 ZoriThe little Eevee's ear twitched slightly, taking note of the Growlithe's corresponding ear... Or lack thereof. He was a bright blue; almost aqua. She realized with a blink that he was examining her as well. Well gee, that was awkward. She glanced down at the sapphire pendant that rested on her chest, glowing and shimmering. She could still hear voices echoing faintly inside her mind through the gem. It was giving her a headache. She wasn't used to it. "It was a gift from a friend. Sort of a promise that he'd be there for me if I needed him." She decided to give him the shorter version of the story, not really feeling like explaining the true power of the gem.

ZoriGuilt tore through her. He thought she was nervous of his scars! She shook her head vigorously. "No, no! It's not that...." She padded a little closer. "My pendant has a sort of... connection to a select few others. I'm beginning to hear the voices of other people wearing it. I know that sounds like I'm doing some sort of drug, but it's true. I'm just... not used to it. It just hurts a little." She explained, trying to console the Growlithe. She was glad to have some company. She didn't want him to just leave because she was being a big baby over a little headache.

~Roland~ Roland actually knew what she was talking about. He was embarrassed to have thought she was nervous about his scars.
"I've experienced something like that with my partner, Morpheus. Once in a while, I'll hear what sounds like his voice in my head, and it's almost like some has taken a small hammer to my skull. Is that an accurate description of the sensation?" Roland felt bad. The Eevee was probably in pain...

ZoriZori blinked. That was exactly it. "Is your partner a Psychic-type?" She asked quietly. A particularly loud voice battered her brain and she cringed. Loud. Pain. BAD. "Stop it..." She muttered to the crystal around her neck. This was beginning to hurt.

~Roland~ Roland felt bad for the Eevee. He could see she was in pain, and this hurt him as well; He hated seeing others in pain.
"Are you alright? that looked like a bad spell right there..." Roland asked, worry in his voice. He got closer to her, warming himself from the inside. Warmth tended to calm most of the pokemon he knew, and he was quite a good supply of it."I know it hurts...I'm sorry..." He said, sad to see someone hurting.

ZoriZori flattened her ears, mentally pushing the voices away, creating a barrier between her mind and the other wearers of the pendants. "No kidding..." Her voice was a little raspy as she leaned slightly against the Fire-type's warm side. "Thanks, Roland." She glanced gratefully at him. The warmth felt nice against her aching skull.

~Roland~ Roland relaxed, focusing on keeping warm. He was glad to be helping the poor girl. She seemed in need of someone to comfort her. "Anytime, Zori...Just try and relax, it helps."
He really couldn't say if it helped or not, but he assumed it did, as she looked a bit less pained than before. He was just concerned for her well-being.

ZoriAfter a few moments, the aching inside Zori's head faded away to a dull throbbing somewhere in the back of her mind. She sat up, wagging her tail slightly in thanks. "I think I'm okay now. Sorry if I had you worried for a while." The Eevee barked quietly.

~Roland~ Roland was glad to see she was alright.
"Hey, I'm just glad you're ok. If there's ever anything you need, I'm here for you." He said, trying to sound sincere. He was, but he always found it was hard to sound that way. He would have pondered on that, but he was busy chatting with Zori.
"So...the voices have calmed down? No more hammer to the skull?"

Zori"I don't know... I think I closed my mind off from it somehow..." Zori replied quietly, flicking her ears back. She glanced down to stared at the sapphire that hung, glimmering, around her neck. Her bright, golden eyes fixed on the Growlithe. "...You fought in the battle this morning, didn't you?" She asked him quietly, reaching up with a charcoal paw to wipe the dirt away from the Growlithe's bleeding... lack of an ear.

~Roland~ Roland winced. He hadn't realized the wound had started bleeding again until Zori mentioned it. "Uhm, yeah...I was...I was out of commission pretty fast...Just a useless heap, really.."
He was still angry at himself for being so useless. He'd been taken out of commission so fast, he just couldn't believe it. It was just...embarrassing. He hated that he had been so helpless. He had just wanted to help, he wanted to fight. He had thought that, maybe, just maybe, he could have fought that...thing. But no, he was too weak. And he was ashamed of it.

ZoriZori winced at the Growlithe's self-loathing tone. She'd made him feel bad. She'd have to fix that... "If it makes you feel any better, half of fighting is luck. heard that the head of guild security's son was killed in that fight. One of the agents lost a limb. They weren't exactly weak, Roland. It's all luck." She told him, her tone ringing with sorrow.

 James"Myaaaaaaaaah!~"
The light mewling of a kitten sounded as the door to the Courtyard opened.
The small Skitty known as James trotted onto the grass.
He let out another meow and stretched his tiny legs.
James looked around, and then froze.
"GAH! DOGS!" He squeaked when he laid eyes on Roland and Zori.

~Roland~ Roland was even more saddened by that reminder. He knew Zori was trying to cheer him up, and he put on a good face for her, but he was feeling sorrow on the inside. She was right, he knew that, but still...the whole thing was just a mess.
"Th-Thanks for trying to cheer me up, Zori. but, really, it's ok. You're right, all in the luck...Next time though...Next time..." Roland wanted nothing more than to tear out the innards of that Weavile...thing.
