Mel watched Tunda approach over the rim of his coffee cup. The steam fogged up his glasses, not that it bothered him. Looking over the lenses, he sipped at the coffee while watching the other carefully. "We could do that, if you want to."

................................................ Tunda tilts his head slightly again, as if thinking, then looks down at the only bit of clothing he was wearing. "T-This does need to be washed sometime... Right? Otherwise it'll smell up your house and rot off... Won't it?" He fidgets, shifting his weight from foot to foot, looking down at his feet. ................................................

"Yes, I like everyone under my roof to bathe and wash their clothes every once in a while," the dragon spoke in solemn tones but while sticking out his tongue. "If you'd awnt, you can take a shower or a bath and I can find something else for you to wear. Then we can go shopping."

Tunda responded more to the dragon's tone, not his expression, eyes flicking down to his feet in shame. "I... I'll go get cleaned up..." He mumbles, tail curling around one leg slowly.
((XD They've got a LONG way to go. *chuckle*))

(( That they do. x.x; <3
I'm going to tie this in with the other RP by bringing in Shido for just this post. Bear with me? xD <3 Of course you're welcome to do the same at any time. ))
Mel frowned slightly. He was trying to behave normally, which unfortunately for Tunda included some of his dry wit. It could take anyone a while to get used to. Perhaps Tunda did not get humor at all, but the last thing the dragon wanted to do was treat him as anything less, less than he was or less than Tunda was. It was a curious situation.
He was about to lead the pokemon back to the guest room when another familiar soul stepped into the kitchen. Should one know what he was, the mere sight of him would be confusing to say the least. Hooves clacked crisply across the kitchen floor. Another set of well-worn eyes swept across the image of Tunda. "Brought home another stray?"
A flash of a smile cast itself across the dragon's face. "Did you happen to see Asher this morning, Shido?"
"Actually, I was about to ask you the same. He was out all night and didn't say a thing to me this morning." Though the two vampires were not exactly friends, they were certainly companions the way a normal anthro and a vampire could never be. Asher did not trust just anyone with his safety during the day.
Mel glanced a little uneasily at Tunda with a faint grimace. "Well..."
"It can wait." The unicorn did not know anything about Tunda nor what had happened to him. What he was sure of was that he was a victim. As far as Shido knew, Tunda did not need to hear about Asher's problems, nor any developments in his personal life. The latter was the unicorn's cousin's suggestion, that perhaps he had "met" someone "special."
People were going to have to find out about Tunda and Mull and Asher sometime. Mel just was not sure when. He was not good at timing but rather spontaneity. But right now, he knew that the most important thing was getting Tunda settled in. "Yeah... I want to talk with you about this though."
"Didja save me any coffee?" the vampire drawled, changing the subject.
"Yeah." Gesturing toward the coffee pot, the dragon ushered the pokemon out.
When they were further down the hall, he said to nobody in particular: "This is getting complicated." Nothing was ever cut-and-dry. He wished he could just announce to everyone what the situation was, with say a megaphone. Completely impractical. "That was Shido. He's friends with Asher... and tonight I guess we're going to find out if Asher made friends with Mull last night."

((XD Tis fine with me luff. ^__^ ))
Tunda's eyes warily flicked over Shido as the other entered the room, automatically shrinking back in Mel's direction, very small, wary sparks flicking off his fur. He watches the interactions between Mel and Shido for a moment, then blinks as he was ushered out of the room. His ears twitch, hearing the other's comment.
"I-If he hadn't... I'm sure Mas-M-HE would be back to claim me." He mumbles, tail curling unconsciously around his waist as he talked. "A-Although... I d-don't know if Asher... would like m-meeting his more dark side..." He mumbles almost too quiet to hear.

The dragon's hand clamped over the pokemon's shoulder firmly. He spoke with an equally determined set to his jaw. "Then he will find that you have allies that even you didn't know about, Tunda. We will not let him take you unless you want to be taken."
"Ah, here we go." It was with almost the same breath that they came upon the guest room and Mel guided Tunda inside. "I followed you to make sure you knew where towels and stuff are," he said, showing him just that.

Tunda blinks at the other's response, then actually takes a look around the room that Mel had led him to. "T-thank you." He mumbles, quite unsure of what the proper response to either statement should be.
"I... I just hope that Asher d-doesn't meet his other personality on a bad day. He's... much more cruel in that mode..."

