Niso’s reply had Lucien huffing. “You’re stupider,” he muttered not unlike an irritated child. What came after had him sputtering a bit, however. Never mind that Niso had just admitted to not wanting to kidnap people for a specific purpose. Never mind that he had a friend who was apparently touchy about aura users. “ DUDE, I’m an aura user," Lucien snapped right back. How did Niso not register this? Did he not see the gleam of green that Lucien had used when punching his face in? Did he not find it weird he was talking about Aura so personally?? How did he not know he was an aura user himself? The fuck? The thought that this was a side effect of his own fist didn’t even register to Lucien right then. “I’m learnin’ ta use aura.” And as if to make his point, he surrounded one arm in that shimmering green aura that he’d tightened so hard into a fist and socked Niso with.

Niso lifted his head back up as Lucien seemed to almost scoff in disbelief, but as he started to explain why, gears began to turn in Niso’s head….oooooh. Okay so...so that hadn’t just been...oh wow. No wonder he was hurting so much from each of those punches. And...might that explain why he didn’t heal? Probably...his healing factor was based on his aura, and he had managed to heal from multiple injuries since then…
As the green shimmer was displayed, Niso couldn’t help but snicker, covering his mouth so as not to be rude but...aaah.
『I am gonna be completely honest...』He pointed at the shimmering arm and let a brief silence pass before finishing. 『You hit me in the head so many times...I thought I hallucinated that...』

The snicker had Lucien’s eyebrow quirking— the pause even more so, but as Niso explained, a small puff of air escaped from Lucien. Shit really? Don’t laugh, don’t laugh, don’t laugh— His lips pressed together, but a small chuckle forced passed them anyways. Shit… He should not be so pleased, but here he was for a second or two. All that hard work training his aura had paid off for a brief moment in time even if Viola had reamed him for it later once she’d learned of what happened. Lucien gave himself a minute to calm but his features remained quirked even as he tried to speak again. “Ok, yeh…. dat’s fair…” Reaching back up and feeling through his own hair, he shrugged slowly. “It was pretteh nasty…” Shaking his head a bit, he reached up to grab a cup from the cupboard and some packets of sugar he had lying around. The coffee pot was halfway filled now, and that was almost to the point it’d be done. Alamea rested by it watching the two humans idly now.

Niso chuckled a little himself as he spotted Lucien doing it, a tiny part hoping it’d encourage Lucien to laugh more. It was funny! Sure it came at the expense of some brain cells that, in this case, may sadly not regenerate unless his whole head gets blown up some day, but the fact he’d thought that was some figment of his imagination was a bit of a laugh, especially as he realized Lucien was even more perfect for this than he’d initially realized!
Spotting him rooting about in the cupboard, Niso licked his lips as he leaned over and quietly stole a pack of sugar. He offered to make him a coffee anyway so its not like he wouldn’t have lost an extra pack to begin with.
『Well...you havn’t agreed yet so i hate to assume, BUT!』 He opened the packet, tipping his head back and downing the sugar straight, twinging a bit at how sweet it felt on his tongue before rapidly shaking his head to push through the twinge it gave him. 『Ah. Yeah. But, If you weeeeere to help me, I could easily teach you the basics of this channeling crap! You’d get better with Aura, we’d see if life can be brought back to the wasteland, and Sera ends up happy!...I hope she will at least. It’d be a horrible time to learn she’s allergic to real roses.』He...was pretty sure she used them aesthetically once or twice...probably…? Eh. Him and his memory.Not like his writer was blaming this on him or anything.

