Topic: The long road, a pokemon journey (Namari x missylooni)

[MissyLooni]

Aki shrugs, "maybe? I dont know. At any rate im not going out out. Just going.... to my house. Visit my pokemon real quick..."

[Namari]

Satoshi frowns, " alright. do... you want me to come with? im not sure if it's a good idea to go alone."

[MissyLooni]

Aki is quiet for a bit before shrugging, "doesnt matter to me if you come with or not..."

[Namari]

Sato gets up and goes over to him, " i think i'd better. i won't mess with you, i'll just be there if you need me."

[MissyLooni]

Aki shrugs again before heading out, going towards his old home

[Namari]

Satoshi follows.

[MissyLooni]

Aki gets to a large home, slightly dated looking but not in terrible condition considering it had essentially been abandoned. He pulls out his keys and unlocks the front door, stepping inside, "don't worry about anything gross around here.  When i came back i hired a crew to professionally clean this place. A deep clean the first time and then once a month they come back to just touch up and report to me anything alarm that they find..."

[Namari]

Satoshi nods, " ah, nice. it's a nice house..." he wanders along after Aki, looking around.

[MissyLooni]

Aki shrugs, "my parents could afford a lot since their job was government stuff." He heads through the living, going over to a sliding glass door. He unlocks a few dead bolts and opens it, heading through the backyard, "looks like old man travis is still kickin' since the grass is mowed..."

[Namari]

Satoshi nods, " well, that's good then. maybe you should visit him?"

[MissyLooni]

Aki frowns and shakes his head, "I.... cant right now...he's a crier." Aki walks past most of the yard until he gets to the back where there's a blossom and kneels down, gently patting the dirt in front of the trunk, "hey there espeon..."

[Namari]

Satoshi nods, " alright. well you do what you need to." he walks off to the other side of the yard, giving Aki as much privacy as possible."

[MissyLooni]

Aki stares at the dirt mound for a really long time before leaning forward and pressing his forehead into the dirt, shuddering softly before sighing and pushing himself up, "You really didnt have to come..."

[Namari]

Satoshi shakes his head, " no, i didn't. but i know this is hard for you, and i wanted to be able to watch your back."

[MissyLooni]

Aki gives a numb shrug,  "....well i certainly don't feel nearly as bad as when i had to bury her here... think i hadnt even showered yet and was still caked in blood..."
