Skye's ears twitched in response to Mau's question. "Pikachu pi pikaaaa!" He flailed about in fort of Mau, trying to give him a hint of what was his favorite.
Cal smiled, "He really likes spicy berries and poffins." She looked a Skye, who looked a bit relieved. "I can use both." She showed him the palm of her hand. "That scar is from teaching myself with sticks. It got me good."

"Spicy? That's good then. I have a couple figgy berries." While the water was heating up, he reached into his bag again for the soft, strange flask shaped berry. Finding one, he pulled it out and offered it to the pokemon. Vaporeon huffed and looked at Mau. "Don't worry Aki, I have some for you too." He handed Aki berry which caused the vaporeon to squeak in glee and nibble on it.
Mau looked at the scar on Cal's hand. "Ouch. But man, that's dedication."

Skye excitedly took the berry, with his cheeks sparking. He gobbled down the Figgy berry with a squeal of delight. The quickest way to Skye's heart was through his stomach. When he finished the berry, he curled up by Mau.
"Great, he likes you." She rolled her eyes sarcastically and smiled. "It's was more than dedication. It was a life or death kind of thing, ya know?" Her smile never left her face as she said this. No tone in her voice gave away if what she was telling was just some tale.

Mau took a chance and gently pet Skye between his ears. "Well, no actually, I don't know. I've not been in that kind of situation. Even when I was a kid trying to take on the league, oh yes, I was such a looser kid, but I never had it that hard. If I needed something... Ah..." He shook his head. "It wasn't hard to steal what I needed. Guess I was born to steal!"

This time Skye didn't spark, he didn't want to scare his new friend. Or better yet, giver of food. His fur still had a stack cling to it from his previous sparking.
Cal snickered to herself as she thought about how long ago Mau was a child. "I've gotten myself out of some tough situations." She shrugged casually, "But I only resorted to stealing if I had to."

"You probably grew up with some better influences then I did." He looked over at the pot. "Ah, it's boiling." He opened the ramen and added it, turning down the flame a little. When he settled again, he looked back to Cal.
"So what kind of scrapes did you get into?"

"Well, I've been," She rolled her eyes and waved her hands dismissively, "Around. I got caught pit pocketing by the officers when I first started out." She sighed, "That wasn't to much fun. That's why I don't usually steal." She smiled at Mau, "Nothing to do with my influences at all."
She leaned back into the grass taking in the sweet scent of he grass, looking up at the sky. "When I learned how to start a fire, I was stuck on a mountain. That was suuuuper fun." She looked Mau, "What about you?"

"Hm... started by getting chased out of pokemarts with my buddy when I was a kid. Honestly I caught Aki with a pilfered pokeball. Didn't get caught for the first time till I was, oh, I don't know. 13 maybe? But that was more or less the way my life worked. Too young to do honest work, so did what I needed to get what I wanted." He thought a moment then, dug through his bag to find a wooden spoon and stirred the raman a little. Not done yet.
"You know, I'd never seen snow till I was about your age." Change of topic. The last thing he needed was for to ask what ELSE he's done, other then petty theft.

"You were obviously better than me. I didn't really get good at it until I was about 15." Cal respected the change of subject, "I used to live pretty close to the snow. I went there when I, uh, was bored." She looked away a little uneasy. Her stomach growled when she smelled the ramen almost done, signaling a better topic to talk about. "How much longer?" She wiggled, but waited politely for him to tell her it was ready.

"Heh.. I'm sorry. Snow always fascinates me because I grew up in a desert." He stirred the Ramen again. "Ah, probably as good as done. You got a bowl or something?" Mau had 2, but... well, one was Aki's food dish. He didn't think she would like eating out of that. He reached into his bag to pull out the one he would use for his food, unless Cal didn't have one. He'd just eat from the pot and scrub it out after.

"It's not so much fun once you get stuck in it." She sighed, oddly happy about this. "And let me see..." She dug around in her backpack, "Here it is!" She pulled out a beat up thermos and a food bowl for Skye. "Never leave the base without it." She unscrewed the top and downed the liquid inside, taking a gulp of air afterwords. "The desert huh?" She fanned herself, "The desert has always been too hot for my blood."

Mau smiled and took the thermos when she had finished what was in there and filled it with hot noodles before filling his own bowl. "Yeah. What can I say though? I like it hot. I'd be perfectly happy staying in HQ in the desert. But then I have a bored little Vaporeon to deal with." Aki blinked lazily, staring at Mau. "I suppose you and Skye would like some poffins, right?"
"Vee?" Mau set down his bowl before taking a small sack from his bag.
"I think I've got some spicy ones in here if Skye would like them. But if he isn't picky with poffins then..." He sort of trailed off, not sure how to finish. "I swear Aki was born a Snorlax in an Eevee's body. My little trash compacter, that's what you are."

"I'd give him the spicy poffins to keep on his good side." She nodded to Skye. He was very picky indeed. He never tried many of the things Cal made for him, though her other pokemon adored her cooking. "You're very affectionate to Aki." She smiled at them, "Would the little trash compactor like some of the snaks I made?"
Skye prodded Mau for more spicy poffins. "Pika? Pikachu?" He could smell the poffins in his bag and he definatly wanted more.
She poured a portion of the ramen into the cap, slurping very unladylike from it. "Oh," she paused, "Sorry about that." She didn't know if this would offend him, though she never seemed to care.

Mau dug out the spicy poffins and gave several to Skye, and a handful of random flavors to Aki. Mau thought a moment about Cal's comment but before he could reply, she was apologizing for slurping her soup. "It's ok. I forgot forks and spoons so... Slurping is the only way to eat! Unless you think noodles are a finger food." He took a slurp of his own soup. "Aki and I have been together for a long time. He was my only friend for quite a while."
He watched Aki gnaw on a ... less then perfect poffin that had gotten a little burnt among other things. But Aki didn't seem to care. "I don't think he'd object to anything you offered him. You could probably hand him a tin can and tell him it's food and he'd try to eat it, then get mad cause it's not really food."

Skye stared in awe at the mountain of poffins placed before him. His mouth water and he gave a squeal of excitement, counting and recounting the spicy treats. He picked one up, only to put it down for another one. He had no idea where he would start! after a great deal of concentration, he began to pig out on his treats. He cheeks became stuffed with poffins.
Cal giggled at Skye, "Don't eat so fast! You'll get a stomach ache." She knew he wasn't listening to a word she said so she turned her attention back to Mau. "You're right," she smiled as she took big gulps of soup, "I enjoy it more this way." She wiped the excess broth from her mouth and sighed. She was full and happy. "That's so cool!" She looked at Skye who was still busy stuffing his face, "I've been with him since I became a grunt." She handed some snacks to Aki, "Here, eat up."
