Haha, this time Evron's asking so many questions he sounds like a little kid to me. xD Books? Start with books. XD I don't even know if they can read come to think of it. And most of those guys don't even know girls anymore (Joy doesn't know any!). I bet you could find all the little "ninjas" sneaking up to watch from the trees, like this: OvO Would he even know what a kiss is? Sheesh. Lamest god ever! /smited by mountain xAx;;;
"Thank you Caileen. Any pokémon you find would be a great help. Even if they no longer wish to live here, it would be better to know."He could not keep all of the sadness out of his voice as he slowly opened the box, trying not to think about the time since the eruption.
He set the lid aside and looked up at her."I am glad I didn't cause you any further harm trying to lead you. I can't imagine not being able to use my eyes to see."But that was one of the things he admired so much about her, that ability to use her other senses.
"I actually like the distraction,"he admitted."It's nice to not have to worry about the same things for a change. We always have good times, don't we? Even if you were injured this time..."He smiled a little and looked down at the box again, wondering if he should take her back to the village. Maybe they could send her home on a boat, instead of through the woods. An escort, perhaps? It might be a good excuse to find out where she lived.
He lifted from the box each item as he found it, and as a courtesy to her, he described what they were."A vest?"he asked, then removed his worn-out scarf and tried the new vest on with a little bit of effort. He was not used to wearing clothing."It fits."He was a bit surprised."How did you know what size to get?"
Also inside the box was a new scarf. He was not sure what to do with two scarves, but for now, of course, he would wear the new one. He hopped up on her knee, holding the box and facing her."I like the new scarf, it's better than the old one."Then he placed one of the cookies against her hand before nibbling on another one."Did you make these? Thank you, Caileen, I like all of these gifts."

I think it is so cute how he sounds right now. Though I have a feeling be might be a serious and strong child. XD Well Caileen can not read but I am sure that Zeki will take pity on them and go to Joy one day with some books and give him a reason to learn to read. "If you can read these it might help smooth things over with Caileen." give him some incentive. XD Oh my god that would be funny. Though I do know one 'ninja' that at that time might not be peeping. And I will feel so sorry for Evron if he really does end up liking Caileen and he sees her being loving with his boss. But to be fair even gods have to start somewhere.Though he will know one fir at least. Though I guess she will be more like a guy. Cause my little Shedinja is going to be a part of the gang if that is alright.
Caileen gave a nod and wished she could comfort her friend when she heard how sad his voice was. If she had been able to see she would have grabbed him and held him close to her. But all she could offer right now with out it being a bit awkward was words, "I shall do my best to find any of your friends in the city. I promise I will look hard for them. And even in the woods near it."
She gave a sad smile, "It was very hard at first and I think I would be so lost without the others. If it were not for them I don't know if I would still be doing as well as I am. Though I do miss seeing things a great deal. But you do grow accustom to it."
She laughed softly and smiled at him, "Yes I have always found it to be a good time when I am with you Evron. It was my fault for not being careful and you were right there for me like a good friend. So it is still a very good time." She said again not being able to see she could not tell he was looking at the package or see that he was thinking of something. "I am sure after a rest I will be just fine getting home though so no harm done."
She could not help but flush a bit as he started to go threw the box. She felt suddenly more shy that she tended to be. "I know it might feel odd at first...but I know it is getting cold now and I wanted to make sure you were warm enough since you are always outside on patrol." She looked down towards where she assumed the box was. "I asked the person at the store what size would fit a normal Froakie and she said that it should fit. I do hope it is not too tight..."
She smiled as she felt his weight on her knee and gently reached out a hand to rest it against his arm, "I am sorry I did not know you already had a scarf. I am glad you like it though. She slid her had up his arm to feel the vest and around his back to give him a hug careful of the box she felt between them. "I know it isn't much."
She sat back after the hug and gave a nod, "Yes Ura and I made them. They should give you and the others some extra energy." She looked down and picked up the cookie he placed near her hand. "Thank you for sharing one with me too. I am very glad you like them. If you want next time I can bring some more scarves for the others too. If you are all sharing them." She offered wanting so much to help him. He was always so kind to her she wished she could be more of a help to him.

