A Gift (Elayne/Mod)

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] This place... it was so… well he couldn’t even think of a word for it. It defiantly did not suit the man as he made his way through the twisted trees, bushes and vines. His clothes were much too fancy for such a jungle of trees. He was dressed in an old fashioned, blue suit with white trimmings and long tail. His hands were covered with pure white gloves that looked like they had never seen a grain of stand. Though he was wearing boots they were not meant for hikes. If anything they were suited for someone who should sitting in a high chair sipping tea. Yet even with his misplaced wardrobe he still seemed oddly in place. His golden blond hair seemed to shimmer in the small strains of light that seeped through the trees of the Glade. His pale skin and smooth motions seemed to blend in with the harmony of the trees and greenery that surrounded him. The Sceptile, Vipin, who was walking beside him almost seemed more out of place then Lance. Lance Rossi had come to the Runic Glade in search of a few pokemon. Some for himself and perhaps one or two for his little Rossi. He didn’t want to see her again until he had found her a gift. He had the perfect idea for the gift but he needed a pokemon of some sort for it. He believed this would make the young lady very happy and perhaps would keep her from asking if he would stay with them. He still did not believe Felis would let him. He had to give his brother more time to begin trusting him again. One short meeting with the young man wasn’t going to cut it. He felt that meeting had gone rather well though. A better then he had originally planned. He was actually quite proud of his little white lies. He had almost debated finding Felis a pokemon as well but had hesitated on the idea. He wasn’t sure if the younger man would become offended by it or not. A sudden crackling sound in the trees caused Lance to pause mid step, before he turned, his ocean blue eyes scanning the forest around him. He was hoping it would be a pokemon but… he couldn’t see anything just yet. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel walked calmly through the glade, his mind full of thoughts about recent events. His hair was tied up in a braid so that it was easier to manage, but even with this, the braid still reached Miguel's lower back. He wore his normal attire which consisted of comfortable black boots, rather baggy dark blue pants that resembled scrubs, and a just as baggy dark blue shirt with long sleeves that very nearly covered his hands. Felis had sent Miguel out yet again to inquire about the state of the local towns and cities but this time though, Miguel had been loathe to leave Felis and Rosa. Their older brother had apparently visited them after running away which in and of itself was reason enough to distrust the man; anyone who abandoned their family at a time when they needed him the most was a coward...and Miguel despised cowardice. In truth, Miguel had taken the detour of sorts to clear his mind and give him some time to think, on one hand, Miguel didn't want to trust the man, but Rosa seemed to love him...and if only for Rosa's sake, Miguel would tolerate the man. If it were up to him, Lance wouldn't come near Rosa again, after all, the man had deserted his sister before...what was to stop him from doing so again? Miguel had said as much to Felis, but in the end, Lance was still his brother...and even though Miguel couldn't very well relate to the bond between brothers, he knew all too well what losing his own loved own had done to him. Miguel still despised the man who had done such a thing to him, but that didn't make him any less...family. Miguel had been so busy thinking that he didn't realize he wasn't the only person in the glade until he heard a sharp snapping sound. Putting a hand on the sword strapped to his back out of reflex more than anything else, Miguel relaxed when he realized the sound had come from him stepping on a branch and lowered his hand to his side once more. It was then that he realized there was another man in the glade and looked at the man, silent for a time before nodding at the blond-haired man in greeting. "I apologize if I caused you any alarm, I wasn't aware there was anyone else in the glade..."Miguel said in a calm voice as he looked at the man. Something seemed...familiar about the man but...the knight couldn't say exactly what it was...perhaps it was just his imagination... [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lances eyes narrows a bit when he finally spotted the being who had caused the sound. The insignificant little worm had managed to not only distract him from his thoughts, but was most defiantly the reason he had yet to find a single pokemon. It had almost appeared as if this man was going to attack at first which had caused Lance’s muscles to tighten a bit. Vipin had quickly put himself into a fighting stance, ready to protect his master if needed but luckily the man before them had taken his hand away from the sword on his back. It wasn’t until then that Lance realized the man had just only noticed them. “I was in search of a few pokemon.” Lance replied the man in a rather low, dry voice, “If I had of known someone else would be out here scaring them all off Id have ventured somewhere else.” His words, though rather rude, where oddly calm and could have very well been mistaken for simple annoyance. Truth was, he had done that on purpose. He had wanted to chew this man’s face off, not because he had disturbed him but simply because he was realizing he was in a rather foul mood. He had not wanted company. However, Lance knew better then to snap at someone until he at lest knew partly who they were. The last thing he wanted was to snap at the new Duke of East or something foolish like that. He did not want to make unnecessary enemies unless he was certain he could take them down swiftly. Silent for a moment, Lance reached out his arm in front of Vipin causing the pokemon to relax. There was no reason to start a fight with the man but while he was here he might as well learn the name to the face. “May I ask who you are?” He let his hand fall back to his side as he asked this, keeping his expression blank as he attempted to hide his scowl.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel remained calm even when Lance commented about him scaring the Pokemon away and bowed his head slightly,"Forgive me, I meant no harm...but perhaps the Pokemon could be intimidated by your Sceptile. There are rather young Pokemon in this vicinity...it wouldn't surprise me in the least if that were the case...it's not easy to approach something that's taller than you, unless it happens to be a rather brave Pokemon." he replied rather easily as he watched the man calm the Sceptile, "I must say though, your Sceptile is unlike any I've seen before...the coloring is rather unique, he appears to be very brave, you raised him very well." After a moment of silence, Miguel shifted slightly, listening to the sounds of the glade...it certainly seemed that no Pokemon was in this vicinity currently, but then that could change rather quickly. When he heard the man ask him his name, Miguel nodded and smiled,"Certainly. My name is Miguel Alejandro Castillo, and who is it that I have the pleasure of speaking to on this fine day?"he asked in a calm, sincere voice. