As he entered the main gate, Rosie's movements caught his eye and he smirked at the tireless Poke'mon. "Valiant as usual, I see Rosie?" He called in a greeting, nodding instead of waving due to his arms being preoccupied with the piggy-back ride.
He hadn't expected the door to swing open before he could get to it, causing Xav to pause until he noticed who it was. Smiling widely, Xavier turned his back and let Rosa slide off. "Special delivery~" He chimed, patting Rosa on the head before regarding Felis. "She just happened to be strolling by while I was in the garden... you're a very good dancer!" He looked at Rosa again. kneeling to be at her eye level. "Lets do that again sometime. eh? Perhaps without the rain bit." [/scrolly] |

He was the master of Forest Castle's gardens as he saw it and would tend to them no matter the weather! Speaking of which, the extra water from the rain was probably helping out the plants rather nicely.
As Xavier set Rosa down, Felis stepped out just enough to remain under the archway so as not to get wet. Rosa giggled quite a lot as she was set down and beamed back at Xavier. "Even the rain was fun! Oh! But we need hot chocolate! Come inside come inside!" Rosa grinned.
Felis watched this action and laughed lightly before looking up at Xavier. "Thank you for bringing her home~" he smiled gently. "And I think our little miss wants you to come inside and have some hot chocolate, heh. Would you like to come in?" [/scrolly] |

In truth, hot chocolate sounded simply marvelous at the current time, yet... he spread his arms wide, displaying the soaked mess he was currently. "I'd love to, so long as you don't mind a wet puppy for company." Xav mused, snagging his braid and wringing it, water falling from it like rain. He did have a change of clothes in his bag, yet considering the bag itself was also rather wet, he was unsure of the state of them. Not that Xavier wasn't used to damp clothes, but he didn't want to Muk the place up. [/scrolly] |

"That's what stone floors are for," he called back grinning to himself. Rosa turned her head a bit and nodded as well. Stepping back, Felis took hold of the door again and slowly opened up fully. "We can set you up with some towels and things too," the blond haired man mused lightly. Rosa had already started up inwards and suddenly seemed to race off to get the towels in the kitchen. "I'll get them!!!!" she called. [/scrolly] |

Stepping inside, Xavier tugged the hair-tie from his braid and combed his fingers through the now-freed hair, straightening it out somewhat. He observed Felis for a moment before nudging him gently with an elbow. "Has it been peaceful since the incident?" He asked, sliding a spar shirt from his bag and unbuttoning his current one, deciding to swap them while Rosa was fetching towels. He didn't want to appear indecent to the little lady, of course!

"Somewhat," he answered back shaking his head a little and casually eying Xav's hair outside of its normal ties. Meanwhile, Rosa was now searching around for the towels. Fining a few, she wrapped out around her small form and then picked up the other two before racing back with them. "I got them!" she called. [/scrolly] |

Xav had just pulled a fit white tank-top over his head; it usually served as a night-shirt, but it'd be fine for now while his other shirt dried. Smiling down at Rosa, Xavier took the towels with a polite bow, plunking onto onto his head for his hair while he rubbed his pants down with the second one. Fortunately the trousers didn't get too wet and were easily dried, Xav hanging the towel around his shoulders and began to ruffle his hair with the other one. Such a tedious process!
After a minute of this, Xavier combed his fingers through the locks to straighten them, taking a look around. Such a huge place, now that he was able to see it under normal circumstances. "Goodness me I'd have no idea what to do with all this room~" He mused, winking over at Felis. Shifting his attention to Rosa, Xav quirked a brow. "Lead the way my dear lady~" [/scrolly] |

Something else had come up, but... Felis wasn't going to bother the man with his troubles especially when Rosa was around to make things nice overall. Rosa was already on the move again and grinned nodding her head before taking hold of Xavier's hand and all but dragging him off towards the kitchen "This way!" she called leading the way. Felis chuckled a bit to himself and was at Xavier and Rosa's heels as they walked. Finally coming to the kitchen, Rosa looked back a moment before looking around quick for Joel. "Joelll!" was the call. [/scrolly] |