Ugh, so sorry for the wait. D: <3 Yeah, he'll be strong and serious. Now he has The Gear to go out on his own. Hopefully he won't take things into his own hands xD Hehe, I had this crazy idea of Havard the Mewtwo come upon all these illiterate kids serving the volcano god and be so disgusted that he ends up teaching them to read. XD I bet he'd teach Caileen too. x3 Oh yes! Definitely include the shedinja. Best if she was there from before or know about it at least, if you want, but not necessary. :3
It was comforting to know that there would be people keeping an eye out from both sides of the lake. There was only so much his ragtag group of friends could do. It was daunting and exhausting, but this little bit of hope gave him strength.
He had to wonder just how she had gotten used to living without her sight. Surely it would have been easier if she had never had sight, but then she would never have known what it was like. No doubt through trial and error had she gotten this good. After all, she was quite far from home. And it never ceased to amaze him that she made it back home every time, a fact that made his idea about providing her an escort back home just a bit farfetched. Her words also confirmed that the notion was out.
"Right."She got help at the store? Of course; that made sense. And if she had not gotten help from the salesclerk, then perhaps her fellow exeggcutes would have provided some insight."No, it fits perfectly."It felt a bit awkward for now, but it was loose in the right places to allow him movement through the woods with little hindrance."I'm actually glad for the scarf and vest for another reason: no one will complain about my bubbles after I use them,"he muttered against her chest with a little chuckle as she hugged him. He shifted the box out of the way and tried to reciprocate her gesture.
He sat back on the log and nibbled at the cookie. He taste how well they would come in handy, especially when pokémon came in from patrol. With this in mind he closed up the box again and set it aside, just as a gust of wind brought a flurry of snowflakes blustering down from the treetops. With a frown, he looked up as more came fluttering gently down. It was generally light, but the clouds were gathering."It's begun to snow."

No worries bout the wait. I hope your life is more interesting in a good way than gaia. I mean seriously all of Gaia is like dead now. Even I am bored with visiting it half the time. XD Well lets hope he does not take too many risks though I am sure Caileen, if she was around would not mind nursing his wounds for him <3 Awww that would be so cute having Havard take pity on them and teach them <3 Yes indeed I was thinking she was there from the start for sure.
Had she known that Evron was worried about how getting her home and willing to escort her she would have taken the offer right away. She would love to be able to spend more time with him. Maybe she could even have him stay the night and be 'pampered' for at least one night. The new living arrangements at home were starting to wear on the teen. Because she had growth into a teen the others thought that they should start giving her more independence so they build small rooms around their apartment and no longer shared a bed with her she did not like feeling so alone when they used to always sleep in the same bed or it some kind of pile. She had no idea why her smaller selves were starting to push her away. Though maybe it was just in her mind because they were more like four pint sized grown up and she still was the most child like one of them.
"I am glad to hear it fits." she covered her mouth a bit trying not to laugh as she hugged him, "They complain about your bubbles? How mean of them. Who could hate bubbles?" she smiled brightly though as he tried to reciprocate the hug. She really missed feeling close to someone. She had almost leaned down to kiss the top of his head but stopped herself. Ajax had lectured her too many times about kissing smaller things she hugged.
She sat back as well as he moved back on the log, she clasped her hands on her lap not having anything to hold any more and not sure what else to do with them. She shivered at the sudden gust and her face grew a bit confused as she felt moisture hit her face until he spoke. "Snow? I do miss seeing the snow...but if it is snowing..I guess that means I should start heading back huh?" She frowned a bit having hoped to spend more time with her friend.
Putting her hands down on the log she lifted herself into a standing position and tried putting weight on her ankle to see if it would hold. She winced a bit and turned to look at the Froakie. "Maybe we can find a large stick or a branch I can use to held me take a bit of the weight off?"

