What He Wouldn't Do [Elayne/Mod]

[Jay]

A continuation of This

A light shimmered brightly before dissolving into three figures. After several quick short stops, the Gardevoir had managed to get her trainer and his friend to the place that he had mentally told her to go to- The Ruins of Origin. They had happened to come across the place on accident a few months back, but it had only came back to Haiiro upon seeing Elayne's less than happy mood. A part of him doubted that this would lighten her mood, but he wanted to try, at least.
"I... fell into this place a bit ago..." he said quietly rubbing the back of his neck fora few moments. "But.. take a look around..." They had teleported into the very center of the library, where the sole spire that stuck out from the ground could be seen overhead. Placed on the ground were various symbols on the floor reflecting something ancient in nature. Being on the first floor of many, one could easily look up and see the various other sections of the fantastic library. Haiiro was quiet waiting to see if this would help take her mind away from... what she had been thinking about....

What was Haii thinking...surely he would-...... Elayne's thoughts were cut short when she saw where they had gone, eyes wide with obvious delight. She had never seen so many books in all her life and...he had brought her here...of all places... For a few moments Elayne just stood there, mouth open, gaping at all the books around her before a squeal escaped her and she more or less glomped Haii. "This place is amazing! How did you find it?"Elayne exclaimed before releasing him and bending down to trace some of the symbols on the floor. She had seen these somewhere before...but where... Standing up again, Elayne walked over to the nearest bookshelf and ran her hand over the spines of the books. There was just so many of them...she didn't even know where to begin...[/scrolly]

At the question, he managed to recuperate quickly enough and smirked a little. "I travel a lot," was the answer he gave back with. There was no way in hell he was going to explain that his curiosity had nearly cost him his legs when he went crashing in, but yeah... As she released him and began to go over the symbols on the floor, Haiiro looked down at them. He saw no significance in them at all and mentally shrugged it off. As Elayne hurriedly got up and started towards the books, he smirked a bit more and set his hands in his pockets. "Careful with the books... they're pretty old from what I can tell.." What? No Haiiro didn't care about books >>; He was just... saying that because, yeah... Following after Elayne, Haiiro found himself thankful he had thought of this place quick enough.....it was a good way to change the conversation. [/scrolly]

She should have guessed...Haii never seemed to stay still for very long. Carefully pulling out a book, Elayne turned the pages to see if she could read any of it. Hearing Haii's words, Elayne chuckled softly and shook her head,No, really? Whatever gave you that impression?"she teased, sticking out her tongue at him before going back to the book,"I can tell just by how they feel that they must be centuries old... It's surprising they've held up this long and that they're even legible..."[/scrolly]

Walking down an aisle and looking at the various books, he stopped a moment. "You should come traveling with me some time," he said before sticking his finger into the crevice of a book shelf and pulling out a book upon retracting his finger. Book met gloves, and blue eyes scanned over the cover. He had no idea what the book said considering the language was so obscure, but he assumed it meant something. Setting it back up again, he began to slowly walk around again. "I don't like staying in one place too long.." [/scrolly]

"I just... I can't... as much as I want to I-..."Elayne attempted to explain before shaking her head again and focusing more on the book she was holding. She was tired of being scared to set foot out of the castle...but...after what happened with Simeon, Elayne had more or less sequestered herself to her room. It was only the fact that she was with Haii right now and that Simeon couldn't possibly think that she would be here of all places. Besides that Simeon thought that libraries were boring so he would hardly want to come here to begin with. Hearing Haii speak again, Elayne returned her attention to him and smiled slightly,"I've noticed that..."she replied before giving a half-laugh of sorts,"I like to travel too..."Well...that was partially true. She really did enjoy travelling and seeing the different sights Era had to offer... Just...she wished she didn't have to move around so much to avoid getting caught...or run into Simeon....or someone similar to him...[/scrolly]

That didn't mean his ears and attention weren't still on her, though, quite the opposite. As she continued on about her own love of travel, Haiiro smirked a little and began to shift through the books. "There is always something new to see. Even if you've seen something that looks familiar, it's not, and there are a plethora of pokemon here..." The word 'plethora' rolled off of Haii's mouth oddly, and he deadpanned for a few seconds knowing that he was somehow pronouncing it wrong. It was one of the reasons that he preferred to keep things to himself. Talking just incited others to notice something about him. [/scrolly]

Everything looks so different each time you visit and it never gets old,"she replied easily,"Seeing all the different Pokemon really is something else too. Sometimes when I have the time I love to just sit and watch them all play. It's how I got the ideas for some of my drawings..."she continued before replacing the book and looking along the shelves once again. [/scrolly]

"Down in the Orre, there very few places that you can catch any pokemon," he said as he shifted through the books. "I was lucky enough to come across Steel. I was given Shadow, and every other pokemon I have is from here," he explained as he stopped and slowly pulled out another book before flipping it open and looking down at it. [/scrolly]

[Victor Von Doomstein]

The two humans reading and discussing whatever issues they may discuss, at surface, seemed to be the only activity within the expansive library. Of course, it could not possibly be so. As small, inconsequential and certainly not extraordinary bugs skittered along the aged halls, Pokemon stirred.

