▲ When he'd first stumbled across the injured Fletchling on the outskirts of Ornja City, King had wanted to eat the little thing in one bite and ask for the rest of dinner. Blake had shooed the large Arcanine off the poor trembling bird, gently lifting it into his hands and holding it close against his chest as he fashioned a makeshift splint for the broken wing using sticks and the bottom of his own shirt. If the blood on the shirt had spooked the Pokemon, or the scent of death hanging over the area where he'd just cut down a wayward soul only a short time before, the little Fletchling had given no sign. Instead, he cuddled close into Blake and let out the softest of chirped sighs before quickly falling asleep. Having spent the next hour wandering aimlessly with the tiny bird still resting in his arms, it had been by mere chance that he'd come across a small little facility who's crudely made sign told him that it was a Pokemon rehabilitation center, and a newly opened one at that. It had sounded like a decent place to give up the tiny Pokemon a chance, so he'd taken the risk. That was a few years ago, and from time to time Blake still smiled with the memory of his first meeting with Shiori. Now, whenever he found himself in Ornja City he made it a point to stop by and help her out for as many days as he could. Today, looking up at the slightly more impressive sign now written above the entrance he couldn't help but grin a little, eye scrunching up against the glare of the sunlight as a small yappy little dog Pokemon bounced around his feet. "Hush, Sir," he gave a gentle, but firm command to the Lillipup, groaning inwardly as it continued to ignore him and dance around his feet. He'd really have to work on training the puppy but no matter what he tried it didn't seem to work. Ever. "Can you behave just for once? Seriously, make a good impression on Shiori will you? She hasn't met you yet and you are seriously embarrassing me."His pleas fell on upturned and pointed ears as the small brown mass of energy bounced over to sniff a post, raising one leg as he did. Wonderful. MADE BY VEL OF GS |

I WANT TO EMBRACE THIS SUMMER TIGHTLY BECAUSE I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE, ALWAYS The Center had changed so much since it had first opened several years ago. She could remember the days that were spent day and night caring for Pokemon, and how she came to acquire her dear Anya after spending hours healing the Froslass who now seemed to be stuck to her side at all times and helping around in her little Center. The sign was no longer just a crummy, run-down look since she actually expanded the Center a little bit more. It was no longer just two small rooms, having greatly expanded and even had a place outside that was fenced in for some of the Pokemon as well so that they weren’t stuck to being inside. She was still as shy as ever, and it was obvious even meeting her back then that she was just a sheepish girl with a big heart, though it was hard to tell why she was so shy all the time, stumbling over her words and always having problems making eye contact with people in general. It was kind of cute and charming in its own way, listening to her babble on about random things and then apologize for talking too much, only to have her hair fall over her face when she looked down and blushed the same color as the top of a Voltorb. She could hear the little barks from outside of the Rehabilitation Center, unsure of what kind of Pokemon it was, but it was obviously very small and canine, just based on the tone of the yapping. It wasn’t anything familiar though, and with the noise, she abandoned her post putting the poor healing Cubone with the hurt leg to sleep cuddling against a large stuffed toy, pulling her apron off and hanging it up while almost being tripped by Coda on the way to the door. “Ah—hello?” she asked as she opened the door, only to be greeted by a familiar face that almost instantly made her confused look to turn into a sheepish grin. “B—Blake!” she exclaimed, her fingers curling tightly against the doorknob as it took a bit of restraint from her end to go over and just hug him, her cheeks flustered from her own excitement of seeing him again since it had been a while now.