At having one of his sugar packets stolen, Lucien snorted softly. Sure, why not, heh. Pouring himself the coffee, he finally took a slow sip. Ugh, man hopefully this settled the small pounding going on his head, heh. In the meantime, Lucien’d listen as Niso talked and took long, slow sips of his coffee in order to give himself time to think and answer a little better. Niso was… kinda a weirdo huh? From the way he talked to his general disposition. He didn’t feel like a lord of chaos so much as a big dweeb… Hard to believe this was the same little bag of dicks that— This is Sera’s doing. He was doing it for Sera so… yeah, obviously. Gold eyes closed for a couple of seconds as he considered that a little more. The thought of being taught any form of aura by Niso Konto sounded like a curse waiting to happen rather than a blessing. However, Viola had made it clear she wouldn’t teach him any further kinds of ‘projection’ until he’d strengthened his aura more, and… who knew how long that’d be? Heh… The thought of actually being able to use it to heal the wasteland a little or even Elena’s eyes? That just….. Why the was his hand shaking? The cup in it was nearly about to splash over if he didn’t fucking quit that. But ah…

Niso’s eyes washed over Lucien as he had his coffee, arms folding over his chest now with just that same smile plastered onto his face like he was oblivious to the world around him, but by now all he needed was for Lucien to say yes to his request. Of course he didn’t want to kidnap anyone but...having someone who would be such versatile help right infront of him might be tempting if he did end up saying no...then again he was Sera’s friend and a Benoit, so maybe not the best idea to piss off someone who could sway Sera, or just tell people where he lived once he got that bit of info out of either him or Sera herself. Hmmmmm...Wait was he shaking? With confused eyes meeting Lucien’s, he just stepped forward, cupping the...cup, in both of his own hands, hissing briefly as some spilled and burned his hands, but given how pain tended to be a mute response these days, he didn’t instinctively rip his hands back.
『You okay there?』

Lucien winced letting his hand drop from the arm of the mug so Niso could just… hold it for a second. “Ah… er… yeah ‘m ok…” he answered reaching up and rubbing the side of his face. “Jus’ thinkin’ ‘f ah could heal Elena’s eyes wit’ aura…” Sone part of him doubted it. Some part of him was sure it was too big a project or too far out of his skill range but…. But- but. Arms folded around Lucien, and he folded into himself just a little. “Could be … realleh good…maybeh…” He rubbed his hands a little and looked up at Niso. “Dunno ‘f et’s even possible but…” But if he could start to learn now then maybe someday? Wasteland first— right. If he could get passed that hurdle then… he could just keep going. A slow, shaky breath drew in and out of him before Lucien nodded. “Mkay dude ya got me…” he half laughed.

Hand still stinging a little from the fresh coffee, Niso lowered the cup to one side for a second and blew on his hands, cause yeah, THAT’D FIX IT. Nevertheless the mix of sensations did numb the pain faintly, and while he had no reason to rush them under cold water he might do that in a second. No he might do that now actually, casually just walking around Lucien as he spoke about something clearly close to the heart for him, at least polite enough to not run the water full blast so he could still hear him. The stuff about Elena...he wasn’t too sure on anyway. Flicking his hands dry, he bit his tongue about telling him how he’d actually left Elena and Thomas...whatever let them live could heal a HOLE in Thomas’ chest and not cure Elena’s blindness so...he really doubted any old human could try.
But hey...if Lucien wanted to live on blind hope, power to him.~ Niso crossed his arms and leaned himself back agaisnt the sink with a bright smile.
『Great!~ We’ll need to start in like, a day or two at least since I want it to be fully grown by the time the big day rolls around!』He might celebrate it a day early even, Sera would probably wanna go out on Valentines day and participate in some event or other, but eh, it was just a ‘day’, so long as he celebrated it, who cared when he did. He’d have christmas in summer for all he cared. Fuck da rulez!
『Here.』He whipped out his phone and sent a map-location to Lucien via text. 『My home!~ I’ll grab some bags of manure and whatever else the books suggest, and we can find somewhere in the wasteland after that. Hopefully this should all work out!』
Niso turned on his heel to leave, got 3 steps, then turned back around.
『Should I leave through the window? Saves you having to unlock the door for me.』