A sullen Cubone, bone resting at its side, looked at the two from afar. He felt he already knew the result of their meeting. He felt that these two would immediately dismiss him upon arrival, and would flee off to somewhere else. It's not like he'd blame them. The orphaned Pokemon continued to mope, making a few, hardly audible whines.

Meandering along some empty shells was a particularly different Vulpix. This particular Vulpix was different in the sense that he was, well, colored differently. His fur was colored in a resplendent gold, and he carried with him an air of.. actually, dirtiness. Yes, the Vulpix shone in the darkness. However, this shine was obscured by his matty, long fur, which was covered in dirt. He smelled as though he'd gone through some sort of freshly discovered burial tomb (not that he ACTUALLY went through one, and even given the opportunity the guardian spirits keeping the burial tomb's treasures safe from daring fortune seekers would keep him away due to intolerance of stench). Gratuitous descriptions aside, yes, this Vulpix reeked. He found a comfortable area in a bookshelf to sit and observe his surroundings, particularly the two humans.

Finally, somewhere within the noteworthy expanse of bookcases sat a studious Medicham. The noises she left behind were not of her own cry, but rather, of the crisp sound of aged pages flipping. She was left rather undisturbed by the arrivals, and kept to whatever she'd been reading the whole time. It was clear that she was not attempting to hide her presence, as the page turning could be very easily heard several bookcases away.

Lily was given to me as my supposed first Pokemon and Skye...he was the first Pokemon I caught in a battle. It was a surprise to run into him really, I had never seen a Dratini near my home before..." Elayne's attention was drawn from Haiiro the moment she heard the Cubone cry. Considering she had several hatchlings of her own, Elayne was more sensitive to the cries of a Pokemon and knew all too well when one was attempting to keep from crying. Scanning her surroundings with a worried expression on her face, Elayne's eyes fell upon a distant form which, upon closer observation she could just barely discern to be the form of a Cubone. Glancing at Haii briefly only to see that he was looking at a book at the moment, Elayne started to walk towards the small form only to find that the poor Pokemon was in fact a Cubone. Kneeling down near the Cubone, Elayne reached out a hand to pet the poor thing, smiling gently,"Hey there little one..."she whispered gently,"Don't cry..."[/scrolly]

"And will sometimes hand them out if ya do work for her," he explained as he scanned over the bindings of the book and continued to look at the various symbols. Suddenly feeling eyes on him, he looked sideways to see Elayne staring before she looked towards something else and headed over to it. As his eyes followed her basic direction, he found himself staring not at the pokemon she was walking towards but her necklace from the back. Her hair was in just enough of a different position to where he could see it. From all the times he'd seen her, she'd had it on, and a part of him wondered why. Maybe she just liked it or something. That was usually the case with wear. After a moment of realizing how stupid it was to dwell on the subject, he shook his head and turend down a different aisle only to stop upon finding the Medicham. Blinking at the studious looking pokemon, Haiiro ended up turning his head and looking towards the books that were in the aisle as well. "Ah, sorry," was all that escaped from him though he wasn't sure exactly what he was sorry for at the moment. [/scrolly]

[Victor Von Doomstein]

The Cubone reacted rather.. poorly, to the offer. He shrunk away, his back clinging onto the wall. Rather than perceive it as any sort of welcome, he saw it as a taunt, some sort of ironic gesture of kindness. Brandishing the bone in front of him, he tried to keep her back. "Cu..." The most he could manage was a growl, in an attempt to intimidate her away. He'd heard from many, well, not DIRECTLY heard from them; rather, eavesdropped, that many a family or a Pokemon had been stolen away from this home by humans seeking either knowledge or an addition to their party. The hostile gesture he made was likely half-hearted, and he ended up grasping his bone in both his hands, as though he were attempting to hide behind it.

The Vulpix tilted his head at the display curiously, yawning quietly, dirtied paw hovering over his open mouth.

