Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Blim..." Deine drifted down the hall from the infirmary to the cafeteria. The poor drifblim had been distraught since returning from the raid. She'd been healed from the Breloom's attacks in minutes, but her trainer was in much worse shape. She'd been certain he was dead until he'd woken up and started talking to his partner again. What a relief that'd been. A little while later she had taken it upon herself to go and find her dear trainer some food (that always made her feel better) and thank whomever it was that'd saved him. He'd mentioned someone with pink hair, and someone with a pidgeot. His memory had been fuzzy from the trauma though. She'd figure it out, she was sure.

Replacing her expression with her usual stern one, she drifted to and through the doors to the cafeteria. It was loud! There were lots of people here...many seemed just fine. Had her partner been the only one seriously damaged? That didn't make her very happy. "Blim!" She grumped at the nearest person before floating past them towards the food. First things first, she'd gather some up for Repo. Never mind that it probably wouldn't be allowed. She floated right past Alexander as he was leaving the buffet or sorts, and gave him an odd sort of wave. He'd been on the raid, she remembered. And since she didn't know who'd saved Repo, she'd just thank them all.

Now what did humans like to eat again?

It made Saleen feel nervous that they were both being friendly. She hadn’t been so sure about Panther on the mission since he seemed more distant…even telling her off for her…embarrassing fall. But he didn’t seem so bad right now. And Demyx…well…seemed exactly the same as before! “Yes, it was.” she replied. “I don’t go out much, plus I never really got around to getting a pokemon until recently.” Which was true. She just had never really bothered before. “I don’t see being too useful on a mission without a pokemon.” she said with a shrug.

"This one was certainly one of our better ones." he looked at Saleen shocked. "Just recently? Hate to tell you this dear, but we are team Rocket, stealing pokemon is what we do. Well, ok, I gusse we do other things too, fighting giant mechas, getting blown up, going into volcanoes... but still, you want to have a pokemon you can trust with you." he lifted and spooned at his soup, not bothering to mind his manners. It was almost as if he couldn't eat it fast enough.

Alexander's worry did not lessen in the least when Frost winced from picking up a grape. In fact it made him ever more worried and his leg started to ever so slightly bounce up and down out of anxiety. He was able to smile brightly at Frost when the other man thanked him though. "Your welcome." He reached over and pushed a cup of yogurt that had a straw in it closer to Frost. At this point he didn't care how it looked. He might have to see about spiking a drink of Frost's tonight with some painkillers just she the man could sleep.

Conrad moved over and promptly laid down on Xander's bouncing leg, and stretching to lay on the other just in case, so it would stop. It wouldn't do for anyone else to see how worried his partner was.

Finishing his bowl and set it down on his tray. "Good point, good point. Umboreon is a good pokmeon. You can call me Panther, by the way." he nodded to Demyx. "So you have a litwick? I've heard of those but haven't had a chance to get one." he did love ghost type pokemon. They were elusive, and intelligent, if a bit annoying at times.

Saleen nodded in response. “Yes well, I got Ciara first. Then obtained Esther shortly after.” she said. “Ciara can be a bit…clingy but she isn’t bad. You can see her if you would like.” said Saleen as she took out Ciara’s pokeball and released her litwick. “Lit Liiiiiiiiite!” called out Ciara happily as she hugged one of Saleen’s pigtails, rubbing her face against it. If it didn’t defy all laws of physics, hearts would have been swarming around her. “This is Ciara. Like I said. Clingy. Off.” she said as she tugged her hair away from her litwick who frowned, but took the chance to turn to the two boys and smiled. “Liiiiiiite!” she said gleefully as she hovered between the two, unsure who to hug first!

Clingy was definitely a good word. It reminded him of his charmander up in his room, whom was probably waiting for him, wondering why he had yet to return. He held out a hand to the litwick, inviting a cling, most ghost types where a little more standoffish about touch in his experience.

"The Vaporeon, right?" he paused, "20 years?" he thought for a moment trying to think of a pokemon profession that didn't require fighting but could be retired. "What did you do before joining team rocket? Breeding?"