Yeah, it's been pretty dead, hasn't it? xD I play Flight Rising, do homework or housework, sometimes visit the relatives; nothing spectacular. B'aww, well I'm sure he wouldn't complain too loudly if she wanted to. x) Yeah, snotty shorty that he is, having him take pity might seem like another god has descended. ("What? I'm a high-tech hermit. Leave me alone!") Awesome. If you need to know anything I've forgotten to mention about it, let me know. I am sure I've forgotten some things. Man if Caileen had kissed Evron while they were hugging he'd have been quite flustered! (but trying to hide it of course) xD
Evron craned his neck up to watch Caileen, wondering if she had felt any bubbles in the midst of their embrace. Her hands were clasped in her lap, but he reached over to gently move her hand so that she could feel them. There, around his neck, especially at his back, they formed a bit of a fluffy "hood" for his new vest. She would find that they would hold firmly under her touch, but when too much pressure was applied, burst with little suction-cup-like popping noises.
The gust of wind caused the girl to shiver noticeably. Her clothes may have seemed appropriate when she set out to visit today, but no longer with this wintery turn in the weather."Caileen, would you consider wearing my new scarf? It seems so warm and I wouldn't want you to catch a chill. For now I'll wear the old one."He picked up the new scarf and pushed it into her hands."I would feel better if I knew you were warm."
He looked up to the sky once more; simultaneously, he picked up the old scarf and wrapped it around his neck, then pushed the ends inside his new vest. It was very difficult to tell what the weather would do, but he didn't want to take any chances. He looked at her again and nodded, making a small additional decision for himself."I will find you a walking stick. I will be back soon, please wait for me."Then he found a nice tall tree and quickly climbed up to its highest branches. For a small pokémon like himself, it was easy enough to do, but the higher he climbed, the fiercer the wind became. The treetops swayed as gusts whipped past him, the snow feeling more like razors than delicate flakes. While he looked around, he could see the clouds building thickly at the base of the mountain for miles in both directions. Their potential was not lost on him.
Back on the ground, he waited a moment or two while his body regulated with the warmer, more humid air inside the forest. The trees really did shield the ground from the worst weather. Once recovered, he stretched all of his muscles to make sure they were limber enough before disappearing into the forest on a quest to find a suitable walking stick for Caileen's use. He wondered if she would be happy to know that it would be best for her to come back to the village with him.

Yes it is pretty dead it seems it in all different threads. But it is good that you have been busy. I hope that for the most of it you were having fun. Oh well I am sure he would not complain but I hope he will not get annoyed with her if she does it too often. That would be so funny though I do wonder how many would go and chase after Harvard. Thank you I would look forward to having her part of the group and I will be sure to look at the other members to get more information on the group. Well there is plenty of time to get a kiss in.
Caileen flushed a bit and turned to look at her friend as he took up her hand she did not know fully what he was about to do with her hand until she felt him ease it on the bubbles around his neck. She allowed her fingers to softly feather over the bubbles she didn’t want to pop any of them. But as she pressed on one she gasped as she felt it pop. Her face filled with worry, “I am so very sorry. I..I didn’t hurt you did I?” The thought of causing him pain broke her heart. She would hate to hurt him. She pulled her hand away from him quickly and brought it to her lap so worried now. Though she did wish she could see his bubbles, the other ones had not gotten too good a look of him so she did not really know what a Froakie looked like. She was sure his bubbles were adorable.
She bit her lip as she felt the new scarf she had given him laid across her hands. She was worried about him catching cold too and his body was weaker to the cold. She heard him pull on the old one leaving her very little room to argue. She gave a nod and wrapped the thick new sweater around her one neck.
She lowered her head a bit so that the scarf would cover her mouth and nose to let her breath the warmer air then what the cooling winds were offering. “I will always wait for you Evron. I am sorry to cause you trouble please just be careful.” she said and tried not to appear worried. She knew he could handle himself but she hated to be such a burden to him. Left alone though she wondered if maybe she should not have come by herself if she had brought one of her eyes she could have been more helpful. She would not be hurt right now and having to trouble the Froakie. She wondered if she would be able to make it too the bus in time for it to take her back before the snow got too bad. Though surly it would just be a light dusting right? She looked up towards the sky as if she could see what it looked like and sighed remembering she could not see it.
She was brought from her remorse with another gust of flurries and chill. She shifted a bit tilting her head from left to right to try and hear where Evron might be but she heard nothing. Even the wind seemed so quiet. Snow differently had it’s own strange version of absolute silence. And Caileen felt her heart quicker hearing just the beginning of that silence approaching her. This might not be just a dusting after all. She pulled her coat tighter around herself and cursed under her breath, “Why was I so stupid to fall?” She was a bit too far to seek the link with the others and felt a bit guilty, after all she was already worrying Evron, she hoped she would not cause her smaller counterparts worry with being out in the coming storm.

