oooh, she is going to burn if she stays out here too long...

why did she come here again? she was going to buy something... oh, well. it's not often she goes out this way. she used to be able to just fly her hydreigon to places, but... that's neither here nor there. it's not anywhere, in fact. one day her little ones will grow up, but they'll never replace what she lost.

her zorua trots alongside her. oh, right! treats! she came here to get a specific type of chew that her canine companions love! there's a shop here that sells them, and so far it hasn't expanded outside of pacifidlog, so she has to go out of her way to get it. in such a pleasant, sunny area, she sticks out like a sore thumb. if maisie minded the stares, though, she wouldn't dress like this.

her eye catches on something. is that...?

without warning, she rushes over to the strange man and his even stranger pokemon. maisie gasps in delight, already fawning over it. "that zoroark...! what a cutie!! i've heard of 'em but never seen one in person!" she gushes, entranced with its wispy fur and sad eyes. her own zorua, however, is puffing up, hiding behind her leg.

Pacifilog is Tempest's hometown. A proud Hoyeon, the rest of the native Hoennites who lived around him respected him. But with his duty to his people also came responsibility when he visited. His father was out trying to help steady the town and piece it back together after the great flood. Tempest had come to help out today.[break][break]

Most of the old grannies had needed assistance with heavy lifting. He'd already helped out at least six of them today and was on his way to the seventh.[break][break]

A heavy load is in his arms, one of his pokemon chasing behind him to help in it's own way, when a girl approaches him, excited. He doesn't recognize MAISIE MAUDLIN, but offers her a smile when she approaches. The Zoroark behind him shifts, white fluff shifting in the breeze, a careful sniff is scented in the wind.[break][break]

"Oh, hey! Yeah, this is Ashes." Tempest tilts his head, giving the girl a quick look up and down. "You a tourist?"

she knows better than to approach an unknown pokemon unprompted, so she holds back, grinning at the creature. "nope! i'm checking out the stock in doggone good goods," she says. "though it sure does look like pacifidlog has seen better days." she'd seen the news, but experiencing the flood in person is a different issue. if she were back in galar, she might have offered to help out with her pokemon. as it is now, only lilith is capable of actually doing any lifting. too bad.

lycidas glares at tempest's zoroark. "th' name's maisie!" she fires off a stiff salute. "and this cutie is lycidas! say hi to your cousin, lycidas!" without warning she whirls around and lifts up the zorua, pulling him into her arms. with his hackles raised, he resembles a dust bunny more than he does a zorua at the moment.

Ashes keeps her eyes locked on the Zorua. A hissing sound similar to laughter escapes the larger fox at the soot sprite showing.[break][break]

"Doggone? Hmm...." Tempest frowned, scratching his cheek as he thought back on that shop earlier. "I think that Auntie Maymay got pretty cleaned out during the flood. I took her some supplies last night, so maybe she got some stuff whipped up?"[break][break]

Tempest looks around for a moment, then waves down a young woman. After a quick exchange, he unloads his burden on the woman with an apologetic wave. When done, he turns back to MAISIE MAUDLIN.[break][break]

"Call me 'Temp'! I'll come with; Auntie Maymay might need me to grab something for her."

maisie rubs her chin. "i see, i see... well, if she doesn't have what i need, i can still try and help out a bit! only seems fair, since she makes bloody good chews." lycidas's favorites are the sawsbuck antlers infused with peanut butter. she has no idea how you even infuse an antler with a certain flavor, but auntie maymay is apparently a master at it.

she puts the zorua down. he's calmed down a little, but he still eyes tempest's zoroark warily. maisie sticks her hand out. "th' name's maisie maudlin. i run a dive in lilycove, 'cept for the fact that we're a bit flooded out right now. had to take a break from fixin' things up, i did." her poor bar... her poor office... things will go back to normal eventually, but everyone is stressed out right now. it's rare to meet a friendly face who isn't already preoccupied.

and so, they had off to see auntie maymay! lycidas trots after maisie, keeping a safe distance from the stranger and his pokemon.

"She's always real proud of her stuff! She sets up a pop-up shop in Slateport sometimes if the trip out here is too much." Thought, honestly, tempest did like the idea of more people coming to the small town to act as tourists. It was just a shame that MAISIE MAUDLIN had come when they were still recovering from the flood.[break][break]

"Yeah? What's it called? I might try and pop in sometime. I don't live out that way, but I travel all over for work." What the work was Tempest would keep to himself, though.[break][break]

Ashes gave another hissing laugh, lowering herself to all fours to pad along beside her Trainer. She kept shooting curious glances back at the smaller fox as they moved.

she keeps pace with him, their footsteps sometimes treading across a puddle of water left over from the flooding. it's a miracle pacifidlog survived at all, maisie thinks, considering its location. "the mausoleum," she responds. "bit of a hole in the wall, but my patrons seem t'like it well enough." not that they're particularly discerning, but she still takes pride in the establishment she built from nothing starting a year and a half ago. that was a period in her life when she wasn't sure she could live, and had been looking for anything that could serve as a life preserver.[break][break]

lycidas catches the zoroark looking at him. he puffs again, but when the larger pokemon doesn't do anything more, he gradually settles in. he even picks up the pace a bit, his own curiosity getting the better of him, so he can get a better look. it is a zoroark, but completely different from what he remembers of his own family. it's a bit uncanny valley, but now that he's settled in, he doesn't feel quite as threatened.[break][break]

then they arrive at the shop, which has seen better days. maisie pokes her head in. "hallo!" she greets the room, before she even sees if anyone's there. lycidas takes this moment to finally approach ashes warily. he sniffs her, not taking his eyes off her for a moment.

Ashes giggles at how silly Lycidas is once again. For her species of Zoroark she was quite relaxed. She was more curious of the Zorua than aggressive or vengeful. She allowed the sniffing before leaning in to sniff the other back.[break][break]

"I'll keep you in mind next time I pop into town." He says, smiling at MAISIE MAUDLIN as they enter the shop. The front is empty but Temp had kind of expected that. "Yo! Auntie!" Is hollered out. His voice is met with some grumbling from the back.[break][break]

"Did you bring those boxes I needed?" 'Auntie Maymay' calls back. She's wiping her hands on a dish towel when she comes through a small door. Something is boiling in the back, smelling vaguely of glue and peanut butter. A brow is raised at Tempest but her expression morphs into surprise then into 'customer service' when she sees Maudlin. "Oh! I didn't know Cuz brought a friend! Can I help you?"

maisie grins. "sorry 'bout poppin' in at a time like this!" she says, cheerful as ever. "i came 'cuz your chews are some of my pokemons' favorites, and the ones i had stashed away all got washed up in the flood." she'd kept them in the cellar storage she mostly used for her bar, so while she'd been able to recover most of her bottles, those poor bones had gotten waterlogged enough that she knew better than to give them to her pokemon. floodwaters are dirty, nasty things, full of bacteria. anything not completely sealed up would have to be tossed.[break][break]

lycidas busies himself with sniffing ashes, but a new scent has started to fill the air. his ears perk up, and his eyes wander to where the scent is coming in strongest. while his trainer is preoccupied with explaining her situation, he starts to plod toward the back door, tail wagging. he glances over his shoulder at the zoroark, almost as if inviting her to come along, bushy tail swishing playfully. "if ya don't have anything new made, though, that's all hunky-dory-- i can see pacifidlog got hit real hard." maisie doesn't notice lycidas go scampering off, as small as he is.
