Tenth Punch

[craftingrebel]

[recorded xx amount of time after the Souji/Yosuke fight and after he and Yosuke had a deep and meaningful conversation about life. Kanji gently picks up and cuddles his newly evolved Piplup. The Piplup looks up sadly at her trainer and coo's softly.]

Damn, I'm sorry that was one of the first things you had to see. Though-- I guess it's a good thing we decided to wait? Now isn't a good time anyways...

Pardon my intrusion.

[ Standing in the doorway is one Saber. The expression on her face is unreadable - being a distant king for so many years aids in keeping her thoughts well under guise. ]

Are you feeling unwell?

[he shakes his head.] Nah, it's alright. You're not intruding. [he sighs as he runs a hand through his hair] I'm fine. It was just a really rough night.

[ A nod to acknowledge his words as she silently moves across the room towards the window. ]

That it was. These things are human though, are they not? Disagreements and all. If there was no conflict, many of the things we take for granted may not exist.

Yeah, getting into arguments and stuff is kind of normal... But nothing of this caliber. [he looks down at his Piplup.] Though... to be fair they were both kind of stupid.

[ex_cashcow493]

Their argument was quite passionate, but the two involved are surrounded by an entire house of support. They will make it through and everyone involved will be much stronger.

[ Giving a gentle laugh. ]

They were acting foolish indeed. Please try to not let your own spirits be dampened by their behavior.

Yeah, once they get their heads on right and think things through calmly. It's... I just hope things can be resolved in the near future. 'cause if not things are gonna get pretty awkward.

[ex_cashcow493]

They will get resolved. In the mean time, we must do what we can to keep others from making things awkward.

[ Which is why Saber has been poking her nose into matters that don't concern her. ]

Will you be alright?

[craftingrebel]

[he pauses and looks down at his lap.]

Yeah... Yeah, I'll be alright.

[ex_cashcow493]

Good. You have someone relying on you to be at your best for now.

[ Her gaze falls onto the Piplup. ]

Have you a name for them?

action;

[craftingrebel]

Huh? Oh... yeah, I named her Morinaga. Might not be a girly name, but she reminds me of these kind of snacks we have back home.

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

That name.. it reminds me a lot of someone from back home. A lady at that.

[craftingrebel]

Really?

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes. I hope your own does not grow up to be identical to her.

action;

[craftingrebel]

You-- wait, what?

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

She was not a very kind lady.

[craftingrebel]

S- Sorry...
