Marie, 7th after Team Red leaves

[majorcrotchgrab]

Raikov made his way to Marie's room, hoping to get the squirtle's side of the story. He also wanted to apologize, incase it was Volgin that started the fight... God, he hoped not.

When he arrived, he paced back and forth for a bit, trying to prep himself. The Red Team pokemon were still... intimidating. The Russian finally mustered the courage to knock on the door.

[punchwaves]

The door had been open just a crack. From behind it, Marie was rather confused. Other than his team, who would want to visit him?

"Wh... What?"

Clearly, this is how excellent people answer the door.

[majorcrotchgrab]

It totally was. Raikov peeped his head in.

"... May I come in?"

[punchtheocean]

It was... uh. That guy. Marie recalled he didn't particularly like that guy.

"Whatever."

Volgin, the 8th

Mac had actually begun to move around. The hospital staff said that Mac was getting stronger pretty fast. His wounds were closing up well, and his strength was returning. But when it came to when he would be 100%, that was still TBA. He walked passed Volgin's room when he saw...uh.

Okay, Mac just stood there for a bit. Hospital gown in all.

pretending he was totally here earlier i suck

For the past few days, Vinnie had been more or less living in the PokeCentre. He had his own annual check ups to go through, along with ghosting about Marie's room when he was asleep, but in truth, he was scared to leave at all. He'd never felt so scared in his whole life - for Marie, and... well, of himself.

There was a sinking, cold feeling in his gut that told him that if he ran into Volgin right now, he was going to kill the man, or die trying. Most likely the latter.

So the Venusaur was going to stay here. It wasn't like he ever needed to leave to eat or anything. The lack of proper sunlight was making him more and more tired by the day. Yeah, he'd skipped a lot of sessions with Max too, and he didn't even care. Nothing mattered anymore.

Vinnie sat in his chair, saying nothing, staring at nothing.

He just needed his little brother to get better.

From his cot, Marie watched his big brother with sleepy eyes. Vinnie wasn't looking back, but the Squirtle preferred that anyway. Whenever they were alone, Marie liked the silence and he liked when Vinnie didn't look at him, so that he could watch him without feeling self-conscious.

He looked tired. Well, Marie knew he was tired. He wasn't getting the sunlight he needed, and he convinced himself that he probably wasn't sleeping very well. For that, Marie almost felt guilty. Almost. It wasn't his fault, he told himself.

For a second, he considered saying something. But that would break the wonderful silence. Looking at his brother was a much more appealing idea than saying anything.

nnngh stalemate

[punchtheflowers]

Yeah, silence. That thing. It was pretty good, huh. Well you're in luck, because Vinnie is continuing to not say anything, even after he's noticed Marie stirring.

He certainly started smelling stronger when the Squirtle opened his eyes, but he didn't do much else other than frown a bit more.

gimme the crown cuz i'm the queen of small tags

[punchtheocean]

The stronger scent let Marie know that Vinnie was aware of his eyes on him. Maybe now would be a good time to say something.

"Have you slept?" he asked, his voice cracking slightly. He hadn't spoken in a few hours, and his own voice sounded weird to him.
