Action

[forsaintcecilia]

[Among all the Cutiefly, there was one, slightly different looking Ribombee fluttering happily around Chise's head. After a couple of minutes of surveying her, the little thing perched in her bright red hair. The little thing barely weighs a pound, so it shouldn't be too much of an intrusion.]

[However, this particular Ribombee has a trainer! Kazuki is the one that snapped the twig as he approached, looking for his Pokemon.]

Puff! Puff! You can go so far-- you're too small, I'll lose you!

[He didn't notice Chise yet.]

Action

[unwantedgirl]

[Chise can't help but stare for a moment as the young man approaches. It's clear he's not talking to her and even Ruthie, the Furfrou on her other side, lifts his head to peer curiously at Kazuki because who are you talking to--

The canine looks up at his trainer's head and let's out a huff of a bark which has Chise looking over at him before she reaches up to touch her head.

And in turn the Ribombee.]

Oh. Hello. [She glances up as if she could see the little creature up there.] Is this who you're talking to?

Action

[forsaintcecilia]

Puff-- Oh gosh, I'm so sorry! I, um...

[Kazuki carefully sidles up and mutters another apology as he leans over to pluck his Ribombee by the scarf out of Chise's hair... Only to deposit the Pokemon into his own hair, where she seems quite content to stay.]

I'm really sorry, it's just something that Cutiefly and Ribombee do. They're attracted to people with-- I think the Pokedex calls it a "flower-like aura." She just wants to be friends.

Action

[unwantedgirl]

[Able to actually see Puff now, Chise can't help but smile and wave at the Ribombee as she ends up in Kazuki's hair.]

It's alright.

[Beside her, the Litwick crosses it's wax arms as it eyes Kazuki then the Ribombee.

Don't you dare be attracted to her human! That's her energy source!]

All of the faeries here have been nice. I don't mind being friends with them.

Action

[forsaintcecilia]

Fairies? Do you mean Fairy-types?

[Because-- now that Kazuki looks around, he notices that she's absolutely covered in them. He's never seen so many Flabebe before!]

I wonder if we're in a swarm...

Action

[unwantedgirl]

Sort of. These are similar to the fae where I'm from.

[It's said in a rather nonchalant manner, Chise forgetting that most people aren't familiar with the concept.

Several Flabebe drift over to Kazuki now that the initial shock of his appearance has worn off, twilling and chirping as they wave and twirl about his head.]

A swarm...maybe. [Chise lifts a hand to pet a Cottonee that bumps into her head.] I heard those happen often.

Action

[forsaintcecilia]

Fae? What're those?

[Aww, they're so cute! Kazuki lifts a gentle hand so a Flabebe can settle on his palm. He really likes Fairy types. He has a lot of them on his team.]

Do you mind if I sit? I didn't mean to interrupt anything.

[unwantedgirl]

[Shaking her head, Chise motions for him to side as her Litwick shuffles closer to her legs protectively.]

Fae are magical beings that can conjure magic and can work with mages to let them use their magic as well. There are all kinds of fae. Grims, ariels, banshees...we call them neighbors most of the time, since we share our world with them.

[Several of the Morelulls have come out of hiding and crawl up onto Chise's lap as she talks, bobbing about as she explains the concept of fae.]

The faeries here, and the ghosts, remind me a lot of the Fae back home.

[forsaintcecilia]

[Kazuki sits down at an appropriate distance. Don't worry little Litwick, he's just friendly to everyone. Some of the Cutiefly gently poke around Puff as if looking for more space to perch in his hair.]

Oh! That's sort of like the creatures in our forklore back home. Yokai and stuff. But I dunno if they're real or not-- if they exist, I've certainly never seen them. But you can see your neighbors?

[unwantedgirl]

[It seems to appease the little ghost, for now, and she settles down for now and goes back to glaring at all the fairy types.]

Chise can't help but look surprised, staring at Kazuki as she gently pulls the Cottonee she'd been petting into her lap.]

You're from Japan. [The word he'd used was telling.] I..yes. I can.

[She almost says more but hesitates, arms curling just a bit tighter around the little puff ball in her lap.]

I've always been able to.

[forsaintcecilia]

Yeah, I am! [So she's from Earth! Or at least, an Earthlike place.] My name's Kazuki. Where're you from? I've never heard of the fairies you were naming.

[unwantedgirl]

I was from Japan. I don't live there anymore though. [Which wasn't for the best.] It's nice to meet you, Kazuki. My name's Chise. [An indignant squeak hasn't her glancing down.] Oh, sorry. This is Wendy and this is Ruthie.

[forsaintcecilia]

Oh! So that's how you knew where I was from! [She probably grew up with the same stories too! Although he didn't assume that she saw the Yokai as well...] It's nice to meet you, Chise, Ruthie, Wendy. This here is Puff. [He points to his head.] I have other Pokemon friends, but they're not with me right now.

Where do you live now?

[unwantedgirl]

Yes. [She smiles softly.] We don't have any others traveling with us yet.

[A Cutiefly flies over to zip around Chise's head, squeaking softly at her as a few Flabebe come to join the fun.]

England. Well, outside of England. With a...my new family.

[forsaintcecilia]

England! Wow, that's exciting. I've never left the country. Do you like it there?

[unwantedgirl]

...I do. It's much better than where I was. I have a place and a purpose now.

[forsaintcecilia]

[...There is something strikingly melancholy about this girl. Kazuki tilts his head just a bit, as if that would help him to understand her better.]

Are you happy?

[unwantedgirl]

[Chise blinks.]

What?

[On one side of her, Ruthie chuffs softly while on the other side, closest to Kazuki, Wendy frowns.]

Of course I am.

[forsaintcecilia]

Okay! Sorry, I just wanted to know-- because you look kinda sad, you know?

[unwantedgirl]

[Oh. She was doing it again wasn't she?

Chise shook her head and offered a faint smile.]

I'm not, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you think I was.

[forsaintcecilia]

It's okay. I'm just the kind of guy that likes to make sure people are happy. It's why I'm a musician!
