Jethro looked down at the handwritten instructions, then back up again at the large sign of a smiling Audino that looked too damn cheerful for it's own good. He was starting to get the sinking feeling that he'd traveled to the wrong homestead. [break][break]

It had been obnoxious enough when old McGillicutty from just across the holler had roped him into this egg delivery business, but Jethro couldn't deny that he desperately needed a favor in return. There were fences that needed fixing, soil that needed tilling, and Jethro was only one man, so when McGillicutty had promised to loan his boys to give him a hand with sprucing up his little parcel of land, Jethro couldn't refuse. [break][break]

But now that he was here, staring at the chick-scratch directions that the old coot had written down for him, Jethro was starting to become aware of some discrepancies. What he thought said Duvet Ranch was starting to look a little more like Dubois Ranch. Maybe he'd passed a place like on the way over? And he thought these eggs were supposed to be heading to a local daycare, not a privately owned property. [break][break]

Jethro sighed with agitation as the bull next to him lowed impatiently, saddlebags full of eggs resting across the Tauros' back. The old ex-Ranger leaned against some nearby fencing and glowered; alright, so he'd probably have to hit the road again soon, but Jethro was damned if he was hitting the old dusty trail again before he got a chance to rest his tired feet. Maybe if he moved out quickly enough, the homeowner wouldn't realize there was a stranger loitering on their property.

Jethro's entry into Duvet Ranch didn't go unnoticed. A pair of Audino approached the man. The more sociable of the two, Dede, continued to approach the man, greeting him cheerfully. Meanwhile, Bunni, the shyer of the two, went off to retrieve her master, let him know he had company.

Given that this assignment was arranged by McGillicutty, Thomas was already well on his way to greet the ex-Ranger, meeting Bunni down the middle, and giving her a reassuring pet on the head. The two then walked over to meet Jethro, and Dede.

Thomas, who's hair had blackened, and face scarred up since their last encounter, greeted the man. "Unova get too boring for you, Jethro?", Thomas teased the Ranger. "It's been almost six years now, how have you been?", Thomas greeted the man, offering him a handshake.

Despite the lingering agitation brought on by exhaustion, Jethro had to bite back a smile at the sight of the first tottering Audino that greeted him. They were such sweet creatures, with those wide blue eyes and gentle dispositions. He waved to it casually and pushed himself off of the fence, turning and suddenly noticing a man striding up to meet him. [break][break]

It took Jethro longer than he would have liked to recall where he'd first seen the presumed homeowner that greeted him with such familiarity. The dark hair didn't ring any bells, but the vague lilt of Kalos in the man's voice did. Just where in the hell did Jethro know him from? [break][break]

When the realization finally struck him, it did so with all the force of a freight train. Thomas, the Kalosian? A ranch-hand that he had worked with back in Unova, whose presence had drawn in the gawking eyes and affections of locals who were enamored by his accent and work ethic. Jethro laughed with some disbelief as he took the man's hand to return the shake with a firm grip, [break][break]

“Well ain't you a sight for sore eyes!” Jethro exclaimed with a delight he hadn't felt in ages, “Could ask ya the same, Thomas.” [break][break]

His mood soured somewhat when he recalled just why he'd moved in the first place, and Jethro's eyes drifted to the scars across Thomas' face. It looked like the younger man had seen his own share of suffering since they'd last met, too, [break][break]

“Been better, all told, but I'm gettin' along. How 'bout you?”

Thomas noticed the look on the cowboy's face. Whatever brought him to Hoenn, it clearly wasn't good. The only question was whether or not he should press further.

"Had my ups and downs, to be honest. All things considered, I'm getting along myself.", Thomas replied to Jethro. Though he was happy with life on the Ranch, and his time with , the dangers looming over the horizon constantly haunted him. His greatest fear was losing everything to Rocket, or the many cosmic forces that assailed their world.

A fear that had only been exacerbated by his exposure to Ting Lu's influence in Area Zero the prior month. It had created tension between him and Desiree, something he regretted.

Bunni briefly ran off, as the two men were talking. Eventually, she returned, offering the older man a bottle of water.