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lance stood with his back straight, and his body still as the man spoke. The expression on his face was extremely grim though it wasn’t because of what Miguel was saying. It was because of the way he was saying it. He talked too much and sugar coated things he said. It was annoying. Yet Lance held his tongue despite what he wanted to say. He had given a side glance to Vipin, moving his eyes only, as the man claimed his pokemon’s size could be the reason no other pokmeon were around. Since Lance had left Era he hadn’t caught many pokemon but before he left he was capable to finding and catching them without issues. He didn’t believe his pokemon could be the cause of the lack of pokemon around now. It also made him feel better to blame the other man. He liked making himself feel better. Then the man commented on how well he had raised his Sceptile. Of course he had raised Vipin well. Only the lazy raised there pokemon poorly. Only a fool kept a pokemon who wasn’t in good shape. But… “Thank you.” He replied coldly. He had to keep the act up. The full name he gave meant the man clearly wasn’t a commoner. The clothes… as disgusting as they were… also told he wasn’t a commoner. Perhaps another noble, knight or something of the sorts. Lance didn’t recognize the last name so he figured he couldn’t be a noble. “Lance Alexander Rosi” He replied flatly before adding with a bit of force, “It’s nice to meet you.” Goodness he hated himself sometimes. But only sometimes. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Upon hearing the man's name, Miguel stiffened slightly and had to force himself to remain calm....this was the infamous brother of Felis and Rosa it seemed. Now that he knew the man's name, Miguel could see the resemblance to Felis, and even young Rosa...it was a wonder he hadn't caught on sooner, but then Miguel hadn't been actively searching for the man either. In fact he had been in the process of trying to put Lance out of his mind only to find the one person he least wanted to meet in the glade of all things. Even still, Rosa loved her brother dearly...and if only for her sake, Miguel would tolerate this coward of a man...at least until he knew a little more about him. Nodding, Miguel more or less forced a smile and bowed,"Please, the pleasure is all mine"he replied, his voice sounding just slightly more formal, "Are you by chance related to the Duke Rossi?" [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] He would have to get use to this. A year ago it would have been people asking Felis if he was related to the Duke to be. Now he was second to his brother. Not that he minded at all. He had never wanted the title in the first place. It had been his parents forcing it onto him. Now he could only hope Felis, along with the bulk of the nobles fell beneath the rebellion someday. Power would only be given to those who earned it, not who were born into it. Or so, that is how Lance wanted it. “He is my brother. Lance replied, trying his best not to sound to grim on the subject. He almost called Felis his younger brother but had decided against it. There would be less questions asked if people didn’t catch on that Lance was older. He could already hear the questions pounding him on why he gave up the title and honestly he didn’t want to talk about it in even the slightest. “I was actually searching for a gift for him. Instead I seem to have found you.” He was trying to make light of the situation while hoping that this Miguel person would just scurry along and leave him alone. He also left out the fact that the gift he was searching for was a birthday present. If he could Felis a present for an event that he missed… well he had a feeling it would warm his brothers heart a bit more. Problem was, he hadn’t actually decided if it would be a pokemon yet. Now it seemed he had decided due to this man before him. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel found himself tensing at the admission that Felis was Lance's brother actually coming from the man...he had suspected it but hearing it actually confirmed his suspicion and Miguel had to fight to keep himself from growing angry at the man for hurting his friend so deeply. Instead, Miguel merely nodded, keeping the same, almost fake smile on his face,"Ah, I see...I am...acquainted to Felis and thought that you looked similar to him. It makes sense that would be so if you're his brother,"he replied in a calm, formal sounding voice before he heard that Lance was searching for a birthday present for Felis. Hearing the reason behind the man looking for pokemon in the glade softened Miguel's disposition towards him somewhat, but only just...Miguel still didn't trust the man, even if he was searching for a present for Felis. "I see...perhaps I could aid you in your quest?"he asked calmly, more-so so that he could keep an eye on Lance and see what his character really was like. Perhaps by spending time with the man he would be able to learn more about him and why Lance ran away in the first place. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Acquainted to him? He had met a few people who knew his brother but they never claimed to be acquainted with him. To Lance, the man’s choice of words meant he most likely spoke with Felis be it once or twice or many times. Miguel, though Lance was rather disgusted with his attire, did dress in rather well made clothes. At least nothing Lance could see a servant wearing in Felis’s castle. “I’m afraid my brother did not mention you.” Lance claimed, though he did not realize that his claim was wrong as Felis actually had mentioned Miguel. He was about to ask how the man knew his brother when the man asked if could help him find the gift. It made Lance frown inside and for some reason he desperately wanted to smack that smile off his face. It looked… fake almost… Though Lance hadn’t known the man long enough to be the judge of that yet. Perhaps he just didn’t do well around nobles. Ha. He far from considered himself a noble anymore. He only used the word because it helped him gain power in this region. In the other regions it meant nothing to the people. “If you have the time to spare then I have no objections.” Lance agreed to have the man help though originally he would have rather had the man leave. The change came about only because Lance figured this man might know few things about his brother that he didn’t yet know. But first… Lance turned from the man, taking a few steps as if to indicate what direction they would begin their search. “I’m curious,” He spoke up, while attempting to keep his eye out for a suitable pokemon, “How exactly have you become acquainted with my brother?” Weather it was notice or not, Lance was sugar coating every word he used. Knowing exactly who this man was to Felis would help Lance determine if he would need to keep his little charade up or not. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