Yeah, I would say it's fun. Even the school work. It's all classes for a minor I'm interested in so I'm learning stuff I want to know. Hopefully things are going well for you. Last I heard work was kicking your butt so I've been a bit worried that you might burn out. Nah, he has no place to complain since if she's patching him up too frequently, it's because he was doing dangerous stuff too frequently. xD I can almost guarantee the squirtle twins would, just to pester him! XD Awesome! I think I should make a list from Jocosus' page of the villagers for reference. Maybe call them Matsutta's Merry Minions. XD Yay! Let's make them both confused. By the time Evron returns he's going to be a rubbery popcicle. I'm sure she'd want to warm him up. xP
"No, it doesn't hurt."The warm smile that spread across his face was audible in his voice. Then it became pensive as he thought of an analogy to explain it."It's like... bubbles on water, made by the water but not part of the water. When these bubbles pop, I can make more. They actually shield me and can keep me warmer too because they trap air inside of them. And so they will be a nice extra liner for the vest you gave me."
Later while he searched for a suitable walking stick for her, first picking up one that was strong enough yet too small, then later another that was too soft from dryrot, he thought about the last words Caileen had spoken to him. The only troubling thing about this situation, other than the weather, was her insistent belief that she was a burden. Did not friends, family, and community members help the other all the time? Perhaps she was not used to it. Or perhaps she did not feel like she should be included in one of those groups. Surely she believed they should be considered friends? Who else but a friend would come all this way just to visit? Well? They were indeed troubling thoughts. He tried not to dwell on them, however. He was a firm believer in action to fill in the blanks. Whatever could not be expressed in words should be demonstrated and proven with action.
With this thought, he tested out another stick, swinging it against a tree trunk with an echoing thunk! Then he held it upright, picturing Caileen in his mind. Would this stand tall enough for her? He believed so.
Nodding to himself, resolved in mind and in his quest, he headed back toward his friend where she sat in the clearing. She seemed upset about something, or perhaps just cold. If the weather got much worse, he would have to find better shelter, perhaps in a cave, and build a fire for her."I'm back,"he called out to her from the edge of the clearing."See if this stick works for you. It seems strong enough at least."When he reached the log, he pressed the stick lightly across her legs."Are you all right? You seem troubled."

Well work is still being a major pain in the a** but I will live. And life is not too bad it has some good moments and some annoying ones XD Well poor guy better not get hurt too much though I am sure she will always be waiting to give him a through rub down to make sure he is not hurt and to help him if he is. Oh they so would. Those two are going to be huge pains I am sure. Though it won't work with the Sheinja she is a bit...off mentally. Oh cute little name XD Yes maybe there should be a page for a list like a sticky thread like Catch Em All or I Choose You? Oh I am sure she will do something to try and warm him up. wink
She was so grateful to hear that she had not hurt him when she popped a bubble though that fact made her want to pop more. She kept her hands to herself, "Oh that is fascinating that they can keep you warm that way. I am glad to hear it." she smiled and waited.
She wondered as things got colder if maybe she should get into the log she had been sitting. Though she did muse that if it got too much colder it would be too cold for snow to fall. She really should have brought something warm for them to drink. She had be letting her mind wander when se heard a wack from branch on tree contact. She had jumped when she heard it and looked in the direction it had come. She wondered if maybe Evron had gotten hurt with that sound. Maybe he had been trying to get a fresh branch and it broke on him. She shook his head, "no he is a tough guy he knows these woods he would not get hurt...like that and you would have heard a falling sound." she sat back down and waited trying not to worry about him seeing her as a pain instead of someone he wanted to spend time with. She also tried to avoid thinking of him as a little noble prince or samurai do what he could to protect the fair maiden. She laughed at that and had to agree with what Ajax had said long ago. She was no maiden she was more like the naive annoying little sister. A side kick at best.
She rubbed her arms lightly and then held out her hands to try and gather a flurry or two just to focus her mind else where though it did not seem to work well she was already too far involved with more negative thoughts that even snow flakes something she had loved when she was still just a pokemon and a child were not helping.
When he called she looked up her face lighting up with a relieved smile at the even tone of his words. "Welcome back Evron!" she said her hand moving to cover her mouth at just how excited she had sounded at his return. She gave a small nod, "Oh yes of course...thank you Evron." She waited until she felt the stick over her legs. She reached out and felt of it before standing up slowly and giving the stick a try. It was just a small bit to long but it gave her more support to lean on. She was a bit in awe about how he had been able to carry such a large stick back to her. "I think it will work thank you Evron." She said holding out a hand for him.

