In all honesty the winter was probably Blaine's favorite time of the year. The other seasons were just fine but there was something he really liked about the cold in general and the snow that covered the ground certainly helped add to the overall atmosphere. So it wasn't too out of the norm for Blaine to just be wandering around on a walk in the middle of winter with no other work to do.[break][break]

However without any fire pokemon of his own for extra warmth the Detective had to just bundle up really good for how cold it was outside. At the moment he had on a big puffy coat, a scarf and a hat to help keep him warm. A far stretch from his usual attire of whatever's closet when he crawls out of bed in the morning. [break][break]

At least he wasn't entirely alone on this little journey; during his walk the man had stumbled upon a delibird that was trying its hardest to get down to Fortree city to deliver what he could only assume were gifts, no matter what he tried the bird seemed hellbent on getting to the city. After a lot of convincing and giving the bird snacks Blaine was able to at least get it to stop for the moment instead of letting it just continue on the dangerous journey. The bird could barely even see over the amount of snow it was trying to waddle through.[break][break]

While escorting a delibird didn't seem too difficult on its own the conditions for the area they were trying to traverse weren't exactly ideal for an actual mission. Not wanting to be stuck out here alone just in case things went downhill for himself and the bird Blaine had requested a bit of help from the league, just asking if there was anyone in the nearby area that could help him out with escorting delibird.[break][break]

For the moment the Detective stood around next to the Delibird as he awaited backup, just focusing on keeping the Delibird from waddling off on its own.

Take a walk through the snow, they said. It'll be fun! They definitely lied. She's completely lost, the once slightly familiar landscape of Hoenn now buried under snow. Sure, things like cities basically look the same but out here on the routes? Nothing looks even close to recognizable. Ugh, she really had to enjoy the winter, huh? It doesn't help that this wasn't just for enjoyment. Well, it was at first but then a call came and her services were requested for a job. Helping someone out seems simple enough, right? If she could ever find her way to wherever they are, however... Damn her awful sense of direction.[break][break]

At least she has her Ninetales, a welcome comfort through this developing ordeal. The tawny fox sticks close, heat radiating from her fur. "Maybe we can ask for directions?" Illeana murmurs, glancing down at Flammae as the fire type glances up with crimson eyes. The woman recognizes the signature look on the Ninetales' face, concern mixed with a little judgement. Naturally, it's a look she gets all too often, usually when she manages to mess something up or when she thinks herself into pacing around a room. "Okay, okay, I know I should've brought a map or even asked for directions when I got the call," she sighs, burrowing closer into the red scarf wrapped around her neck.[break][break]

They continue walking for what seems like ages, trekking deeper into the snow, Flammae attempting to keep them both a little warmer than their surroundings. Despite the radiating warmth of a fire type, she's still freezing. A sweater and a winter jacket weren't enough to combat the cold, apparently. You'd think she'd learn from her childhood but... Guess not. Snowflakes pepper her hair, mingling into black waves and snuggling closer to the beanie atop her head. Mittens cover her trembling hands and as she draws her arms closer in a feeble attempt to warm herself further, figures begin to appear in the distance.[break][break]

"Excuse me!" She calls, raising a hand with the notion that she could simply just wave the person down. They close to distance with a few more kicks of snow, the figures becoming a man and a Delibird. Odd, she hasn't seen a Delibird around here before... This has to be who the League spoke of, right? The woman stares at the little red bird first, offering a small smile to the creature. "Sorry to bother you," she begins, speaking to the bird at first before glancing up to the man. Huh, he looks familiar. Is that... Blaine?[break][break]

"Oh," recognition rises to her face and she beams, ignoring her better judgement to rush forward for a hug. "Didn't think I'd see you again!" Laughter escapes her throat and she releases him just as quickly as she embraced his body, cheeks flushed from more than just the cold. Embarrassment claws at her body and she fiddles with her hat, glancing down at her feet. "What're you doing out here? With a Delibird, no less!"

