He was most likely lost, but the look on his face gave nothing away. Instead, his golden eyes appeared curious and in awe of what they were seeing. Indeed, occasionally the lad would stop to inspect something that others would most likely just brush by in a hurry. Thorne reached out to lay a hand tentatively on the slashed tapestry that hung on a wall. It appeared to be very old, and once very beautiful. It was a shame that such a state had befallen the castle, and befallen the kingdom as well. The child hadn't been alive to appreciate the Kingdom's splendor, but he had seen pictures and read books about how life used to be. He reached out to his black Zangoose, Midnight and rubbed her head lightly. The cat-ferret pokemon purred quietly then nudged the boy as if to suggest they move along. Thorne nodded and followed his Pokemon companion through the carpeted hallway. He had never been inside a castle before, and it blew his mind. Thorne imagined a King and Queen in power, and he their best Pokemon hunter. He would have his own room in the palace and he would have servants and... "W-what was that?" Thorne murmered. He took a small blade from his belt and grasped it tightly in his hands. What if the rebels were back?! He would give them a reason to never return! Still, he found his hand shaking slightly as the sound of footsteps drew nearer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Purple eyes stared up at the castle for a moment and then lowered themselves back towards the front 'door' of the castle. A light hum could be heard reverberated out from Alvaro Gean as the young man then grinned and started into the actual castle. He had... never been in such a place... and indeed, his legs had brought him there. Because of this, the green haired man had resolved to at least go in and see what was what in the area.

As he came into the first hallway, he found himself grinning a little and turning in a full circle looking at the walls rather easily. So much ruin... less glamor than a funeral....sad....really.... his thoughts spoke aloud, yet the green haired man didn't seem to stop smiling. Eh... oh well~ was all that passed through his mind as he walked farther into the castle. He was rather unaware of the boy that was also in the castle that was also apparently hearing his footsteps, and because of this, Alvaro remained to himself at that point.

He glanced toward Midnight who now stood up on her hind legs with her claws splayed. She would do anything to keep her trainer safe from harm. The pokemon sniffed at the air curiously, the scent wafting toward them appeared to be of human origin. A person with green hair turned the corner and would have walked right into the boy and his pokemon if Thorne didn't begin speaking, "Who are you?" He demanded in a fake deep voice. The Zangoose growled in agreement. "If you're a rebel, battle me and get ready to lose!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The voice was possibly the only thing that drew Alvaro's attention off from his own thoughts and towards the boy. Upon actually realizing what was being said, the green haired man blinked a moment and then all but laughed (which in effect led to a lighter chuckle to escape him anyways go figure). Well now, wasn't that a little odd to .... well actually that made the day a bit less boring, Alvaro had to admit, indeed. However, now there was what he would resolve to make for a reply.

"Fighting is repetitive and boring," was all he answered back with bringing up one arm and then bending his wrist and causing the bulk of his hand to fall downwards as he more or less shrugged the child off. His neon green nails seemed to be the main eye catcher of that moment if one actually followed his movements (though considering they were only a tad shade lighter than his hair, they could possibly have been completely overlooked, heh).

After a few seconds, Alvaro lowered his hand and pulled both hands behind his back taking on a rather easy smile and leaning forwards. "And I am far from a rebel or whatever it is you mean," he grinned a bit more and turned his head to one side. "What's a kid doing in here anyways?" he asked after a few seconds.

He paused, "A rebel." He finished the statement bitterly. Thorne tucked the knife back into his belt slowly, avoiding eye contact with the odd man. He didn't appreciate being pushed around and pouted slightly in response. As for fighting, the boy loved it and was slightly disappointed that this stranger wasn't interested in a battle. "I'm Thorne." He said definitively with a curt not, "And that's none of your business." The boy smirked, "Unless you wanna tell me what you're doin' first." Midnight lowered herself back onto all fours and tucked her claws back in. She slunk across the carpet so that her body wrapped around the child's legs. Her red eyes watched the man cautiously, although she let herself relax. His body language seemed non-threatening, but the Zangoose wasn't one to let her guard down. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A light laugh escaped the green haired man at the response. "I guess it really isn't," he answered back with an easy smile. "But it doesn't change the fact that my curiosity asks it anyways," he answered back laughing a little as he did so.

After a few seconds, his eyes shifted towards the nearly all black Zangoose.... Well now... that was... very interesting.... He'd heard of pokemon like that... color changes other than shiny (though he didn't have any of his own)... Though that begged the question as to whether they were anatomically different or not. Eh, he was never much into genetics as much as anatomy, yet it did seem a tad interesting, at least.

He'd probably look into it later... if he remembered to do so.. blast, why did Era not seem to have any sort of research area that he knew of.............................oh that was right~ He'd forgotten to find any sort of map....x3 Silly him, there probably was one somewhere around.. He'd just keep walking where his legs took him and run into one sooner or later, heh.

"Oh now rude of me," he grinned after a moment shifting his eyes back to the boy. "My name's Alvaro," he continued rather lightly. "And how are you today Mr. Thorn?"