Walking slowly a good hundred feet off, a Lopunny could be seen leaning sideways and holding hands with a Togepi as she led the baby pokemon to wherever they were going. The Togepi appeared to be rather excited regardless and kept repeating a 'toge' 'toge' 'prrrrrrrrrrri' pattern as she walked. Farther off in a different direction, a Kirlia could be seen picking a few flowers absentmindedly.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel blinked when Lance said that Felis hadn't mentioned him and found himself both oddly relieved and perplexed, surely Felis had said something...of course it might have been that Lance just hadn't been listening. Deciding not to dwell on this little piece of information, Miguel pushed this from his mind and followed Lance in the direction he had indicated, eying the shiny Sceptile that Lance had chosen to remain out as it seemed Lance had chosen not to take his advice about returning the Pokemon. Looking around, Miguel kept an eye out for any Pokemon in the area when he heard Lance ask him how he knew Felis and found himself breathing out rather slowly. That was certainly not something he was ready to reveal, but the man had asked...and so far Lance had answered every one of Miguel's questions truthfully (at least as far as he could tell), it was only just that he would return the favor. "I am a knight under his command, I protect both him and Rosa and would give my life for them..."he replied, lowering his voice slightly as he spotted the Lopunny and Togepi and made his way toward them, not waiting for a reply from Lance. Approaching the Togepi and Lopunny, Miguel knelt so that he wouldn't scare the Pokemon and smiled kind-heartedly at them, "Well hello there~,"he said in a quiet, gentle voice,"Where are you and the little one headed? She certainly seems excited..." [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Lance froze for a moment hearing Miguel’s answer. He could have mentally kicked himself for his blindness. Felis had mentioned a knight living in the castle with him and Rosa. Now Lance was regretting not asking for at least the name of the said knight. It was too late now. Luckily he hadn’t been too hostile with this man despite his irritation with him. Miguel was entirely too fake for Lance’s liking. Honeslty, it almost made him feel sick to his stomach. At lest… he hoped the personality he was getting from this man was fake. If it was his real personality Lance would be ready to try and convince Felis to find himself a new knight to work in the castle. Sadly this now meant he would have to work at lest somewhat keeping this man happy as well. At least until he gained Felis’s full trust. “I see… Well I am grateful to know someone is keeping them safe.” He lied, almost mentally kicking himself again. He had been distracted by Miguel’s words long enough that he had missed his chance of noticing the Togepi and Lopunny first. Now he was going to be reduced to hearing the man baby talk to the creatures. Such a waste of time. It would be much faster and much easier to just to battle the tiny, weak pokemon and capture them when they were down. Conversing with them was just… ugh… Either of those pokemon would be perfect for Rosa but Felis… no, he was certain his brother would be insulted if Lance gave him either of them. Perhaps he could claim one of the two pokemon for Rosa after Miguel was finished wasting his time with them. “I hope you at least… cover up a bit more around little Rosa.” Lance commented, turning a bit as he scanned the area to see if he spot another pokemon. He couldn’t help but comment on Miguels clothe. He didn’t like the fact that the man’s chest was showing and he defiantly did NOT want such attire to be pranced around his little Rosa. It was completely disgusting and certainly inappropriate around such a young child. After he had finished speaking, Lances dark blue eyes landed on the Kirlia. He didn’t see it being a good pokemon to give to Rosa as Felis had already mentioned her having some like it. He also didn’t want to give it Felis however, he could use a pokemon such as it. It would be a powerful addition to his own pokemon. “Leaf Storm” Lance commanded causing Vipin to turn his attention to the Kirlia. Without question the Sceptile took a fighting stance, slashing his arms in front of him and causing the leaves on the ground to lift up, sharply racing towards the wild pokemon. Though the attack was powerful, it did not come without a recoil. The speed in which it took to create the powerful attack would cause the recoil to hit Vipin and lowering his special attack if it happened to hit his target. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The Lopunny eyed Miguel for a moment, yet when it seemed that the man was not about to attack or something of the like, she seemed to smile and looked down at the Togepi. "Prrrrrrriiiiii!" the Togepi answered back meaning that they were headed towards a tree of some sorts. Indeed, the Lopunny knew better words to express that they were headed towards a tree in the middle of the Glade, but she doubted that he would know what she was saying, really.

