Huh. A curious look did come to Orion's features as Daniel spoke. Could that be why Paws was smaller than average? He'd evolved too soon? That's cute… Weirdly cute. "Maybe I should have eased up on his training," he chuckled softly. "Though I guess in a way it fits him either way." That lower center of gravity gave him a bit of an edge at times, even when at other times his height was almost comedic by comparison to the other Lycanroc.
The Rockruff, meanwhile, was very content to be pet by this new hand, nuzzling against it and shaking a bit pleasantly. Leaning up on Daniel, he might have scratch-rubbed that sharp neck mane a bit too hard against him, but that was the least of anyone's worries (right? Heh).
The commentary had Orion closing both eyes very briefly. The feel of the sun, the motion of air, the everything around them was weirdly lulling. "It'll get brighter and bright longer as the days stretch out." he murmured considering summer already. When was the time change again? Not any time soon, right? Maybe he'd have to look that up before it was sprung forward on him. "So long as it doesn't get hot any time soon, it'll be nice."
The pups, meanwhile, had somehow gotten ahold of another ball and were equally fighting over it now, their gentle yips coming and going as their shift in gears and emphasis occurred. They didn't even miss their missing pack mate just yet.

Death is a choice that I rejected |
He didn't mind as the sharp rock mane brushed up against him, and he continued to pet the puppy anyways, ignoring the ouch of the mane. He had been hit by worse, so it wasn't too bad at all compared to those... other things. As he continued petting and scritching the puppy, his eyes looked back up at Orion.
"Well, I wouldn't mind weather to match what back home was like, but at the same time, I enjoy darker weather." He motioned down to his Houndour as well, referencing the types he liked. Almost all of his pokemon were more comfortable in the shadow of night, away from the bright sunlight.
It was also a large portion of why the dark haired man stayed inside so often. On top of his health and what not of course... which was the exact reason why his doctor wanted him out and going for walks, like today. He should still be walking too, honestly, but he just.... he couldn't be assed. It sucked to remember the days when you could run fast, jump high and hit harder than most. All while moving without making hardly a sound. Now he'd been reduced to some, near alcoholic mess.
Oh where did the time go. The only skill he had left was his telekinesis, and he hardly used that in public unless he had to. "Nothing we can do about it. I'll just have to argue with my doctor more. Oh yea, he'll like that." He chuckled out, already imagining the look of frustration on Osiris's face over a video call when he finds out that once again, instead of going out, getting some sunlight and exercise. Daniel had decided to work inside and just shake his pedometer ALL DAY. ONCE AGAIN.
Oh yes, that sounded like a plan. Annoying Osiris would never cease to ammuse him. He saved his life, he'd like to see that same man follow through with the threats to undo that.

A small smirk curled up on Orion's lips as Daniel spoke. "Where's home for you?" he asked a rather nonchalant follow-up question. If not Veria then what country or region, heh? Someplace overcast maybe? His gaze flickered upwards, and the vague image of Northern Era's skyline came and went from his mind. Uhmph, he almost kind of sort of vaguely missed it if he thought too much about it.
But at the rest of that, though? "Doctors can go fuck themselves," Orion said unexpectedly, vaguely surprising himself as well as the Rockruff taking notice of him. A weird half-laugh escaped from Orion, and he shrugged after the fact. "They never have good news to tell me, so I don't bother going anymore." Yeah, there we go, a bit better. "Would rather just live." For as long as he could anyways.
The Rockruff whined in Daniel's lap.

Daniel let go of the Rockruff when he whined, looking at his master. "Home?" He seemed to think for a minute on that one. He did look like he was from Johto, but that was just his heritage. Pure blooded Johto male, but that wasn't his home. He'd been there though, of course. "I was actually born and raised in Sunyshore." It wasn't that bad of a place.
If you didn't mind the occasional power outage from the nearby gym. That was just beyond annoying in every dissatisfactory way possible. "And this doctor, I guess I can forgive. He's a long time friend, I owe quite a bit to him as well." He's the one that didn't give up on Daniel when everyone else wanted to proclaim him dead. He's also the one that gave him a job there at the hospital to work off the bill instead of throwing him onto the streets as a disowned assassin with people potentially hunting for his head for taking the lives of their loved ones.
Osiris was a friend more than a co-worker at that point. More often than not, he missed that old fucker, and started to wonder more and more of what become of him. Last he had heard, he and his son had quit rocket to come here. Noticing that he had zoned out, thanks to the Houndour at his feet having turned around and placing a paw on his knee, Daniel blinked and looked over to Osiris. "Other doctors can go fuck themselves though, agreed. A lot of times, they have nothing to say to you that you don't already know."

