Sorano blanched. Whu, how? How could she possibly think of herself like that?!
"Girlie, yer not that!" he frowned. "Think betta of yaself, yer nothing of the sort!"
He pulled her up with whatever lingering strength that still remained in her hands and watched her toddle to her feet.
"Changin' seems like it would be fer tha betta. Seems ya might be a lil' cold." he nodded, casting her a smile. "I'm all ears when yer done, I dun' mind bein 'ere to listen."
He shrugged against the wall and gestured towards Fuku with his chin. "Go an' and git 'er done, I'll be waitin'."

Although her mouth pulled up into a smile, it didn't quite reach Kofuku's eyes, but she still nodded. "I'll be fast." She gave him a little wave, then walked down the hall and disappeared around the corner on the way to her room.
It felt nice to have someone to talk to... someone who wasn't going to be full of 'I told you so' like Faleen was going to be. Kofuku, the instant she was in her room, had thrown the clothes into a corner and changed into a t-shirt and shorts. Grabbing her pokeballs off of the dresser and shoving them into her pockets, the girl slipped on some sandals and grabbed a pair of hair ties to put her hair back up into pigtails. Making one last reach to the tissues on her desk, she shoved a fist full of them into her pockets as well, then headed out to meet back up with Sorano.
She walked down the hall, feeling a bit better after having completely cried her eyes out and then changing out of those clothes. Turning the corner, a small smile came onto her face as she approached. "Thanks for doing this for me... I don't even know your name."
Sniffling, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a tissue, blowing her nose into it, then rubbing at her eyes, which felt itchy now after so many tears. Her heart still felt heavy, but at least now she was out of tears. Despite the puffy red of her eyes, she did look a bit better now that her face wasn't scrunched up in tears.

"Name's Sorano, Sorano Dinkley. An' it not be a problemo. I dun' mind be a walkin' diary." he said, reaching out a hand for a handshake. It was common with him, whether the individual was male or female. "Yerself? What name did tha 'rents grace ya with?"
Beckoning her down the hall, he smiled. "Come, walk an' talk with me. I'mma be all ears fer ya 'ight now. What in the bloody world happen? Ya gots a bad dare er somethin'? That ain't casual attire fer a girl ta be walkin' 'round with 'ere at TRHQ."

"Kofuku Minamaya." She quickly shoved the used tissue back into her pocket and dusted her hand a bit before shaking his hand back. Despite it all, her grip was decently firm, one that most women didn't have; she didn't believe in any wet-noodle handshakes.
Walking beside Sorano as they went down the hall, she laughed rather bitterly and looked at the ground. "No, I was just a moron. I stuck my neck out for someone I thought I was in love with and had it all thrown back in my face and he yelled at me on top of it all. The clothes were just stupidity on my part; I thought I could get him to agree to something without actually realizing it. It's a long, messy story."
She paused and gave a long, heavy sigh. "And now there's going to be rumors going around about all of this, I'm sure of it."

Sorano nodded his head, humming a small "hmm" every so little while.
"That is quite-a somethin'." he replied after she finished with a nod of his head. "Love can be trickay, yes? Hell, playin' in the game o' love is nothing but callin' an' bettin'. I know the part o' that, I'm tellin' ya."
Sorano shook his head, remembering dear ol' Anna back in Kanto. Oh, how he used to cry himself to sleep at night. But that was all in the past, yes? And the past was just meant to be forgotten.
"Peeps who spread rumors are nothin' but idiots." he continued. "If anyun' says anythin', I'll beat them up fer ya, promise!"
He flexed a muscle, in hopes of making her laugh. Heck, he wanted to make himself laugh for remembering something unwanted.

"The worse part is that he was the first guy that ever, you know, looked at me like that and showed an interest in me. God I should have just listened to Faleen. I knew she didn't like him." Kofuku pulled out that tissue again and blew into it again.
Looking to Sorano as he threatened to beat up anyone who spread rumors, Kofuku couldn't help but smile a little. The guy was funny. "Thanks, I'll be sure to give them painful treatment in the infirmary as well."

Sorano hummed out another "hmm", loosing himself in thought. "He's a jerk, anehway." he reasoned to her. "Jus' think-a him like that. So wheneva he pops inta ya 'ead, ya know that ta be tha truth."
"Oh." Sorano smiled next. "Yer in tha med depo? I's in no department but that be interestin' ta know. Are ya busy in there er is it pretty, y'know, mundane?"

Kofuku looked to the ground for a moment, thinking about what Sorano had just said about Panther; if even this guy thought that he was a jerk, then maybe it really was true. She took a deep breath, thankful to have run into the guy... even if her clothing had been beyond embarrassing.
"Yeah, it's actually really fun in there, but it's a lot of studying for me. I've never actually worked in that field before so I have a lot to learn about it." She gave a shrug of her shoulders. "It's like a light switch; when it's slow it's SLOW, and when it's busy, it's crazy busy." She looked to her companion curiously. "Do you have a department you're thinking about?"

"Hmmph, don't seem like somethin' I'll git inta than. I ain't too good with med stuff." He paused to think for a minute and snapped his finger. "Anehthing with arms, heh. Always had an interest in tha boom sticks."
He gestured his left hand into a vertical gun and blew the top as if it was a smoking firearm.
"I would love ta shoot though I dun' own a gun. Seems like somethin' more suited fer a higha-up, 'onestly."

"I actually didn't think about getting into it until I got in trouble and had to play janitor in there for a week. Ended up liking it in there and the head Doc surprised me when I told her that and asked if I wanted to work there. It's nice though, having a place to belong...." Her voice drifted off a bit as she watched him turn his hand into a gun, then she grinned a little.
"You and I will get along great then! I love to paint ball, and some of the guns they make for them are just awesome. I do a bit of airsoft too, since their amo is reusable for the most part; it's less expensive." She, for the moment, seemed to have bounced back a little from her depression.

"Paint-a ball?" Sorano eyes light up like a Christmas evergreen. "I used ta play that witha my bud back in Kanto. When we are free, you game fer a round?"
Sorano wasn't all too good at the game and usually got his rumpus kicked by being pelted with paint balls, but that didn't stop his love for the game. He rubbed his hands together at the thought of a game. It sure would be fun, especially if he were to get Vamoose to play a bit.

"That sounds like it'd be a blast! We could cause some real trouble by going into town and hiding in the parks and shooting random people too!" She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"So.... maybe if you're not doing anything now, we could have a game. If anything, it'll get my mind off of everything." Not to mention if they made a mess in the halls, Panther would be stuck cleaning it up; that could be a plus.

"Heck, I be game anehtime!" he laughed. "Though I dun' want ta get this shirt dirtay . . . be me favorite an all . . . How's 'bout I meetcha in tha trainin' area in say, ten min? We could duke it out fer a bit. Jus' warnin' ya now, I ain't gonna take it easy!
He says that now but there is a likely high chance he will get his a** kicked. Watch, watch and see dearest readers.

Kofuku frowned a little when the mention of the training area was brought up. "I..." she sighed and shook her head. "I really don't want to be down there right now. That's were Panther's playing clean up and where all that s**t hit the fan."
Running a hand through her bangs to push them back a little, she gave Sorano a very small smile. "Sorry... do you have any other ideas?"

"O-Oh crap, I be sorry."
Sorano mimicked her gesture, sliding his fingers through his frothy teal hair. "Err, we can always go witha tha idea ya had a'fore. Y'know, botherin' tha common folk-a?"
He smiled than. Seemed like fun.
