Geodude Lost

[questioneverything]

Hunk!

[Now here was someone Romelle had been hoping to see again for a while. She came closer, ducking down to see what he was after. Oh... a shy Geodude? That was a surprise, but Romelle crouched with him.]

Hello there, little guy. You have a worried trainer out here who would like for you to come out.

[ironchef]

Romelle?- Ow!

[Hunk bops his head on the underside of the porch railing he sits up so quickly, but after the brief wince he stops and stares at her with wide eyes.]

You're here? Ah... right, he got lost and I was trying to help him, but then I think I scared him a little. His name is Charlie, apparently.

[He reaches to drag his pack over to him.] Can pokemon eat people food? Will they need to go see a nurse?

[questioneverything]

Oh! [Oops! Sorry, Hunk. She didn't meant to startle him like that, and she momentarily raised a hand to reach out to him in case he needed help from that bump. He seemed okay, though, as he started reaching into his pack to find food.]

I haven't tried people food with them, but I have some berries. Maybe Charlie doesn't want poffins?

[She pulled a couple of Oran berries from her pouch, not sure what Hunk's poffins had been made from, but it was worth a shot, right?]

Hey, Charlie... how about some berries, huh?

[ironchef]

[Charlie rattles off a 'Geodude!' from under the porch and Hunk cannot tell if it's scared or angry or happy or anything. And it's so dark under there, he wouldn't be able to see its face. But, right! The berries.]

I think I might have some cookies in my bag. I'll look.

[He starts unloading items out of his backpack, most of them food-related, searching for cookies that don't contain chocolate. Socks and underwear get shoved into a small cooking pot. An inexplicable metal spork and chopstick set are piled off onto a campfire stove kit. He's tetrised in his possessions as carefully as he could so as to not damage the baked goods in there too.]

[Romelle is a little less intimidating (in stature, anyway) than Hunk so the Geodude does move closer to the underside of the porch it had managed to wriggle its rocky self into. He has been away from his caretakers for a while. And he is very hungry.]

I found some lemon drops...

[questioneverything]

That's it... come on.

[Romelle glances over with a confused look, still holding out one of the oran berries for the Geodude to take if he wants.]

What's a lemon drop?

[ironchef]

It's a cookie. I don't think it would have anything that would hurt pokemon on it. I just don't have any snacks at the moment. Shay ate them all. She's sleeping it off in her ball right now.

[He gives her a small, roundish cookie, plain-looking except for a dab of powdered sugar on top.]

Between that and the berries maybe it'll work.

[And the Geodude is very hungry. It's already eating the berries, because it's been away from home all day.]

[questioneverything]

[Romelle turned the cookie over in her hand a bit, studying it, giving it a small sniff. Not that she didn't trust Hunk's cookie... Hunk was an excellent chef... but she was curious just in general about having one of these 'lemon drops'.]

Do you drop it as part of the cooking process?

[Because, why else would it be called a 'drop'?]

[ironchef]

I never thought to ask. I mean, not ask the cookie [that should be obvious, Mr. Hunk sir] ask my mom. She taught me to make them.

[Which is maybe a conversation for another time. But most types of baking require dropping.]

[questioneverything]

Oh. Maybe you can teach me some time?

[Meanwhile, Charlie is having his fill of berries and things. Romelle ducks back down carefully as not to startle the Geodude, and gives a small smile.]

Hey there, Charlie Are you ready to come out now? I'm sure your trainer would love to see you again.
