hatching plans

to put it gently, there was nothing keeping cyrus from exhaling a sigh of relief the second the electric type pokemon came to a stop. with the breeding center a block away, it was easy enough to find an excuse to put distance between himself and the pokemon after such a long walk. and this time, regardless of what shalin wondered, he wouldn't be coming any closer.
[break][break]
the attendant seemed nice enough, even if their curiosity from the way cyrus wouldn't touch an egg was obvious in the look they gave him. but it was no matter- he had finished the job, he had the money, and it was fine. he could go home.
[break][break]
"you, too?" hopefully under better circumstances. or less pokemon-based circumstances, if nothing else.

hatching plans

shalin didn't seem too bothered by the idea of ultra space and the dangers that came with it, but cyrus couldn't help but furrow his brows a bit. it still seemed dangerous, even with things to be expected. the fact that he couldn't think of anything good to come of it both told him that he probably would never step foot there if he could help it and that he wasn't meant to be the exploring type.
[break][break]
which was fine by him. this was as far out in the wilds as he'd like to get, and even that was pushing it.
[break][break]
the beedrill is confirmed to be friendly enough, but words don't do enough to shake cyrus from being nervous about the bug pokemon. as he falls into silence, just for a moment, he tries to remind himself that it's fine- even if shalin hadn't told him anything, he thinks they're far enough away that even the aggressive pokemon won't come towards them. not unless they have to get any closer.
[break][break]
if they do, he'll just leave that to his companion.
[break][break]
as the buzzing subsided and the city came into view, cyrus allowed himself a sigh of relief. sure, there were still pokemon here, but they were mostly under control. and where he didn't have to look at them unless he went out of his way to. "good." once he was done here, he could...collapse, probably. and not think about going near another pokemon for the next week.

once, cyrus would have just come here for the image of the ocean.
[break][break]
not to paint it- not when that's been done a million times before he was born and will be done a million times after he's gone- but to just watch. to see if anything strikes him as inspiration.
[break][break]
in another world, he could have been more certain that's why he's here now. the truth of it is that he couldn't sleep, and, in a region like this, he's sure it's the least worrying thing he could do. he doubts- or hopes- that he isn't the type to bring concern, and it's partially confirmed when he makes it to the beach without too much issue.
[break][break]
there's someone else there, on the docks. at first, his instinct is to ignore her, even if he keeps a partial eye on her just because of the docks, of the crashing water below, and of the way she doesn't seem to notice or care. it isn't- shouldn't be- his problem, and that's what he keeps telling himself.
[break][break]
until he looks up and she's gone.
[break][break]
any semblence of this isn't my problem is replaced just as quickly with the bone-chilling alarm of holy shit did i just witness someone drown, and cyrus, despite not knowing what he'd actually do, found himself scrambling towards the docks before his brain could even halfway catch up and remind him that this was a horrible idea.
[break][break]
"hello?" he doesn't know why he asks anything instead of just diving right in, truthfully. maybe it's some idealized thought that this stranger would have the strength to answer- because, with the churning tide and the darkness of the water, he can't see as well as he would like.

when she says she does miss it, she doesn't clarify exactly what she missed about it- and cyrus, admittedly, is not about to ask. even traveling like this is stressful enough, so there's nothing that could convince him that surviving on his own could be any better.
[break][break]
especially not when she continues, and what she says is more than enough to make him stop in his tracks, just for a second. "on your own?" even as he asks, he finds that he can't wrap his head around it. "isn't that supposed to be really dangerous?"
[break][break]
speaking of dangerous, the buzzing that had gotten so loud before now seemed overpowering. cyrus thinks that the look on his face- one giving away the fact that he was about to bolt- must be obvious, because shalin is quick to reassure him. a glance at the supposed pokemon in question confirms that it...does seem tame, if the saddle is anything to go by.
[break][break]
not that it helps. the size of the pokemon alone is a new source of concern, just as quickly.
[break][break]
"she won't mistake anything as an attempt to hurt her?" namely, his fear if she got any closer than she already was.

