It had been a while since he had been to the city. Since his rough encounter when he had left Raven's side to get him soup and medicine. It was almost scary to be amongst the crowd again, almost ready to be pulled away and threatened by knife point again. With a deep breath he shook his head and stayed amongst the busy crowd, hoping that the amount of people around him would keep any threats at bay. He was out to get some food, knowing his stock was dwindling far too quickly with his tastes. He had gone out when Raven had gone on a delivery, knowing he wouldn't be allowed out alone otherwise. Despite everything he adored about that man, he didn't like how...stiffling he was. With a sigh he clutched his little eevee close too him, too scared to put his precious Sunil down thinking he might get lost in the crowd. The little guy had only recently hatched after all! There was no way he could possibly allow harm to come to it, despite knowing how protective Vahni was over him.

Vahni walked at his side, trotting soundlessly with his large black eyes glaring at each passerby he could lay his sights on. Since that event last time they were in the city, he was far too scared for Illorie's safety to leave his side. Even though the little vulpix knew he wouldn't be a match for anyone (He was still far too weak, it seemed) he could at least put up quite the fuss untill some heroic person came to the rescue. Quickly he glanced up at his human as he heard a heavy sigh leave him, tilting his head slightly. It seemed like Illorie had the same worries, with the timid expression across his usually curious face. "Let's sit down for a while, okay Vahni?" He murmured lightly, moving towards the benches he had found the last time he was in the City Square, and sat on an empty one with another sigh. Carefully putting Sunil down beside him he leaned back and looked up at the sky. Was it okay that he had come out here on his own? Should he have waited for Raven to come home before he left? Shaking his head he slumped forward and put his chin in his hands, ignoring the insistent nudging at his shin from the worried little Vulpix.

There were so many people, and even after a few weeks of experience with it, Richard frequently found himself overwhelmed, force to retreat to a corner, to hide in an alley and wait for himself to breath again. He'd have never thought he was a coward before, but how could he not deal with people? These people weren't even scary or dangerous - they were normal and weak, and he could have taken out any of them with a minimum of effort. One earthquake would likely devastate the street if he put his back into it, and yet even so, there he was, tucked into a corner with his hands over his face, waiting for him to calm down. At another time, he'd have run off, ended up sitting with Caesar and the boys, and talked it all out. Now, though, they were gone - and the fact that he'd never see them again hit him in the gut. Richard was rarely sad for long. Being sad got you killed. Being sad meant you were exposed, and so the sadness had to become something else. In this case, it was simple drive - he had to do something, to distract himself. Drawing out a light blue pokeball, he released the shiny nidoran onto the ground, tucking the pokeball away before bending over, scooping the pokemon into one arm. There. The new Caesar - maybe he'd go and find him a battle. This Caesar wouldn't be the real Caesar until he was a nidoking, and as much as Richard would say otherwise, he absolutely was in a rush to see that. Emerging from the alley, Richard glanced around, eager for a battle. He was expecting wild pokemon, and instead he found something else - a familiar bundle of purple hair sitting on a bench, facing away from him. He knew that hair, and with one arm still holding the nidoran, he approached the bench, reaching out to ruffle Illorie's hair. Asking? Who asked? "Yo!"

Illorie sighed softly, his chin in his hands as he stared at the passerbys. There was nothing he could do, all he had was a few coin in his pocket to spend on food. Oh how hungry he was. He carefully reached down and picked the little vulpix up, holding Vahni close to him. There was something else bothering him, he knew that for sure. Something more than his fear of the city and his grumbling stomach. "I hate when he leaves for deliveries." He murmured lightly, sighing as Vahni nuzzled his cheek and stared up at him with those large black eyes of his.

Suddenly he stiffened, feeling a hand run through his hair. Jerking away he stood quickly from the bench, holding a growling Vulpix in his arms as he stared at him, expecting to see the shady man from before. Yet it wasn't him, or a stranger, it was someone rather familiare. Sighing in relief he smiled softly. "Sorry." He said softly, raising a hand in a wave. "Hello." He said softly before moving to sit back down, this time facing Richard. He put his vulpix down and patted the bench beside him, smiling to the man. "How have you been, Rich?" He asked with a grin, glancing to the strangely colored nidoran in his arms. He pointed at it gently and smiled. "I have a girl, strangely the same color." He said with a laugh.

Sure, he'd have jumped just the same as she did if someone did that to him, but he was from the slums. He had a reason to jump. No one ruffled your hair in the middle of the slums - they only did that when you were safe with your mates. Illorie, best he knew, was a city girl, and as best he could tell, she had no reason to be jumpy. Of course, he was horribly, horribly wrong, but it was unlikely he'd find that out for a while. "Hey hey, none of that." He said to the growling vulpix, resisting the urge to swat it's nose with his free hand. No, better to not - he liked all his fingers intact. You could never tell when pokemon were going to take a chunk out of you, after all. "Huh? Me? I've been fine. Workin' at the new job. Not exactly fun, but I don't think any jobs really are." Realistically, hunting down illegal Gijinka wasn't any morally worse to Richard then hunting down people who strayed onto his gangs territory. At least this one paid. At least this one had let him live. "Oh, Caes? Yeah, got lucky with the coloration. Boys are purple, girls are blue, they swap colors if they're... whatsit. Shiny." Shiny pokemon were almost nonexistent in the slums, and the Nidoran was the first Richard had ever attained. "For some reason, people will pay freakin' tons for them." Freaking, of course, was Richard's attempt to control his languages in front of a lady. Nevermind that his new bosses got huffy if he cursed too much.
