♠ Aloura ♥ Lavicus ♣

Aloura was somewhat started as two pokemon she thought hadn't been there before attacked the fox pokemon. She was certainly unsuspecting of the aid, but it was not at all unwelcome. It kept the large creature distracted an extra moment that it may have used for attack. Thus, before their large opponent could raise a paw to institute said counter attack, she began to fade much like the dinosaur like poekmon Aloura had been up against not very long ago. She could feel relief filling her as the phantom thinned into nothing. The relief became almost an explosive feeling as she looked around to see that all the other grayish poekmon had disappeared as well. There would be no further attacks. Just at that moment there was an odd sensation due to the strange properties of teleportation and they were back at the guild.

Lavicus's eyes opened blearily as the considerably warmer temperatures thawed his frozen blood. His head was rather fuzzy from the experience but he faintly recognized the settings. He was back at the guild, he though. "Lavicus," said a somewhat familiar voice. His newly assigned partner he recalled, reaching back to the memories before his black out. Aloura. "Do you sleep still?"

"No," the seviper responded simply, wondering again at her strange wording. Lifting his head, he glanced over his partner. There was a cut on her side that hadn't been touched. He sighed. She should at least have the common sense to take care of herself. You need to have that treated at the hospital," he indicated the wound. "Treated? Hospital?" the absol replied, puzzled. Lavicus didn't respond for a moment, tiring to decide whether or not she was joking. When it became apparent that she wasn't, he explained, bemused at her naivety "Cleaned and bandaged. Healed. At the building where there are doctors" he assumed she didn't know what doctors were, and added, "People who can heal.” She nodded, seeming to understand. "Healed, yes. I was waiting for you to become alert. You must also come to the... the hos.. hosbitail." she stumbled tentatively over the word. Lavicus shook his head. His upbringing had taught him to avoid and distrust hospitals. Whenever it was possible, he would use his own natural treatments. He didn't need to go to the hospital to have some doctor tell him what he already knew, he'd broken a rib or two, and give him the treatment that he would give himself- rest and a splint. “I can take care of myself. I will be in our team room.”

Aloura looked slightly hurt. She had waited beside him until he had waken up, worried, and now he was simply going to go off to their room? How could he command her to the hospital but not go himself when his injures were so much worse? She was not going to go if he refused to. Defiantly she stepped upto the snakes side. You could see the broken ribs slightly disforming his long, lean body as he slithered, but he didn't so much a flinch. When the seviper noticed Aloura he stopped, moving his body so that he could position his head as high as hers. ”What are you doing?” he asked, irked, his dark red eyes glinting dangerously. “If you have refused to take yourself to the healer, I shall as well,” the absol responded, her eyes shinning stubbornly. “Aloura, you will go to the hospital,” Lavicus hissed.

“Not unless you permit yourself to go also.”

“You have no reason to avoid the hospital. My people do not like them.”

“You are acting as...” she searched for the word, “a hypocrite.”

Lavicus hissed again, become more and more annoyed at the snow furred pokemon. “Aloura...”

“No, she cut him off, “We are partners. We are together as ice and snow. I will not venture there alone.

“As you wish,” the seviper said darkly as he gave in to the stubborn creature. The argument was not worth it. He could easily tend to her himself. He wasn't going to give in completely, however. “I will treat you myself. You have to go collect our reward, however.”

Aloura had been told about the reward. She had no personal interest in it, but she supposed they ought naught leave it. She did not know what it was, but perhaps it would assist them later. She didn't like to leave Lavicus after having just somewhat won an argument about not leaving him, but she supposed this was the best she could do. “I am agreed,” she said finally.

Lavius nodded his consent. “I will be in the team room.

After watching for a moment to see where the other poekmon who had their things were coming from to make sure she was headed to the right place. As soon as she figured out where she was going, she trotted into the building. The egg she received she handled with the utmost care. As uneducated to the world as she was, she knew very well what an egg was. She'd never seen an egg other than an absol's egg, but they were all much the same thing and needed the same care. On the other hand, she had never heard of anything like the TM before. None the less treated it gentility.

Balancing the two things carefully she made her way back to the team room. Having only visited it once before, it was a wonder she didn't lose her way. She did make it back however, and Lavicus was there. After he made sure that the both of them were treated the team settled down to rest for a while. It had been an interesting first day to say the very, very least.
