fingers work tirelessly as the scratching of pen against paper heightens. notes were scribbled in a text that could barely be described as legible, mouth working in mimicry of splotched ink and hasted thoughts.

Waylon stopped at the sound of the stranger's voice. One hand on his Absol's back, he glanced to the water-filled gourd on his hip. Usually more than willing to offer a hand to someone in need. Something about the man's rudeness rubbed him the wrong way.

"Sure, kid, but it'll cost ya five Poké."

Easy money if the lad was as parched as he claimed.

his eyes don't tear away from the journal in his hands, nor does his back unhunch itself as he curls over it almost protectively. if the stranger's idea of charging him bothered him, valentine didn't show it.
[break][break]
"five? that's quite a steal."
[break]
[break]
a normal bottle would be no more than two, or three. but five? his teeth find purchase on his lower lip, scraping them in thought.
[break]
[break]

"never quite respected capitalism, but i see the appeal. very well, i'll meet your charge."
[break]
[break]

only then does he stop, lifting his chin up slightly to match the man's gaze with his own.
[break]
[break]

"i didn't disturb your walk, did i senior?"

an impish grin settles onto delicate features.

Behind the tinted lenses of his glasses, boredom's gray paint glazed Waylon's eyes. The tungsten claws of Dialga gripped all. He'd come to terms with that long ago. Being teased for wrinkles that would inevitably soil the stranger's delicate skin is little more than ironic.

He smiled and dug his fingers deeper into Absol's silver mane. "Not at all." he replied, wetting his lips.

"But if I can offer some advice - hunching like that will ruin your back. It's hardly necessary, anyway."

That said, he tapped the gourd on his hip and extended his hand. Money first, and then the stranger could quench his thirst.

the irony is lost on the young writer, his attention shifting with clear exuberance to the ivory coated absol nearby.

"the disaster pokemon — fascinating."
[break][break]
all notions of note taking fade as quickly as a summer breeze, the old journal closing with pen still trapped inside. absentmindedly, he tucks it in the crook of his arm, training his green eyes onto the dark-type. an odd sense of nostalgia, one he couldn't place, falls on him.

"Her name is Archangel."

Waylon looked down at the Absol, distant memories flooding his thoughts. They tuck his lips into a frown, stab at his heart with a knife laced with poison.

Archangel's head canted up. The stern look in her eyes softened at her trainer's face.

"Why are you out here, just to write?"

He looked back at the stranger.

"God's wrath, huh?" that felt oddly fitting for his loyal companion. "I wasn't aware the name had just deep meaning. My wife picked it out."

Waylon sighed, hand rubbing the back of his neck. "Here." he cuts the man off mid-explanation, tossing his water groud at the stranger. "No money required." everybody gets one freebie, right?

"What's the questions you're looking to answer?"

"give her my regards. an excellent name." after bringing the wild pokemon to her trainer, atlach returns to the tree-line once more. valentine waves her off, wiping the dirt from his pants as he stands. he's barely able to catch the gourd. "oh, thank you."
[break][break]
taking a long drink, he brings it down to his waist at the man's question. before he could answer, valentine wipes his mouth with his sleeve. "not sure. haven't thought of them yet! each new pokemon comes with their own unique ones. i'm sure i'll find something later." cheery disposition, a wide smile. "aside from a walk, what brings you out here?"
[break][break]
their conversation is interrupted again as the ariados brings another wrapped-up pokemon. a struggling weaville, suppressed by an orb.

"Yeah, I'll be sure to do that." When he got around to visiting her grave. It had been a while since the last time.

Waylon sighed and pushed his sunglasses against his face. The stranger's cheerful smile did little to dissuade the gloomful cloud that hung over him.

"Only out for a walk and to enjoy the open air. Don't get much time to myself these days." Between the kids at the orphanage and his reenlistment, Waylon barely had a moment to wipe his ass. Let alone go for a walk.

A hand slipped into his pocket at the spider's approach. He only offered it a glance before turning his attention back to its trainer.

"What's your name, kid?"

whatever dark clouds hang over the older man's head go seemingly unnoticed by valentine. or, at the very least, he doesn't seem to change his disposition to compensate. "ah, busy, busy, busy. i can relate." his time was entirely taken up in the pursuit of knowledge, not some menial employment to a region that didn't care about him.
[break][break]
"my name's valentine. mercer, that is. may i ask yours?" he's happy when atlach doesn't bring back another creature. she'd given him a few more moments of peace. how pleasant.

"Less busy and more purposely overworked."

Waylon scratched the top of Absol's head, the sight of a Cacturne in the distance catching his eye. With a nod, he ordered the canine to attack.

Archangel didn't move, but the flash of her eyes stirred the wind. A gentle breeze turned harsh and sharp, condensing into a crescent sickle that launched ahead. Razor Wind tore into Cacturne's thorned skin, catching the Pokemon by surprise.

Seizing the moment, Waylon hurled a Poke Ball.

"Waylon." he replied, shifting his attention back to Valentine. "It's been a pleasure Valentine but my walk awaits." Waylon pushed ahead, Absol alongside him.

"Keep the gourd."