Start in a day or two? Lucien made a face. Then what the fuck was the purpose of getting him up like thiiiis? Aside from maybe ensuring he would be around to talk to but maaaaaan you could have just texted him too argh. Lucien fought and failed to suppress a yawn. Whatever. He could go back to bed even when caffeinated. As Niso texted him the map location, Lucien pulled out his phone to check it. Oh huh, he really did live right up next to the wasteland. Arceus… “Ya might wanna build ah small greenhouse fer it…” he commented reaching up and ruffling his hair. “Er, around it maybeh ‘ts still cold ‘n all.” A hard freeze could kill any small seed or sapling or just keep it from growing at all, heh. “Might look in ta that tew.”
The window comment, however, had him snorting. “Er ya c’n try climbin’ out tha chimney,” he answered thumbing over to the two story brick furnace. What no Lucien wsan’t mobird enough to set it on fire with Niso in there or anything.

A greenhouse huh? You could buy small plastic ones so he could probably do that, just need to make a call to Marcie, maybe later when it wasn’t so early and she wasn’t gonna be so grumpy. At the chimney comment he did legitimately pause, thinkingfor a second before walking over to the fire place, dipping under the mantle and peering up the length of it, taking a second or two before pulling his head out and heading back for the stairs.
『Nah, it funnels towards the top, I’d never get out that way』
Heading up to Lucien’s room, Niso would be out the window before he even got up there himself, rubbing the top of Karlak’s head in a purposely patronizing manner for waiting for him before taking off with a heavy wingbeat.
--
A day or two later as agreed, Niso would meet up with Lucien and take him to the spot he’d already set up, Yumi’s writer not too fussed to give the grand tour of Niso’s place for the 5th time to the same two people x3. Of course if Lucien had any comments Niso could answer them during the trip, the dark child making sure they went a good ways into the wasteland where Lucien’s third eye basically became useless par Niso and whatever pokemon each of them would bring out, the dark child having gotten any items Lucien had suggested they need over texts and put them in a pile. Shovels, soil, seeds, the tiny greenhouse, aaaand.
『That big lug there』 He pointed to the waving Golisopod by the pile 『is gonna stay with it till it grows and make sure no big pokemon stamp on it!~』

Pffft. Lucien snorted softly but waved Niso off as he left. He drank a cup of coffee and thegrabbed Alamea taking her back to bed and folding into its warmth again. He’d… do something today, he promised, probably. ---
Niso’s house was not what Lucien was expecting. Then again, he had no idea what he was expecting, so there was that too. He’d comment a little on its interesting furniture but wasn’t too comfortable staying there too long anyways. As they got out into the wasteland, the hairs on the back of his neck would start to stand on end, and he’d finally release his Meganium, Hiu, whom he’d brought both for working’s sake and for general protection. The Pokedex entry that a Meganium’s breath was able to revive dead plants wouldn’t necessarily be the case here where it was not only dead but aura deprived, but Hiu would be good for other things, anyways.
As they finally came to the spot where the items were and the Golisopod stood, Lucien found his lips quirking a little weakly on seeing it again. An awkward hand raised up as he acknowledged the creature that had been witness to Lucien’s vicious beat down of Niso before he changed focus again. “Kewl,” came and went from his lips before he focused a little more on the ground. “Ey, Hiu, c’n ya break up tha ground a lil?” he asked looking back to the Meganium. The latter gave a small nod, releasing a very tiny earthquake that was only enough to shake up some of the ground. Bending down and feeling through the dirt with his hands, Lucien finally worked up enough energy to stare at it with his aura sight. Dead… Yeah… he… expected as much, heh. A small half-breath came and went form him. Hopefully some new soil would fill in for it. “Ya gawt s’me seeds?” he asked with a smallish smile.

