However, when asked about his own sort of fears, he simply brought an arm up and held her a bit closer as he thought. "......I feared nearly all the other Cipher Admins except for Master Ein," he answered back shrugging his shoulders. "Well... one was just annoying, but...." a certain Afro came to mind, yet Yue put that thought away for that moment at least. Shaking his head he made to dismiss that last thought. [/scrolly]

She still wasn't happy about the storm, but his holding her was enough a comfort that that nervous edge managed to subside to a small, numbing ache in the back of her mind. "You never really knew Ardos though, right?" She was pretty sure they'd discussed that before. Yes, she was certain; she'd said they would've gotten along. The question was really rhetorical then. Hm... So what else? "... I despise bats. Or Bat Pokemon mostly." Motherfucking-... "Still not fond of heights, but you broke me of that to a point." She laughed lightly. "Snakes make me a bit nervous, though I'm fine with lizards and most bugs as long as the latter aren't on me... And... Heh. I cannot stand to be alone for too long. Or to lose anything, or fail at anything." She grinned somewhat slyly, eyes heavy as she gazed up at him. "Though I usually just refuse to fail at most things. However difficult," she laughed, nudging him at the last word.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

At the heights one, he half grinned before a singular thought on flying more came to mind. It would be good to go out and fly when the weather was good and when they were ahead... or maybe early in the morning so that after they could come back and get back to work.... no definitely in the evening after work, yes.... "We'll have to go flying more often," he chuckled to himself rather quietly. At the refusal to fail, even with the nudging, he couldn't help but grin a bit before shaking his head and letting a quiet 'tsk' sound escape. "I dislike sand in most instances," he stated aloud. "It infuriates me when it can get into things... not really a fear though..... I don't really mind rain or thunderstorms ...and heh... I don't like being alone either... though probably in a different way than your version of it." he smirked a little before shaking his head slowly. [/scrolly]

(Or more when it announced itself rather loudly.) She couldn't help but grin when he mentioned sand, though. She knew this, and had always found it extremely amusing somehow. He lived in the desert, after all, and from the sound of it always ha-... Suddenly a rather belated thought clicked into place with his tales of childhood a bit earlier. He... was actually native to Era, not the Orre, wasn't he? Unless... Eh she couldn't remember his exact wording now on where he'd said he wandered after his mom, but it was possible he could've been from northern Orre and wandered up into Era. Or... maybe further in given he'd have had a few years to get there.. Eh, she'd ask more on that later. This decision was doubly confirmed when his last point was made. ... Well that was the last thing she was expecting, and Kali couldn't help but give a syllable's worth of a disbelieving laugh. "And what way is that?" she asked with an odd smile. "This is the same man who's been reluctant to hire every one of the less-than-hand-full of people working for him?" She would've asked about taking her on, but she knew her age really had factored strongly into that, especially given she'd made a point when they met to come off as a child. Really and truly, though, she'd always thought he preferred to be alone, at least more often than not.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

How was he supposed to say that as long as one person was alive that he knew and respected that he would be at peace simply knowing so? How could he begin to explain that was the sole reason that he was so sure that Master Ein was still alive out there and simply caught up in business or jail or something rather than dead? How did one begin to describe the fear of being alone after one world around you was suddenly thrown away? How could he begin to explain that it didn't matter the number of people that one came into contact with for any duration of time didn't really matter when it came to such loneliness? Whoever had made up the phrase 'lonely in a crowd' certainly nailed that head, yet Yue couldn't come up with such wording at that moment at least. And because he was unable to explain any of this or even remotely begin to describe what he wanted to say on the matter, Yue Leon Alias simply sat there rather quietly for a good solid five minutes before finally shaking his head a little and offering a smile. "Sorry... I can't really explain it," he finally answered back even managing to force a laugh from somewhere in him. [/scrolly]

When he finally answered pretty calmly if vaguely, she just took it as a relief and sighed. "It's all right." Moving backward a little, she coaxed him to lean against her, his head on her chest, her head resting against his. "You'll never be alone again." Grinning after a few moments, she added with a small laugh, "I'm much to clingy and annoying to allow that."[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

