{MISSION DETAILS} Mission name: In search of a bandit Participants: Niso, Serafeyna Carroll Catching?: no Spawning: 3 challenges within the ruins. These can be a trap that was set off and must be avoided, or a puzzle that must be completed to progress. Mission details: Having been searching for information on the odd Pokemon he battled in the nobles penthouse, Niso finally gets a lead through one of Marcie's contacts. Wanting to get his dragon back from the weird little Pokemon and learn more of it's potential, Niso finds and ventures through some old ruins in the region's tunnel systems. At the end, he will receive detailed information on the legendary through the ruins murals and written texts, as well as a rare item to attract, or track the legendary. Reward: Niso will receive - information on the legendary Hoopa, as well as an item that will help track, or attract the legendary (mod's choice) Sera receives - Firium Z (Original setting is Alterna but majority of mission takes place in Tunnels) This is newNiso looked over his reflection in Sera's room, given he didn't have one in his own room...honestly he should probably think about putting more stuff in there cause right now it was just a cubic space with a Hammoch in it more so than a roo-Priorities brain. Priorities. Having gotten back from the contest and taken a nap on the floor of his own room, Niso woke up feeling surprisingly stiff and sore. Thinking little of it at the time he'd taken a shower, as was usual after a little outing to wash out a mixture of rubble-dust, his own blood, and the blood of whoever made him spill his own, but as the dried brown stains on his body faded away he'd started to notice the bruises and light cuts still present on his body. He was glad Sera wasn't home from the contest herself yet cause he'd practically screamed at the mere concept that he wasn't healing. Now infront of Sera's mirror with a towel wrapped around his waist, the black eye he was developing, the cuts across his cheek from some hard punches, and the general bruises littering his torso were all far more noticeable, and seemed to just be getting worse rather than better as they developed...at least the dark color technically meant they were healing right? Or was that just pseudo science people told themselves to feel better? Whatever the case, he moved over to Sera's makeup supplies, not wanting to mess with her stuff too much but it was the nearest thing he could think of to test. Grabbing an eyeliner pencil that thankfully still had a sharper tip, without even flinching (though he did grit his teeth), he stabbed himself in the base of his palm, hissing a little at the shot of pain before pulling it away...o-okay...the small black spark against his skin told him he was still immortal, and the tiny puncture he'd made in the skin healed up pretty sharply...heh. Sharply. Brain what did we just talk about.
『Okay...so I can still heal but these wounds aren't healing...that's...not a bad sign. Nope. Not horrifically terrifying...HEY BRUCE! GET LUCARIO!』The wall badger growled softly before climbing out of his little hole halfway up the stairs, Niso meanwhile threw on a loose shirt he'd left beside Sera's bed a few nights ago, hissing a little just from the way he had to lift his arms and stretch his chest and stomache muscles to get dressed. Prolonged pain how he did not miss you. Before long he had some shorts too, looking a little disheveled as if they huge black eye and cuts didn't already make him look borderline homeless. Lucario was waiting for him in the livingroom, and he waved off the black and red Aura Pokemon as he passed through to the kitchen.
『Gimme a sec to find the first aid kit』Both Bruce and the Lucario took in the injuries their trainer sported, exchanging confused looks with one another before watching Niso slowly grow frustrated with the search some medical supplies, pulling out an entire drawer at one point and emptying it...right. He put them in the back cupboard cause he never needed them anymore unless Sera got hurt, and she was a lot less prone to self endangerment than he was. Dragging the small back out of the kitchem, as well as a few ice packs, he plopped himself on the couch and started pulling apart some medical tape and bandages, taping himself up fairly well, temporarily taping a pack or two to his torso while holding a third against his eye and cheek, eyes finally meeting the confused Lucario. 『How's my Aura looking? Horrific as usual?』There was a faint nervousness in the question, and he was glad to get a slow nod from the Lucario, letting out a low sigh and nodding along. He thought so...then why was he not healing? 『Thanks...just...just keep an eye on it for me?』 Still sounding a little nervous, the Lucario didn't see much reason to deny the request, sitting cross legged on one of the chairs as Bruce slinked off back to his hole in the wall, glancing back at Niso before he rounded the corner...seems the immortal wasn't so invulnerable afterall... Niso himself fell back onto the couch, resting a little...he felt a lot more tired and sore than he had for a long time, but a small, terrified part of him he wouldn't let show refused to fall asleep right now. Almost as if he thought 'hey. Maybe if I stay awake long enough I'll start healing.'. (It's up to SG if Sera comes home to him like this, or the next day after he fell asleep on the couch)