Hopefully the pay is good and you like some of what you do, at least? Lol, isn't that life? You try to weigh the good and bad and I guess it evens out. :3
Hm, well we can look at it as if Caileen will start to worry and get sick over it. I hope that wouldn't happen to her. And on another hand, I bet all the boys would whine about little pains so she will look over them too. I can see my squirtle doing that, not because he "likes" her but because he wants the attention! XD
Oh that's good though. The strange way her mind works would surely be lots of fun. xD
Bring it on, Caileen! xD And yeah, that walking stick was probably too big for a pokemon his size. Shh. Um, maybe it's thin and rubbery. Yeah. Not heavy. XD
She sounded quite happy that he was back. Understandable, since it was cold and lonely waiting for someone out here. Suddenly he felt a pang of guilt just leaving her like that, even though he had had little other choice.
He watched her as she tried out the stick, which seemed just a bit too long. In actuality, that could be a good thing if she needed to reach with it. That was a relief. He wasn't keen on the idea of making her wait for another one at this point. He also kept an eye out for shivering or stiff movements. Would she need the dirty old scarf he was wearing, in addition to the new one? He hadn't wanted to loan her the dirty one, but if she was too cold, that was different.
"How are you doing? Are you too cold?"If she was, in fact, too cold, the wind out in the open would stop her in her tracks very quickly. They would probably want to stay under the trees anyway. It would take them much longer, but it would be safer, whichever direction they went."I would take you back the way you came, but I am not sure the weather will allow it. I think that from this clearing, the village is closer. Would you like to come back to the village with me?"

Sadly my job pays minimum wage. But it is not bad for the most part. I am just glad to have a job finally. So it is not too bad. Yup such is life one must take the goods with the bads.
Well I am sure she could worry herself sick some day. But then they boys can take care of her XD. I can so see the twins doing that if nothing more than to get attention or to get under Evron or Joy's skin. XD
It will be funny. They will be trying to mess with her and she will just go along with it and not even know that she was suppose to feel embarrassed or upset.
He is just a bit strong boy. XD
She did not know that he was feeling guilty for leaving her. She was just grateful to have him back and he had brought her a stick. She could, though feel his eyes on her. She turned to where she heard his voice and smiled at him. "It is getting cold that is true. It might be best to try and find some place warm." she said and sat back down her hand moving along the log to gather up the box she had brought for him.
She looked at the box, "Are you feeling cold Evron? You have been running around." she said gently." she stopped and looked at him her face growing just a bit worried, "You don't think we can make it back to the road before the storm hits? Is it looking that bad?"
At his offer to go back to the village with him she could not help but feel her cheeks darken just a bit. She could just hear in her mind Ura praising her from getting invited home to a male's house. Like it would be some kind of a date. She shook her head for a moment to clear it then smiles, "If you think it is closer we could do that warm up and maybe ride out the storm it there will be one. Are you sure no one would mind me coming home with you?" She asked unzipping her jacket to place the box inside of it then she looked a bit thoughtful.
Standing with the help of stick she made her way over to him where she got down on her knees to be at his level. She reached out her hand to find where he was her jacket still undone and open. When her hand found him, she gasped at how cold he was, "Oh Evron you really are cold! I am sorry." she said and carefully moved her hand around him. She set the stick down and with her other hand she picked up Evron. She brought him against her torso and wrapped her jacket and arms around him. "Let's warm you up first then we can go to the village."