Sure Blaine liked the cold but just enjoying the weather didn't really stop him from starting to shiver as he stood around in the snow awaiting some backup. On the bright side he wasn't really waiting around for too long until someone arrived. Well at least not long enough to be upset in anyway about the wait, or long enough that he was in danger of getting sick from just standing around in the cold. [break][break]

While he wasn't really expecting anything special to come out of the request for help the last thing he expected was for someone he knew to answer the call. On top of that Blaine had actually been hoping to run into this girl again after their little trip together through hoopa's nightmare world. The two had talked a little bit about meeting up for coffee after everything was over and done with; but that didn't happen as of yet, probably due to the fact that Blaine didn't really know how to reach her. Sure he could of did some detective work and found her but it seemed like kind of a weird thing to do.[break][break]

At first when the man turned to see who called out to him he wasn't entirely sure who it was, he didn't really spend enough time with Illeana yet to recognize her voice immediately. However once he actually saw her the man couldn't help but get a big ol smile; he didn't even mind the surprise hug from her, quite the opposite actually he returned the hug with a little laugh. [break][break]

Glancing back over his shoulder to make sure the deibird hadn't wandered off he quickly moved his attention back to Illeana. "Its really good to see you!" Even now the grin was still on his face as he took a small step back as the hug ended, not wanting to invade her personal space or try to seem way too excited to see her again.[break][break]

"You know I was actually kind of starting to think that maybe it all really was some kind of weird dream. I mean fighting a legendary pokemon, and zombies and meeting a cute girl it just all seemed a lot like a dream" Although in his excitement to be reunited with her he didn't even realize that last part slipped out. [break][break]

Taking a moment to look over at the Delibird again Blaine slipped hands into his pockets, still shivering slightly from the cold. "I was just going on a walk and I found this little bird right here. It seems stuck on getting to Fortree to deliver whatever gifts it has, I didn't want to make it go alone so I asked for some backup with getting him down there."[break][break]

Truthfully, she had propelled herself forward into him just to make sure he's real, that he isn't a figment of her imagination or from nightmares passed. The whole thing seemed so real, after all... Funny, she still has nightmares sometimes... about a nightmare. Go figure, right?[break][break]

The embrace ends as quickly as it comes and she doesn't mind the space between them, instead smiling with a nod of agreement. "Yeah," she murmurs, a hand rising to fiddle with a strand of dark hair. "Even better that it's not, you know, a nightmare." Her laughter is easy and light as it mingles into the space between them. It dies out a moment later, fading into a soft chuckle before disappearing entirely. He starts talking, then, and she tries in vain to think away the heat that rises to her cheeks.[break][break]

Did he just...? She blinks, once, twice, before shifting her weight from one foot to the other. He really just nonchalantly called her cute to her face. How does she respond to that? It's a first for the woman if she's being honest. Her experience in social situations is practically nonexistent and her experience in being complimented? It's utterly abysmal. And so, with a sudden shyness, she tucks the strand of hair she was fiddling with behind her ear. "The whole zombie thing really made it seem like a dream," she mumbles, words slightly stifled by the soft material of her scarf. "At least you're real! That means it wasn't totally a nightmare, right?" A warm smile rises to her lips and she tries to ignore the redness of her cheeks as she steps forward to join his side.[break][break]

"He's cute," she coos, turning her attention to Delibird as he impatiently flaps his arms about. "You have an important job to do, huh?" A squawk comes from the bird and a light chuckle escapes her in response. Glancing back at Blaine, she offers another smile. "Between the two of us, we should be able to get him to Fortree. Can't have the citizens go without presents, right?" The last part comes out a little teasing as the woman decides that this Delibird would probably try to get there with or without them. Better for the little bird to have protection than stumbling through the snowy area without knowing what could be lurking in the trees. Besides, maybe now she could finally have an actual conversation with the man who had saved her from death a few times during that nightmare. Killing two birds with one stone, perhaps?[break][break]

Okay, bad pun given their little friend, but you get the idea.[break][break]

"Which way is he going?" Illeana asks before adjusting her hat with a light bout of embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I'm not super familiar with this area," she manages to mumble out, sounding a little ashamed. You'd think that after living in Hoenn for a few years, she'd make a point to familiarize herself with the various areas but... Well, research comes first? No, it's just that she's awful with directions and would rather save face than get lost and need to be saved by a colleague. When they get to Fortree, maybe she should finally buy a map or two...

Without really knowing anyone else that had to go through the whole hoopa nightmare fiasco Blaine always had this sort of lingering doubt in the back of his mind that it was all just a dream and nothing else. Not a weird shared dream that people were actually in but just a regular everyday dream that he had, probably the result of drinking too soon before bed or something.[break][break]

Now that Illeana was actually here in front of him though that doubt was wiped from his mind all together, the person he spent practically the entire time in the dream with was physically here. It was just kind of nice to finally have a concrete answer to whether or not that was actually real.[break][break]

"At least something good came out of it all though right? I mean Darkrai didn't get stuck in a bottle for the rest of eternity and we got to meet each other. So it wasn't all bad.." Blaine rambled out a little as he looked around the area, trying to think of the best way to get the two of them and the delibird down to the town. He understood that the Delibird had to get the gifts delivered but the man was kind of surprised it was just one bird trying to waddle through the snow all on its own to get there. [break][break]