The Kirlia was absolutely flabbergasted by the sudden attack and fell backwards straight on her behind before cringing and crossing her arms over her head as the leaves scratched and scraped her. After the leaves had died down, she slowly stood upwards and formed a Teleport almost instantly disappearing right then and there only to appear directly behind the Sceptile. Forming a Psyshock, the Kirlia released the move rather swiftly then and there. She didn't take kindly to those attacking her, it seemed.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel mentally twitched when Lance commented on his clothing but said nothing. What fool did Lance take him for...of course he wasn't about to dress in this manner in front of Rosa, Miguel's current outfit was certainly more comfortable, but he only wore it while travelling alone. Of course he hadn't expected Lance to show up or he would have worn something entirely different and-...OK...deep breath. Pushing the thoughts from his mind, Miguel looked at the young Togepi and smiled, laughing at how excited she was. "Oh really~? Can I come too? It sounds like a lot of fun." he replied in a gentle voice just as Lance attacked the Kirlia. Watching the battle out of the corner of his eye, Miguel stayed on guard in case a stray move should come his way and hoped that the Togepi and Lopunny weren't too easily scared. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] So the man was polite while facing him but the moment he had his back turned the man gave the cold shoulders. The true colours showed. But the silence didn’t answer Lances question. Now he would be left trying to figure out if the man really did dress that way all the time or not. Damn, how annoying this insignificant little warm was. No, no he wouldn’t lose his cool. He had to keep it calm in order to help himself earn his trust back with Felis. No, for now he would pay attention to the battle. The Sceptile went to turn, his eyes scanning for the reappearance of the Kirlia but not fast enough. The Psyshock had hit him on the side of the back, causing him to fall forwards a bit. “X-Scissor” Lance calmly commanded to Vipin. The grass type turned around, narrowing his eyes as he quickly crossed his arms jumped at the Kirlia getting ready to hit her with the bug attack. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The Lopunny looked a tad warily, yet the Togepi instantly grinned and waved her hands. "Pri!" she answered back ins omething along the lines of 'sure'. The Lopunny, unable to really argue, seemed to simply smile to herself a little and sighed beofre nodding her head as well. Alright, seeing as this man was kind....

