The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub the Peculiar

Jub hadn't expected such an immediate reaction to his question. Before he could respond, however, Brutrumukk cut in with his own response, which Jub decided to further clarify to avoid any misunderstanding. "Yes, he was in a cage," he said. "We were able to get him out though. I don't know where he is now, but last time we saw him he was fine." Jub tilted his head to the side. "I'm guessing you're one of his knights or something?"

Jill's face briefly fell when Yuu said he would not wait for her. After all, she hadn't exactly been planning to linger in the lab. She would just run in, return the bucket, thank Frieda again if she was still about and rush out. However, he did seem genuine in his promise that he would wait for her at the Pokemon Centre, so her smile returned and she gave him an awkward thumbs up. "Sure thing!" she said. "See you there!" With that, she turned and made her way back into the lab.

As she was doing this, Aster had somehow managed to wriggle out of her trainer's arms and crawled up onto her shoulders, still very pointedly not looking at either Yuu or his Riolu as she did so.

Jub the Peculiar

Jub had been about to continue following after Brutrumukk when he spotted the bullywug prisoner within the holding cells. The manner in which they held themself brought to mind that of a knight, which in turn reminded him of the dead knight they had spotted when rescuing Sir Talavar from the balloon.

"Err, just hold for a moment," he said to the barbarian. He then started walking over to the cell. "Err, hello?" he called, waving over his head towards the prisoner. "Hello over there, you wouldn't happen to know a Sir Talavar, by any chance?"

Hmmm....
Make either an Insight check or a History check for me please. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Got a 15 on a Insight check.

Aurora: I sure hope Jub and Brutrumukk didn't do anything rash while we were separated.
Meanwhile, Jub and Brutrumukk: *quickly fleeing from the scene of a crime*

@Guardian Angel Haruki What can Jub tell about the figure in rags from where we're standing?

The Clowns of Valerith

Partied a little to hard on New Year's Eve, eh?

@rush99999

Oh I didn't. I had family over, and they were the ones who partied hard. I just had to put up with it.

The Clowns of Valerith

How is everyone? Holidays didn't take too much out of everyone right?

@Aqutanama

*lying on the floor, exhausted*

No. What would make you think that?

My holidays were enjoyable but I am very tired right now.

Ever since Jojo had taken out the Slakoth, Aster had been sulking. Her stubby arms were crossed and she looked genuinely miserable. Jill must have sensed this because as soon as the battle was over, he walked over to the Aipom and gathered her up in a big hug. "You did pretty good, Aster," she said. This didn't seem to make the monkey Pokemon's mood any better... but it didn't seem to make it any worse either, as she didn't make any attempts to get out of her trainer's grasp.

Jill raised her head when Yuu addressed her, seeming more than a little confused by his words and demeanor. Was he... upset with her? It seemed that way, though she had no idea why or what she could have done to incite such a reaction. They'd won the battle, hadn't they? That was supposed to be a good thing, but he didn't seem entirely happy about, at least not happy with her. She felt an awkward lump forming in the pit of the stomach as she quickly went through her mind, trying to figure out what it was she could have possibly done wrong. She was so engrossed in this that she almost missed when Yuu addressed again.

"Huh? Oh, err, sure," Jill said, a little surprised he'd invited her considering how he'd been acting. "We'd love to come along, wouldn't we Aster?" She looked down at the Aipom in her arms, who simply turned her head away. It seemed like she didn't want to even look at the riolu, she was that upset with him. Jill frowned. "Oh, come on, don't act like that. It's rude." Aster didn't respond, continuing to seem gloomy. Jill sighed, and gave a small bow to the three other trainers. "She gets like this sometimes, I'm sorry." She then raised her head back up somewhat abruptly, as if recalling something. "Oh, is it okay if you guys wait a moment for me? I still need to return this." Still holding Aster in one arm, she picked up the bucket she had gotten from the lab her free hand, holding it up and waving it over her head.
