Week 2.
WEEK 2. The new week begins with new surroundings. The city you've been growing accustomed to over the past week is now well behind you as you set out on your journey proper; the terrain still seems rocky and steep here as you move downhill and to the south, dotted here and there with small ponds to the east and rocky outcroppings that you can climb on to the west. There are also large expanses of tall grass here, and the entire route is flanked with tall trees leading off into the forest a short ways. You're more than welcome to explore; just don't stray too far from the group - you wouldn't want to be left behind out here, for any reason. Wild Pokémon are abundant here, as anyone venturing into the tall grass will discover; they aren't inclined to attack you, however, simply watching with dull, dead eyes as you stumble through the area they've come to call home. The trip is difficult, and it's a lot of walking, but it's not unmanageable; fortunately enough, the route you're on should lead you directly to Valor Lakefront, assuming there are no complications along the way. From Thursday and beyond, the route takes a sharp turn west; in front of you lies what's clearly the ocean, large rocks jutting out just offshore tempering the waves. It's safe to go in the water if you so choose - assuming you can swim, that is - and the forested terrain has given way to a large beach with patches of tall grass here and there. Interestingly, there's a house located on the beach; whether it's inhabited or not is difficult to tell. Of course, exploring slightly north of the beach will reveal a path. Maybe it leads somewhere important... POKEMON AVAILABLE: NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week two of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend. Don't forget that a write-up is due next weekend!] |

[Arion does seem to give a look over to Ignis when he steps over, but doesn't do much else. There is definitely still a low growling coming from him, but it seems less directed at Ignis and more at just. Everything.]
I don't quite fathom how, but...it's certainly better than the alternative. Of them existing, and nothing else.

[And quite frankly, she does mean that. She's going to have to redouble her training efforts, it seems.]
...I need to find a way to heal him, then, that doesn't make him snap at anyone. Or perhaps simply carry him about again so he doesn't get hurt at all...

[But...hm, this was a bit of a quandary.]
Perhaps a distraction would work; occupy him with a berry or something similar while you're healing him? As for the larger problem of what's causing the bruises in the first place, consider teaching him to follow you by sound. He'll learn where to walk safely, as you'll have already done it just ahead of him.

I believe I can do that. Both of those things, as a matter of fact--I had simply taken to holding him beforehand, but now that we're here...I believe I should have no trouble doing such a thing.
[As a matter of fact, she's gonna go digging through her pack right now to see what sort of berries she has on hand.]
...You have my humblest gratitude for your calm advisory, Ignis. If not my apologies for needing such a thing.

Ah, I suppose that comes with the territory of being a hunter? Where one missed step could mean a ghastly end.

I think he'll be able to adapt just fine, provided you've the patience to guide him along until he's a bit lighter on his feet.

[There's definitely the sound of some adjustment being made, and if the bit of sound from Arion is any indication, it seems like she's scooped him up. He's at least a little more amendable, for now.]
I want to ensure that my sweet partner prospers, after all. I'll have to see if I can find a nice, big stick...something I could help train him to respond to the taps of.

[A small 'hmm' escapes Camilla.]
Though, I do wonder...if such things would still be made, with this world the way it is. It was hard enough to find anything relating to a hobby here...
