Maybe it was the week apart that made him so 'Die Hard' to see Kanto.

Cait becoming his shadow seemed to put his childhood home out of mind.

He practically hadn't been out of her sight since she caught him sneaking off. He couldn't say he disliked the attention although the more extended time together was leading into some questionable passtimes.

"Why are we helping someone else tend to their garden?" Farm was more like it. The place put his little Orchard Volcanica to shame and death. His only saving grace being that his own personal little slice of earth developed the rarest and most expensive fruit to bare.

In contrast, the owner of this place was probably loaded, because he sold his berries rather than feeding them to his pokémon. Not to mention he had other people, tourists and couples paying him to pick berries for themselves.

Sénon understood growing for resources but Kanto being pedologically scarred with volcanic soil, meant picking berries for fun or even for pay wasn't an appreciated way to spend his afternoon. Given it was more in Cait's wheelhouse he said nothing, remembering she'd let him off the hook fairly easily regarding the whole Kanto business. "Are we getting paid for this?" Well he mostly said nothing.

Sénon Game likes this

espeon ♂: magic bounce - bite, swift, trump card, psychic, confusion, sand attack

"you're as bad as a babe on a long road trip."

this served as her noncommittal response to his inquiries, the woman perched comfortably upon a branch as she examined which berries were well enough to pick. and while she could easily utilize her gifts to prepare a damaged or unprepared fruit, she decided instead to rely upon her skills as a botanist.

"they have seeds that aren't available on the market. i've been promised a satchel full of them in exchange for a little work."

she released her hold upon a berry, allowing it to drop only for it to be caught within the psychic grasp of her espeon. the pokemon appeared terribly bored with the whole venture, the expression on his face revealing his lack of enthusiasm as he yawned noisily and deposited the hard-skinned berry into a woven basket.

"and we'll be fairly compensated as well. i gave them your league identification so they know to wire the funds into your account."

cait glanced down at him, considering her beau with the sweep of her gaze. the woman had been insistent on keeping him close, fearing that his desire to return to kanto would result in another escape attempt. so for the past few days he had been staying at her cabin, sleeping in her bed and making her meals.

"we'll go straight home afterwards," she informed, dropping another berry for espeon to catch.

To quell the espeon's boredom he picked a berry from the basket offering it to the kit. Seemingly knowing it wasn't supposed to eat the berries he pushed a thought to the front of his mind that the mistress wouldn't scold him if her mate was the one offering the berry.

Ever the multi-talent, Jūken was elsewhere doing Sénon's berry picking work. Reading the auras of the bushes and tree he could differentiate which were the most ripe with life and which weren't ready yet. Harvesting from only the most ripe trees and bushes he used his nose find the exact berries that were good based on the berry his master gave him from his mate's basket.

The most experienced of all the ranger's pokemon in going off to do odd jobs with little to no supervision, Jūken was perfectly adjusted and motivated to act on his own. Meanwhile Sénon just watched Cait. "I'm worse; feeding me from under your shirt won't settle me down."

She tiptoed the line between warmly loving and staggeringly protective in a way that told him she would make for the kind of mother he would enjoy subjecting his children to. Ask your mother, would be one of his favorite lines.

With her perched in the tree like that he wondered about strength of tree limbs, if they could support their combined weight. There was no one else in the immediate area.

Surely as a herbalist and botanist at some point in her life she was going to make love in a garden. The concept alone was ripe with metaphor.

"wanna bet?"

she shot him a pointed look, her brows raised high upon her forehead as she boldly challenged him. he was gradually acquiring that look again - one she had only very recently been able to confidently identify. it was rare thing when her beau wasn't in the mood, which was an attribute she viewed as a positive on most occasions. but she was able to pinpoint that subtle change in his facial features - that gleam in his eye.

'maybe later,' she thought, dismissing the idea.

they'd had their fun in the morning, he could wait on the hours until late evening. cait shot him the occasional glance as he attempted to feed her espeon a berry, the pokemon offering it a sniff before giving it an experimental bite - chewing on it and them promptly and very harshly launching the hard-skinned fruit at sénon's forehead in a surge of psychic power.

cait immediately dissolved into laughter, her psychic-type spitting out the berry with the most pissed off expression he could muster as he walked away before immediately spitting again.

He suppressed a growl from his baser self as Cait's body language seemed to resist the implications of his staring.

She wouldn't be able to shake him off so easily if he climbed the tree to test her resistance a little more thoroughly.

In fact, he was quite willing to test her discipline. Moving to the tree beginning to climb intent on at least making her laugh and admit she wanted the same pleasure and relief as him, at least a little bit even if she wouldn't let herself hollow through.

