[nospaces] [attr="class","julia"] [attr="class","juliaw"] Julia took a moment to imagine what riding on a truly giant Pokémon would be like. "Where would you even put your legs?" she asked, mostly to herself. It was more fun to think about something like that than the horrors of the distortions. [break][break]Chester's right head turned and squawked indignantly at Josh's teasing. Julia took it more lightheartedly, shooting Josh a challenging grin. "Hey, don't underestimate us! Chester's got three hearts and three sets of lungs, so he can keep going a long time." The middle and right heads rose up and cawed proudly. The left, meanwhile, actually kept an eye on the road. When it noticed the light turning red, it conveyed this to the other two, who snapped forward before their shared body skidded to a stop, jostling Julia in the saddle. "See? He goes so hard that he almost forgot to stop!" His embarrassed warble had Julia giggling and giving consoling head pats. [break][break]Once they were past the gate, Julia looked around at all the fancy houses occupying the rather small area. "Yeah, but the houses are a lot bigger than I thought they'd be." Was this what retirement was like? Not that Julia was anywhere close to retirement age. [break][break] "I guess we just go in order," she said as she began digging through the saddlebags. "Let's see, looks like the first house is... Chikako Tanaka. They've just got a few small items, so this shouldn't take long."[break][break]She dismounted Chester, walked up the porch steps to the front double doors, and rang the doorbell. She could hear its clear, bell-like chime coming from inside. The glass, decorated with curled wrought iron, was frosted, but Julia could vaguely see a figure moving inside before the door cracked open, revealing a short old woman accompanied by a Kabuki-trim Furfrou. [break][break] "Yes?" the woman asked, voice wary. Her Furfrou stared steadily at Julia. [break][break] "Miss Chikako Tanaka? I have a medicine delivery for you."[break][break] "Oh!" Chikako opened the door fully, a relieved smile washing over her. She was holding herself up on a silver-handled walking cane. "Of course, you're with the Rangers, aren't you? Thank you so much for this; my old bones aren't what they used to be, so it's hard for me to get out sometimes. I'm sure you know how it is." A not-so-surreptitious glance was aimed at Julia's prosthesis. [break][break]Julia's smile tightened. "I actually don't have any problem walking on this anymore; it'd be tough to be a Ranger if I did. Do you need any help with these?" she asked, trying to shepherd the subject elsewhere. [break][break] "Oh, of course you don't, sweetie; how silly of me. Just set them in the kitchen there." She stepped aside and gestured toward the kitchen. Julia walked in, suddenly feeling way too aware of her bad leg, and set them on the kitchen's island counter. [break][break] "There you go!" Julia said. "Have a great rest of your day!"[break][break] "Oh, just a moment, sweetie! You deserve a little something for all your hard work." She walked to what looked like the living room, her Furfrou right behind her, and plucked something out of a little glass bowl. She returned and dropped it into Julia's hands. "There you go, sweetheart."[break][break] "Thank you!" It was one of those strawberry candies that Julia had never seen sold in stores before but somehow always materialized in old ladies' houses. [break][break]With one last round of farewells and well wishes, Julia stepped back outside, resisting the urge to sigh. Chikako was a nice old lady, but Julia could feel the patronizing sweetness behind her words the whole time. She hoped not every house would be like that. She jumped back onto Chester's back and looked around; if Josh needed some help with the bigger items, she'd be glad to pitch it, but otherwise, it was on to the next house!