The Medicham put a finger over her lips and 'shushed' Haiiro as he attempted to apologize. Both of her eyes were shut as she let the book go, it suddenly floating at her side. She put her hands together, clasping them as she concentrated. Slowly, words began to escape her lips. Her voice was pronounced, careful, and eloquent, sounding as though she were a human herself. "Often humans pass here for either one of two things: knowledge, or Pokemon to capture. Occasionally, it may be both. Which one do you seek, should it be either?" She gradually opened her eyes as she spoke, focusing on Haiiro. "It is clear that you have not come alone, yet I feel there is no malicious intent in your partner. Am I to believe that you, too, share this intent?"

I'm not going to hurt you..."she replied gently before pulling out a pokeball,"In fact...I have a friend who would love to meet you,"she continued before releasing Ellery, her shiny Bunvee. Ellery had been taking a nap inside his pokeball when he realized that he was outside now. Blinking sleepily, the hybrid looked up to see a Cubone who appeared to be attempting to hide behind his bone. Concern was very evident on the young hybrids face as he slowly stood up and padded over to the Cubone. <"Are...you all right...?">Ellery asked quietly,<"What's wrong...h.have you been crying...? D: What happened oh please tell me."> Elayne watched as Ellery spoke to the Cubone when she caught sight of movement out of the corner of her eye. Well...she could tell by the shape of the creature that the Pokemon was a Vulpix but...even from this distance Elayne could tell that it was far from clean if her sense of smell could be trusted. Not wanting to leave the poor Cubone's side just yet, Elayne pulled out another pokeball and released Raine, her Dratini as well as Skye's daughter. It was the first time that she had really released Raine without her father by her side and Elayne was curious as to how the Dratini would act. Raine appeared a short distance from the Vulpix and immediately wrinkled her nose in disgust and shook her head,<"Ewwwww you reek....">the Dratini stated rather bluntly,<"What did you do? Roll in dung or something....">she asked, the fact that she was in a massive library completely escaping her attention for the time being.[/scrolly]

Looking sideways back at the Medicham as she spoke, he was quiet for a few seconds making sure she had finished whatever she was going to say before replying. His voice came low, as though trying to avoid any chance that Elayne might overhear. "I....brought her here because..." For a brief moment, Haiiro's face went scarlet, and his eyes shifted away as he racked back his emotions. "She likes books, and I wanted to see her happy again...." he finished for a brief moment before looking back at the Medicham again, his face back to its original color. "I ..." he started but didn't know what he was trying to say and ended up falling silent as a result. "I have no intention of doing anything but ...." What did he even intend to do besides .... watch her be happy? Sure he could look through the books, but Haiiro was never one to spend time reading or studying. He preferred doing things most of the time and liked working with his hands when h could. Sure he could catch pokemon, but he still had others to train still. However... he .....just....she........yeah.... [/scrolly]

[Victor Von Doomstein]

The Cubone still remained wary to the Bunvee, possibly even hostile. This could be evidenced by his growling, his words of, <You're.. you're not going to get to me!>, or, most likely, the fact that he just attempted to flog the hybrid with a Bone Club. Unfortunately for him, he missed his target narrowly and simply slammed his bone against the hard floor of the library. It only looked as though he were attempting to attract MORE attention towards himself, as it seemed he was just throwing a tantrum more than anything. <I know what you're going to do! I sa- I heard it happen!> One could attribute his behavior to two things: he was legitimately afraid of being kidnapped, as all those stories seem to very vividly inform him, or he just never made it a point to learn proper social skills. The latter seems more likely.

The Vulpix simply turned his head away from the Dratini, maintaining a strange amount of poise in spite of himself. <Of course you wouldn't understand. You haven't lived here your whole life, you haven't seen all the stuff I've gone through.> He shook his fur for a moment, letting more small particles of dust and dirt fall off to his sides. <Just seen a lot. That's all.> He sat back down and eyed the Dratini, somehow appearing to be legitimately offended, as though he was unaware of his own filth. <So, what's your story?>

The Medicham listened to Haiiro attentively, slowly bringing her book back towards her and re-opening her eyes to start reading again. After hearing him explain his reasoning for being here, she paused and put a hand over her lips, laughing quietly. "Hmhmhm. I see. There is a first for everything. First I have seen humans, I have seen humans battling, and now I have seen a trainer spend time with another in what.. hm, what do they call it?" She pointed her finger toward a rather large-looking dictionary off in another bookshelf. Oddly enough, it had actual, readable English inscribed on its binding.

The scholarly Pokemon dropped the book she held gently on the ground and, with a certain amount of grace, hopped up to the appropriate shelf and carefully pulled out the dictionary. Climbing down the shelves, she stood at her previous position and flipped through the pages for a moment. "..ah, that must be it. A.. date, do humans call it?" She shrugged, dismissing it, and put the dictionary down at her side, returning to her first book. "Very well. I see no reason for you to act with any hostility, especially given your rather.. tender, intentions." The Medicham smiled briefly before entering into some sort of yoga-like stance, holding the book outstretched before her with one hand, her other arm pointed out into the opposite direction.

