[shadowsandstories]

That it does.

[After a hundred years of blinding light--granted, she'd slept through a good bit of it--seeing the stars is still a comfort. They're different here, but it wasn't as if this was the first time she'd had to relearn the night sky.]

On my way to meet with an old friend. I may have underestimated how long the travel would take.

[Or overestimated her ability. Or possibly both.]

[loveisadagger]

[Nods as he gave a sigh.]

Yes, had to travel by train, from Goldenrod.

[Looks up at the glittering sky with her.]

I believe it's worth the trip... To know stars still glitter in the sky like this gives me relief. And your friend? You meeting to gaze at the sight as well?

[shadowsandstories]

Boat, from New Bark. I've walked from there.

[Yes, it's been a long walk, but a relatively peaceful one, aside from the odd monster accosting her from the tall grass.]

I know the feeling. It was only recently that the night sky was returned to the world I came from, afore that it was a hundred years of unceasing light.

[Part of the reason she doesn't mind traveling at night.]

He's been here for some time. It's something of a practical concern--traveling with someone who knows the road better than I.

[loveisadagger]

[Loki was curious enough to travel long distance in this world. It gave him time to observe what to do here as well as see why everything was dictated the way it was. So seeing places like this to hide away gave him advantage.

He couldn't help but gaze a little softer a that. He very well knew that feeling of missing Asgard's night sky. Turns his head to try to hide his tender expression.]

Well, it's not so bad getting lost, I find that it usually helps me learn the area a bit more than before.

But I certainly wouldn't like getting frustrated, especially on your own.

[shadowsandstories]

[She gives a little half smile at that.]

No, it isn't so bad.

[But she's had a lot of time to think about what she wished she could have said, and she's eager to do so. To apologize, for what little it's worth.]

At least the monsters here can be tamed. And don't eat people.

[That she's aware of.]

[loveisadagger]

[Gives a little chuckle at that.]

I'm quite relieved at that as well.

Plus, you can train them to your liking. These pokemon are quite intelligent creatures, I'm impressed.

[He held up one of his pokeballs and let Zorua out who immediately gave a playful giggle as it snuggled into Loki's side.]

Easy to make friends with too.

[There Loki let himself smile and pet Zorua.]

[shadowsandstories]

[She can sense the Dark alignment of the other little creature - it doesn't give her cause for concern, her own shares the same affinity, and...well, there's a reason she can sense it. She smiles at the little creature--it looks very fond of its person.]

Does your friend have a name?

[loveisadagger]

I've given the name Mari, it means rebellious.

[He scritches underneath Zorua's chin who trilled in delight. Glances with a bit of a smirk.]

They are a bit playful you see, so it seems fitting.

[shadowsandstories]

A good name. Easy to recall.

[She looks down at her Absol, who doesn't yet have one of his own. She doesn't know what name to give. So far it's just the two of them, and it's not as if he has much to say about it.]

[loveisadagger]

Oh yes, quite so...

[Noticing that she was looking at her own, he seemed to caught on a little.]

Have you thought about yours?

[shadowsandstories]

[She shakes her head.]

Thought about, but no real ideas. I've never lead the sort of life that is conducive to pets.

[loveisadagger]

[Loki's brows raised a little, it's a little surprising, but he supposed there are those who can't have frivolous time with pets. Adjusting himself letting Zorua lay in his lap, Loki took a good look at her Absol.]

Well, let's start then...

What kind of personality do you notice they have?

[shadowsandstories]

[Her life has been strange and long.]

Hm...calm, serious. Pragmatic.

[She's reminded of Nyelbert. But she might feel like she can share his story, but naming anything for him seems like an overstep.]

[loveisadagger]

A good start, so what names do you think fits the calm yet serious mold?

Could be anything, a reminder of a story you read, or perhaps something you always were fond of.

[shadowsandstories]

[She gives a sardonic little smile.]

Well I certainly don't remember any stories from my childhood.

[She thinks about it for a little while.]

...Unukalhai likely would not mind having a namesake.

[loveisadagger]

[Loki did feel a bit sympathy from that, he always found stories to be interesting. Especially if you're able to make up ones on the fly, make it really believable. But none the less.. He gave a smile and gestured to her Absol.]

Ah... So?

Shall that be the name? Unukalhai?

[shadowsandstories]

[She looks down at her companion again, who chirrs softly--if she had to guess it would be approval? He doesn't seem too mad about it at least. And it's much less awkward than not calling him by anything at all, even if their travels together so far have been quiet.]

For a friend, aye.

Their temperament is similar enough. Not to mention the hair color.

[loveisadagger]

Oh yes, it's a lovely choice I see.

[At which his Zorua stretched, sat up and hopped off his lap. Coming over to sniff the Absol curiously. Giving a confident little skip in their step with a giggle.]

Ah, mine however, is quite playful...

Mari now... Lets not be too bothersome, he might not want to play.

[shadowsandstories]

[For a moment, it looks like he might not. But then he gets to all fours and stretches into a play bow. Cylva smiles.]

It's just been the two of us so far, seems like he's welcoming the change.

[She bends at the waist in a bow herself.]

Thank you for helping me consider it.

[loveisadagger]

[Gives a small smile and waves his arm in a half bow as well back.]

The pleasure is all mine.

[Loki looked down after, watching his Zorua roll around, chattering happily. Hoping around Absol trying to get him to chase her.]

Honestly, this is quite nice for them to play.

Mari and I hadn't a chance outside training like this. Someone other than me to play with is good for her I think.
