What? They sleep in the same bed and let poor Ruka sleep with Noah?? The siblings both looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time as if they where reading each others thoughts. Both of them could not allow this even if it was Ruka's idea to start with. " Err Ruka?? I have a better idea.. I can just sleep out here on the couch. I don't mind at all. That way Noah can have the bed all to himself." Sarah said with a smile. Kurtis nodded before speaking, I can sleep out here on the floor, I don't mind at all. A billow is all I need." Kurtis said. If Ruka tried to protest the siblings would not change thair minds.

It may be a strange idea and she certainly wasn't any less nervous about it, but his agreement made things so much easier in her mind. However, upon hearing the suggestions from the other two, she immediately looked crestfallen. Hadn't she just talked about their comfort being the driving force behind her decision? And now they just wanted to throw her idea out the window? The decision that had taken her so much courage to actually state and they were going to try and stamp it into the ground...
Even as the tears slowly started to pool in her eyes, Ruka felt ridiculous. She should at least be trying to defend her idea, but they had stated so matter-of-factly that they'd do differently that her spirit was crushed. How was she supposed to fight them on this? Shaking every so slightly, almost unnoticably, she grit her teeth against the tears and held her Cleffa close to her chest. Said Baby Pokemon tried to reassure her with pats on the hand holding her, but it didn't look like anything was going to help.
"S-sorry," she managed to whisper, nearly needing to hiss it out completely to help fight the tears. Then she spun around, exiting the room in a rush and hurrying down the hall. The Buneary clung to her head, but the Riolu turned to glare at all three of the humans left in the room. This was not acceptable. It didn't really matter to her that Noah wasn't at all the cause, he was still there and thus he was also to blame. Emitting a light growl, she turned and -- with some comical effort due to her size -- left the room as well to follow Ruka's scent to the beach, where she sat huddled up next to the water's edge, her feet and bottom getting slightly wet thanks to the waves.

Orion had blinked a little surprised by Kurtis and Sarah's answers, and though he was about to say something along the lines of 'well ok then', his head had turned just in time to see Ruka's expression. Shit. He really... really disliked crying women, and crying people for that matter- maybe with one exception and that being completely justified in his mind. It just tore him up for reasons that Orion could never put to words. Whether it was empathy for the predicament or just sympathy in the moment, the prince never knew, but damn he did feel that. As Ruka suddenly apologized and ran out, he stared for a few seconds before watching the Riolu's expression and then her exit.
Green eyes slid to Kurtis and Sarah if only for a second before Orion was out the door as well. "Ruka! Hey Ruka wait up!" the prince called as he continued to run through the hallway, more or less following the Riolu, up until he actually came to the beach and caught sight of the woman. Slowing his quick dash, he slowly came close. Stopping just next to Ruka, Orion froze -unsure of what he wanted to do if anything. A part of him suddenly wanted to dash away as quickly as he had pursued the woman, yet he refused to do that. After a moment a tentative hand reached forwards and set itself on Ruka's shoulder. "H-hey..." he mumbled before forcing his voice to pick up a bit more. "Hey... hey it'll be alright...." he said trying to be encouraging.

Why was it such a bad idea? Well now they needed to do some fast thinking. Kurtis was the first to move of the siblings. He followed Noah staying behind him till they caught up with Ruka. he stood there for a moment as he tried to get his thoughts together. he had to make this right.. Sarah then came up to the group and looked at her older brother. The two looked at each other as if reading each others thoughts. Kurtis nodded and looked at Ruka. " I.. Ms Ruka, My sister and I did not mean to offend you. We will be happy to share a room together." Kurtis said trying his best to make Ruka happy again. He hated to see a woman cry even more so if he was the cause of it.
" Yeah now that I think about it, I'm ok with your idea. As long as every one else is." Sarah said trying to make Ruka feel better. She was the one that made it possible to come to this epic place in the first place after all.

Noah's approach was once again welcomed by a stare by the Riolu, but this time she was not so quick to jump to her feed in defense, instead just sitting near Ruka like the bunny. With the hand on her shoulder, Ruka slowly looked up and smiled weakly at the prince, nodding her head. "I... I'm sorry I acted that way. I'll still... share a bedroom with you, but I shouldn't have been so..."
She wasn't sure how to describe how she'd reacted so just went quiet. Then Kurtis spoke up, though, and it was fairly clear she wasn't aware they'd caught up until just that moment. Blinking in surprise, she listened and then chuckled softly. "You can sleep wherever you want. I... can see why it would be awkward. I just figured the floor or even a couch would be much less comfortable than a bed. If you are uncomfortable with the situation, though... it kind of defeats the purpose," she admitted.
"You can all figure out where you want to really sleep. I welcome any one of you to sleep... er, well... beside me," she murmured with a deepening blush. "Beyond that, it's... it's your choices. I'm really sorry about how I acted. I just... it was... I-It took a lot of... of courage to voice the plan and... and I felt... I guess, that you had told me the plan was stupid. I-I know it's not... exactly what you said. I-It doesn't matter; just that I'm sorry. S-so... we should... go get our Pokemon massaged once we make that choice, yes?" Poor awkward Ruka... rambling on and on with just the barest bit of coherency. [/scrolly] |

