[attr="class","giada i"]whoever was having their pokemon make this many eggs... respectfully, stop it.

there's too many for her to even hope to carry. and with the fear of scrambling them on solid ground digging its claws into her skull, she has little choice but to beg the nearest person for help...

which, given her latest endeavor of whatever strength she wants to muster, is infuriating.

"hey, hey!" she calls to the closest body. thankfully, it's a man and he has bigger arms than her. that'll work wonders. "could you please help a girl out here?"

on his way to in to support his seventh straight shift, avery felt tired. it was so profound it seeps into his bones, but he pushes onwards. if he stopped now he might just collapse.

at first her calls fall on deaf ears, but she's persistent and avery is... far too aware of his surroundings than most. the man stops, posture leaning slightly back, and takes out of one his ear buds. in a voice that sounds tired, and a bit off-putting', he raises a finger to his chest and speaks.

"me?"

[attr="class","giada i"]she grins, oblivious.

"yes, you!" she feigns looking around, not another soul in sight. "unless you want me to ask a pokemon?" huh... maybe that would have been a good idea.

too late now. she's already sunk her claws into this idea and she'll see it through regardless.

"wait," she stops, considers, and tilts her head. "are you busy?"

he turns and takes stock of the sidewalk around him, seeing no one else. he curses to himself beneath his breath, checks his watch, and sighs.

"i've got a few minutes," he says as he walks over, one bag slung over a single shoulder.

"what do you need?"

[attr="class","giada i"]"perfect!" is squealed out in an almost too quick manner. she even claps her hands together.

and then, there's a seriousness that overtakes.

these fucking eggs... she forgot about them for a minute. her body turns quickly, eyes searching for the eggs in question. the basket is still sitting a few feet away. thank god.

"can you help me carry these?" she gestures toward the basket. "i never thought eggs would be so fucking heavy."

her excitement was a little too... much. was this girl a tweaker or something? walking over, avery pats down his wallet, ensuring its safety in his pocket.

though, the idea of her mugging him for his stuff, only to find how how broke he was later, nearly forces a smile out of him.

"uh," he didn't really want to do it, but that would be a dick-move, so. "sure, yeah, i guess?" avery tests his own strength and finds himself capable.

"why.. do you have all these eggs?"

[attr="class","giada i"]his wallet is safe. she's... trying to turn over a new leaf. maybe, possibly. jury's still out on that one.

she frowns at the eggs as he lifts them. stupid fucking eggs.

"people keep breeding their pokemon," she murmurs. her arms cross over her chest a moment later and something akin to a pout rises. "i got roped into delivering them but, as you can see, i have noodle arms and can't lift that many eggs."

he has better arms. thank god.

"thank you, by the way," she ushers out with a grin. "you're a big help."

"jeez. that's an understatement." avery checks his watch again, biting his lower lip. he would still make it. he would still be on time. he had to be.

"yeah, don't mention it." with a small strain avery lifts the basket, careful not to touch the eggs themselves. "these were cleaned before hand, right?" there wasn't a chance he would get pokemon juices on him, was there? then again, he had touched worse at work.

"uh, where am i taking this again?"

[attr="class","giada i"]honestly... stop cybering or whatever. end breeding season.

an eyebrow rises. and then, a look of confusion follows. were they cleaned? huh, maybe she should've asked before escaping from the daycare center. oops.

"yeah," she murmurs. it's a lie, mostly. it'll be fine!

oh! right... where's the destination again? she reaches into the butt pocket on her jeans and pulls out a folded piece of paper before holding it out for him to read.

"here are the addresses." they're close, within walking distance at least. thank god. "do you recognize them?" she's used to city streets, not grassy routes and forests. everything looks the same out here...

she's a terrible liar, but avery racks it up to her not having asked the question herself. just in-case he moves his grip down a little and more into the bottom of his fingers.

with his free hand avery takes the list of addresses, narrowing her eyes to inspect them. he wasn't sure why, since he knew the answer well before he'd taken it.

"no, i don't. just moved here not too long ago." half an apologetic look he gives it back to her, sweeping his hand forward. "lead the way, miss."

[attr="class","giada i"]it's the blind leading the blind out here...

she flushes slightly with a rare case of embarrassment. "oh, sorry! uh, welcome to the neighborhood?"

jeez. maybe she should just stick to being a thief. this volunteer shit ain't for her.

he hands the paper back over and she caves, pulling out her phone to plug the first address into the gps.

"giada," she corrects softly, the sound of miss being used for her leaving her a little awkward. it sounds wrong, disconnected or something. anyway, she starts walking, turning her head to make sure he follows. "and you, helpful guy?"

"thanks," he says with a small laugh, "i just work around here though. this place is a bit too expensive for my tastes."

her nearly misses her name, with how softly she says it. but he'd spent the better part of half a decade being constantly aware. it helped in moments like these.

"uh, jae." it was his middle name. avery jae rosenthal. "like the letter. nice to meet you too."

[attr="class","giada i"]she nods in agreement. hoenn as a whole is expensive as fuck... perhaps the only perk the streets had was the lack of rent payments.

oh well.

"oh, you work around here?" her head tilts slightly out of curiosity. "where?" maybe she's been there... or stolen from there. wouldn't that be a small world?

her smile brightens at the name. jae. simple enough! she, realistically, shouldn't be giving out her name so willingly but it's not like she'll ever see most people again. they make it a little further down the grassy path before she's speaking again, filling up any awkward silence with words.

"i'll buy you a drink after for helping, jae," she offers. "scout's honor!" or, well, thief's honor but... that's not exactly a thing.

"you know the shitty restaurant, the one that probably shouldn't be open because of health codes?" he gives her a small smile, "yeah, that one." just vague enough to throw her off the trail. it would do.

avery hardly notices the awkward portion of the silence. he rarely spoke to others, now-a-days, and his persian surely didn't feel the same notion of awkwardness that humans did.

"that's.. not necessary. just glad to help, you know? are we near one of these spots, by the way?"

[attr="class","giada i"]a laugh escapes. "you know, there's a lot of those."

was kanto any better in the restaurant department? well... no. celadon city, despite all the lavish casinos and big spenders, had some horrible dinner places. her favorite? a small mom and pop place that didn't mind feeding a starving teenager their old leftovers.

she frowns at him, a small wrinkle rising on her nose.

"it's necessary," she retorts. how else would she repay him? definitely not money... she doesn't have much of that lately.

oh. right, she's the gps holder huh? her eyes dart to the screen before rising to survey their surroundings.

"uh, i think the next street on the left is the first place?" if she's reading the directions right, anyway.
