When Things Tumble [Tag: Shiro]

[sparklefire]

Ah-hin was starving. She'd missed breakfast for waking up late and it was now past lunchtime. Why hadn't she been eating? Well her group was still trying to get settled into the city. They were looking for jobs and a place to stay that wasn't the slums. Unfortunately they had to have money to stay out of that section of town and none of them had been able to find jobs as of yet. They'd only been in Aether a few days though, so it was to be expected. Still a day of job-hunting on an empty stomach made a Gijinka beyond hungry. Too bad she had to get groceries on that empty stomach. She was way tempted to eat what she'd bought instead of taking it to their shabby little apartment.

The only thing that stopped her was fear of her sister's temper.

"I hate being sucker punched." she muttered under her breath as she finished checking out. All the groceries were bagged (three bags in all) and she headed out to start home. She was sure she'd gotten everything on the list that her sister had given her. If she'd missed something, oh well they'd have to get it later. Ah-hin had used the last of the most recent pay she'd received for odd jobs to buy the groceries. She'd be glad when they got steady jobs for sure. She didn't like being poor or having to go hungry because of lack of money.

It rankled her pride bad.

Of course being lost in thought, she hadn't noticed on of the bags was strained. It gave way without warning, the weak plastic tearing, groceries spilling out around her. Ah-hin was paralyzed with shock for a split second before groaning softly. Great, this was just her luck. She set her bags down and began retrieving fallen groceries, trying to stick them in the other bags without straining them as well.

He was escaping from the breeding center for a bit, just to breath in some fresh air and collect his thoughts. Though what he had to collect he wasn’t sure. He just felt... restless, as usual. Perhaps that was a better way of putting it. He shrugged and kicked at a stray stone that was in his path. Regardless, he was out now, and he intended to stray as far as he could before heading back home. It gave him the perfect excuse to look around too. There was always someone or something new coming in from the farms, and it was always interesting to see the reaction those folks had to the city. The corner of his mouth curled when he spotted farm children looking around in awe, and he gave them a little wave as he passed. Cute kids, reminded him of his nieces and nephews when he told them about his battles. That smile wore off a little when he spotted Ah-hin, surrounded by spilled groceries. He could have passed her by, but that just wasn’t like him and besides, his mother would hear about it and he wouldn’t hear the end of it. So he smiled and jogged over to the other gijinka, kneeling down so that he could help her pick her things up. ”Looks like you could use a bit of a hand there.” He nodded to the other two bags, which appeared to be near bulging from the additional contents. He held out a few pieces of fruit with one hand while reaching for a stray vegetable with the other. ”If you’d like, I could help you get those home.”[/classy]

Ah-hin didn't notice the young man approaching until he spoke to her and she felt her cheeks heating up. Well she thought he was nice for offering to help when he could have just passed right by her. "Thanks, I guess I could use a hand..." she replied sheepishly, her cheeks turning bright red by this point. "I don't know why the bag broke on me. So inconvenient." she muttered shaking her head slightly. The broken bag could be used for a small amount of the spilled groceries but it was not up to holding all it had been holding before.

Just her luck.

She took the fruit that he held out and inspected it briefly before sticking it on the top of one of the bags. She did the same with the vegetable before making sure there were no other groceries she'd missed. Nope, she didn't see anything she'd missed and if she had it would have to wait till the next paycheck. She carefully lifted one of the bags, making sure it wouldn't tear on her despite the load, and turned toward Shiro.

"This way." she commented motioning toward the slums with a jerk of her head. She hoped he didn't mind helping her still. He frankly looked too high class for walking around the slums. That was just her opinion though.

