It should have been simple enough to say 'leaving isn't going to get you anywhere' or 'I'm sure he'd defend you or something', but these words didn't feel genuine. Leaving would stop the threats or whatever came. She could always run away. That was obvious. The second, he wasn't een too sure of anymore. Haiiro himself had simply left home much to the distress of Saiyo, and he knew damn well that he'd done that out of spite to family, so ... there shouldn't be a full difference between family and other people.... or was there? Meh.....
Deciding to break off these thoughts and the silence that he had been inflicting because of it, Hai sighed out. Though he had initially been about to say something different, Hai found words coming to him. "Who the hell would hurt a duke?" he asked raising his eyebrow. With that being said, Hai nearly face/palmed. For all his general 'equality' and 'decision of power via strength of battle', he'd fallen for a moment into an awkward status centered quota. "I mean... battle is one thing but...." and thus he only continued to confuse himself and fell silent again. [/scrolly] |

When Haiiro finally did speak, Elayne was relieved even if the question was a little troublesome ... even still, she would do her best to answer it,"I don't know who would hurt Felis but ... . Haiiro, I told you about the reward my mother put out for me right, well ... that caused several people to chase after me as you well know. Though not all of them were seeking to take me back home ... there was one girl in particular that got me to trust her shortly after the reward was first put out and I didn't know about it. One day there was ... a group of thugs waiting for me ... the girl ... she had sold me out and ... if it wasn't for Elly I might have been captured and God knows what else,"she replied quietly, taking a deep breath before continuing,"If they were willing to do that with me ... the daughter of a countess, what are they willing to risk to get to Felis ... . I'm just thankful that Felis has Miguel, that's his knight, to protect him plus his plethora of Pokemon."
After finishing speaking, Elayne fell silent for a time and watched Haiiro for a time before the silence became almost unbearable,"You ... want some hot chocolate ... tea ... or something?"[/scrolly] |

Someone had sold her out just to-- to get money. Honestly, he wasn't surprised. People did a lot of things, and robbers and thieves had always been a part of his life, seeing as for most of it he had been down in the Orre. People did anything and everything they could to get enough money to get by, and Pyrite, the home of the famous Duel Square, was one of the worst places known for trickery. Oddly enough, that had been where he had spent the bulk of his time, heh.
He hadn't even realized he had allowed the air to fall silent again until Haii heard Elayne speak and ask if he wanted anything. Blinking a moment, he reached a hand up and set it on the back of his neck. "Yeah... do you have coffee?" he asked knowing that wasn't one of the things just offered but assuming that, given this castle probably had everything, it would be there.
"She was a bitch, by the way," he stated after a moment, referring to the girl that had sold Elayne out. "If you make friends for a damn purpose, especially lie that, it's never friendship," he muttered dryly. This thought had actually only come about long after he had made friends with his pokemon... At first .. he had been more of a slave driver....but, when he allowed failure.. when he was able to actually show sympathy for his pokemon, he realized this. Thus, they became his actual friends.

Biting her bottom lip, Elayne looked down at the ground and relaxed her shoulders looking utterly defeated,"Yeah ... I know ... . I keep telling myself that but ... it still doesn't keep it from hurting ... I mean, we had traveled together for months and-,"she said in a quiet voice before her voice cut out as tears threatened to overwhelm her. Clearing her throat, she shook her head slightly,"I'll go make the coffee now ... ,"Elayne said quietly before walking towards the kitchen, grateful for the distraction if nothing else.[/scrolly] |

However, as Elayne started to walk away, Hai found himself standing and starting after her. He walked slower than her but keeping sight of her at least. "Elayne," he stated unsure of what exactly he was going to say after that. He wasn't going to apologize or anything, and he really wasn't good at anything consoling. Thus, he ended up simply speeding up and walking beside her. "...I'm sure you're safe here," he sighed. Well, that was one statement, at least... not exactly what he wanted to say -- though then again he wasn't even sure what he wanted to say so it was still better than nothing, one could guess.

His words did comfort her slightly ... of course Elayne knew that she was safe and would remain that way if she stayed with Felis at least for the time being. Moving towards the coffee pot, Elayne filled the container with water, her hands shaking all the while she poured it in. After she had gotten the coffee maker started, Elayne turned around and leaned on the counter, looking down at the ground,"I know that I'm safe ... Felis is great it's just- ... ,"Elayne began before her voice cut off and she leaned against Haiiro without really thinking about it.[/scrolly] |

As Elayne moved to the coffee pot, Hai stepped back and set his back and such against the island in the middle of the room simply watching. Blue eyes caught the slight shaking, but he had no words. As Elayne had turned around after she'd finished starting up the coffee, Haii stood up taller again just in time to find himself being leaned on. He didn't move. However, after a second, he sighed. "What?" was the question that was asked [/scrolly] |

It wasn't until the coffee maker started making noises letting her know that it was done that Elayne realized what she was doing and stepped back, a slight blush coming to her features as she turned around to serve the coffee that was done by that point. Trying to collect her thoughts in order to answer Hai's question, Elayne shook her head and sighed before turning and handing Haiiro a hot mug of coffee before warming her hands around her own mug. "I ... I don't know ... it's just ... I know I can't stay here forever and I guess part of me is afraid that something might happen ... ,"Elayne replied quietly before staring down at her mug, not sure what else to say.[/scrolly] |