Well, classes are now over. All I have left is the internship. I'm feeling kinda lost, even though I'm trading classes for a fulltime job, in essence. It starts on the 23rd, so we'll see how I hold up. xD I have the Merry Minions now listed on Joy's journal page. If I've forgotten anyone, let me know! There are a couple of 'unconfirmed' that I think will join, but haven't yet in-story? If yours are in the wrong list, let me know that too. :3 And there she goes! Give him a big, warm hug, Caileen. xD
Warmth was definitely what Caileen needed right now. To an extent, cold weather did not bother him because he was used to it. But a cold-blooded creature naturally cannot last after a certain point. They will either perish, or fall into a suspended animation state. Though that possibility might hover somewhere in the back of his mind, he did now have the bubble-lined vest and scarf to prolong his time out here. Their best bet would be to find a cave, which would unfortunately force them to travel the empty swath of land between the treeline and the mountainside. Would they be able to make it?
Caileen's voice pulled him from his worried reverie and he focused on her words."The clouds are building at the base of the mountain. There will definitely be more snow, though I cannot say if the winds will get much worse or not. I want you safe before we find out which it will be."Fierce winds would keep snow from accumulating, but it would bite into their bodies mercilessly. The opposite might be true with no wind: drifts of snow, but the air might be much warmer. Perhaps it was time to tell her exactly what their options were.
But before that, Caileen so easily scooped him up and pressed him to her chest. Her jacket was open but very warm. A handful of bubbles made tiny little popping noises as they were pressed and burst wetly against her skin."Caileen!"He struggled a little but did not want to harm her and quickly ceased. He was not used to being treated with such care. And quite frankly, if he had been warm-blooded, he would have flushed a distinct purple color."You... you don't have to do this."Finally, he began to warm up. Joints and muscles he had felt slowly stiffen from the cold had begun to loosen and limber up again. His mind and heart calmed as he got used to her closeness, heat and scent, and he relaxed against her.
Presently, his thoughts focused again at the issues at hand: their options. Even her heat would not last. His job was to keep her safe."The trees go on like this for a while. There will be little snow in here, but it would be cold and the ground is uneven. A cave would be safer, but we would have to travel through open air to reach one. Or..."he sighed,"this clearing is sheltered. I could build a small fire here for you and I could go for help. They would bring the supplies we need, but I would have to leave you here again. I don't want to leave you alone again."He looked up at her, then reached up and touched her cheek with his suction-cup fingers."So... what do you think we should do?"Whatever the answer, the burden would be hers to endure, so it was hers to choose. And he hated it.

I am glad that your classes are over. I hope the internship goes well. I am sure you will get the hang of it real quick. I hope you can hold up to it. Oh you have them listed? I will for sure go and check it out and let you know. I am sure you will have it all right. Yup I just looked and it looks good. And i like how you put just Caileen and not as C.A.I.Z.U. lol Dagrun will join after an rp with Mooger. Get him nice and toasty Caileen. XD
She had not expected him to struggle like she had but she held onto him lightly not wanting to risk hurting him but it seemed that soon enough he relaxed and seemed to get used to it. It was nice to have the cooler body pressed against her. He did not hug her back but he was larger than any of her other parts so in a way it was already like getting a hug. The popping of his bubbles felt good and tickled her skin as they bursted against her. She tried to focus on him and not the cold building around them. “So it is just going to get worse…I..if we are going to figure something out then we both need to be a bit warmer. And you know the area…it is best for you to be warmer.”
She listened to his options still holding him a bit now letting him move back from her a bit but she close the jacket around behind him loosely. She would keep him warm wail they thought about what they needed to do. She did not want to be alone but she knew that the best bet for both of them and especially one of them was for him to leave her and go get help. She hated the thought of him being out alone running as fast as he could to try and get help. But she would hate it even more for him to keep trying to guid her and getting hurt or both of them collapsing frozen. She would try to protect him with her heat as best she could but…she was sure that it could not last threw the full storm. And even if they got to a cave he would surly try to go out and get them something to keep warm with.
She tensed a bit as she felt the cool almost sticky feeling of his fingers on her check. She had not expected to feel the soft touch. She leaned her head softly into his small hand and reached a hand up to cup the back of his. He was so very sweet and carring. She gave a small smile. She knew she did not want to be a bigger problem for him. She had to do what would most likely keep him safe. Surely if he made it back to the others they would not let him back out into the storm and he could be safe. “I don’t want you to leave me either…but it would be faster if you did not have to worry about me stumbling behind trying to get to the cave.” She lowered her head to gently rest her forehead against his just before his eyes. “I will wait here and stay near the fire…I know you will be faster without me and you will come back as soon as you can.” she said softly and turned her head just a bit to give him a gentle kiss just above the nose. “Are you warm enough to head out? I can start a fire wail you are away.”

