The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerBenji darted after the ball once again, stubby tail going ninety miles per hour and pink tongue lolling out the side of his maw. BallballballballBALL! was the only thought across his mind. He was gone quickly, those long legs carrying him fast and large paws kicking up dust. Oh boy, did he ever love this man. He was nothing like those stuffy people that Jen and the other humans were always around. This guy plaaayyyyed! Not like he was ever for lack of play, with the house and grounds keepers playing with him now and then, but they never lasted this long. Benji was in heaven here!
Jen looked back up to Lyall, smiling brightly. She nodded slowly, listening to the short story he told. "I can sure imagine! Very lucky of both of you, to find someone selling an Ice Shard. I've heard they were pretty rare." She continued to keep her hands busy with rubbing down and scratching Ri, admiring her soft coat. I want a Glaceon so badly now...A Glaceon and a Flareon. Or any of the other Eeveelutions...Or all of them. Jen wasn't hugely picky with them, but she did favor Flareon and Glaceon over the others. She seemed to become totally absorbed in petting Ri, until a sharp yelp snapped her attention away.
Jennifer stood sharply, gaze searching where Benji had disappeared off to, but being careful as to not be rude to Ri by letting go of her too quickly. "That sounded like Benji..." she mumbled, brow furrowing. Had the overgrown pup gotten into trouble? She'd hoped not. As if on que, the black and red-orange dog came barreling back, dripping wet, eyes huge. Jen backed up a step, afraid the dog Pokemon would jump on her. THAT WATER WAS COOOOOOOLD!! DD: Mean man splashed me with cold water!! Benji held a look of utter horror and dejection on his face, low ears and tail making the look that much more pronounced. "Oh, Benjamin, you're a mess..." She could already tell what had happened. Benji must have gotten in the way when someone was dumping the melted ice from their fish cooler. His slightly fishy odor was testimate to that. And, as if to add insult to injury, a couple of rain droplets splattered onto his skull cap, as well as another hitting Jen smack on the nose.
Jen crinkled her nose and wiped away the drop of water before taking out Benji's Pokeball. "Sorry, fella. I'll give you a nice warm bath when we get home, okay? Maybe some cookies after, if you don't drench the bathroom again." Keeping herself from giggling at the thought, she returned her puppy pal, hoping he would find the dry conditions within the orb to be better than the soon-to-be wet conditions outside it. At least she'd called him back before he shook all over Jen, Lyall, and Ri. That would have been awful... I know I should realize Time is precious It is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it'll be alright Have to stand up to be stronger

Lyall grinned a bit at Jen's words and nodded his head a bit. "Yep pretty lucky indeed," he answered back with an easy smile on his face. However, when the yelp hit his ears, the blue haired man found himself looking off towards it. Upon seeing the fire hound drenched in water and looking pretty well soaked, Lyall blinked in confusion for a few seconds. "Hu?" he had started as he watched Benji. Did he get slashed or maybe fell in? Lyall found himself looking back towards where the pup had come from.
Ri, who had relaxed even when Jen had stopped petting, seemed to turn her head to one side as she saw the Houndour. <I didn't think fire types did water ._. > she murmured to herself thinking that she might have been wrong somehow... Well... ok wait he looked distressed so many not.... yah.....
A water droplet hit Lyall on the forehead and trailed down his nose a moment before he reached up and wiped it away. Looking back and seeing Jen had returned her pup, he half smiled a little. "Looks like we might want to step under something or the rain's gonna get us," he chuckled a bit. Ri, who was far from pleased with her fur getting wet, had more or less started to curl herself somehow around Jen and was more or less trying to find a way to avoid the water.

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerJennifer continued to smile a bit, her fairly good mood untarnished by the aspect of rain. Being Western born, she was fully used to water and wet, so she was used to rain and even enjoyed it. Still, the pretty Glaceon twining around her legs to avoid getting wet told her that not everyone enjoyed the rain so much. She nodded a bit to what Lyall said. "Sounds like that may be a good idea," she said in agreement, keeping her tone light. Now...Were would be a good place to hide? The vendors prolly wouldn't let them under their booths and tents, and several of the overhangs seemed to already have people living up under them. Jen chewed her lip some, looking for a possible building to go into, but not finding many nearby. Sadly ,she didn't visit the markets much, so she didn't know the place very well..."Uhm...Do you happen to know a place we could go? I still don't know my way around the markets well..." she asked, the last part spoken with an apologetic tone.

"I think there's a restaurant around there somewhere. Hey want to grab a bite and get out of the rain at the same time?" he asked looking back at Jen. Ri, who was once again finding water droplets hitting her fur, already nodded her head. Yes, she'd like out of the rain now please. Snow was one thing but rain was just cold and went and .x.

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerJen pretended to think about the offer for a moment, though her mind instantly screamed 'YES'. Don't need him thinking I'm a chow hound or desperate, right? Yep, that was a usual worry for the pudgy noble woman. She often worried about what someone would think of her, to the point of being stupidly paranoid at times. Without much thought to it, Jen leaned down and attempted to pick up Ri finally. She really didn't want to trip on or step on the pretty Glaceon that was twinning around her legs, so this seemed to be the most logical choice. "That would be wonderful, thank you," Jen finally answered, looking to Lyall to lead the way.