He barely got his hands on the tree before the gooey remnants of a berry was spat on his forehead, which was technically part of his face. Turning the to the mincing psychic he was forced to display his dominance. "You furry rat!"

He picked the berry from his forehead bouncing one of his pokéballs from a tree. His best troublemaker called from stasis.

()

It was a good chance for the two of them to put their co-parenting skills to the test. "HEX!" Sénon being all for occasional corporal punishment.

cait's peals of laughter served as the backdrop to the dramatic showdown. the hex had resulted in a painful shudder that had coursed throughout the length of the espeon's lithe form. the pokemon turned around with a stationary leap, his lips curled to reveal a row of pointed teeth.

"save me, espeon!"

the woman had taken up an overly dramatic tone, playing the part of the damsel.

"after poisoning you he was going to have his way with me. the fiend - the degenerate," she said, sounding utterly scandalized. "only you can save me!"

with that ridiculous command, the berries that had been tossed in the 'rotten' pile rose as one under the espeon's influence. they were smashed together in an over sweetened and reeking ball of decay, multiple orbs of this material formed in succession before they were mercilessly flung toward both sénon and his ghost-type companion.

His incredulity was so thick he was going to be spreading on it their sandwiches for the next week. "Really Cai?! REALLY?!"

He could only just barely manage to duck behind a tree before the mound of bad berries at splattered against it.

She really had him in a bind. Haunter was no good at play fighting but and with Cait having such a good time at his expense he held back from the actual battle he'd started. He'd have to improvise if he wanted his victory. "That's why everyone thinks Umbreon are cooler than you!"

"HEX harder!" Twisting her arms as if she were conducting a symphony the Haunter willed her ghostly magics to reform the pile of tossed berries. Squeezing the juice from the flesh of the fruits the gathered moisture shot at the espeon in the shape of a cackling Gastly aim to drench the arrogant feline.

Maybe having to clean its coat of the taste of a berry it already hated the flavor of it would learn its place in the pecking order.

had espeon not been utterly anal about their appearance and self-grooming regime, they'd have likely had a decent enough chance against the haunter. unfortunately, he was the most prissy among cait's lot, having been so since he was naught more than an eevee.

"oop."

the woman's mild exclamation followed the psychic-type's collapse onto the ground, espeon presently upon his back flailing around as he realized that his perfectly perfect pelt had been utterly drenched in disgusting berry juice. he was at present a sticky, discolored and smelling ball of slicked down fur and horror. as he flailed about whilst having a adult-sized temper tantrum, cait's gaze flicked from side to side.

"so uh - "

there was a bashful look upon her face, her cheeks flushed as she realized she may or may not be in hot water.

"i was totally joking about the 'degenerate' and 'fiend' part."

with a quickness, she proceeded to climb higher into the tree, snickering as she utilized her well-refined skills at do so.

With the espeon's day utterly ruined Sénon didn't push any further. Putting Haunter in charge of guarding the base of the tree he jumped from the ground to grab a branch hoisting himself up effortlessly.

Standing on the branch he shifted his weight to check its stability and despite being a berry tree it was pretty strong and tall as well. Cait scurrying off into its heights triggered the playful child in him. "Don't you run from me girl." A little antagonizing from her and he was ten years old again, climbing a tree for what felt like it was going to be his first kiss.

Going as high up as two human bodies allowed they were discreetly hidden by the makeshift canopy of the bunched up berry trees. "I caught you, that means you're my girlfriend now." For a moment he played ignorant to her past goading; the innocent school children angle making for a more interesting interaction. "Sorry I beat up your pink cat." His eyes panned off to the side considering his words. "Your other pink cat."

He leaned into her, nose to nose, curious if she was still able to resist him when no one was watching...

...except Haunter.

and so she had been successfully captured, the branch they were settled upon feeling reassuringly solid beneath their combined weight. a light laugh escaped cait as he pressed closer, her cheeks warming as her body took some pleasure in how close he was.

"you're forgiven. i'm sure he'll be fine."

'despite the way he's acting.'

they were in the midst of performing an eskimo kiss, the tips of their noses touching. she found such an act to be utterly endearing, her lips soon closing the distance between his to press against his own.

"i love you."

the declaration came once again, the warmth present within her smile reaching her eyes. she'd soon lean in and against him, deriving a certain amount of joy from his earlier words. it caused a a children's song to pop up within her head, which resulted in another silly giggle due to how utterly accurate it was.

sénon and cait,

sitting in a tree,
