5 Chrysanthemum Petals

[blaettertanz]

[The view when his Gear turns on is shaky because it's not being held by Chloe. In fact, judging by how he's stretched out under a tree, shirt half-unbuttoned and hair messily around his eyes, he has no idea it's even on. Whatever Pokemon is holding it moves closer when Chloe's mouth opens.]Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy

[Aya comes walking up, he was trying to give Chloe some privacy but since it seems that's broken...] They're clever.

Action

[blaettertanz]

[Actually having Aya nearby in person is nice, even if he'll never admit to that. Chloe likes having a teammate close if they ever need to do serious work.]

I noticed. She probably managed it with her claws.

[Slipping down to sit next to him, he watches the Pokemon. Of course, he has Cu with him. It seems like the Umbreon has decided he will never be cycled out like the others.]

More than likely.

Action

[blaettertanz]

I don't know why she did it in the first place -- I was enjoying having a calm life without Ken nearby to make things difficult.

[He likes Ken, but teasing is just what Chloe does, especially when he's not in the best of moods.]

What did I do to earn you coming over here in person?

Action

[secret_sword]

[He just shakes his head at the comment about Ken. He knows that's just Chloe being Chloe.]

Did you have to do something?

Action

[blaettertanz]

No, but it was my first guess; you haven't visited my camp until now even though you've been back in town for a while.

[Chloe sits up, brushing a bit of grass out of his hair.]

Action

[secret_sword]

I've been by a few times actually.

[Secretly. It's Aya.]

Action

[blaettertanz]

Do you watch me in my sleep?

Action

[secret_sword]

No.

Action

[blaettertanz]

Then when have you been here? I haven't noticed you.

Action

[secret_sword]

[He doesn't answer that and instead just closes his eyes for a time while he just listens to the music that never seems to go away.]

We're talking about moving onto the next town.

Action

[blaettertanz]

I'll go with if you do. There's not enough to do here and I should find work to save up for a few things.

Action

[secret_sword]

It would be better than trying to get us to support you.

Action

[blaettertanz]

I don't expect you to support me. I can find work.

Action

[secret_sword]

I know you can. [He looks up at the sky.]

Action

[blaettertanz]

[And now Christine, who'd been nearby, decides to try and hop into Aya's lap just because she can. Chloe smiles at her for a moment.]

What's interesting up there?
