LaCruex awoke at his normal hour of crack of dawn. He made sure the "cabin" as Walter insisted on calling it was clean. He made sure that Renoir Jack and Harlot had their food dishes filled and Walter had his morning tea and newspaper ready. The three Pokemon were still asleep for now. The perfect time to gather his thoughts and make sure the Grimer moat was doing fine. He made sure that the to do list that Walter left him was completed before heading outside. The dew was fresh on what grass was around and the sun was just starting to rise like a typical morning. Except for one thing. The Grimers in the moat seemed agitated. They were usually much happier to see him. Instead they kept their distance, clearly not in the mood for any human interaction. Even one that was bringing food for them. LaCruex brushed the disheveled rag of brown black hair out of his auburn eyes and glowered. He pointed and yelled, fake Cajun accent thick. "Hey you there! What are ya doin in maa swahmp?"

Harper turned a sharp red color when he suddenly burst out. She had been... carefully watching her step as she traversed this.. this... Pigsty? Slop pit? Stink sink? It was gross, it was yucky, it was surely bad news. She could see why she had been PAID to come out here and see what was happening here. By some alarmed pearl clutching snobby lady. (She assumed she was hired on the phone, she wasn't keen on in person interviews for 'mysterious' reasons.) She wanted to believe. She wanted to believe in like.. not this for once. "I.. I... I don't know!" she shrieked, squealing. Why had she worn cute sandals. Why had she worn cute sandals, why why why why had she worn cute sandals? She had taken a big step in a really grubby slimey muddy.. yuck! SHE COULD FEEL IT BETWEEN HER TOES. WAS IT MOVING!? "HELP!" she was practically flailing, looking quite silly.

LaCruex watched her struggle for a moment before sighing, his sympathy winning out. The girl was just so damn little it tugged something in him. She must have been dared by one of her so called friends to pester him. He went and approached her, expression well hidden. She really was a tiny little thing. He nudged the Grimer admiring her shoes with his boots and convinced the sludge to leave the tiny girl alone.
The puddle of sludge sighed indignantly and went back into the moat where the others were, feasting on the trash he left for their morning meal. The girl's shoes unharmed even after being engulfed in the Grimer, he was begrudgingly grateful the girl was not hurt. However. Hands on his hips, it was far too early for these kind of shenanigans. He pursed his lips and tutted at her. She was pretty brave for somebody so small. LaCruex figured he might as well give her a chance to explain herself.
"Nohw. If you don't know, why would you come here? Far outside of the safety of Sinclair, to some strange man's cabin far off any trail. Doesn't make a whohle lotta sense, nohw does eet?"

'Think Harper.. think, come on... what were you here for, what were you doing out in the middle of nowhere.. you have to be doing something... think think think....'
Harper was staring dead on at a moment she was just not prepared for. No. Proper stalking took way more time. Especially if you were not quite sure someone was safe. She had her arms all tightly pressed against her chest, looking just a bit spooked for a bit. Still breathing a bit deeply.
She deftly avoided the conversation for just a moment to focus on slipping her sandal back on her foot, getting it all hook and looped back up properly, squirming and getting herself situated on proper not-stinky sludgey ground. She looked down at her little toes and tapped her the ends of her shoes together, staring down at them for a moment as of to double check that her little piggies were still attached. No no, they had still somehow managed to survive for the most part. Honestly she felt less concerned by her toes and more the shoes she had them tucked away in. Cute and way too expensive light gold sandals with the adorable floral applique. One of the last splurge purchases she had made before realizing money was tight.
She looked back up at him, and realized she had been thinking a little too much about her pocket book and a little not enough about what she was going to say. She was a little taken back by his appearance, and honestly still wouldn't be quite sure any of this was really here if it wasn't for the memory of what sludgey Grimer felt like between her toes.
Eventually she stammered, 'uh'd' and 'um'd' herself into a proper sentence. "I came looking to see if you were real!"
The truth, it seemed.
"Is it true... um... " Normally she just wouldn't accuse anyone of such things, but it seemed like any real attempt at subtle was out the window. No. It was time for steeling yourself and being very assertive.
"Is it true that you're connected to those.. furry Pokemon falling from the sky?! I heard that you did it! With psychic powers! I heard that you were planning on attacking everyone with a bunch of poison Pokemon next!" She pointed dramatically to the evidence at her feet. Her story seemed to be checking out! This was some like... like... comic book villain, it seemed like! What had she gotten herself into this time!?