Sera... should probably not be in as good a mood as she was. It had certainly been an interesting afternoon, with some very high tension in more ways than one, but now? She'd had fun and come only just shy of placing even with a sillier routine in the showcase, she'd earned a new ally in her efforts to bring light into Niso's life, she'd had a... very satisfying experience with said ally, and she was almost back home where she could spend the rest of the evening with her adorable boyfriend. What wasn't to love?
Walking in the front door, she called, "Niso, sweetie~?" Was he in her--
Sera's bag hit the floor with a thud as breath left her. "What happened!?" sputtered out of her mouth before the color drained from her face as she realized she probably already knew. But... how??? Hands couldn't decide whether to cover her mouth or reach out for him as she moved over to the couch.

Niso's initial reaction to Sera coming home was, after a very brief sense of joy, to hide. A part of him didn't want her to see him wounded given she barely liked seeing it even when there was no chance of it being permanent. As he tried to rise from the couch however there was a hiss of pain as he aggrovated a bruised muscle around his waist, falling back into the couch and grabbing his stomache. Pain wasn't foreign to him, he still got it afterall, the issue was he just didn't tend to have consequences for pushing through it...he knew well enough if he tried to push through pain now it'd just make things worse.
『H-hey Sera...』Wincing a little, his blackened eye not fully opening, clearly in a little bit of pain just from putting on a smile even, Niso shifted himself a little, trying to pull off a casual pose with an arm draped over the back of the couch, just setting off his muscles again but managing to push through with little more than a wince. 『Oh don't mind this...nothing to freak out about~』What had he been doing for the past few hours again? Oh yeah... 『You look-...』Honestly...just from the color leaving her face alone, she looked terrible. It was still 'Sera' but that usually optimistic face she held even when things were rough just vanished, and knowing she was like that because of him- 『Hey hey hey look I'm fiiiIIINE!』 He grit his teeth and hissed, an attempt to stand up just making him fall forward into the couch. Even with his tolerance for pain he was not used to his body reacting like this anymore.

"Sweetie stop," Sera almost barked, reaching out to catch him as he fell. Why was this happening? Was she dreaming? Was this a nightmare?
Her chest throbbed so much she barely noticed the touch of fuzzy ache mimicking his wounds. "Pretending you're not hurt isn't going to make this any better, you need--" Well, at least he was patched up... "You need to rest..." she murmured more quietly, then pulled him close so they could sit together, so she could stroke his hair. Tears welled in her eyes, and her efforts to hold them back... "I am..." ...did not last very long. "So sorry..."

Niso grit his teeth a little as he shifted back to leaning back into the couch, getting used to the pain little by little, but the fact his body just wasn't reacting perfectly to his commands was reminding him of the state he was in more than the pain itself. Finding Sera's teary eyes, Niso's feigned cheerfullness quickly began to falter...it was a little hard to force happiness at all right now, but seeing Sera's face just broke the camel's back for him, and the happy face he was trying to wear faded into worry. 『H-hey...Sera what are you sorry for? T-this is just silly old me ya know? Always getting into danger and stuff? Just...hasn't healed this time?』 He still had no clue as to why, but his focus was more on Sera than himself. What on earth did she have to be sorry for??? 『You have nothing to be sorry for. This is just what happens...LOOK!~』Getting oddly excited despite what he was about to do, Niso's face briefly stretched and, with a loud whine, he bit immensely hard on his own tongue. Without a sense of danger about it even now it was easy enough to muster the strength to cause an injury with his own teeth. Sure, Sera hated to see him hurt himself, but he needed to prove a point, opening his mouth and pointing. There wasn't blood, but the small black sparks around his tongue made it clear he'd healed from something. 『I'm still gonna heal! This is just...some weird fluke? I-I dunno...the guy who did this comes from a pretty rich family I think? Maybe they just used some weird thing to make it permanent...its really okay, I'll be fine, honestly...』He didn't know that of course, a small part of him was still screaming not to give into the situation and just push through till his immortality finally kicked in somehow. But...he couldn't let Sera think this was a danger. He just couldn't. Especially if she thought she had to be sorry for something....