Joel was in the kitchen, ovens working overtime. Spaghetti was cooking on the stovetop, and he had cookies baking in the oven. Joel's idea for a large cake had been thwarted and burnt to an oversized mishapen crisp. But you could never go wrong with cookies, right?
The spaghetti was still cooking, but Joel was pulling out pans of cookies and putting them on the counter. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, chocolate and coconut, sugar; the chef definitely had something for everyone.
The man perked up hearing a familiar voice call for him. "In here, Rosa!" he called back. "And I have cookies!"
Off in the corner of the kitchen, Ella, his Slowpoke, lay sleeping. Likewise, on the far edge of the counter, was a very special batch of cookies. Joel's specialty, made with the sweet substance produced from a Slowpoke's tail.

As she led him into the kitchen, Xav turned his head and gave the blond a look indicating he'd like to talk later. How Felis deciphered it, he wasn't sure, but hadn't time to even ponder about it, seeing a familiar face.
A dull throb started up on the top of his head, Xav pausing to rub it. Ah, yes. This was the man that thwacked him on the noggin with a... wooden spoon, was it? Xav grinned sheepishly, waving at the man. "Why hello again! I uh... I trust things are well this eve?" He mused gently, offering a smile while mentally kicking himself. 'Keep it up and you'll end up with a brain tumor this time around.' [/scrolly] |

They'd probably talk later then. Rosa grinned as she finally caught sight of Joel, adn as he announced that he had cookies, she was literally bouncing on her heels grinning ear to ear. "What type of cookies?" she asked only to stop then and see Ella. Waving a quick hand at the Slowpoke, Rosa beamed at the water type before looking back at Joel.
As Xavier spoke, Felis blinked. Hu? Joel had met Xavier---oh duh. Felis might have considered face/palming had he not been already chuckling to himself about himself. " Joel~ If you have the chance, would you mind making some hot chocolate?" Felis mused after a moment.
Rosa, who suddenly snapped to the previous idea that that was what they were there for to begin with suddenly decided to add in her two cents. "Oh ya! Cookies and hot chocolate sounds good!" was the statement. [/scrolly] |

Joel grinned when he saw the three of them. "Felis, Rosa. Good to see the two of you," he said happily, then looked at Xavier. "How's your head?"
Joel pointed to the trays of cookies as he told Rosa what they were. "Chocolate chip, Peanut butter, Chocolate coconut, Sugar, Oatmeal Raisin, and my specialty: Slowpoke Candy Cookies." He smiled at the suggestion; dinner wasn't for a little while, so...why not?
"Sure thing." Quickly, the heavyset man disappeared to the pantry, then came back with the cocoa. In minutes, he had made three large cups, and a smaller one for Rosa. In what appeared to be a sugar dish, was really a bunch of tiny marshmallows.
Grabbing a cup and a cookie, Joel smiled. "Just like old times, eh, Felis? Cocoa and my homemade cookies~" He handed each of the others their cups and motioned to the cookies. "Help yourselves."

"Its reminding me not to get on your bad side." He winked before glancing around the kitchen. Was Joel always slaving at the oven? It seemed like it, haha.
At the mention of food Xavier put his hands up in front of him. "Oh I couldn't possibly -" He stammered, a low rumble from his stomach cutting off any humble rejection that he was spewing. His cheeks colored a tad and a single cough escaped his lips before he gently took one of the sugar cookies. "...Why thank you." He mused, mentally lecturing his stomach on proper etiquette.
Well this was certainly cozy! Xav smiled gently before looking at Rosa, tilting his head slightly. "Which is your favorite, ne?" He asked her, turning to glance at Felis as if including him in this question. It was simply curiosity... and perhaps notes for future reference. Wait wut? Pffbt... >>; [/scrolly] |

Finally pulling one of the Slowpoke candy cookies from the tray, Rosa inserted it into her mouth and burst into a fit of 'mmmm's. After a moment, her hands cupped some hot chocolate, and she began to sip and eat a bit more. "They're so good!" she grinned before slowly eying Ella. "So... they come from Slowpoke tails....sweet candy...." she mumbled to herself quietly.
Felis was fighting back a laugh but ended up chuckling a bit to himself at Joel's comment and Xavier's reply. After a moment, he took some of the hot chocolate and sipped it. "Yep just like old times," he laughed lightly before looking sideways at Xavier. "Joel's worked for the family for a good long while," Felis beamed ear to ear. At the question on which cookie was his favorite, Felis nearly smirked before slowly picking up one of the Slowpoke ones. "See this? It's Joel's amazing Slowpoke Candy cookies...they're simply to die for," he grinned before biting into one.

