Week 2.

[azumods]

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... CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 213 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!]

[...Oh, Zelda, honey...Arion's distracted by eating while Camilla sprays another spot, but the smile on her face becomes truly warm and pleased with that.]

...You have my thanks, Zelda. You truly are a sweet, darling girl...we're truly blessed by the gods to have you amongst us.

[hyruglyphics]

[ Her cheeks color once more, and she wonders - not for the first time - if part of why she wants to speak more with Camilla is to hear such naked praise. It does fill her with some odd emotion, but she nods all the same. ]

You overstate things but... thank you as well.

[anythingforyou]

I only say what I mean, dear! You're so, so worthy of such things. You're so modest...

[It gets Camilla's amusement, if nothing else.]

[hyruglyphics]

Only of what I prove myself for. [ Her actions define her... now. That is what she learned, that she had her own worth and that the power was her own. She smiles though, still blushing from the praise but... mmm. ]

[Okay, that's going to get a bit of a laugh from Camilla. God Zelda, stop being so adorable--]

Tell me, has your partner been showing any signs of reaction? I have to wonder if it's simply my own.

[hyruglyphics]

I... believe so. It has leaned in with interest when I have studied various plants I've foraged.

[ And right now he's been sort of looking with as close to a robot can show of interest at this whole situation. ]