Sera wasn't very comforted, but as Niso proved his point, she both recoiled in momentary disgust and felt an odd sense of relief. ....Fuck. She hadn't even considered until just now the idea that his 'immortality' hadn't lasted as long as intended, that he'd just burned through it so fast. Realizing now that this wasn't the case, even if she hadn't suspected it before knowing that, the relief factor grew at a rapid pace, and she placed a hand over her heart as she tried to breathe steadily.
His words to follow all but confirmed this was Lucien, though, and... something to make it permanent...
'I used my aura and beat the shit out of him...'
Was that it...? "His aura..." she murmured aloud. "Is it... because of his aura...?"

Niso was glad to see that relief, even if it had to follow a moment of disgust. He knew some things he did could still creep Sera out, but at least it came with that relief to follow it. Feeling much better from that alone, his expression only dipped when Sera seemed to be lost in thought...his aura...huh he...he had been an aura user hadn't he...or maybe he was just SEEING his aura by accident? He took a fair few blows to the head, it was possible he just switched his vision on without realizing... 『I...yeah...maybe...his arms did seem to glow green or...maybe I was seeing things...』 He shook his head and tried to focus his foggy memory. 『Something was going on with his aura, even if he didn't realize it...heh...maybe that was it...』He would have to ask the guy mentoring him in aura about that sometime...maybe he could work up a defense to it...? He felt himself leaning into Sera a little, enjoying the moment of comfort before something clicked in his head, tilting his head back slowly and looking up into Sera's eyes from her shoulder. 『...How did you know he used aura...?』

Her poor baby... She held Niso as he leaned against her, scratching gently through his hair and trying to comfort him... until that question stopped her cold. She could practically feel Lucien's hands still on her, and her brain raced for any way to avoid owning up to everything this afternoon, until thankfully she remembered.
"Apparently someone asked him to tell me you liked my performance..." she half-mumbled. "I've met him at several contests in the past, and he had seen stains of your aura on my clothes before. That's why I started being more careful about what I wear going out and stuff." She sighed slowly. "So it wasn't hard for him to piece together, and he confronted me about his run-in with you and--..." She pursed her lips and shook her head. "The good news is... it sounds like he's willing to give you a chance to change."

His curiosity keeping him silent as he listened to Sera explain, Niso's expression dipped a little as he realized he may have given Sera away there. He'd meant to be vague and ended up letting on to how direct their connection was, resting into her but not looking her in the eye, mumbling a light 『Sorry...』 Under his breath as his eyes turned off to the side. He seemed to have a habit of royally screwing things up for Sera, whther ir was with Nik, or now Lucien.... Sure maybe he didn't care for Nik and Lucien...well he was a Benoit, but he never wanted to have Sera suffering the consequences of his ludicrous actions. Still Sera went on though, and his expression lit back up a little. Lucien seemed to have said as much, but that was fairly more reassuring...but wait if that was the good news... Niso shifted about, wincing a little but not enough to produce any sounds or real worry, sitting on his hands and knees as he shifted to meet Sera on eye level. 『He isn't mad at you is he? I mean...he's a Benoit but if he's you're friend...』Niso's eyes showed more worry than anything. He hadn't know Sera was friends with Lucien but if he had he may have swung even less punches back at him.

Why... did his face... have to be so cute? That precious look, those adorable loving eyes, made her stomach turn so much more than it already was. She couldn't ever remember feeling so deeply as if she'd betrayed someone.
Shoving those feelings down, she shook her head slowly. "N...no..." Sera this was supposed to be a good thing, stop looking so glum about it. "He didn't get mad at me the way Nik did or anything." Didn't cut me off the way Nik did... :"3 Why did her stomach have to feel so sick. "We had a long talk, and I told him how hard you've been trying and how much you mean to me and..." Sera no don't start crying.

Was she...getting upset? She wasn't just lying to him to keep him from feeling guilty was she? No...no she knew how much he preferred honesty, at least when it didn't get him in serious trouble. The odd lie here or there to keep himself from going to jail could never hurt too much afterall. All the same she looked like she was tearing up and Niso's worry only grew, crawling towards her and wrapping his arms around her, pulling her face into his shoulder. 『Heeeey...He's still your friend right? Those best be happy tears...』He let out a light snicker as he ran his fingers through her hair, just trying to hold her for a little bit of reassurance and keeping her close. 『Not gonna lie, I'm not exaaaaaactly in a position to go kick his butt if he did hurt you...but I'll give it a shot~』 As if to just emphasize he was joking and to try and get a giggle, he blew a raspberry into the nape of her neck.