After a few more seconds of silence, he wrapped his arms around her and smirked a little. "Good," was all that quietly came after that. [/scrolly]

Debating where to go from here, she eventually realized she wasn't quite done with the previous subject, was she? "I..." she started, wondering just how to say it. However, she finally gave up on any way of getting around the full confession. "..am terrified.. of guns and anything similar..." Thinking rather heavily on the incident with Hatter the bastard, she added, "And I can't handle gore at all." In other words, it really wasn't lack of eating that caused her to faint that day as she'd so heavily insisted. Not that she wasn't pretty certain everyone in the lab already knew that.. Except Jasmine, probably. She wasn't there, so she probably didn't know about it. ...She shouldn't know, anyway..[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

"I try and minimize weapon interactions in the lab," he sighed a bit thinking on the more official ground rules that he had set down for those that had entered. Though... trying to get Hatter to not bring in weapons was like asking a-.......ninja not to... Yue pretty much deadpanned at the full thought of Jack as a ninja of all things.... For a moment or so, he fought the urge to face/palm, and after tha, he ended up rubbing his temple anyways. "Maybe you should take shooting lessens though," he finally stated more or less using the same paralleled reasoning that if she had been afraid of heights before and had gone flying...... [/scrolly]

"NO," she declared rather adamantly, then turning rather red at how childish that probably came out, pulling away slowly now. "It's a weapon, not a shield. I can pull a PokeBall just as fast for both, and there are more options there. There's just..." She faltered a bit before coming back with resolution. "There's no reason I'd ever need to use something made strictly to kill." Sure guns could injure, too, but... Bullet wounds could get infected or one could hit some vital organ or artery without meaning to or general blood loss or just miss while trying to hit non-lethally and do nothing and... Eck. It was just so much easier to have Stormy break a guy's leg if she had to or something. Even worked better for intimidation. With a gun, she'd shake, and someone might be all 'you won't shoot'. With a Pokemon, it was a massive glowering presence that couldn't really be denied. Pokemon.. were just better.. Yeah.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

"Not to use as a weapon...." he sighed back. "More just... exposure to it so that it wouldn't make you as scared...." Though then again, no amount of exposure could ever make Venus seem less threatening /_=;;..... but...but still... "And learning how to handle one in any case would be good given Era's circumstances. If youw ere caught without a pokeball but managed to get a hold of a gun..." he sighed again knowing that trying to rationalize anything to someone who was afraid on such a level was not one of his strong points. It was so much easier just to... smile at someone and go along with what they said, but at this point... [/scrolly]

Wasn't that her-..? When he went on, Kali couldn't help but bark an almost-uncertain laugh. "Unless Hatter tries to kill us or teaches someone else to break in, I don't think that's going to happen," she replied bone dry. "The closest I've been to having no Pokemon on me for ten years is leaving my PokeBalls in the other room walking around home. And even then, I... honestly can't think of even once at the lab there's not been any out wandering." Stormy probably never would've gone in her ball as a kid if Kali'd had her way, and even then it was rare, though once she'd become an Electabuzz it was a little harder to defend her roaming. Of course, just 'it should probably be okay' wasn't enough to combat something like this. And she simly couldn't let him get away with turning her own logic on her without at least making a note that he'd tried to do so. "Though didn't we agree not to talk about your possibility to get over a fear by further exposure?" She'd go take some shooting lessons just as soon as he opened his mind again..[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

The thought of...ffff....... "M.......... I hate and mildly fear the damn Snag Machine..." he sighed a little thinking of how destructive it had been to Cipher and everything that he had stood for.... He didn't necessarily fear the machine itself so much as a relapse of what had happened previously because it wa sin existence.... And that was actually something to check into now wasn't it? He had to be sure somehow that it wasn't in Era and that there wasn't someone around that could rebuild one.... [/scrolly]

