### Corivana Espada & Kyo (interaction with Claire, John, Sindri, Zavier, and their pokemon)


**Road to Hiden - Ayero**

------

The extended lily meant for Claire was tossed over Corivana's shoulder as the latter chuckled underneath her breath. _'A spitfire, is she? I do love a lady with a bit of fire to her.'_ The pirate couldn't help but look as Claire sauntered over to the men to appreciate the other woman from behind. Corivana did think that the coincidences abounded, especially so since the two had legendaries that were mortal enemies. **"Fate is cruel, sometimes..."** Corivana muttered quietly, her pirate accent slipping when she was sure that the others couldn't hear her. She gave the vulpix near her legs a smile and leaned over to pet him. **"You can be named Fate, little guy."** She whispered to Zavier with a wink, then hopped back up to her full height and swaggered after Claire, John, and Sindri.

She joined back up with the group to hear Sindri ask about the morph hatred. **"I do no hate morphs, but I have had slay a few in me past, Sir Rist. Iffin' other people can do the deed, I would gladly fill up on me booze instead."** She shook the bottle of sake still in her hand and took a long swig, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand when she was finished. **"Ahhhh... Well, iffin' they do no pose a threat to Lady Claire. Though she can be handlin' herself, it do seem."** Corivana shot a significant glance to the sword at Claire's side, then to the Groudon the noble Terrane had on a leash. **"I do believe we be in her care, truthfully. Thank ye fer havin' me and Kyo in yer crew, my Lady."** Corivana gave Claire another dazzling smile. **"Kyo do be a big softie, really. Poor lass do no like the sight o' blood."** 

Though Corivana seemed indifferent to the men of the group, she was taking in every bit of info Sindri was parting with. _'The Rust Desert? I haven't heard **anything** living out there... they are an older House, by what he says. Worth looking in to.'_ Corivana had kept her eye and ears out, and noticed that Sindri seemed remarkably pliant for somebody nearly accosted into being in their group by the rather aggressive John - who kept looking at her and _twitching_ of all things. She hoped she wouldn't need to use her scimitars this day. She nonchalantly took another swig of her sake and glanced around.

Coming up the road far behind them was a large contingent of men, perhaps thirty or forty, all dressed uniformly. The gleam of their armor in the sun barred her eye from being able to see the emblem on their tabards, though she had the strange feeling that they were in the King's Guard too - men summoned from abroad just like herself, or else soldiers sent by a noble house to the capital for the very same reason: because of the rumor of war. **"I do no like the looks of them, perhaps we do be gettin' yer poor haxxorus to the nearest center fer some proper care, John."** She said in clear, light voice that seemed unconcerned, though her brows were furrowed. **"I do believe there be a small outpost nearby that do have one. Nona Nursery, by the name o' it."** Corivana walked to Kyo and laid a hand on the pokemon's side. **"Come ye scurvy mutt, we be leavin'."** She called to Zavier as she hopped up on Kyo's harness.