Me too... I have tried to reason out why I should pursue more school (master's) but I think at this time it's not going to happen. So charge on along this path, I say! So far this week has seemed long, short, productive, and frustrating. Sounds like a good combination, eh? xDD Good, I'm glad I got it right. ^^ Yes, saying Caileen seemed more appropriate though if/when the rest come, I can add them in too. Okay! I'll move him in there soon. *cackle* if he weren't coldblooded they might be more comfortable. Maybe uncomfortable in other ways. xD
It was no secret that Evron felt some affection for Caileen and was teased to the point of exaggeration about it. He naturally looked out for others, not just Caileen. The extra consideration he gave to the exeggcute girl and her current condition, he told himself, he would have extended to anyone in his care.
He had not considered very carefully how difficult the options he had offered would be for Caileen to choose. He had no expectation that she worried as much about him as he did for her. When Caileen loosened her grip on him and rearranged her jacket, Evron squirmed a little in confusion. When he realized that she was enclosing him within her jacket, what could he do except snuggle up closer? Physically, he was stuck, but her actions also forced him to reevaluate their situation as much as she was doing. She was, without a doubt, demonstrating that their worries were equal.
She had come to several conclusions that he, eventually at least, agreed with. The weather would only get worse; to this Evron nodded slowly. It was indeed a grave situation. They both needed to warm up, even if he had literally struggled against the notion at first. Now he was leaning against her, feeling far warmer than he had since venturing out earlier today.
Another notion he wrestled with at first was her suggestion that she be the one to build the fire. He was concerned about the uneven terrain and did not want to think about what might happen if she lost her way looking for kindling. But the act of gathering wood and starting a fire would help to warm her up, so he could not deny her the opportunity.
Soft, cool hair brushed against his face and Evron tilted his head back to look up at her. He closed his eyes as she rested her forehead against the cool skin of his rather flat face. Even before she kissed his nose, he realized that his affections for her were real and reciprocated, at least to an extent. It made his desires to go for help and simply to stay war with each other."What if we both make the fire together?"

Well sadly I am attending school for 9months starting in July. I need to get out of this crappy job into something that will pay more and with going back they have job placement help so with luck it should all work out. *crosses fingers* it is not something I ever thought of doing but hey if it work out then all the better. Well I am sure there is still time for uncomfortable feelings in so many ways. They are defiantly going to be very very close. And have a deep love I think. I feel anyone who tries to date Evron or Caileen with out the other's approval. XP
His silence was not something that bothered Caileen. She knew that Evron was also thinking about their dire situation, most likely even more than she was. He was one of the most thoughtful and noble pokemon she had ever met. Surly in a past life he had been a knight even if now he ran with a less reputable crowd.
As he squirmed a bit she worried that maybe she was making him feel trapped but then as he settle she found his weight against her more than a bit comforting. Just feeling his cooler body so close to her brought more comfort than she could have explained. He felt like the missing sixth member of an Exeggcute group. She wondered if she could some how let him in on the mental link...if for no other reason then to allow them to communicate wail he went about getting help so that he could feel a bit calmer about her and she could keep reassuring him, as well as not feeling so alone herself.
She gave a slow deep breath as she rested her head against his. She did care for him so very much. And she knew all of her other counter parts felt a similar fondness for him even if not in the same way as she did. As she sat with him like this she for a moment or two forgot about the situation they were in and the real danger they were face. She was just glad to have a someone like him in her life.
When he spoke she lifted her head up and thought for a moment. It would be quicker for them to make a fire if they worked together and it would warm him up far faster than him being within her jacket or against her body. But it would lesson the time for him to get to help. She knew he would worry so much if she did not agree and she gave a slow nod, "That could work. We can do it quickly and both warm up a bit more before you head out." she said softly and looked down at him though she could not see him, "If you're warmer now I will undo the jacket and we can start getting the wood."

Yeah unfortunately college or vocational school are about the only ways to get higher than entry anymore, so it seems. I hope you can do this without going into debt like I did. Well you only live once. Once I'm dead my debt's gone. *knock on wood* But I also hope it's something you enjoy for what it is. There's a lot I can't stand about school but I like what I've learned. *cackle* Hurry and get there Joy or Evron's going to end up proposing. XD Yeah they're already so close it's going to be hard on anyone that tries to get closer. I missed the part where she kissed him so I added that bit in. I meant to mention it. But if he kissed her that would be bad. So he didn't. xD; <3
He nodded. Even though she had warmed up now, he would be cold again by the time they were finished."I could warm up by the fire before I go,"he agreed. His body was hesitant to leave but he knew what they needed to do. It would be best for both of them if they started now."I'm ready."
He was still worried that she might get hurt. Coming out all this way on her own, she had been injured. But the fact that she had made it so far made her capability undeniable. She would be able to gather firewood with him with less trouble than he would worry over her safety about. Perhaps if he could watch her navigate this clearing his mind would be more at ease. "We can look for moss and sticks to begin with. And there was a walking stick that I rejected but it might be useful still if it's not too wet in the middle,"he offered.
