ya know details when I get 'em. But I ain't askin' for help unless I blow the whistle, got it? This has to go smooth, quiet, and it's a one man job."

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen couldn’t help but laugh at Kel’s comment about the boy always bringing home bottle caps. Sen had a feeling Ty just had bad luck when it came to that. After all, Sen had pointed out someone to him who Sen had figured would have money on him yet he ended up having marbles instead. But Sen didn’t voice this Kel. It really wasn’t all that important.
“Should I hang around encase something goes wrong?” Sen asked having no issues heading towards the Southern Wastelands for a bit. He’d just need to make sure he caught himself a water pokemon first. The last time he had been there he had regretted not having a water type.

"Near enough to answer a call, at least. Never had to send out a distress call before, but hell. This ain't no small job, and I can't say I done nothin' this big before. And I ain't tryin' to put an early end to my life by takin' stupid worthless risks."
Kel gave a nod, before continuing. "Though this won't be for a while. I gotta come up with a plan. And I need to go see about catchin' a few Insurance Policies, if ya know what I mean."

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] "Heh... The I guess I'm going to try and catch myself a water pokemon. I'll have to head west first." Out of all the water pokemon out there he was actually hoping to catch himself a Surskit. Most likely because the tiny water pokemon reminded him of a water spider. For some reason or another he had a love for spiders. Most likely it was Ada's fault. She was around here somewhere listening to them, he was certain of that.
"If you play your cards right you could steal his Charizard. I bet that thing would sell for a lot if you didn't want to keep it." Sne sure as hell wouldn't give up that opportunity. He'd probably try to train it and if it was too head strong, as most Charizards were, then he would find himself a good buyer or perhaps trade it for another really cool, already trained pokemon.

The man nodded. "We'll meet back up here when we're both done and it's time to come up with the plan. I'll prolly end up lookin' west, myself."
Kel chuckled. "Hell yeah we could. That would set us straight for quite some time. I wouldn't mine keepin' it. I ain't met a Pokemon I couldn't set straight."

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Sen nodded when Kel suggested coming back here to meet up again before heading to the South. West it was. Hopefully he’d be able to find a good water pokemon.
“When you come out victorious I’ll have you take me out for those drink you owe me.” Sen laughed before adding, “I’m going to go scout out the area, see if any of the other members are on the way and no one is following them.” The others would be arriving soon which meant, Sen, as second in charge, had some work to do. Without much more to say, the younger man turned and pulled himself up into the tree, disapearing into the brush to go work.
