Arwen was glad she wasn't sick but something just didn't seem right. He saw her Pokemon whine, but he wasn't sure what it was whining about.
"There's an inn above the bar actually, I've never stayed here, so I'm not sure of the price, I'm actually camping nearby. That's basically as cheap as it gets." Arwen smiled, "I have a spare tent if you want to borrow it."

In the corner, she could see Aedan and Sirius had curled up, sleeping soundly while the steady beat of rain remained outside along with occasional thunder. And here a young man she barely knew was offering her temporarily living arrangements. She felt like a total jerk. Apparently there were still some humans capable of kindness. She hated to know she wasn't always necessarily one of them.
Considering the inn was probably more than she could afford, especially since Kishi wouldn't go in a pokeball, she looked at Arwen with sincere eyes. Eyes that hadn't shown anyone warmth in years. "If you wouldn't mind, i'd like that." she smiled.

Arwen packed up the food and stuck half the leftovers in his bag and gave her the rest, he left a modest tip. Arwen recalled most of his Pokemon, except Replica, who transformed into a large tarp that they could carry to keep the rain off.
Arwen led Lexika through the town, and into a small grove of trees, the thick matting of leaves above them provided adequate protection from the rain. Arwen brought the spare tent out of the one he had already set up, and quickly built it for Lexika. It wasn't large, but it would house her and all of her Pokemon, if she wished.
Arwen let all of his Pokemon out to enjoy the fresh air, he smiled at Lexika, "Is there anything else you need? I'm not going to bed for a little while, so I can run and grab something if you need it."

Lexika returned Aedan and Sirius to their pokeballs while Kishi remained at her side. She followed after Arwen, as Kishi looked around wagging his tail happy that the major part of the storm was over and all they were left with was a simple drizzle of rain.
She watched Arwen carefully, as she'd never set a tent before. Once she saw how it worked she'd make note of buying one later for her and her pokemon to use. "Is there anything else you need? I'm not going to bed for a little while, so I can run and grab something if you need it." he asked. She smiled, "No. No, you've done enough already." Kishi looked up at her with a funny face, then trotted into the den. Obviously, he didn't want his fur to get any more dampened, though by now it was merely a mist.
Taking a towel out of her satchel she laid it on the ground and sat down, hugging her legs to her body as she stared up at the sky through the trees. Not much was visible, but she could make out a few stars twinkling by now. When was the last time she let her guard down to enjoy something? It'd been a while. She was always moving, always chasing generally, and she rarely let herself be for time to herself. Though Arwen was here, and she hated humans for the most part, she felt fine by being here. "You're welcome to sit by the way." she said lightly, gesturing to the towel on the ground.

Arwen happily joined her, "I love the stars." He looked up at the dots slowly appearing across the sky as the clouds faded away, "I try to look at them every night. That's why I enjoy living in the forest, I can see the stars so well without all the lights of the villages, it's amazing how much you can't see."
Arwen watched as his Pokemon began to drift off to sleep, Eliza moved gently into a crook in the trees and drifted off, Phantasma retracted into the Odd Keystone, Honey fell asleep holding onto the jar, almost like a comfort animal, Replica moved into Curla's pouch and slowly wiggled into a comfortable position. Curla checked on the rest of the Pokemon, and moved into the tent, already ready for bed.
Arwen glanced at Lexika, noticing her finally seeming to relax.

She smiled. "I used to go star-gazing with my sister almost every night. Then father would scold us for being out so late. I haven't really done it much since then." she murmured. It had been so long...but still Lex loved the stars and the night, almost as much as she hated it. It was a beauty and a curse all in one. Shaking her head she stood.
All of Arwen's pokemon had gone to sleep, as had Kishi. She wasn't sure what to do now but follow suit, and once generating a large yawn she laughed. "I guess i'd better go to bed as well." She began to retreat to the tent, but then strolled back over to Arwen. "Thank you. For everything." she said. Bending forward ever so slightly she planted a light kiss on his cheek then walked into the tent. Peeking her head out she grinned wickedly. "Oh, and don't even think about telling anyone that Lexika the Bounty Hunter has gone soft. By morning i'll be just as fierce as normal."
Once inside the tent Lex pulled a blanket out of her bad and threw it over herself. Kishi who was already sound asleep in the corner, snored lightly. Moving close she let her head rest lightly on him before falling asleep.

