YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah smiled softly at his warm gesture “I’ll be sure to keep that in mind if we do.” She didn’t go into the fact that both her and Malik and learned to become self reliant, except in regards to each other. Xavier may have meant well but it would take time for Sarah to see him as someone she could go to for support. But…then again there was a reassuring strength and positivity to him that put her at ease and open up. She had never shared that piece of her history with anyone else other than to Malik when she first met him. Looking up at the sky she smiled to herself not really feeling the desire to separate from him but also knowing that she had responsibilities to take care of at home; Malik was more than likely out at school, which meant she would be alone most of the evening until the wee hours of the night. Malik seemed to become more of the free wanderer between school and taking a more involved role in training. “I know it’s the opposite of Faraday but I still owe you for that breakfast burrito a while back. Carrrfor Town isn’t too long of a subway ride from here…Deanne’s goin’ to get antsy on me if I don’t feed her, her dinner soon.” MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

Xavier laughs a bit, “You don’t owe me a thing for that burrito. I didn’t expect anything from it then, and I don’t now either.” He sighs lightly, “but sure, that sounds fun. I don’t have any plans I have to wake up early for. The only real commitment I have is to try and find a spot to build my gym.” This was an interesting turn of events, she wanted to bring him home. But what did that mean? Going to a woman’s house for the first time was an important event, right? It didn’t seem to be that kind of mood though. Either way it was sure to be an interesting evening. Let’s just see how this plays out. “Yeah, we’d better get your munchlax home before it eats its way out of the pokeball. Lead on!” As they started walking Xavier pondered what her grocery bill looked like with a pokemon like that to feed. A worried expression flashes across his face when he imagines what a snorlax's grocery bill would look like. Keep it young for a while, Sarah.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah chuckled scratching the back of her head “Heh…yeah she’s prone to do that from time to time.” She tucked away the information about his gym for later; she would want to hear more but the trip down from the mines was not a simple stroll down the sidewalk and she was busy focusing on climbing down some of the rocks and compensating for the loose dirt and mild slides here and there. When she wasn’t interacting with her team Sarah was a woman of few words, not finding it necessary to fill the void with excess chatter. She was at ease though as they walked in silence down to the metro platform; soaking in the early night sounds, the young night sky, and the crisp residual winter air. “It’s so different out here in comparison to the desert,” she mused softly after a while. It didn’t require much response and they were nearing the metro platform at this point. Turning back to Chance she patted him gently as she recalled him back into his ball. The space where he left leaving a large hole and making her slender frame seem smaller than normal. Only Arceus knew what would happen to her if she lost her cornerstone. She was for the most part a loner except for her team and Malik was someone she had clung to for purposes of familial bond and the overwhelming need to protect that which was unwanted. She herself had become a product of the undesirable and after a long decade and a half of loss and rejection that she had buried away she was finding that her life was relatively empty. It wasn’t worthless or without purpose for sure but that emptiness had begun to reverberate somewhere inside the young woman which led to seeking companionship in the way she had initiated tonight. She had stuff to do at home but she didn’t want to be alone either and she was pleasantly surprised and relieved that he was in agreeance to it. As the metro came into the station they boarded without much incident and she situated herself so she could look out the window seeing the landscape pass them by. She could see that some dirt smeared her face and coated her wind loosened hair in the reflection of the glass. She didn’t understand why she looked so…small? tonight…perhaps it was just the weariness of the last…oh years catching up to her. She pulled her ponytail free letting it loosen enough for her to dust the dirt out and then pulled it back again. She watched him in the reflection of the glass, not really aware that she was watching so much as it was spacing. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS NOTES:|TAGS:|WORD COUNT:

Recalling his magmortar he boards the metro. “So why, if you work in Faraday, do you live all the way out here in the desert? Seems like a really long commute. Have you considered getting a small place in Faraday too? I had a pretty good apartment while I was looking for my house when I just moved to Veria.” Once they had taken their seats and the train started on its way he became intimately aware of how exhausted he was. He runs his hands over his face. Double heading like this was going to put him into an early grave for sure, but he loved every minute of it. His only regret is his lifestyle didn’t leave adequate time for sleep. He was either caring for his team, bringing plans together so his gym got constructed so he could do his job properly, or running over case files and dossiers to get himself caught up with what was going on in Veria. Removing his hands when he feels eyes on him. He turns and notices Sarah staring at him using his reflection from the window. He smiles warmly, though she seemed to be more spacing out than she was staring at him, “Hey, people might get the wrong idea if they catch you staring like that.” Looking up at the display, “It seems our stop is next. This is your town, I’ll follow.”