At first, he didn't say anything. Trying to absorb what she had to say and actually understand it. What was said was indeed a language he understood. Perfectly, in fact. But the combination left in blinking in mild confusion for some time. He looked at his arm, making sure he was in fact as real as he always thought he was, her statement really throwing him off this early. He looked over at a nearby Grimer, drinking day old milk out of a can like it was fine wine. Him, attacking everyone, the entire planet, with them? The Grimers that he was growing more and more certain have never seen a day of battle in their life.
Out of her accusations, that was the only one his mind could firmly grasp and understand and maybe find some logic behind. Although, her mentioning furry beasts from the sky caught hold of a different set of emotions. Maybe. Maybe his shelter really WASN'T in vain and people were starting to think about taking him serious? The summoning them and having psychic powers part aside, that might be a GOOD rumor of him to be spreading. Sort of.
Of course, this was a tiny girl of maybe ten if he was to stretch his imagination. Schoolyard rumors of spooky stories were not solid evidence of respect, no matter how much that would boost his ego. He sadly had to set the girl straight. If he wanted to be taken seriously, he couldn't let half truths go around about him. No matter how awesome they made him sound.
"Uh. That. That aihn't my thang. Ahny o that. Noht trahying to take ova nuttin and I sure dohn't have ahny psychic powers or cohntrol over them slay-koths that came from them wormholes. Noaw, aif I dihd, they wouhd leesten when I told them to be patient for their feehding. Where you heahring such thangs, miss?"

Harper scrunched her face up and her eyes grew wide. A neutral sort of funny fact that could mean lots of different things and emotions. Was she disgusted to see a Grimer drink gross smelly milk? Well yes… but that’s not why she was making the face. But seriously, gross… No.. She just kind of thought he talked pretty funny. Not in a bad way, or at least that’s not how she meant the thoughts at all. In fact, the way he talked of reminded her of her Mama… … She crossed her arms and studied him a little, pursing her lips a little and then placing her hand on her hip. No. It was business time. “It makes sense, though!” she said, maybe sounding just the teensiest bit defensive. “I figured it out myself! Pidgeotto said you were collecting them!” She made a confident, almost cocky grin, which was always the most “charming” expression on a kid. Not bratty looking at all. “Because you’re involved! What were the wormholes? How did you make them!?” There was still so much more she wanted to know from him. She had been trying to collect as much information about this whole incident. She was getting distracted though… she… was here for another reason too. A top secret “actually getting paid for something” reason…

LaCruex looked at the girl and did his best to not look at her like she was crazy. Information from a Pidgeotto? What kind of crazy is this girl? He brushed his hand through his brown green mess of a head of hair and tried to hold in an exasperated sigh. She was a little kid and getting a tongue lashing from somebody like him would just serve to scar her for life. He slowed his speech down, enunciating each word very carefully. "Ah deedn't cause no wormhohles. Yer "pidgeotto" forgot to realeeze for mohst o thehm, ah was no where near thehm. You'd haff ta ahsk the League abaout thehm, caushe they wouhld know more thahn a vagabouhnd in a swahmp, dontcha thahnk?" Like magic, a Slakoth appeared up from his back, playing with his hair. Well, looking for things to eat out of his hair more likely. It must be way late for their feeding. LaCruex looked at the girl as he scratched the Slakoth's vaguely moist face. His accent was starting to slip a little, not paying too much mind to it at this time. "If you wanna continue thish here conversation, you best be able to keehp uhp. Slakoths are real impatient when it cohmes to food." Harper Haile

Harper put her hands on her hips and just did not look amused at all. “I’m not going to ask the League! You’re probably working with them to help cover up stuff!” She made that up right on the spot, to be honest… but it sounded about right this moment. The wormhole thing was capital S “stressful” to her right now. Her site had been just blowing up about it. Everyone wanted to know the full story. Know everything about what was happening. People were scared. People were just trying to make sense of it. This guy was just a lead she could follow. He was acting funny. She had to know why. “I’m coming!” she said, making funny faces as she watched every step very close until she could get close and ghost his steps. She gave a look to the Slakoth that had showed up.. It was kind of cute. Kind of. It looked kind of funny too though. She made a silly face at it… but it didn’t seem particularly interested in her yet. “If you weren’t involved then how come you were there?”

LaCruex rolled his eyes and patted the Slakoth on his back, ignoring the girl. It was like she was purposefully ignoring what he JUST said. Or was trying to back track and act tougher then she actually was. Too bad for her that he was far too smart for such antics, despite popular rumors to the contrary. Spunky thing, he had to credit her that. He easily could have outpaced her and left her to figure her own way back to the train tracks that signify actual civilazation. He made sure she could keep up as he headed to the shelter for the Slakoths he built with his own two hands. Out of materials he is more and more sure he was ripped off on the prices for, but it wasn't bothering the Slakoths none so he wasn't going to go borrowing trouble. "Ya know. The Slakoths fell ahll over Veria. That would require quite a lot of man power, dohn't you think? The kihnd of mahn powah that cohmes wif lohts of muns. Noht lihke a man livving in a cabin outside of nowhere." He opened the door to the shed sized shelter and was greeted with a chorus of happy Slakoth noises. He opened a locked chest and pulled out a large bag of what looked like lettuce. It was actually a blend of leaves and grassy bits and things he made in advance, with help from that weird breeder kid he ran into. He turned to the girl and gestured the bag towards her. The Slakoths were slowing edging closer, hungry and chittering happily at the appearance of food. "You wahnna help feed them or ya good standing with yer gohb gapping?" Harper Haile