Joel chuckled, biting a cookie himself, then sipping some cocoa. "Yep. I've worked for the family since Felis was Rosa's age. And I wouldn't say to die for, but I do like my own cooking, I must say." He smiled a bit modestly, sipping more cocoa.
"My own special recipe. Took me years to perfect. Now, that's a staple in most of my desserts. Maybe one day soon I'll whip up a batch of Slowpoketail Delight."

Xavier hummed, glancing over at said Poke'mon where it lounged. "I dunno whatcha mean, that Slowpoke's tail is still intact." He joked with a wink. Obviously Joel didn't use ACTUAL Slowpoke tails... that was just silly and barbaric! And Joel wasn't silly. (Lol)
His eyes turned downwards towards Rosa, half-closing them in a feline-like smile at her antics. Damn, she was a cute kid. Xav didn't meet many children in Era (perhaps due to the crazy state of the country, who knows), so it was a pleasure to be in the little lady's presence. And to think she'll grow up one day...
Blinking, Felis roused him from his thoughts with his reply, Xav peering over at him with a coy smile. "Goodness me it sounds like a certain blond has a sweet tooth, hmmm~?" He teased, smirking at Joel. "I wonder if its genetics or all your fault?" He laughed, sipping from his mug. Oof, hot! [/scrolly] |

"The ends of Slowpoke tails produce a candy-like substance," he answered back looking at Joel with an easy smile. At the sweet tooth comment, all Felis could do was chuckle to himself. "Possibly a mixture of both," he answered back to the genetic and outside source question. Rosa's eyes were honing in on Ella. Mmmmm Candy tails :U.......Her green eyes slid sideways as though inspecting the men in the kitchen before returning to Ella. Slowly, she began to inch her way over to the Slowpoke. Mmmmmm candy...... [/scrolly] |

Joel was about to answer, but Felis got there first. All in all, the heavyset chef just enjoyed days like this, not that he could remember actually having a day like this.
"The taste of that substance is none like any other, and most of my sweets use it. So naturally, when I came back, my first order of business was to find a Slowpoke. Though, I must say not just for my recipes. I just love Slowpoke, I guess."
Ella lay sleeping, meanwhile, and paid no mind to anyone, especially not the little girl sneaking up on him. In fact, Joel didn't see her either.

It was already mentioned before, but damn, she was a cute kid. Xavier grinned before setting his cookie down, reaching forward to snake his arms under the girl's own, pinning her to his chest. "And where do you think yer going? Remember what I said about my father being an Ursaring? That makes me one too, awrrrr~" He jived, tickling Rosa gently before turning her to face him with a wink. "Slowpokes aren't for eating. ne." He laughed, patting her on the head.
After another bite of the fine baked goods (and boy were they FINE, Xavier felt like he hadn't eaten something so rich in years T_T), Xav hummed and looked over at Felis again, regarding the blond. He really did enjoy the atmosphere, but the 'Somewhat' reply from Felis was nagging at the back of his brain like a rabid fan-girl; it just wouldn't leave. coming to a resolve, Xavier turned his gaze to Joel and smiled. "Thank you very much for the treats, it is very appreciated." He began politely, dipping his head in a small bow of sorts. "However I would like to talk to Feli about some things..." He trailed off, raising a brow at Felis as an inquiry if it was a good time, [/scrolly] |

"H-hey! But but aw...." Rosa sighed a little shaking her head before smiling. "Fiiiiine," she sighed rolling her green eyes before looking back towards Ella. I'll get you later Slowpoke tail..... Rosa grinned to herself.
Felis, meanwhile, looked sideways at Joel and grinned nodding his head. Ah this was good~ However, at Xavier's comment, Felis's eyes shifted to him and then back at Joel again. "Ah.... Joel you wouldn't mind watching Rosa would you?" the blond haired man asked after a moment. [/scrolly] |