As Ruka smiled up at him, Orion managed a smile back down at her. "It's...fine..." he reassured with a nod though he really wasn't sure that it was. It was clear she had been upset, and well... how was someone supposed to say that was ok? Erhm... "And that's still fine with me," he stated realizing that he hadn't finished all of the reply that was in his head, somehow. It was only as he said this that Orion heard the sound of someone speaking behind him. Looking back to find Kurtis and Sarah there, he blinked surprised to see them there. He knew that he had taken off running, bu somehow the idea that they had caught on to the same idea was much more foreign to him. After a few seconds, he let out a soft sigh though what for he wasn't quite sure.
As Ruka started to explain or ramble, rather, he looked back at her and couldn't help but look confused. For whatever reason in the spew of speech that had sprung forth, he had lost some something in translation. Doing his best to try and go over what had just been said, he got the basis of it at the very least. "Uhm.. right," he agreed standing up fully again and stretching his arms up before extending one to Ruka to help her up if she wanted.

But he stood there as Ruka spoke taking in every word she said. For now on if Ruka suggested something he would agree, for not wanting to make her cry again. Kurtis nodded and looked over at Sarah who was smileing weakly but was also nodding. Sarah then walked over to Ruka after she stood back up and took her by the arm and smiled happily at her. " Ok, now this is done and over with lets go unpack and have some fun!" Sarah said laughing and started to take Ruka back with her to the room. Mean while Kurtis stood there as he watched his sister more or less drag Ruka away. Kurtis then sighed and started to walk back to the rooms. He wanted to say something to Noah but it was not his place to do so.. he just hoped the young man would treat Ruka with the respect she deserves when they go to sleep tonight.. But he seemed to a good man so Kurtis felt he did not have to worry. [/scrolly] |

When offered a hand to help her stand, she was quick to take it and smiled at him before brushing the sand off herself. The other girl promptly grabbing her arm caused the woman to blink in surprise and blush lightly. "O-oh, of course," she agreed and smiled brightly. As she started to be dragged along, her Riolu scooped up the Cleffa -- albeit quite awkwardly, given the rather small size difference -- and hurried after with the Buneary close behind.
The woman did glance back once toward the men but focused on keeping up with Sarah. Once they got back, though, she brought her things into the bedroom and unpacked her things into one of the dressers and put her toiletries next to one of the sinks. She was quite amused by the double-sink counter; it was adorable! However, she didn't fawn over it too long before she'd start offering to help the others unpack if they needed. At that time, she also took a moment to return her Pokemon to their Pokeballs, letting them rest a bit before they might go through an evolution. [/scrolly] |

Orion kept his smile up until Sarah seemed to have some surprise energy and quickly dragged Ruka off. Blinking surprised, the prince's head turned to follow after for a little before he turned and started walking. Just as he did this, he caught a look from Kurtis and blinked. What the heck was that for? Shesh. Frowning, Orion mentally muttered something to himself and simply made a point to head back to the room as quickly as possible.
As he got back, the young man quickly went through his bag and began to set up just a bit. Though only a few years ago, he might have been overbearing and putting his stuff everywhere, Orion wasn't that type of person now- if only because he had come to realize just how hard and annoying it was to gather up all of his things the next day when it came to traveling. It was certainly different than his trips as the crown prince, that was for sure. Putting what he needed to take out carefully away, he made sure to mentally go over everything so that he wouldn't lose any of it later.
When he had finished, Orion checked his pokeballs making sure he had the ones he was looking for- the ones that would evolve, of course. "Ready?" he asked looking towards Ruka and offering at least a decent expression that was very rapidly growing into excitement at the idea of evolution. This was going to be good. His team would be so much stronger! If the answer was yes, Orion was quick to head out the door. If the answer was no, he would wait around just a bit until it was yes.

This was going to be so much fun! Its been a while when she last went on a vacation. She even bought a new swimsute! After she was done unpacking she waited for the others. Kurtis did not have much ether, he just brought clothes and some swimmng trunks only becuse Sarah made him those for whatever reason. When everyone else was done he waited to see what everyone else wanted to do next. though it seemed clear that Noah and Ruka wanted to evolve their pokemon. When the young man asked if they where ready Kurtis smiled and nodded. "Yeah I guess so. Hey can I watch your pokemon evolve?" Sarah asked. [/scrolly] |

The moment they agreed that they were ready as well, she happily moved toward the door to head out. She stuck close to Kurtis so as not to arouse suspicion. After only a few moments of walking along, she turned toward the others and cleared her throat.
"Oh, um... Does anyone actually know where the massage parlor thing is?" She rubbed the back of her neck bashfully -- hadn't she arranged this? Why hadn't she grabbed a map or something? Surely that was in the main lobby and she'd just let it slip her mind. What a terrible event coordinator she was! And that thought made her remember her actual intentions of becoming a Pokemon Coordinator and her shoulders sagged a bit. Being bad at one kind of coordination -- no, probably two... she was a bit of a klutz -- made her inherently bad at other kinds... right? D: Oh dear, had she already failed in her dream? Well, it wasn't her main dream but... but... STILL! [/scrolly] |