XD[/classy] [classy=text]After she had everything loaded up, he reached for a piece of the plastic left on the ground. ”Sometimes the plastic can be a little bit flimsy. Have you ever considered bringing in your own bags? Most stores allow it. And it would be less chance of having another accident like this.” He tried not to come off as pushy, or sarcastic as usual, and hoped he was at least somewhat helpful sounding. He rose to his feet and stuffed the piece of plastic in his pocket to dispose of later, then reached for one of her bags. ”I did say that I’d help.” And it wouldn’t do if he didn’t at least take one. That way it would lessen the load she had to carry and he could make himself feel useful and less of a creep for following her back to her home. ”Of course. Lead the way!” Shiro himself had no problems with walking into the slums. He had before for various reasons, and it likely wouldn’t be the last time he’d traipse through them either. In fact, he felt good about walking with Ah-hin, feeling that he was keeping her “safe” by being in her company. He glanced at a few faces that tilted in their direction and he shook his head, trying to dissuade a few familiar fellows from causing any problems. Let them. If they even attempted it he’d have words - and then some - to deal them. Thankfully it seemed as though the path was going to remain clear, and he took a few steps forward so that he walked side by side with his temporary companion. ”I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.” Granted, he couldn’t possibly know everyone that was around, but he liked to think he had a good eye for faces. ”You must be new to the city part of Aether?”[/classy]

Ah-hin nodded a bit as the young man spoke. "That's probably what happened. I would use them if I had them." she responded mildly as he picked up the bag and nodded again as he said he'd help. She was glad he would, she wasn't sure if she could get both bags back to her house safely by herself the way the plastic was behaving.

"Thanks." she commented her cheeks still rather red though she wasn't so embarrassed anymore. She did notice the looks from other people, though a scent she caught stole her attention. She smelled fire, heat. She kept her expression neutral for the time being, trying to deduce what pokemon her helper had in his veins. A fire type she'd bet ten bucks on it, but it wasn't a Flareon, like Terra was. He didn't smell similar to Terra, though they still had the same heat 'smell' to their scents. She blinked as he spoke again and a slight smile flickered across her lips.

"I am new to the City. I've only been here a few days." she replied chuckling softly. She'd just been there long enough to find a place to stay and get a temporary job but she wasn't sure she should mention that. She titled her head slightly as she eyed him curiously. "What about you? How long have you been in the city?" she asked a bit hesitantly. She wasn't used to casual conversation with complete strangers.

DX[/classy] [classy=text]Shiro made a mental note of that. He wasn’t swimming in money himself, but he knew his parents used the reusable bags. If he ever saw the girl again, or if they ended up friends, maybe he’d give her some. Nodding to himself, he tucked away that little tidbit for later, knowing it would be useless unless there was an opening for such information. What he was thinking about now was what kind of gijinka she was. Usually his senses were kind to him, but right now there were so many things in the air and for some reason, he was having a difficult time discerning scents. He wrinkled his nose, gave it a wriggle, but it remained “broken”. If only he could reach up and pinch it without notice. That usually helped, or so his little Pichu nephew seemed to think. As for how long he’d been in the city, he had to think about that. The tip of his tongue stuck out of his mouth as he counted how many years it’d been in his head. ”Wow, I haven’t thought about that in a while. We moved to the city when I was just nine, and that was... sixteen years ago. I think.” He shook his head. ”Spirits that makes me feel old.” He laughed at himself and offered her a smile. That’s when it hit him, the scent that he’d been struggling with - and he was going to blame that on being tired, even if he was wide awake. ”Glaceon. Your blood - you’re a Glaceon if I’m not mistaken?”[/classy]

The Glaceon Gijinka walked along quietly, content to listen to her companion as he spoke. She smiled a bit at his expression as he thought about her question She nodded when he answered it, realizing that made him quite a bit older than she was. She was almost stunned that she was born when he'd come to live in the city, but then again she was fairly young to be coming into the city. "I was just born when you came to the city." she mused, slightly amused by this. She was still trying to puzzle out his pokemon when he surprised her by guessing the DNA that coursed through her. She tilted her head slightly, eyeing him as she nodded.

"Yes, Glaceon." she answered seeming to consider something for a moment as blue eyes regarded the young man with a thoughtful expression on her face before she spoke again. "I know yours is a fire type... Vulpix maybe? she added, hazarding a guess. His scent was similar to Synge's, though again, slightly different but she would peg that on the human blood in him. She shifted the bag she was carrying slightly. She should have brought her backpack to put these groceries in, that would have been so much better. She would remember that next time she went shopping.