While Blaine did notice the tucking of a strand of hair behind her ear he didn't really think anything of it or even link it to the fact that he complimented her. Now normally if you flirted with someone you'd try to pay attention for a sign of how they reacted to it but what Blaine had actually said still hadn't caught up to him yet. So he wasn't really looking for anything specific reaction wise and was just thinking about their weird nightmare trip together instead.[break][break]

As Illeana spoke to the Delibird Blaine just watched in silence, coming to a decision in his mind on which way they'd go to actually get to Fortree city. They'd just follow the Delibird, the little bird had to know where it was going if it was even out here trying to make the trip in the first place. "I kind of know my way around here, why don't we let Delibird over here lead the way though, they probably know the best way to get there."[break][break]

Almost as if the Delibird was just waiting for the word to go the little bird took off waddling through the snow, squawking as it took one moment to look back at the two trainers to see if they were still following it. Chuckling a bit Blaine gave Illeana a quick shrug before following after the pokemon, he was worried about if it actually got there so as long as the pokemon knew the way he'd make sure it was safe.[break][break]

"Guess Delibird liked that idea. Make sure you stay by me though so we don't get separated, plus its kinda cold so we should stay together." Not having a fire type of his own always came back to bite him in the rear every winter. "Oh I think I got an idea, after we get Delibird there do you wanna get some hot chocolate instead of that coffee we talked about in the..other place, it could even be like a date or something." He rambled out to Illeana as he kept his eyes on the Delibird, this time the detective knew exactly what he said and was a bit too nervous to actually look at her while asking.[break][break]

He's right. Something good did come out from the horror, a small light against the darkness. She found a friend in Blaine, an anchor to keep her sane despite the endless hurdles they had been forced to endure. Releasing Darkrai from the prison it had been placed within was the best part, sure, but Blaine's presence was just as good. Funnily enough, she feels as though she's simply meeting an old friend despite never coming face to face with him until now. Dreams are a funny thing, huh?[break][break]

"It was awful," she muses with a light chuckle. "Some good came out of it, though, so I guess I'm kind of glad it happened." It sounds odd to say out loud, really. She's not glad that she endured that, survived all that pain and loss. No, she'll never be happy about that, but she could be pleased with the results. Her Pokemon didn't die, she survived, he's real. In some weird way, it's alright.[break][break]

She glances at him, mouth half hidden behind the plush red of her scarf. The Delibird squawks at them, the little guy growing increasingly irritated with the lack of movement from the pair. It has a job to do and they're taking their sweet time in helping it out. She understands, to an extent. It's a little frustrating to have to get help and its task is rather important, even if it's not the biggest, toughest bird out there. "I think it's just waiting for us, anyway," she chuckles, glancing toward the Delibird as it crosses its arms over its chest. Cheeky little thing, isn't it? "Lead the way, little one!"[break][break]

Delibird practically books it away from the pair, little legs taking it a few feet away from them before it pauses to look back. She laughs, an amused look forming on her face. The air around the Delibird just screams get a move on, already! Beside her, Blaine shrugs, laughter of his own filtering into the air as he moves to follow. Illeana flashes him a smile as she keeps pace with him, snow crunching beneath her boots.[break][break]

"Yeah," she giggles. "I think it was gonna go with or without us regardless." An impatient bird with a job to do sure can be difficult to deal with. At least now, it'll have enough protection to make sure the task is completed with flying colors. "Okay! It'd be awful to get lost out here," she muses with a quick glance around the area. Staying close to him and the Delibird is probably the best way to prevent that from happening so she subconsciously drifts closer as they go, one shoulder brushing his. Flammae keeps pace with her, fur brushing against her legs. "You know, I could see if Flammae's up for producing some fire for us?" A Will-o-Wisp might do the trick... The blue flames are eerie yet warm and would be welcome to combat the cold.[break][break]

Illeana stumbles slightly as he speaks, eyes flying toward him. With eyes like saucers and a slightly open mouth, she practically gapes at him. He just... A date? She suppresses a squeak of surprise, cheeks burning. "Yeah," she mumbles out, feebly attempting to hide rosy cheeks with her scarf. "Hot chocolate sounds lovely." The scientist glances away from him, shyness overtaking her actions. Should she make eye contact with him? Is that the normal thing to do when asked that kind of thing? Damn it, now she's overthinking it. In an attempt to overcome the awkwardness, she speaks again, a smile rising to her lips. "Do you have a place in mind?"