Oh... His gentle petting felt so nice and she felt like she didn't deserve it and it was such a weird mix of comfort and making it worse... She almost wanted to whimper but that would be too--
Sera paused for a moment as she processed exactly what Niso just said, and was just starting to sputter-laugh a bit when he went for her neck, eliciting a far louder shriek-giggle instead. "You dork!" She clung to him tightly and buried her face against him, but then slowly sighed as she settled down again.
"Still, I'm... really sorry someone I call a friend did this to you. I don't like seeing you hurt." Nothing there was a lie; it just might not have admitted everything. "Do..." She looked up and touched his face gently. "Do you want me to try to help with anything or... Anything that might make you feel better? Dinner or a back rub or anything?"

Giggling along as Sera shoved her face back into him, he winced a little as it seemed to aggravate a bruise, be it internal or otherwise, but seeing Sera giggling and being happy, how could he focus on pain when that was the reward?~ 『Oof~ Well glad to see your giggle box is still working~』Grinning down at her, he continued to stroke her hair even as she talked through his shirt, just letting out a content little sigh through his nose...even if his body was aching he just felt good having this to come home to...even if he didn't TECHNICALLY come home to it... 『Help with anything...huh...』 Tipping his head back, he thought of something he'd been meaning to ask Sera for a while anyway. He'd found a potential lead on that weird portal Pokemon but...nah. Right now he was sore and even his brain was kinda tired. 『Well...you can maybe come on a little trip with me if something I'm looking into pans out but for nooooow...』 Tipping his head to one side, he smirked and gazed softly down at Sera, which maybe didn't come off as cute as he was picturing with the half shit black eye. 『I say you enjoy some take out with me....maaaybe...』 He reached back, patting himself, making sure he wasn't bruised anywhere on his back. 『Yeah I could enjoy a little back rub...but er...first...』
He gave a cheeky smirk as he tapped his most bruised cheek, not realizing this may not be as cute while he was GENUINELY injured. 『Kiss the booboo better?』

A trip? "Yeah, sure." Was this something she'd heard about in passing already or something he'd started looking at since he got home today? Well, she'd find out soon enough. She was happy to help with whatever else-- But for nooow... Hm??
... She lightly snorted and faded into a small giggle at his request. "I'll have to see what I can do~" she teased, then kissed that cheek, then his other, then showered him in kisses all over, as much as she could without agitating any wounds too directly~
Some time later, Sera would find herself curled up on the couch with Niso again, ready to hear the full details of the little trip he had planned.

Giggling as he enjoyed the showering kisses, Niso looked forward to a quiet but enjoyable evening with Sera, the two of them likely having ordered and eaten their takeout, and Niso with a full stomach and a nicely rubbed back just generally enjoying a bit of quiet cuddling, stroking a hand repeatedly through Sera's hair and enjoying her warmth until his earlier mention of a trip came to mind. 『So er...about that trip...』 He began, still gently petting her both out of habit and comfort at this point in the evening. He was weirdly worried to mention this, the last time they'd seen Hoopa afterall things...well suffice to say they hadn't gone to plan, and he felt Sera mightn't be too eager to see him start hunting that thing down. As much as Karlak was a motivating factor to him, he worried Sera may see it as...an 'example' of what could happen. All the same he took a slow breath, and explained. 『A contact through Marcie helped me find some ruins relating to that Pokemon with the portal rings so...I was thinking of going to check them out. See if...see if I can't find something to help me track down it and...maybe Karlak if I'm lucky?』 He gave a half shrug, feeling a tad stupid that he still thought the dragon could be found if he hadn't flown his way back already. 『Could always use someone's lovely company to cheer me up incase it ends up being a wasted trip..』He briefly considered adding 'who knows what I'd do' to try and tempt her more into joining him, but not only was that a shitty manipulative thing to do to her...he knew what he'd do. He might destroy some useless ruins and then mope for a bit. Karlak was a shitty self-important bastard of a dragon, but he was his dragon and...he was missing him.