Shiro looked her face over carefully again and sighed. Now he really felt old, never mind the fact that he was only twenty-five. His parents both told him that he wasn’t old, that he was nearing the prime of his life. But that didn’t stop him from feeling it on certain days, especially with how often he ventured out looking for battles to engage in. ”Uh, do me a favor. Tell me you aren’t entirely creeped out by someone my age helping you out?” He smiled at that, an almost hopeful expression on his face. Spirits, why did he have to be so olldddd? At least they had better things to speak of, like their respective Gijinka dnas and abilities. He was quite pleased that he was correct about what was running through her veins. At least it meant his nose was still sharp, despite it taking so long for him to root out what she was. ”Ah, you’re not that far off actually. Ninetails, shiny.” If he had the tails to match, this would be the time when he’d flash them in a spectacular manner. Thankfully, he managed to keep from tossing his hair, which his little sister said he often did when sharing what his blood was mixed with. He frowned inwardly at that. Nothing wrong with a little pride in what and who he was...[/classy]

The Glaceon Gijinka let out a laugh as he asked if she felt creeped out by him helping her. "Not really, you've only been helpful, not creepy anyway." She answered, her voice filled with humor and her eyes glinting with amusement. He wasn't that much older than her, and he seemed like the older brother type anyway. She wasn't inclined to believe that he would hurt someone just for the fun of it. She could be wrong but she had learned to trust her instincts. Fire might be dangerous but only if it got out of hand.

Ice could be just as deadly.


"I was close." she agreed when he corrected her on the DNA that he held. A shiny Ninetales? Well that was new. She didn't know that the DNA of the Shiny pokemon had been available. Then again her aunt and uncle had probably just told the scientists at the hospital to give her whatever was available. They said she'd been lucky to get the Glaceon and the Vaporeon DNA. Both were in demand pokemon and hard to get on top of that. She was glad she'd gotten the DNA, along with her sister, but she wasn't going to take a trip down memory lane especially where her aunt and uncle were concerned.

She realized she'd fallen silent for a moment and shook her head slightly. "Sorry, just remembered I need to make sure the trash got taken out when I get home." she commented smiling a bit. "Do you ever get used to the noise around the city?" she asked, turning to glance up at Shiro. She didn't think she was ever going to get used to it. The city was so much noisier than where she was from.

He’d be late in getting going once he returned, but that was okay. ”You do on some days. I think it all just depends on your state of mind though.” He kicked aside a can as he passed, and tried to remember where it landed so he could fetch it later. ”For instance, if I’m sitting around doing nothing, the noise is particularly unbearable.” It was one of the reasons why he tried so hard to keep busy. That and he just didn’t like to sit in one place for too long. ”There’s plenty to do in the city though, to take your mind off of the things you don’t like. There’s the Carnival, for instance, the business of the town center.” He adjusted his hold on the bag he held. ”I think you’ll get used to it eventually. You just need to give it some time.” Which, depending on what kind of a person she was, could take a while. She seemed like a good kid though, someone with a decent head on her shoulders. Hopefully, the city wouldn’t swallow her whole anytime soon. Hm, maybe he could keep an eye on her, to make sure nothing happened to her. He made a mental note to remember where she lived, when they reached her place of residence, just so he could pass by in the future and check up on her.[/classy]

Ah-hin wasn't sure she believed him when he brushed off her apology but he seemed genuine enough so she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. She noticed him thinking and guessed that her mention of taking out the trash had gotten him to thinking about things that he needed to do. That made her feel bad for a moment but he had volunteered to help so it wasn't on her shoulders really. She nodded as he answered her question on getting used to the city.

"I suppose that's true. I like peace and quiet every now and then though." She replied wryly. "I suppose I could at least go see it. I've never been to a Carnival before." she commented seeming to think on the idea for a moment before nodding. "I'll definitely consider it that's for sure." she spoke smiling a bit shifting the bag in her arms as she turned down the street that her apartment building was on.

"Almost there." she informed him.