▲ A small grin split his face in two when the owner of the small center opened the door. The grin turned into a laugh when Sir charged full speed at her, eagerly yapping at her feet, paws resting as high up on her shins as the tiny dog-Pokemon could manage. He was so much smaller from his usual pack that it was almost hard to believe that Blake would even bother to raise such a thing. "Sir, calm down. I mean really." He ran a hand through his black hair almost sheepishly, gently nudging the small Lillipup away from Shiori. "Hey... Long time no see?"He was used to dropping by at random times, but it had been months since the last time he'd dropped by. Thankfully she wasn't one who'd be too upset with him for vanishing like that. (Still, Blake was a little fearful that she might have finally moved on. Finally pushed him out of her life and no longer needed someone as twisted as he to be a friend.) MADE BY VEL OF GS |

I WANT TO EMBRACE THIS SUMMER TIGHTLY BECAUSE I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE, ALWAYS The yapping Pokemon caught her by surprise, but what caught her even more by surprise was that familiar face that she hadn’t seen in a while. It was true. It really had been a while since they had actually seen each other, but she was glad that he came by, even if it was hard for her to actually express that in words. Her heart thumped heavily in her chest due to the wonderful surprise, but she giggled at the misbehavior of the small dog Pokemon that couldn’t keep its energy contained. She wasn’t really used to Pokemon like that, considering her patients were all pretty weak and didn’t have that much energy left in them usually, so it was a bit of a breath of fresh air. While the two didn’t know all that much about each other personally, they managed to become pretty good friends over the time that they knew each other. Their friendship was on and off though, and oftentimes they wouldn’t see each other for months on end, but she couldn’t say that she wasn’t happy to see him. She wasn’t exactly sure how to even react upon seeing him, especially since this time it had been such a long time. Shiori paused for a moment, hesitating quite obviously and it was hard to tell what she was thinking, but after several long moments of silence between them, her body moved forward a bit faster than normal and she engulfed him in a large hug that came from such a small woman. It really had been too long. But as someone who normally had a hard time being very touchy with people and being shy all around, it was a really nice sentiment and she didn't know how she mustered up the courage for that big bear hug. Maybe it was because she had known him since close to the beginning of her entire business, and it meant a lot to her. [ OOC ] @bangay MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

▲ A small puff of air escaped him as he found himself suddenly embraced by the much shorter woman. It wasn't that she was strong, not really. She'd simply startled him with a display of affection he hadn't honestly expected out of her. Oh sure he'd seen her from time to time holding hands with that ranger who was her partner (and Blake did his best to stay out of his way. Silas, something?) but the two of them never really... touched. It just wasn't part of their own relationship. Not that he minded, however. Grin growing a little more Blake wrapped his own arms around her a moment, ignoring the slight twinge of a few day old bruise on his ribs as he did so. He kinda liked the hug, as uncharacteristic as it may be. Letting her go after a few moments (more for Shiori's sake than his own) he gave his small, still yapping Puppy Pokemon another gentle nudge with the toe of his boot. "I guess you've already met Sir then, huh?"A sheepish rub to the back of his neck, followed by him bending down to pick up the tan monstrosity. "Kaz will like seeing you too, though he's a bit tired. I'll let them out later. Sir here still needs to learn some manors..." His voice trailed off, lost in thought a moment. "So, need any help? You've got me for at least a day. Anything you want, I'm here to do."MADE BY VEL OF GS |

I WANT TO EMBRACE THIS SUMMER TIGHTLY BECAUSE I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE, ALWAYS After several long moments of memory relapse, she suddenly went back to her old sheepish self, quickly detaching herself from the tall male and biting her lip bashfully. “S—sorry,” she apologized without thinking, clearing her throat slightly and lifting her hand to scratch the back of her head. She looked away from him out of habit and being unable to make eye contact with people in general, coughing into her hand out of awkwardness. She couldn’t deny that she liked hugs, but it was just a matter of sheer awkwardness on her part and the shyness that often overcame her from any situation, redness apparent in her face due to embarrassment. The yapping puppy caught her attention, though, which made her feel a little bit more at ease and as though they could just forget about the sudden hug that just happened. She knelt down and giggled a little bit and said, “Hello there, little guy!” watching Blake bending down to pick up the yapping Pokemon before she stood back up as well, watching the little one squirm around a little bit which just caused a smile on her face. “Ah—that’s okay! He’s really cute! I’m sure that the twins miss seeing your Pokemon too! You know Cadence always loved to hang out with Kaz,” Shiori commented, but then suddenly realized that she had just been standing in the doorway, “I—I’m sorry come on in!” She shifted herself out of the way in order to let him in the doorway, closing the door behind him just to make sure that none of her residents that were healing would get out before they were all better. Shifting between feet, she watched the twins begin a chorus of meows as they approached the familiar visitor, sniffing him again as per usual before rubbing their faces against him. She scratched the back of her head, trying to think of anything that he could really help her with. “Well… uh… I actually can’t think of anything right now. I just got done working on a Cubone but it seems the little one is sleeping now. Do you—ah do you want some tea or something? I’m sure you probably have been out for a while and need a rest…”[ OOC ] @bangay MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