He didn't move, just waited. This came with the sound of the coffee pot making a few sloshing noises as coffee hit the side of the pot. Finding a mug in his hands after a moment, Hai sipped it despite it being black. He would possibly have simply gulped it all in one swig if not for Elayne speaking and bringing his attention back to the situation.
The answer to his question was obscure. She couldn't stay there forever? Well, he understood that living with your relatives forever was kinda... >_>; meh.....Ok....but....Something might happen? The heck did that mean? A lot of things could happen, both good and bad.... He ended up taking another sip of his coffee thinking it over. When the thought finally hit him, Hai wondered if he was even making any sense anymore. "You think he'd betray you?" was the accidentally stern question that was returned. [/scrolly] |

Pouring said creamer into the coffee, Elayne stirred it with a spoon, almost dropping the spoon and subsequently her mug when Hai spoke up again."What ... ?! No, no of course not ... ! I just ... can't stay her forever ... I'm hiding and that's all there is to it but eventually Mother's going to find out and then I'll be forced back home away from him ... away from you ... ."[/scrolly] |

Woops. Guess he mistranslated that one >_>; Ah well... Realizing she'd asked about creamer, Hai changed the subject for a moment. "Nah, I drink my coffee black," he answered back before quickly taking another sip before relaxing again. "And..........ah...." he answered back slowly focusing more on 'away from him' rather than her last statement. Shaking his head slowly, Hai stared at Elayne. "You can always do something about it," he said a little sharper than he had meant to. Upon realizing this, he sweat dropped a little and shook his head. "You could just..... leave and start traveling again... or something...." he said a little more calm than before. [/scrolly] |

Hearing Hai speak again, she sighed and shook her head,"But then I'd just be running again ... and I'm tired or running. If she ever finds me again I'll just ... tell her no ... . Besides ... I can't just leave after all Felis has done for me ... when Ez left ...- ,"she said quietly before stopping suddenly and looking down at her coffee. That's right ... Haiiro didn't know about Ez ... , why would he ... she hadn't mentioned him the last time they'd met. Of course other things had been on her mind at the time but that was beside the point ... .[/scrolly] |

Ez? Who exactly... was that? Raising his eyebrow slightly, Hai slowly looked back down at his drink again finding that somehow it was already half gone by that time. Why did that name sound somehow familiar? Was... Remembering a battle with a young man and his Horsea, Haii blinked. Ah, that was... He didn't think there were many people with that name, but... better not to make any guess. Taking another sip, he looked back to Elayne. "Ez is....?" he asked raising his eyebrow again quietly.

Even after a few weeks since she had first told Felis it ... still hurt, "He ... he was my boyfriend ... ,"she began quietly, staring at her coffee mug as she continued,"Ez ... left a few weeks back ... . I ... haven't seen him since .... ." Of course this wasn't the entire story but it was clear at least that he had left suddenly and left Elayne's heart in shreds as a result. Feeling tears well up in her eyes, Elayne took a deep breath and held her mug closer to her in an attempt to hide the shaking that had returned to her hands as it always did when she was upset. "Sorry ... you didn't come to hear me talk about this ... ,"Elayne said quietly after a moment of silence. [/scrolly] |

The shaking had returned, and he noticed it. As she suddenly apologized, Hai had had enough and sucked in a good deal of air before stepping closer to Elayne. He didn't want to see her like this. Tentatively setting a hand on her shoulder that slid to her back and then to the other shoulder slowly pulling her into a sideways hug, Hai breathed out. His middle and ring finger of the hand that was still holding the cup had tightened, and his index finger rapped on the edge of the same cup quietly as he held it closer to himself and simply stood there. "I didn't mean to make you upset." [/scrolly] |

He didn't know what to say, damn it. No. It was not alright. -_-; She was one of those people he saw time and time again and -- er... She was a friend. He didn't want to make her cry. It was one thing to piss Xavier off. One: they were guys, and two: it wasn't like they didn't forgive each other at some point whether through fist fight or something, and it was another when it was making Elayne cry, damn it.
"But.... it doesn't feel over," he sighed more or less finishing Elayne's statement with what he thought was the correct phrase. He didn't have the know how to deal with such. He didn't date. He didn't generally watch any sort of tv, and thus, Hai was unprepared but somehow managing to pull out what he thought was right. It was hard ugh...... [/scrolly] |

After a time, Elayne shifted her mug so that she was holding it with one hand and wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled slightly away from Hai,"Enough about that though ... ,"Elayne said in a more cheerful voice as she smiled slightly despite herself,"What's new with you?"[/scrolly] |

After a second or so, he finally shrugged his shoulders. "I ended up finding another human friend," he stated if a bit awkwardly. It was hard to place the words that he rarely used, damn it. "His name's Xavier, likes battling as much as I do... we clash a bit but..." he shrugged a little and managed a smirk. "Don't make friends that easy if you haven't realized," he finished this thought childishly sticking out his tongue for a brief moment before retracting it quickly and mentally face/palming at himself. He was not childish enough to do that, damn it -x-'. Ah well......<_<;. In another second, his face was a bit more serious than before, at least. [/scrolly] |