"...Ha. I.. hadn't really thought about that one, but yeah.. You and me both." Or she'd thought about it, and that she fucking hated it, but not as a conscious fear. How incompetent were Snag'em employees to actually need it, anyway? It wasn't that damn hard to take Pokemon by stealth or force, PokeBalls and all. Kali had been a spoiled teenager barely sixteen and never away from home and managed. Imbeciles.. "Hopefully Orren officials melted it down to 'prevent misuse' or something.." she muttered. Staring out at the clouds as she thought, she realized the storm was actually quite... alluring, almost.. with such a clear view yet secure location. ...Granted, there was a giant chunk of wall missing, but it wasn't like the whole building was just collapsing without provocation. It was solid stone, and had only been abandoned a few years. The wind wasn't too bad- and they'd know if it was- and the only other real danger they'd ever had with storms was flooding, which certainly wasn't even a slight concern from way up here. Well, she couldn't really think of anything else. So... What about the inverse? There'd been a little on likes before, but... Meh. "I... actually love..." Because this totally wasn't going to shatter every speck of maturity she'd worked so long to build up in his eyes. "...Disney." And... heh. Why the hell not? Something.. no one outside Ardos and some hired help had ever known.. "Back home with Ardos..... I.. hadaprincessbedroom... and I.. neverreallybotheredtochangeitmuch when I got older.." She gave a somewhat nervous laugh.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

A sudden laugh escaped so quickly form Yue that he didn't even have time to realize that he'd let it slide. In another moment, a hand was wrapped around his mouth, and it was all he could do to keep from laughing more. It was childish, but at the same time... somehow... funny.... After a breath or two, he finally moved his hand away again. "Interesting," he finally managed to state before suddenly laughing again. Ah... what the hell... Hahahahahahahah...... [/scrolly]

"Oh hush," she half-spat. "Like you don't have anything silly and childish, Mr. Would-Carry-A-Cleffa-Everywhere-If-He-Could." She gave a slightly bitter but teasing smirk, then shrugged and announced rather smugly, "Anyway, you're watching a marathon later with me either way, so you may as well become a fan now." She still hadn't decided if she wanted to finally buy a tv or just use a computer they already had. Eh.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

"A Cleffa can use a number of attacks, though... and I prefer Happiny and Togepi more so anyways. he grinned a little before shaking his head. At the comment on the marathon, Yue blinked and raised his eyebrow mentally sighing and already half-wondering if that day was just going to be as spontaneous as his announcement on her birthday or not. "I've watched most of the Disney movies," he finally stated more or less looking off. "I grew up with Nurse Joys and future Nurse Joys... a family full of girls, after all. If it wasn't a Disney movie, chick-flick, or something of that nature, it was some soap opera...." Yue's smile fidgeted a little. "And I really hate soaps." Somewhere in the world, a soap opera fan just shouted 'Roderick don't go'. [/scrolly]

Heh.. In some ways, his childhood really was more normal than he'd let on, wasn't it? Of course, in others... Eh. Still, she couldn't help but giggle madly at the comment on the Joys. Oh, she would have fun with this eventually. "I'm pretty sure at least one or two new ones have come out in my lifetime," she teased. Which, a little sadly, was about the same amount of time since he'd started working under Ein. She was actually pretty sure there were several she hadn't seen, both from the past few years and older ones she just never got ahold of, but yeah. In wondering just how many he had seen growing up, the Joys again came to mind, and suddenly a new thought with them, causing Kali to laugh. "You know, it suddenly makes sense why you're not really into girls. As many as you make it sound like you grew up with, it's a miracle you aren't gay," she chided.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]

"I thought it was pretty funny, but not particularly?" A mischievous grin suddenly broke out as her voice lowered to something a little more alluring. She moved closer again, placing an open palm on his chest- or rather her fingertips, letting her palm just barely hover. "It isn't like you really act straight, after all.." She pushed him back now, as much using that as a distraction as actually trying as she climbed onto his lap, not really caring whether or not he actually lay down. "Most straight men I've seen would be fairly excited by this," she purred in his ear. She was doing (almost) nothing but teasing him at this point, really, and as long as they'd been together he should realize that. Either way though, as long as he didn't get mad about it, she was going to have some fun teasing.[/scrolly]	[atrb=style,border:0 black none;]