▲ He couldn't help but grin at her sheepish smile, enjoying for a moment the color of red that she always turned when flustered. It was always cute to him, in that teasing-older-brother kind of way. Even the familiar motion of her scratching the back of her head and looking away without making eye contact was adorable. Blake would never force her to do anything she didn't want to, either, which is why the hug had surprised him so much. A soft laugh at the mention of Cadence had him following Shiori inside. "He's been such a hassle to train though. I wonder if he understands anything. Often I don't even think he knows his own name, if I'm being honest."Blake knelt once he was through the door, holding Sir under one arm so that he'd have one hand free to tickle the Umbreon and Espeon pair as they came to greet him. "Cadence, Coda. Looking at healthy as always I see." Blake gently rubbed beneath the female's chin, fingers switching to scratch gently behind the male's long ears. "Beautiful and majestic, the both of you."He glanced up at her from his spot on the floor, eye barely sparkling with mirth. "Tea, would be nice. Or coffee if you have it? I just need a kick of caffeine to keep from passing out is all."He carefully set Sir on the floor after having paid his respects to two of Shiori's three Pokemon, keeping his eye on him as he sniffed out the twins. He'd step in if Sir began pestering them too much; it wasn't worth aggravating either of them for his annoying puppy. "A Cubone? What's wrong with them?"Shiori Akiyama tbh I just got super confused about her Pokemon icons for a second. (It's late. RIP me.) MADE BY VEL OF GS |

I WANT TO EMBRACE THIS SUMMER TIGHTLY BECAUSE I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE, ALWAYS Shiori took a few steps back to let him into the little center that she ran, shifting herself between feet and looking down at them as she let him in. At the mentioning of Cadence, she knew that it probably sounded a little bit awkward, but she knew that the espeon was fond of the other’s Pokemon. She smiled at his comment a bit though, knowing that some Pokemon were just harder to train at times than others, and nothing about their size told the trainer whether or not they would be a difficult Pokemon, kind of like a rambunctious child at times. The twins gratefully took in the rubs from the other’s hand as he came into the building. “Ah—come on you two… at least let him sit down, you know,” she pouted slightly as the two Pokemon gave a glance back at her and finally dispersed. Clearing her throat, she mumbled, “Anya is outside caring for some of the other Pokemon, but y—you know that the twins like to stay inside…” her voice trailing off a bit at the end before jumping back up, “Yeah! I have coffee.” She had a single-serve brewer in a cabinet (mostly so the Pokemon in the center couldn’t get to it and break it), and she pulled it out, setting it on the counter and filling it with water before grabbing a mug for him. Focusing on the one task of making him coffee was kind of soothing and helped her calm down a bit because she wasn’t looking at anyone and kept her mind on one thing. The twins made a few more noises in greeting of the puppy Pokemon, but left him alone for the most part. At the question about the Cubone, Shiori gave a soft sigh and said, “I—I’m not really sure what happened, but she hurt her leg and can’t really walk on it. So I wrapped up her leg and I think she’s napping right now in the other room but I will have to get her some medicine soon,” she spoke rhythmically, almost seeming to be making a list in her head as she got his coffee brewed, taking it over to him before saying, “Mmm… careful… it’s kind of hot,” biting her lip as she set the mug in front of him and shifting herself back a bit. She seemed a bit uncomfortable with the mug for some reason, though gave no sort of explanation as to why her demeanor changed slightly, shifting back a bit farther than intended after placing the mug in front of him. She seemed a bit more skittish than usual... and that was saying something. [ OOC ] @bangay MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |
