Mia tightened up a little as Jazz pulled her into a hug...initially her brain told her to punch him in the gut for the contact but...between Aela leaving, Nik getting that new place with Orion, and Vesta having some uncomfortable moments since her arm loss...well suffice to say she could really use this hug right now. Her arm wrapped around Jazz and held her tight for just a moment, but wouldn't let herself linger too long, pushing herself away and out of it, her eyes downcast as she ruffled the back of her head.
"Sorry...guess I needed that." She lightly pat Jazz's shoulder before turning on her heels and walking for the chair she'd sat in a moment ago. "Look I dunno why you think this thing is so bad...honestly from that picture you showed me it seems to be doing Luke more good than harm but...I'll take your word on it okay?"

Jazz could feel Mia tense initially and would've let go if it was really that uncomfortable for her. Fortunately, that didn't seem to be the case as he felt the arm around him. It didn't last long, but Jazz hadn't expected it to either. He was glad that he could help at least a little though, even if it had come after that quip about him deciding to eat the Chroma cookie. The apology had Jazz quirking an eyebrow as a soft scoff escaped from him. "C'mon, hun. Hugs 'r free, ya know that~," Jazz mused, smirking a bit, "I'm here fer ya too ya know, jis say the word," he continued warmly before Mia brought up Luke and the Nihilego again. Sighing, Jazz shook his head at the comment, rubbing the back of his head. "Maybe nawt fer him... thanks for trusting me," Jazz replied, sitting back on the couch, "To be honest, 's mostly me that has a problem with it. 's nawt a secret but... I love Luke. I have fer a long a long time. Short version? 'e said he liked me back, then regretted it, 'n now 'm all sorts of fucked up. Then there's the Nihilego. 'ow would you feel knowing the guy 'r gal you liked was fused with this thing?"he explained briefly, running his fingers through his hair when he finished. "Sorry, moving on. Ya don't need my crud on top of this,"Jazz murmured, "Ya need 'nything from me?"

Twirling to fall back into her seat with a faint smile, hooking her fingers around the neck of her bottle to take a sip in the same motion and taking said sip as she sat down, lifting her eyes back up to Jazz as he talked about Luke. Huh. So thats why he was so pissy about all of this. Really she didn't have much frame of referance as to why the pokemon...was it even a pokemon? Whatever the case she had no real frame of referance for why it was so bad, but she tried not to push things, just nodding along and letting out a little chuckle as she said she was fucked up cause of it all.
"Well I dunno about the Nihilego crap, but I do know i, lesbian queen of Liggs, drunkenly admitted I love Nikolai at his birthday." She took another sip of her beer, but paused lowering her drink. "Oh er...the ex fairy gym leader? Dunno if you know him...yeah thats er...thats a thing." She shrugged a little, trying to push past that awkward admittance but she trusted Jazz not to spread the info unnecessarily. "Er...dunno what you can do for me though...bitch at the league so they make my prosthetic faster?"

Jazz's eyes grew a bit when she heard that Mia loved Nik before smirking. Yeah, he kind of knew that already but well, he could still feign surprise pretty well. Still, it was really nice to be trusted with that sort of thing. "Hey, the heart wants what the heart wants,"Jazz replied, smirking a bit before shrugging, "I mean, I think it's great that he makes you happy. If you're happy, that's all that matters, yunno?" he continued, trying his best to be reassuring. "Thanks though, for trusting me with that. And just, in general. You mean a lot to me too, you know that Mia? I mean, you were my first friend when I moved to Veria for the first time. Liggs is still my favorite place thanks to you. And hey, don't tell me the blonde bombshell is gonna slow down now jis cuz yer a little lopsided now,"Jazz said, smirking a bit at the attempt to joke. Heh, not his best strong suit but well, he was trying. The next thing Mia requested earned a soft snicker from Jazz. Well, he could do that very well. Or... hmmm, maybe it'd be better to make an arm instead? One that was custom and would give Mia whatever she wanted or needed from it. It would have to be strong. Yes, especially with Mia's strength. He could think about that later though. "I'll do my best~," Jazz mused, his voice carrying a sing song quality to it before he stood and walked over to Mia, offering a hand up should she need it, "For now, why don't we have that rematch hmm? Pretty sure I can still kick yer ass~. 'r are ya too afraid to try?" Please work. Goading Mia was hardly advisable but Jazz thought it would be something Normal that was really needed right now.

Mia couldn't help but chuckle, taking another sip of her drink and nodding lightly. "True that...i mean even if i could have seen myself falling in love with a guy, it was not Nik of all people that I was gonna picture." She didn't mean to bash the guy but...well she was sure if Jazz had seen them when Mia first met him, he'd know what she was talking about.
At the mention of them being friends...Mia was oddly touched. She knew they'd been good pals as well as...well fuckbuddies, but it was good to hear that wasn't all they were from Jazz too. She smiled a little more genuinely, smirking as she heard Liggs was her favorite place too. "Hey I hope thats the underground you're talking about. Don't want Damian's half getting any of the credit!~"
Another sip and Jazz was standing infront of her goading her on like that, mia letting our a light snort as she placed her bottle down on the floor, clasping Jazz's hand firmly and hoisting herself up to her feet, nodding her head to the door separating her gym from the home section of her abode. "Get your ass in there so I can kick it. I could literally take you with one arm behind my back, and now I have to!~"

Jazz just smirked when Mia agreed with him. He knew first hand that there wasn't often a rhyme or reason why the heart led them to love someone. Though the quip about not letting Damian have any credit had him laughing. "Naw, as much as I like tech 'n stuff, underground 's far better~," Jazz mused before walking over to Mia. Thankfully it seemed some things never changed. Goading Mia into sparring with him worked like a charm, it always had and probably always would. "Riight, 'n if you can't?"Jazz teased, letting go of Mia's hand as soon as he'd helped pull her up. Regardless of what Mia said, Jazz would walk towards the gym's door. Kovu decided now was the best time to bring back the lost bottle opener, placing it on the counter for the time being. He was tall enough to reach it of course and it could always be cleaned later. Huh? Where had everyone go-... right, still here just getting ready to fight again huh? A playful growl escaped him as the Luxray bounded after Jazz and Mia, rubbing against the latter briefly before looking at Jazz eagerly, eliciting a soft snort from him. "Wanna make this interesting? Seems Kovu wants to fight too. Course if ya dun think yer up fer battlin too, 's cool. If yer up fer it, jis a one on one match. 'n then we can see if I kin kick yer ass~," Jazz asked, opening the door to the gym and gesturing for Mia to enter first, "Lady's first~."

With a smirk on her lips as the two of them made their way into the gym section of the building, Mia was honestly still a bit rough from her time in the hospital, and even if she wouldn't tap out, this shit was gonna hurt and in the back of her head she knew it. On the other hand, she was so eager to get back to a sense of normalcy that a fight sounded like just what she needed, winding up her good arm before stretching it across her chest, able to pull on it with her stump arm to better stretch her shoulder. As the Luxray eased its way after them, the blonde gave a light chuckle and softly nodded along.
"Aye, I don't mind, lemme just go fetch someone to fight 'em!~" Already much more chipper than when Jazz had first walked in, Mia briefly walked back into her home and called out for Brittney. The female lopunny was the only female pokemon Mia had, and as such she'd been feeling a bit left out of the boys club...to the point she'd practically tortured Mia for leaving her out. The lopunny hopped eagerly into the ring, pumping her fists. Notably she was wearing a pink tank top and shorts, her desire to wear clothes always acting as something that mildly embaressed Mia in a way she couldn't describe. "How's this sparky? Good enough opponent for ya?"

Jazz grinned when it seemed Mia was already back to her old self. When the Lopunny was called over, Jazz smirked a little. Yeah, that would be a good battle against Kovu, even if the Luxray looked a little skeptical. What was with those clothes? Shaking his head, Jazz ruffled Kovu's fur, "C'mon, you'll do great~," he commented, heading back into the fighting area. Hmm, maybe he should go easy on Mia this time around. Or he could ask, maybe set down some rules? Something like that would be good. "So, what're the rules for this? 'r doya wanna set down any rules,"Jazz asked, stretching a bit as he spoke. It had been a while since he'd sparred with anyone after all so it wouldn't hurt. Kovu meanwhile had nodded at the question posed to him and darted to the arena, crouching in a clearly battle ready stance, tail swishing back and forth. He was ready and very much determined to win this fight.

Mia made sure pokemon and humans were on the right sides of the field before pushing her heel down against the panel that would elevate the human side of the field a little more than the pokemon, the shock absorbers ready to absorb any attacks like an earthquake, or just a generally heavy ground attack of some sort. Mia had no idea Jazz was thinking about going easy, but despite some of her injuries still healing, she was in no way of the same mindset.
"General gym rules feel fine. Single battle, and you can give up whenever you want. The moment the pokemon battle ends, it's game over." She shifted her eyes over to lopunny. She couldn't use the pokemon in most gym battles, and she seemed glad to finally be getting a chance to show her stuff. Meanwhile Mia herself was getting into a fighting position, careful to put her right side forward so her left had more momentum in it's swings. Usually she'd give her right arm more power, but...well she didn't exactly have it to GIVE power anymore.
"Ready when you are...!"
The Lopunny nodded similarly, lowering her stance, ready to jump about the field at a moment's notice.

Jazz jolted a little when the field moved up away from the Pokemon. Woah. He didn't know that was a thing? That was so cool? Lowering his fists for the time being, Jazz walked over to the edge of the platform to see exactly was making it work. Ok, maaaybe he was geeking out a little too much but this was his first time actually fighting Mia in her gym like this. "This is sweet! I guess I never gotta look at yer hydrolics before. Right. Sorry, I'll geek out later, promise," Jazz smirked a bit, walking back to the center of the ring, "Right after I kick yer ass~."Listening to the gym rules as Mia gave 'em, Jazz nodded and got into a ready position. Well, even if this wasn't a real gym battle, it would be nice to see exactly what Mia could do. Heh, if he could pull off making that arm it would definitely require a rematch too. Just to test it out and all. Definitely not an excuse to see it in action, nope. Well, whatever the case, Jazz was ready and when Mia said that she was ready, charged forward. In this fight, his speed would be the advantage, and he knew it. Rather than let Mia have the upper hand, he feinted a punch to the left only to lower his form at the last second to sweep a leg under her feet. Kovu meanwhile, roared a battle cry and used Electric Terrain. He would watch the way the Lopunny lowered her stance before charging forward with a Thunder Fang.

Mia could see Jazz coming in but without one of her arms to fight with, it took a lot longer for her to think of a counter plan. She could see the feint, but the time it took her to think of how to fight back was almost a good thing as it gave her enough time to realize it was a false attack, jumping up over the low-sweep more instinctually. Low kicks tended to be her weakpoint so the fact she managed to dodge the opening sweep made her feel confident, stepping into Jazz's stance and trying to land a strong uppercut, though with it being her left arm her aim may not have been the best.
As for Brittney, while she didn't have the disadvantage of arm loss she wasn't all that experienced herself, the bite was narrowly avoided but she was left on the back foot easily, and the force with which the opposing pokemon snapped down was more than intimidating. Rearing back, she launched herself forward again, first with a drain punch, before spinning rapidly into an iron tail.

Jazz was impressed that Mia was still able to dodge the kick even after the previous feint. Perhaps he had been just a little too cocky starting out in this fight heh... Well, the dodge distracted him enough that he didn't see the punch until it was too late to dodge it completely. The uppercut had him staggering backwards, hissing briefly before shaking his head. Owwww, fuck... ok, that hurt a heck of a lot more than he thought it would. Even if he'd managed to not take the full force of the hit, it hadn't helped a whole lot. It would take him a few moments to recover before Jazz once again surged forward. Speed was on his side after all and he planned to take full advantage of it. The punch had hurt, but not enough to make him give up, certainly enough to make him second guess going easy this time around though. Jazz would bounce back and forth a few times before throwing a couple quick jabs at Mia, ready for anything she might throw back. At this point, Jazz knew he certainly couldn't afford to be hit many times and thus was constantly moving, ready to dodge the next punch. When Brittney dodged the bite, Kovu skidded to a stop and started sparking with electricity. He could retaliate quickly enough but it seemed the Lopunny was faster than he was. Using Magnet Rise, he managed to narrowly avoid the Drain Punch before growling a little at the Iron Tail. Of course, that meant the Lopunny had actually hit him which would work to his benefit. Discharge would be used next followed by another Thunder Fang. Even if his opponent was a girl, there was no way Kovu was going to go easy on her.