hatching plans

despite everything, the walk through the forest wasn't that bad. maybe it was the pokemon that was at cyrus' pace, or maybe the pokemon wanted to bother them about as much as they wanted to be bothered. but, admiteedly, that didn't really sound right.
[break][break]
the tamed- if it could be called that, because cyrus still had his doubts- seemed calm enough, making its way through the woods with the expertise of someone who had done it time and time again. shalin, too, seemed used to it- cyrus was the one that felt like the odd one out, really.
[break][break]
she explained her former job, and the sights she had seen, and it's enough to make him pause. he couldn't imagine going, himself, but they do sound pretty. if you're into that sort of thing- maybe, if things had been different, he could have went to paint them. but the idea seems farfetched with the fact that he can't take any other route.
[break][break]
"do you miss it?" before he says anything else, they pass a plateu, complete with buzzing. very loud buzzing, at that. anything he could think of falters as he keeps an eye out, almost nervously, for any of the bug pokemon that seemed to be much too close for comfort.

when cyrus had declined the answer, he hadn't expected the ranger to walk alongside him. a part of him felt almost bad about it, considering the walk, but he was not going to get on some pokemon's back. if someone held him at gunpoint and told him to, he'd tell them they'd just have to pull the trigger.
[break][break]
at the comment on his work, cyrus hums, rather non-committally. "i'm sure there's work somewhere. anti-war groups. people trying to ignore everything going on." it was just human nature for some people to bury their heads in the sand- not that he could judge. wasn't that kind of what he was doing, right now?
[break][break]
he finds himself desperate to change the subject of the war, even when they find themselves closer to the outskirts of the forest sooner than he would have expected. and cyrus....hates looking in there, where there are so many wild pokemon. the tame ones were dangerous enough.
[break][break]
still, it'd be too far to turn back now. so he steels himself, mentally wishes he had thought to bring bug spray, and directs a question to shalin to try to take his mind off both getting attacked by wild pokemon and getting pulled into a war he doesn't want to be a part of.
[break][break]
"what do you do? when you're not doing ranger stuff, i mean."

if shalin sees anything wrong with his not having any pokemon, then she doesn’t say it- and it’d be hard not to notice, from the silence that follows in the aftermath of it. which, he supposes, is fair enough, considering he also hadn’t commented on the fact that she did. when she does speak, it’s to offer him a ride on the back of the luxray, and cyrus, not for the first time, feels like he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.
[break][break]
he doesn’t want to deal with the walk on his own, but even that seems preferable to trusting a pokemon- a stranger’s, at that- with his safety. “uh. no thank you. i’ll be fine walking.” he’ll hate it, but, once he falls into line with shalin and the pokemon, the idea of it seems less bad.
[break][break]
“i was a freelance artist. back home.” he doesn’t want to admit that, with how new his arrival here is, that he’s mostly just taking on odd jobs to make ends meet. but his answer is stilted and awkward, and he forces himself to offer something more so they’re not walking in silence the whole time. “i haven’t been in hoenn long, so mostly i’m just…doing small things while i try to find something more solid.”

the person- the ranger, cyrus is sure- peeks inside his room, and he’s quick to back away to give her the room she actually needs. totally not because one of the caterpie had noticed him and was inching its way toward the door or anything. he’s sure the look on his face comes off as disgust at the bug pokemon rather than nervousness, but it’s gone in an instant as soon as he puts a decent distance between them.
[break][break]
assuming the caterpie doesn’t decide to try to follow him, anyway.
[break][break]
“i didn’t. i just got here.” a handwave at his bags makes it clear exactly what he means by that. “it was already like this when i opened the door.” the frustration at the whole scenario is still in his voice, and, before he can think twice, he’s already speaking again. maybe it’s the sleep deprivation.
[break][break]
“is it a hoenn thing to surprise people with caterpie when they’ve been traveling all day?” and then, just as quickly at her question-
[break][break]
“go ahead. i’m not sure what could be in there, though.”

The stranger has heard him. For a second, Cyrus is torn between backing down and doubling down on it, but, when she speaks, she just seems to clarify. It doesn’t help much, and he hesitates, finally giving in after a long minute. “Right.”
[break][break]
At the question, something in between a grimace and an awkward smile stretches across his face. It’s mostly more a grimace, he’s sure, before he’s side stepping to allow her a good view into what’s meant to be his room. “See for yourself?”
