Fourth Century - On the Matter of Exhaustion

[aslla_jack]

 Now back in Nimbasa, and free of the bird/dragon swarm that was on prior, Jack seems to have toned down from his particularly... Odd. Mood from before.

He's lucky that Yuusei didn't see that really, but either way.

"Oii oiiii...." He's perched sitting on a bench not far from the contest hall at the moment, looking his pokemon over. "You got big too fast," he grumbles somewhat, looking to his now Solosis. "All of you."

The crowd of pokemon merely chitter or rumble in amusement, and as a few of them gravitate toward the Contest entrance he stiffens. "AH- OIII OIII, WHERE ARE YOU GOING-!"

If it's all good with them, he'd rather not go in there. Lots of people in there. Just because he's finally come to grips with 'this', doesn't mean he enjoys getting stared at.

[[Note: any threads not involving Ryoji and Hazel will come BEFORE THEM in terms of Chronology, as the end of that thread is going to involve Jack passing out. YAY.]]

Ryoji turns to look at the Pokemon and nods.

"They really are worried for him... If there's a nice campground nearby, it should be good. The fresh air will help, right?"

Ryoji doesn't know Jack that well, but he still is trying not to do too much that would annoy or embarrass the guy. Carrying him would probably be humiliating enough.

"It can't hurt." Hazel would be very surprised if fresh air was bad for someone. "Um, it's out on Route 5," she says, motioning towards that exit. "Have you been there yet?"

Just gonna try to pretend she doesn't feel awkward about them taking tiny, glowy Jack and all his Pokémon through the city. Maybe no one will notice any oddness?

"I haven't, actually. Would you mind leading the way?"

Ryoji smiles politely, trying to keep his voice low. If they're quiet and subtle in their movements, they shouldn't draw too much attention.

[mediocrespells]

"Um, okay." And she'll lead the way. Hurrying would probably draw extra attention so, she doesn't rush. At least while they're still in town.

She distracts herself from the unavoidable attention Jack's Pokémon drew by thinking of how she'd set up camp differently with them there. The silly idea to make Jack a nest crosses her mind but, the thought that he'd probably be angry keeps her from seriously considering it.
