[h3][center][color=f7976a][b]Yaze[/b][/color] [s][color=f7976a][b]Nikasai[/b][/color][/s][/center][/h3] Yaze strolled leisurely across the island of Nogii, enjoying the warm sun shining it’s beams of light down onto his back. Draped across one shoulder like a ragdoll, Marrow lazily munched at a biscuit, the small pokemon having only roused a few minutes ago. The pair had decided to rest here on the island for a few days, after the long trek here from across the Earth Kingdom. Yaze titled his head slightly to look at his companion. [b][color=f7976a]“What a day, eh Marrow?”[/color][/b] The one in question looked at Yaze and blinked once slowly, before turning his attention back to the half eaten biscuit in his claws. Small crumbs of salty biscuity goodness tumbled out of the slakoth’s mouth and onto the ground, perhaps to be taken advantage of by a hungry rattata. Yaze sighed. [b][color=f7976a]“Touche, touche.... Well, we’re gonna head to that tavern so I can get a bite to eat. I’m starving, and unlike you, I can’t stand biscuits and dried meat day in and day out. That sound alright?”[/color][/b] [color=747D7D][b]“Grrmmurr….”[/b][/color] Marrow purred, assenting. The little pokemon didn’t much care what Yaze did, as long as they were both safe and fed.

Just as the building came within sight, a brown haired woman that was clearly of Air Nomad descent stepped outside…. Only to be viciously assaulted by a seemingly belligerent fruit. Marrow and Yaze simultaneously turned to look at each other, the former making amused, guttural sounds while the latter did nothing but smile slightly. The pair approached the no doubt baffled woman. [b][color=f7976a]“Hey there, you’re cute, and I’m Yaze,”[/color][/b] He began jovially. [b][color=f7976a]“So what’d you do to anger the local mango population? Are there more of them out there?”[/color][/b] A quick look around revealed to Yaze a face peeking out from the roof. He grinned at the girl above him before turning his attention back to the air nomad.