Ri was very much pleased with being picked up fully and even effectively purred. Ah~ This was nice =^_^=. It didn't take but a short time for them to finally get there, and with that, Lyall took a seat down in a booth pretty easy. The water, who was more or less eying the Glaceon but then figured this could actually possibly be another ordering mouth to feed, seemed to snap to things and walked over. Asking for what they wanted to drink, the waiter then fell quiet. "Eh... just some kinda soda," Lyall answered back with. The waiter nodded and asked what Jennifer wanted to drink before taking the order and walking off to get said drink. "So do you live in the city or are you a traveler?" Lyall asked pretty casually continuing the conversation. [/scrolly] |

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerJen wasn't so used to such a quick response from a waiter, so she choked on her words a bit, quickly saying something about wanting a lemonade. Didn't even get a chance to sit, wow... She did finally sit in the booth, across from Lyall and placing Ri in her lap. She seemed to greatly enjoy almost cuddling Ri, but did allow the Glaceon the option of sitting on the booth instead of the noble woman's lap. Jen looked back to Lyall at the question, smiling a bit. "I live just outside of Orion City with my parents. It's a nice area, really." She really didn't feel the need to elaborate that her family owned a rather large hunk of land in the area. It wasn't a nice thing to brag or flaunt, and it was in fact an ugly thing to do. "How about you? Do you live locally?" She almost sounded hopeful that he did, or that he at least lived in the West. It would be nice to have a new friend, especially one that could be easily visited.

Ah the comforts of a lap! She loved it truly, and because of this, the ice-fox-cat-thing began to purr gently. Lyall grinned a little and seemed to nod his head. Ah, he had a general idea where Orion was, heh. "I live around the capital area, but I have a few bars I tend to look after around this area," he explained. [/scrolly] |

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerJen seemed to instantly relax more as soon as Ri started purring. So much so that she smiled genuinely and began petting the Glaceon again. At Lyall's grin, her face warmed a bit, not too badly. So, he lives near the capital? Such a busy place! The mention of bars got her attention a bit as well. "Look after, like a bouncer? Must be hard." She sounded curious about this, but she knew she shouldn't push personal matters too much. Is there a difference between a bar and a club? she wanted to ask. Jen had never been in a bar before, so she wasn't sure about it. And she hadn't gone near a club since that terrible first go. A tiny shiver ran down her spine, but she did her best to muscle it down.

"Nah not a bouncer, just a general manager," he explained. [/scrolly] |

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerJen blinked. Oooooh, so that's what he meant! She smiled, still stroking and petting Ri. Gah, she really, REALLY needed to get a small cute Pokemon to snuggle and cuddle like this. Benji was good for that usually, but he wasn't going to be a puppy forever. "Oooh...Still, managing more than one place? That must keep you pretty busy, I would imagine." Of course, Jen didn't know much about working life, if anything at all. She was the daughter of a Count; that was her 'job'. Kinda of a weak excuse, if you ask me... she thought dryly about that. "Uhm...Is there a difference between a bar and a club?" Yep, she finally had to ask, her curiosity finally getting the better of her.

Between working late nights at the bars and being up early to deal with other rebel talks and then dealing with his own gang, Lyall had only a bit of time if ever. Then again, he liked the busy life when he really thought about it. It kept him going and made him feel like he had ... well a purpose for lack of a better word, when it came down to it.
At the question between the difference between a bar and a club, Lyall blinked. "I wanna say clubs are more selective and generally bigger than just regular bars," he answered back then reminding himself that he had been wanting to expand the one that he had in Party Central of Central Capital and needed to make plans to do that sooner or later. "They also tend to have wilder parties," he grinned and chuckled to himself again. [/scrolly] |

The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be strongerJen nodded, taking this information in. So...A bar wouldn't be like that nightclub she went to? Calmer? Not like everyone suddenly lost all their morals and acted like they'd been raised by Pokemon? Something ticked at the back of her mind, reminding her that some Pokemon WOULD make better parents than some humans. I realize this, Burk. But, that ~is~ kinda rude to monitor my thoughts and conversations like that. <Just looking out for you, as always.> Jen had to smile mentally, knowing that's what Burk did. That's what he always did. She stroked and cuddled Ri more, as her constant affection giving had faltered while Burk was making contact with her from his Pokeball.
Blinking a few times, Jen gave a thoughtful smile. "Well, if bars are different, is there any chance I might visit one of the ones you looks after?" A slight blush tinted her cheeks, and she hurriedly added, "Not that I drink or anything! I'm too young for that. I just like getting out now and then." Of course, her cheeks only got more pink as she quickly shushed herself. Ah, crap. I just let on that I'm under 21...Good job, twit. <Stop degrading yourself.> Mreh... To distract herself, she glanced to where the waiter had disappeared off to. Did it usually take this long to bring out a soda and a lemonade?
(ooc;; ''XD In this thread, Jen's still 19. Next time Lyall sees her, if ever, she'll be 20. Yay for liquid time!) I know I should realize Time is precious It is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it'll be alright Have to stand up to be stronger

So, she was too young to drink ._. mkay. Now he wondered how old she actually was. Mentally shrugging it of, he finally just nodded his head. "Ya you could drop by sometime or something. I have a bar or two in Party Central in the Capital along with one here in Wharfenfair; though this one gets looked after a lot by people I hire," he explained.
Ironically enough, though he had jumped the gun on asking for orders, the waiter had taken his sweet time on coming back. However, he was now coming back at least and set the drinks down before asking if they were ready to order anything. Lyall blinked and shook his head. Woops, forgot to be looking, heh. [/scrolly] |

Besides, I've not visited the Capital in a while, so that would be a good excuse to." By the time the waiter had come back with the drinks, Jen gave him a polite smile and said 'thank you' to him. And she politely declined when he asked if she wanted to or was ready to order anything else. Jen took a thoughtful sip of her lemonade, seemingly pleased with her choice of drink. Ahh, that was nice~ Both sweet from sugar and sour from lemons and just overall tasty.
"Soooo...." She tilted her head ever so slightly. "When you're not looking after bars, what do you do with your down time?" Jen hoped she wasn't being nosy; she was trying hard to not let an awkward silence formed.