As Lucien and the Golisopod looked at eachother, the odd star like pupils of the inset clearly sharpened as it locked onto the human that had, without lack of a better term, kicked the shit out of his trainer. Despite being one of Niso’s softer pokemon, he was at least one of the more protective of the immortal, growling faintly as he recognized Lucien, and Niso taking antother few seconds to catch on before lightly bonking himself on the side of the head. 『Oh! Yeah! Right! You two have met already! Hah! Ya think I’d remember that given the impression you left Benoit!~』He notably pronounced it ‘Ben-Oit’ rather than ‘Ben-wah’.
Letting Lucien lead the way, Niso gestured to one of the bags of soil and grabbed it from his Golisopod, struggling immensely with the weight but slowly moving it across to the spot that was being dug up, placing it closer should they need it, resting his hands on his knees as he watched Lucien work, wanting to take all this in should he need to do it alone himself if the first run failed.
『Seeds? Yeah sure!~』Moving back to the pile, he brought over a small packet of seeds. 『Dunno how many ya need to have a chance here, but I can always get more if we need it.~』The smile on his face, from anyone else, would seem hopefully optimistic~

Ben-oit? Lucien’s gaze with the Golisopod broke as he looked back to Niso, eyebrow raised. “Ya know ya c’n call meh Luci,” he decided on rather than correcting phonetics when it was his self-appointed job to thrash them heh. He focused back on the ground, however, his mind ticking a little more. Hiu had started to dig through the soil with his tiny hooves of sorts, and after a moment more, Lucien would pick up a shovel and start digging as well. He dug a lot deeper than necessary, and as Niso brought the soil over, he pulled apart the bag and began to mesh the purchased soil with the ground soil. Drawing up his aura sight, he’d stare at it coming together. There was some life, in the way of worms and plant matter, but would it be enough to get a plant going? Chewing his lower lip, Lucien realized how invested he’d gotten in this in such a short time. Shesh. Shaking his head, he continued to mix the soil with a shovel until Niso got back. “Noice,” he answered taking the seeds and very briefly flipping them over to read the basic instructions. Ah yeah, this sounded about right. “Hmmmmm,” shifting the dirt with his shovel, he made some fine rows with it. “Gonna try fer a couple ‘ere,” he explained gesturing to the way it had been laid out before dropping to one knee. “Then ya just gotta make a lil hole wit’ yer thumb ‘n plop et in,” he showed as he spoke and then looked sideways at Niso. “Nawt bad eh?”

『Luci?』 Niso tipped his head to the side as he majorly watched what the Benoit was doing, still pronouncing it his own way in his head. Was Lucien one of those people with gender issues? That did sound like a fairly girly name...probably not. He seemed pretty comfortable with himself and he was pretty sure he might have referred to him as a guy to his face, and Sera probably did as much too...eh. He didn’t care enough to find out. 『Whatever you say Luci.』
Crouching down, Niso would roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty shifting some of the soil with the blonde, wanting to make sure, even with how little he knew, making sure it seemed nice and flat in the holes they were making humming along happily enough as he got a little messy, tipping his eyes up as Lucien looked over the seeds, and taking a small few himself as he listened. It was clear even through his vacant expression that he was listening intently, and definitely cared about doing this right.
『Like this?』He rubbed his thumb into the soil and plopped a seed in as instructed, maybe getting a little ahead of himself and brushing the soil back over the hole he’d made, looking back to Lucien to make sure he was on the right track, and continuing to make a few more holes if he was doing okay.

Lucien watched Niso mimick the motion and gave a small nod. “Yep, jus’ like dat,” he answered doing a few more in the same fashion and watching Niso in turn. Once they had got at least a couple small rows done, Lucien slowly forced himself up again and dusted off his hands. “Ey, Hiu, ya wanna try sparkin’ et a lil?” The Meganium rolled his shoulders not too sure this would work but willing to try. Taking in a deep breath and releasing it again, Lucien hoped that maybe it’d put some kick in the flowers. “Now ya jus’ gotta water et, jus’ a lil at first, notta water gun,” he grinned a little looking back towards the Golisopod before shrugging his shoulders again. “And uh… ya wanna give meh tha basics ‘f channelin’? Might be able ta ‘elp et along tew…” He… wasn’t even too sure that would work, but it was incentive for Niso so whatever heh.