Mel frowned a little. "Well I'm sure he can take care of himself. He's several hundred years old, from what I gather." How did he view everyone else? As children? Infants? Was he merely humoring Mel's little quirks? Scary thoughts.
"Well... if that's it, I'll leave you be. Come back to the kitchen when you're ready to go. If you decide you'd like to wait on the shopping trip and just explore for a while, that's fine too."

Tunda nods, then fidgets for a moment until he hears the door close behind him. He then proceeds to quickly strip down and climb awkwardly into the shower, his injured leg proving to be a bit more trouble than it was worth at the moment as he bent it the wrong way and nearly collapsed in the bottom of the tub. Gritting his teeth, he forces himself to stand, then very carefully pulls the curtain closed behind him and turns the water on, proceeding to attempt to scrub every last bit of dirt off himself without angering his other injuries.

Mel flopped on his back over the bar connecting with the counters like a rag doll. He was lithe like a rubber band and heedless of how he might crush his own wings, which only fit perfectly with his random personality. With his head dangling over the edge he peered up at Shido, who was seated with his cup of coffee at the bar, and sighed. But he said nothing, simply kicking his feet.
"Not biting off more than you can chew, are you?" the vampire asked noncommittally over the rim of his cup.
"Nah." The dragon's tail curled as he pondered life, the universe, and all matters relating to Tunda. He glanced over his shoulder and realized something. "Ah, you're reading the paper..."
"I'm not reading anything of any consequence," he smiled, starting to fold up the newspaper. "We had something to discuss..."
(( I'm actually going to break that conversation off right there. :3 ))

(( *chuckles* That's fine with me. XD ))
Tunda, now fully clean, carefully levers himself out of the shower, using anything he could grab for support. He stares down at his dirty, filthy rags on the floor and fidgets, debating on whether he should put them back on or walk out with a towel around his waist. Granted, the towels weren't as long as his old clothes, but it would be better cover, certainly. He sighs, slumping against the wall, his head resting against the cupboard behind him. "I can do this.... I can be normal... I don't belong to them anymore..." He mumbles to himself, ears plastering themselves flat against his head. He then nods quickly, then carefully pushes away from the wall, pulling open a door and grabbing the nearest towel, a large black one, and wraps it securely around his waist before using his tail to pick up his old dirty clothes and slowly walking towards the door, opening it a crack and peering around cautiously. Not seeing anyone nearby, he began to feel panic well up in his throat, barely managing to clamp down and keep his whimper of fear from being too loud.

Tunda had been gone for several minutes, long enough to get the important details out of Mel without letting him ramble too much, as he was wont to do on occasion when he got on a roll. The unicorn frowned lightly. "He probably looks a lot better than last night, but it might be hard for him to get back out here on his own."
"I thought of that," the dragon admitted, kicking his legs out before him as he sat on a counter. He liked to pace and move around when he spoke, probably a habit he should try to break eventually... "But what was I supposed to do, hover?" he fretted.
The unicorn nodded. "It's an awkward situation." He swirled the coffee around in his cup; it was beginning to cool, unfortunately. "So whose clothes did you have to borrow for Tunda to use?"
"Clothes... holy s**t." Without another word, Mel launched himself up and out the door. He missed Shido's grin of amusement as he tore off down the hall, feeling like a complete blockhead. Who was about his size, and either awake or around to bother? He figured it out soon enough, but not before Tunda had stuck his head out into the hall, spooked. "Tunda!" The dragon ran back up the hall with a pile of clothes, with some extras in case they could not find everything today shopping. Skidding to a stop, he was all smiles even realizing that he had probably scared the crap out of him for all the noise he was making. "Sorry! I have some clothes.... tried to find something kinda big for you so you could take them off easily in the dressing room at the store..."
(( Nowhere near as good as the original. *kicks Stop errors in the face* -.-; ))

Tunda nearly jumped out of his skin at the suddenly 'charging' dragon he was faced with, quite literally shooting a small volt of electricity at Mel in pure terror before noticing the large pile of clothes in the others arms. Immediately sorry, he limps over and bows his head before Mel. "I-I'm sorry! I-I d-didn't m-mean to z-zap you!" He said, a tremor starting to wrack his poor abused body with a case of the shakes, out of pure fear that he was about to be punished for his automatic impulse.