Wincing at the sound, Elayne debated whether or not to speak up when she saw Ellery offer a berry to the Cubone and smiled. Ah yes, he was a sweety...part of the reason why she had chosen to bring him out versus some of her more rambunctious Pokemon. For the time being though Elayne would simply watch and see what would happen. Raine rolled her eyes at the Vulpix's initial response and shrugged,<"Yeah I know I haven't seen what you've gone through but....you do kinda smell...and I can't even see the color of your coat hardly anymore,">she explained before the Vulpix shook himself off. Jumping out of the way of the dirt, Raine fought the urge to shudder at the sight of the filth before hearing the Vulpix's question and brightening slightly,<"Oh well, I was hatched by Elayne and am travelling with my Dad to get stronger and-...">Raine began before trailing off as she finally caught sight of all the books around her. Eyes growing wide, Raine darted to the nearest book and nosed the cover open, <"Oh wow! You get to live here with all the books and and everything!?"she asked in an excited voice, scanning the book briefly before looking up at the Vulpix with something akin to wonder and/or awe.[/scrolly]

However, as she began to speak and explain what it was she saw, Haiiro looked confused up until he looked towards the book she had pointed to. He probably would have retrieved it for her if she hadn't gotten up and gotten it herself. As she finally finished the statement, Haiiro's face burned. Looking sideways and away from the Medicham, he reached up and set a hand on one side of his face. That wasn't... exactly what it was, no of course not. However, as the Medicham continued, he managed to calm a little and looked back towards the psychic pokemon. "She's... just a friend..." he replied quietly feeling his face heat up again. Damn it. He'd just wanted her to stop being sad, that was all. It...it wasn't that kind of date...it.... Then why was his heart suddenly pounding? Haiiro groaned a little but said nothing. Shaking his head, he looked towards the Medicham, nodded, and then slowly started to walk back towards Elayne. She was just a friend. She was just a friend. She was just a friend. [/scrolly]

[Victor Von Doomstein]

The Cubone saw the friendly offering of the berry as a method by which the Bunvee could further cement deceptive flattery. Regardless of the hybrid's true sentiments, the lonely Pokemon continued to feel as though he was being set up for a fall. He could only glare down at the thing, seeming poised and ready to just smack the thing out of the creature's hand and club his head in with a bone. However, for whatever reason, the Cubone dropped his club and hesitantly snatched the berry away from Ellery's hand. The moment after he took it, he just stared the berry down, as though expecting it to blow up in his face. It was quite a contempt-filled stare.

The Medicham giggled once more. Anyone could really determine the man was, in some way, faltering. "Hm, just a friend." In spite of her excitement, she maintained her still yoga pose. "I would recommend that you at least attempt to feign calmness. To exhibit any visible reluctance may dissuade her from being as happy as you would like her to be. Certainly, I would feel dissuaded." She resumed to reading her book, nodding in reply to Haiiro.

The Vulpix shook his head. He smugly shut his eyes, sitting straight and putting a paw over his chest. <Please, it's nothing. I'm sure there are a lot of Pokemon like myself who grew up here and left with similar adventures. I've had to defend this sacred library against countless intruders who, um, doored to intrude and attempt to.. er, filch the books.> Sure, he made a few mistakes here and there, but he was certain he got the message through. This guy's obviously a seasoned adventurer.

The Cubone was just scared after all and the Bunvee was doing the best he could to cheer the poor thing up. When the Cubone took the berry and proceeded to glare at it, Ellery couldn't help but laugh, <"You silly~, it's not going to bite you or anything,">he laughed before motioning for the Cubone to eat it. Taking the last berry from his stash, Ellery showed the Cubone that it was in fact the exact same type of berry he had before eating it with a quiet mmmm hoping that this would encourage the Cubone to eat his as well. Elayne watched the interaction between the two with a gentle smile on her face. It seemed that Ellery had at least managed to calm the Cubone down, that was good. Hearing footsteps coming towards her, Elayne looked up to see Haii approaching and smiled, waving at him before returning her attention to the two Pokemon. Raine's eyes grew even wider as the Vulpix explained that he had to protect the library. ...that was probably why he was so dirty now that Raine thought about it but still...how did one Pokemon get that dirty to begin with. Giggling slightly at his mistakes at the end of his statement, Raine nodded and smiled at the Vulpix.<"That's awesome~,">Raine replied in a cheerful, awe-filled voice,<"You sound really brave...like a...a hero!">[/scrolly]
