[attr="class","kazu2"]As a child, Kazuya had enjoyed his visits to Fall Arbor town. It brought up memories of his grandmother. A scarred woman whose entire lie had been dedicated to holding a volcano in check. An enemy whose reflection was plain in her spitfire temper and tendency toward privacy. She had died while he was in prison. Buried in a ceremony that he had not been allowed to see.
[break][break]

Today, he intended to visit her grave. A single flower—her favorite—was laid on top of her tombstone. A plate-sized hand planted on cool stone as he murmured a prayer to some unseen god. He did wis unto her peace. For such a thing would bore her to tears. Instead, he bid her happiness in whatever existence continued. But this task seemed hollow.
[break][break]

To honor his memory, Kazuya knew he would have to assist the town she called home.
[break][break]

The ash coated everything like a worn-out blanket. One of the itchy, scratchy ones you find buried at the bottom of your grandmother’s closet. The town’s beauty was all but invisible. Even his grandmother’s house, a lovely little cottage, was lost beneath a layer of soot. “Misa.” The Wooper stopped its races around a mud puddle. Its bright eyes lifted to Kazuya’s inscrutable ones. “Per?” Its head tilted.
[break][break]

He swept his arm in an arc toward the town itself. The drab, grey wash covered every visible surface. “Let’s lend these people a hand.” His mouth did not move, but his voice was clear. “I will buy mochi on the way home.” With a delighted chirp, the Axolotl blasted a burst of water at a nearby storefront. Yellow peeked through as the thin layer of ash congealed and rolled down the storefront.
[break][break]

Then, the Wooper turned to unleash another Water Gun. But this time, its target had a face.

Kae had never considered herself much of a humanitarian.[break][break]

Not that she like, disagreed with the idea of humanitarian aid, or anything. What kind of monster would disagree with that? She'd just never really personally participated in it. She'd always been the type of person to like, donate when prompted at a retail register, or get sad when hearing about bad things on the evening news. Little things like that.[break][break]

But she was in a new era of her life, and she wanted to start off doing like, good things. Things that helped people. So when she'd heard about a project headed by League Rangers to help clean up Fallabor Town, she'd made yet another impulsive decision. She'd never been to Fallabor, nor had she ever done any environmental clean-up, but she wanted to try.[break][break]

When the day arrived, it was... exactly as expected. Just as advertised, Fallabor was a town covered in a semi-permanent layer of soot from the volcano to the south. She walked through the center of town, wondering where she was even supposed to start. At her side, her floragato Viri padded eagerly, though he seemed rather reluctant to get his paws dirty.[break][break]

And then, out of nowhere, she was blasted in the face with a WATER GUN.[break][break]

Sputtering, Kae stepped back, completely disoriented. Blinking her eyes in an attempt to clear them, Kae ran a hand down her face, wiping some of the leftover water away. At her side, Viri looked equally as shocked, but his surprise soon faded into mrows of laughter, much to her chagrin.[break][break]

Once Kae had gotten her bearings, she took a look at the man and the wooper who had... attacked her? A small part of her wanted to get angry and call them out, but a much larger part of her... did something very different. "I'm, um... sorry?" she said. In her heart of hearts, she knew she'd done nothing wrong, but apologizing still felt like the safest move.

[attr="class","kazu2"]The man could not gasp in astonishment. Nor could he shout a warning. The device that brought him a voice would never match the reaction time of human vocal cords. So, instead, he watched the disaster unfold in real time—the Wooper’s attack slamming into the woman’s face with all the power a baby amphibian could muster. "!?" A frown passed to the tiny water type as its grin shriveled like grapes in Lavaridge. [break][break]

The apology received a shake of the head in response as Kazuya made his way toward her. His expression was one of soft concern. Golden eyes crinkled at their edges with sympathy. But any softness was often lost behind the man’s frame—a teetering height of nearly seven feet enough to make most people’s blood run cold. Again, his mouth did not move, but his words were clear and crisp. “I believe it is us who should apologize.” A pointed glance at Misa made the water type shrink. “Misa is…excitable.”[break][break]


Flat feet kicked sheepishly at the stones beneath her. “Woo. Wop.” Deciding this would suffice, the man unfurled his flannel scarf from his neck. Beneath it a nasty scar—ear to ear—became visible. The thick fabric reeked of men’s cologne. “Here.” The fabric itself was pretty absorbent. It should work as a towel in a pinch.[break][break]
