020; [action for Goldenrod/Route 34]

[if one is brave enough to venture outside in the cold and snow and ice and onto Route 34 today, he or she may notice a feral child just outside the entrance to Goldenrod-- Johto's very own Mowgli is sitting cross-legged off to the side, hunched over with his arms wrapped tightly around himself. surprisingly enough, snow is pretty chilly when one lacks a winter coat.]

[it's not out of not owning one, however; Sora's coat is actually laid out on the ground in front of him. no... wait, it's haphazardly draped across about the top third of a Dratini, who is curled up with his head resting on Trainer's lap. the coat isn't much, but it's all Sora's got.]

C'mon... We're maybe ten minutes away from the Center. You can do it! We've made it this far together, right?

[a pitiful whine from the Dratini. Sora's momentarily defeated expression is obscured by his hair, and by the fact that he's staring down at the ground. though it's probably equally pitiful, that defeat hardens into steel determination-- he and Pokémon hadn't trudged around out in who-knows-where for two weeks, and finally back onto the route to wind up freezing to death now.]

All right. [his voice is unsteady, but warm.] I think you've pulled more than your own weight lately... I'll keep going for the both of us. Okay? Hold still; I'll carry you.

[... how Sora intends to pick up and carry what is essentially a 6-foot giant worm is questionable, but dangit, he's going to try-- once he picks himself up and actually gets going, anyway. good thing Dratinis are on the light side for their length.]

Well... That was more 'cause I have good friends than it was luck.

Yeah! I bet I'm even more hardcore than Heather now!

[flexes RAWR I AM STRONG.]

And you didn't even need any scars. Girls like the hardcore ones, you know.

Wait, so girls like scars?

[processing, processing...]

... How come Leon doesn't have girls hanging off of him, then?

Not all girls. And that's probably because he glares way too much for his own good.

My thoughts exactly! I've been trying to get him to smile really big ever since he got here.

-- His new puppy got a huge smile out of him, so I guess that's enough of a victory. I'll take anything I can get.

M'gonna work on getting Lightning to smile really big next.

Good luck on that one. I've gotten her to smile, but they're always small ones.

[action]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
I've gotten her to smile little smiles, too.

-- Hey, I bet if we double teamed her she'd smile twice as big!

It's worth a shot! At the very least, she might smile normally.

[this is the most thoughtful of expressions as Sora tries to picture what Lightning would look like with a huge grin plastered on her face. hmmm...]

I think we could pull that off, easy!

Then let's do it! For Light!

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I'll tell her the best jokes I know!

[action]

[identity profile] newhero.livejournal.com 2011-02-07 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
The last one I tried didn't work on her, but I bet that was just my delivery.

[... are you ready for this, Rise.]

What do you call a guy with a toe made of rubber?

[ ... no. No, she's not. ]

No idea.

See, you got it! Lightning didn't get it.
