Blinking, she looked up at him, the smile gone from her face. "You're going to leave...?" Something about that statement caused her stomach to drop, but she acted like nothing was wrong at all. "Are we allowed to even do that? I thought we'd have to always live at the HQ."
Looking around, she felt her lips twitch in an attempt at a smile. It was rather nice there, and her pokemon really would enjoy spending a bit of time in an outside area that wasn't roasting hot like an oven.

"Not leave leave, just go on undercover missions and the like. Probably. It depends on what I get assigned. We have jobs to do, that's what we are training for." he shrugged. He didn't think much of it. It was nice being able to have a room to go back to, but it wasn't enough for him. He was the type that needed new scenery from time to time. Thus why he left base so often. At some point, he knew he would be all over this island, and possibly to others as the team got larger again. To travel would be nice, and to have a base that wasn't in the desert was even better. His eyes looked far off as he imagined some of the other places he would go and he keep walking, no longer paying attention to where he was going.

Kofuku continued gazing up at him, then realized that people were having to weave around them since Panther was no longer really leading them anywhere. At first, she wasn't going to do anything about it, but then there was a bend in the path with a large lamp post dead ahead. Tightening her hold on Panther's arm, she leaned fully into him to use her own weight to at least get him to turn, if not just to get his attention.

Being 6'2", and of a solid weight for his height, Panther was not easy to move off of his course once he was on it. He seemed to absorb her weight, strong enough to hold another human up easily, and upon tightening around his arm, she found a good layer of muscle, not that of a weight lifter, but of someone a little more streamline, underneath the clothing. Like he worked out, which was possible considering the HQ's multiple facilities for that.
At any rate, he kept his course steady for the light pole, still not noticing till after he found something that could stop his bulk. Solid steal.

Kofuku quickly realized that he wasn't moving an inch and, despite her attempts of moving him, she let go the second before he hit the light pole, covering her face with her hands as she waited for the sounds of the impact. Her cheeks were flushed from having felt what lay under his clothes.

"At full walking speed his nose whacked into the pole and his body crumpled backwards into and elegant but awful fall. He snapped back to his feet a moment later, hands up and looking for an opponent, but only finding the pole. With his glasses half hanging off his face he couldn't help but laugh. "You could have told me or something..." he rubbed his nose, hand coming away with blood. "Ah damn."

Peeking through her fingers when she heard the solid impact, she quickly went to help him. "I tried, even to the point of throwing my weight against you; it didn't do much... you've got some serious muscle." At the site of the blood coming down from his nose, she quickly changed attitude.
"If your nose doesn't hurt too much, you need to pinch at the bridge and tilt your head back a bit. Not too much or it'll go down the back of your throat." She knew a thing or too about bloody noses.

"mmm..." he pinched his noes, eyes tearing up automatically. "Owe. it's been a while since I got one of these. If anyone asks, there was three of them and they got the jump on us." he tried to laugh but winced instead, tilting his head back. "Wish I had a napkin." he sat down, legs folding into Indian style as his body dropped to the ground again.

And just like that, all of the potential romance of the date was gone. Kofuku gently got down on her knees and softly wiped away the budding tears. "Hey, where are the nearest public bathrooms? I'll get some wet and dry paper towels to help clean this all up."

"I'm not crying. It hardly hurts. I don't know where any bathrooms are." he tilted his head forward and blood dripped down his face. He tried to catch it with his other hand. "Awe Crap. I'm bleeding a waterfall out my nose. Much more and someone might mistake it for an attack."

"Your eyes were watering..." Giving a sigh, she got up and slipped off her high-heeled sandals. "I'll be back, I'm going to find a bathroom and get something to plug up that nose." She gave him one last worried look, then ran off quickly without shoes; something she was terribly used to.
It didn't take her long to find a public restroom, get some paper towels, both wet and dry, as well as some toilet paper to pug up his nose with. Stepping back up to him, she smiled. "I found it..."

He was doing his best not to drip on the ground, annoyed by his sudden inability to move. One person had even stopped to ask him if he needed any help but he had waved them off saying he was fine and that his friend would be back in a minute.
He was very thankful for the towels and grabbed the dry ones to wipe away the initial bloody snot that had formed around his face and on his hands. More blood continued to stream out his nose as he cleaned up, bruises already forming around the top of his nose. "Sorry about this. I must look a mess." he removed the glasses putting them on his shirt. They were bent anyway.

The fact that he had blood all over him didn't distract her, and Kofuku snorted a little. "You look fine, Panther. Here, shove some toilet paper up there to clot the blood a bit so we can wipe you down." She held out her fistful of the soft, white paper to him as she shook out a wet piece of paper towel to get ready to clean Panther's face.

"Yeah, but people are staring." he grabbed the toilet paper and twisted it, putting it up the bleeding nostril and then let her attack his face, as he still held the bridge of his nose.

"So let them stare..." Her words came out as a soft murmur as she gently wiped his face and then used a dry towel to get rid of the moister. Giving a soft chuckle, she looked into his eyes with a half-grin. "Look, there is a real boy under all this..."