The Kirlia was hit hard by the X-Scissor and cried out in pain before falling back in the grass. For a good few seconds, it looked like she wasn't going to get up. However, after that, she slowly shoved herself upwards and looked a tad weakly at the Sceptile. It seemed that it had scored a critical hit on top of the general type effectiveness to have scored so much damage. She whimpered a little to herself before slowly forming a Confusion Attack and retaliating.

By that time, the Lopunny had turned her head and was now staring rather horrified at the battle. Suddenly looking sharply at Miguel, she pulled the arm of the Togepi a little and shook her head backing up considerably and forcing the Togepi to as well. If two humans were in the area and in such close proximity, then they were most likely together now weren't they? Yes, that was all she could assume, and sure enough then and there the rabbit pokemon was on her guard.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel smiled sadly when the Lopunny backed away with the Togepi and looked over to the Kirlia, frowning considerably at Lance's cruelty before looking back at the Lopunny,"I am sorry miss Lopunny, but I am not with this man...I cannot stand seeing harm come to another Pokemon...if you'll excuse me..."he said in a sincere voice before standing up and walking calmly over to where the Kirlia was and stepping in front of her, drawing his sword as he did so. Looking at Lance with a rather determined, cold expression on his face he lowered his sword to his side, appearing, for all intents and purposes like he was open for attack when in all actuality, Miguel was on guard, ready for any attack that might head his way. "Enough of this...what do you have to gain from attacking her anymore? I refuse to let you harm her again...you've done enough already."Miguel said in a rather formal voice before looking down at the Kirlia, his expression changing from a cold, determined, anger to a kind, gentle expression and voice lowering to a gentle near whisper,"Go to the Lopunny and Togepi, I will be with you shortly and can see to your injuries then." [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

[scrolly:h(230),w(390),sy,as(padding:4px;margin-top:10px;margin-left:10px;)] Vipin was getting ready to end the battle when the confusion attack hit him, causing him to close his eyes as he took the attack. His head was pounding for a moment but luckily the pain soon went away, and he found himself straightening back up to attack the Kirlia once more. That was, until the human stood in front of her. He wasn’t sure if he should attack still or step back. Lance’s eyes instantly narrowed when Miguel stepped in front of his catch and blocked Vipin’s path. “How dare you interfere?” He growled, unable to hold back his anger. He had managed to withstand the way the man had wanted to deal with catching his own pokemon but when it came to interrupting his way… no, it was too much to just stay silent. “She is perfectly fine. I am showing her exactly what kind of power she can learn how to achieve after I catch her. Something someone like you wouldn’t understand. Now step aside.” His voice was low yet extremely stern and demanding. Somehow he had managed to make it appear as if he were looking down on the man blocking him from continuing the battle with the Kirlia. Lance would defiantly have to have a talk with Felis about this man later. There was no way he wanted the guy around his Rosa. The man clearly would make her weak and soft. Something he would never allow Rosa to become. She would be strong and powerful. An even stronger human being than himself. If this man didn’t remove himself from his catch, and if Felis didn’t agree to keep him from Rosa then Lance would make certain that Migual would be permanently removed. [/scrolly] [bg=black]

[Jay]

The Kirlia's eyes grew large as she found Miguel in front o herself, and for a few seconds, she hesitated unsure of exactly what to do. However, something in Lance's words had stirred in her, and after a few seconds, she moved to get around him. She would finish this battle even if she did lose. The Lopunny, on the other hand, was now quickly finding herself unnerved by both humans and had resolved to lead the Togepi away not wanting the child to be around such violence that she was assuming would come. With that, both the Lopunny and the Togepi began to move away quietly.

[atrb=background,http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/lilDiablo_/miguelmid.jpg] [scrolly:h(166),w(410),sy] Miguel looked at the Kirlia, surprised at the turn of events and sheathed his sword, seeing no need to retaliate if this is what the Kirlia did indeed wish. "I see...."Miguel said in a quiet voice, sheathing his sword as he watched the Kirlia's determination,"Forgive me...I will not interfere..." Backing away from Lance and the Kirlia, Miguel turned to see the Lopunny and Togepi walking away. Sighing, he released Grace and nodded towards the retreating Pokemon, explaining what was going on. Grace blinked upon being released and looked up at Miguel as he explained before nodding and going after the two Pokemon while Miguel followed rather slowly behind. "Diiiiii!" she called out to the two, hurrying to catch up to them before seeing the Togepi and <3 she was so adorable! <"Hi! Aww she's sooo cute! <3 Where are you headed?"> the Audino asked both the Togepi and Lopunny in a kind voice. [/scrolly]