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ He drew her out of her tired mind by his light jesting and she found herself flushing as she looked over to him “Eh, sorry…guess the whirlwind is starting to catch up, ya know?” she chuckled nervously sitting back into the seat. His question from earlier about her choice of location running through her mind; the question hadn’t been discarded just merely brushed aside in the busy-ness of getting situated on the train. “I didn’t pick Carrefor for myself, honestly I find the barrenness of it to be too familiar, but there’s someone I care about that is at home amongst the desert sands and I would prefer for his environment to be the most familiar.” Shrugging lightly, she continued “Aside from work there isn’t much for me in Faraday…I’d be more alone there…at least I have someone to go home to out here."
The metro screeched to a stop and she stood cracking her neck before grabbing her bag “It’s a small town, most you’ll find is sand and desert air…it’s not too crowded though.”
When they got off the train and out of the station she released Chance again. It was their thing to walk together in the mornings and the evenings and she didn’t want to deviate from that. Chance nuzzled her affectionately enjoying the height difference and the ease of reaching his partner better. He then stayed in step beside her. She led him past a small store and she froze momentarily, smacking her forehead as if she had forgotten something. “I need to make a quick stop…I have a couple of egg’s set to hatch this weekend and I need to pick up some last-minute items”
She flung her bag onto Chance’s back digging around for the shopping list she had made earlier that day “damn…I can’t find it.” She cursed mildly under her breath. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

Xavier sighs, a very weary expression on his face, “Tell me about it. I’ve been burning the candle at both ends for a little while now. I’m about out of wax.” Perking up a bit, “Not much in Faraday. Man, there’s all sorts of stuff there.” Turning and giving her a meaningful look, “I guess I’m too much of a city boy though.” Looking around at the sand, “There is something to be said about the serene simplicity of a desert landscape though.” Walking beside Sarah as she wanders around the town, taking in how dry everything was here, dry and sandy. His attention was jerked back fully when Sarah mentioned she had eggs that “Eggs are hatching this weekend you say? Interesting. I didn’t know you had a hobby in breeding pokemon. What are you hatching?” Watching as she struggles to find her list and shortly after giving up he smiles, “You don’t need a list! This city boy knows exactly what you’ll need for this!” Snatching the cart from Sarah as he starts rolling it through the store. Throwing items in the cart as he goes, “Tell me what types of pokemon you’ll be hatching. That’ll help me know exactly what to get. Oven gloves for fire types and gas masks for certain poison types, you know? Oh, I hope I’m there when they hatch. It’s been so long since I’ve gotten to see a bunch of cute little baby pokemon. There’s always something so special about it.”

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah looked at him in bewildered bemusement as he took control. “Well city boy, teach this desert girl a thing or two about hatchlings then,” she said catching up to him. “I’ve never had a group of hatchlings before…just decided to start on a team to challenge gym’s with…um” she thought for a moment counting her fingers softly listing off various names “there is a Riolu, pancham, buneary, and stufful…I also have a torchic who needs some attention its fresh out of an egg I believe…”
She had to laugh at his energy, it was infectious and she found herself becoming less nervous and giddier. “I am really excited…I’ve never seen a hatching.” Her expression changed from excitement to a sinking realization “I am going to have 5 babies in my apartment…all weekend…and I have never done this before…I did not think this out very well.” She groaned rubbing her hands on her face. “Not even one of the eggs has hatched yet and I’m already failing miserably.” These was her nerves talking MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS NOTES:|TAGS:|WORD COUNT:

Looking at Sarah, Xavier sees her expression turn from excited wonder to one of overwhelming terror. This was totally understandable, she just booked herself a good week of work rearing 5 youngsters at once. “Bright side of this is pokemon become ‘mature’ quite quickly. They’ll only truly need your assistance for about 2-4 days tops.” Xavier picks up a small thing of barbells, “Your fighting types will appreciate those. Also, don’t underestimate that stufful. I’ve heard horror stories.” A sly grin spreads on Xavier’s face, “Also… I hope you have body armor… or at least some training pads. You can expect something to try and punch you. Fighting type like to train and want to show their ‘parents’ the results.” Anticipating an increased level of worry from Sarah, he follows quickly, “Don’t worry about it though. They’ll be smart enough to know you are not as… durable, as a pokemon would be.” After checking out at the register, “to be honest, it’s been a really long time since I’ve done something like this. My mother usually handled the new hatches while I helped her. This will be fun.”

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah took in his information trying to process all of it. “Uh yeah, I have training pads…” and that’s about the most words that came out of her as he continued. She grabbed a couple of frozen pizzas and some caffeinated soda. These items she did not place in the cart as he had gone ahead to the checkout before her. She was not able to politely decline him covering the expenses for her hatchlings and she made another mental note to, at the very least, make him pots of coffee on the regular at work. Fortunately, her apartment was right around the corner. She listened to him talk excitedly about the various things to pay attention to during a hatching. “So, your mom…I am assuming all of this knowledge is because she was a breeder?” she asked curiously, almost nervously; as if asking about somebody’s mother was a sacred topic. They walked through a brick 4-story complex with a worn courtyard with a fountain that had seen better days as she lead him to the last hallway and to the left. Her number was 121 and she dug for her keys opening the door. It opened into a cozy, beige living room past a breakfast bar (counter) to the left that separated the kitchen that opened immediately to the entrances left from the living room. There was a couch along the right wall, and entertainment center across from the coffee table in the center of the room and then a large sliding glass door out to the back patio/yard area. There was a hallway on the right just passed the kitchen and then a door to the left by the entertainment center. “It’s not much but come on in…I’ll get the oven going really quick…the eggs are in that room over there,” she said pointing to the door by the entertainment center. One could see the faint glow of incubator lights. She flipped the light on in the kitchen and Chance barked sticking his head in the door, his shoulders were too wide to comfortably get into the apartment now. She recalled Chance and then grabbed a series of bowls off the floor “make yourself comfortable, I’m going to take care of a couple of chores really quick…” she said opening the sliding glass door and flipping on a switch to illuminate the patio “Hey Saguaro,” her voice could be heard as she stepped out.