Arwen also went to bed, surprised at the kiss, it was the only intimate encounter he could remember since his "father" left. But it shocked him anyways, he grinned at her statement of going soft, and he lay on the ground and looked at the stars for some time, a few meteors shot across the sky, and he smiled.
He got up and went into the tent, and saw Curla sleeping and he patted her gently on the head, "Night Curla." He moved under the warm blankets and fell asleep, exhausted from today for some reason.

Sunlight made its way through the thin walls of the tent and Lexika rolled over, stuffing her face into the crook of her arm. Next to her Kishi stood with a stretch and began licking Lexika's bare arm. "Stop..." she grumbled. Mornings and Lex didn't mix. Sitting up she shook her head with a look of distaste. Kishi, obviously unperturbed, walked out of the tent flap. "Good morning to you to." she grumbled.
Looking through the tent she gathered her things, packing them up and shoving them into her bag. After fixing her hair and changing her clothes quickly she stepped out to find Kishi marking the tree as his. Smiling she found the towel she'd accidentally left outside and decided to sit, noticing that Arwen had yet to awake. She'd thought about leaving him a note and running off, but decided against it. He deserved more than that.

Arwen awoke to Curla tapping him on the shoulder, letting him know it was time to get up. He stretched and came out of the tent and saw Lexika's Mightyena urinating on the tree, he laughed a bit inside. He saw Lexika and waved as he walked over, "Good morning!" He smiled, "Are you hungry? I can make breakfast."
Arwen looked at her, she was all fixed up, it seems she had been awake for awhile, or she was just naturally a good sleeper to not mess up her hair.

Lexika turned to look at Arwen. Squinting her eyes against the sun she smiled. "Ah, breakfast. I'm good for now, but go ahead." she shrugged. Laying down she closed her eyes and yawned. She slept well, but still she felt sleep tugging at her heels.
Kishi padded over to lay down next to Lex, his eyes worried. She rested a hand on him while keeping her eyes closed. "That reminds me, we introduced ourselves last night, but i don't think we introduced our pokemon."

Arwen had already started preparing breakfast, the fire from last night had been monitored by Eliza, so it was still burning with a decent flame, "I'll make you some anyways, most likely you'll be hungry later." He smiled as he threw some meat and potatoes into the skillet, along with a little honey, he didn't have any oil on hand.
He listened to as she talked about introducing her Pokemon. "You are right!. He whistled and his Pokemon slowly appeared. "This might take a minute." He pointed to the ditto, "This is Replica," then the Spiritomb, "Phantasma," then the Blissey, "Curla," then the Combee, "Eliza," then the Munchlax, "and this is Honey."
They waved, it was quite a sight. They just sat and waved...it was a little odd Arwen thought...they seemed hypnotized.

Lexika laughed. "Quite the team you have there." she smiled. Taking out her pokeball's she let out her pokemon who all yawned. "Well, Kishi is the Mightyena here." she smiled. "He nevers goes in a pokeball. Hated me for trying when i first met him. Anyways. Houndour here is Aedan, and my newest member is the tricky little Sirius the Electrike." she chuckled. Sirius barked happily, pouncing on Aedan who gave a small growl. (writing isn't good, sorry)

Arwen laughed as he finished making breakfast, handing Lexika a plate of food, the smell wafting towards her nose.
Arwen set out several plates for her pokemon and dished out others for his own, who still seemed hypnotized by Lexika...this was certainly odd...Arwen looked past the situation, "Well, what are you off to do now? I'm assuming you have places to be, things to do, people to see, Pokemon to catch?" Arwen was sad that he was likely to see her go, but, life goes on...and he'd likely forget about her...stupid memory issues...