Sunnyshore- Where was that again? Orion's world geography lessons were not the best, but it vaguely sounded like something out of Sinnoh? Or something? Eh, it didn't matter too much, actually. His attention shifted a little to the Rockruff again as it looked at him worried, and Orion smiled abet not very reassuringly. Easing out of Daniel's lap again, the Rockruff stumbled a little before finally climbing into Orion's again. Orion smirked a bit softly before reaching back to scratch the soft skin around the rocky collar of sorts. Back legs started to move slightly in response.
At least Daniel seemed to like this doctor and seemed willing to tell other doctors go fuck themselves, heh. A small chuckle resounded from Orion as he allowed his gaze to flicker forward again. "I have a friend who…. Is kinda a pseudo doctor," he admitted. "More a berry master with an emphasis in medicine. But he's good at what he does and 'e's not nearly as annoying as MDs can be." Luke was still very much his best friend, unironically. "He's actually doing research as a professor here, heh." Was that a hint of pride? Oh yeah, always. "Luke Indigo, ya heard of him?"

Daniel pushed the paw off of his leg and gave Gladius a couple of pats on the head, looking to Orion to nod and think on it for a moment. "Luke Indigo?" He repeated, mostly to his self. He'd heard quite a few names when he was on his way to becoming a professor and what not.
"I believe I've heard it passed around a few times. I've never met him before though." He admitted, leaning back in the bench a bit more as his Houndour settled between his legs once again, placed slightly underneath the bench, ears alert. "I don't leave my own home that often, so I'm honestly surprised I've at least heard the name." He chuckled, looking up at the sky, watching some birds pass over head.
Why couldn't it be raining or something? So he could have Salem out or something, he had other Pokemon that liked to be out, but it was difficult for some of them to get that liberty due to their stigma and nature. Some people had to hold onto those negative opinions, but whatever.

A small smile quirked at the corners of Orion's lips as the man registered Luke's name if not who he was specifically. There was always a measure of pride he felt in knowing someone who had made a name for himself so readily. And also being considered a very close friend too heh. "Heh, I can admit it's nice to know how far his name's gone," he admitted a bit lamer than intended. And not tinged with the infamy of other people. Man, he really did like Niso for everything he was, but he was also a walking mess in terms of just about everything.
Another thought occurred to him, however, and Orion's eyes flickered to the man again. "I mentioned I just work on a breeder's ranch, nothing too fancy," he commented briefly before segwaying into something else. "But what do you do for a living aside from… the shut in life style?" He honestly couldn't fathom enjoying the indoors enough to willingly trap himself in there for however long, but perhaps his interactions with the indoors were not as conventional as other people's either.

Daniel shifted where he was seated, stretching his legs out just a bit while Gladius let out a low yawn. "Oh. I mean, I've gone through several jobs, but I dropped my most reason one, head of a nursing department, for working as a league professor." He explained after a moment of thinking. "Took me a couple of years to get the position, but I did." He gave a goofy thumbs up, a stupid smile taking over his face before letting out a soft snort.
"Breeder's ranches are nice places from time to time. Free range Pokemon?" He asked lightly, trying his best to avoid a lazy or demanding sounding question. Ruffling his black bangs, he pushed them out of his face before turning his head back to Orion, ignoring the sleepy boofs of the Houndour at his feet.

As Daniel described what he did, Orion blinked several times slowly. From head of a nursing department to League Professor? How did he make that huge a job, and how did Orion not catch on to who this guy was? Heh, at least the latter was more on Orion than anything. He didn't track the League's movements as extensively as some people did even if maybe he probably should have by that point. Daniel's goofy smile, however, had Orion smirking a bit back. Least he seemed to be a laid-back kind of guy. Maybe he could teach Luke a thing or two since apparently Orion couldn't.
As the question was turned back to him, he gave a small nod. "Some fences here and there, but mostly to keep people from messing with them," he answered shifting forward to set the Rockruff down. The pup shifted and stretched before looking back excitedly. Orion made a small gesture, and the pup was quick to go bounding off into the flurry of fur and feet again. The pups in question, however, were starting to wind down just a bit. They were younglings, after all. And even as some of them continued to fight over balls and sticks and whatever else they had found, three of them, two Poochyna and a Rockruff, had laid down for a momentary rest. "I find it's the best way to raise them, give them just enough boundaries but otherwise have at it."
