Selena was down by the river. She had come to the river to have a quiet part of her day. The town was pretty great, but she didn't really have anyone to talk to there. She wasn't exactly an outgoing Cyndaquil that made friends easily. She couldn't get past her shyness to go and talk to another Pokemon. The river was running and she could see the Magikarp, the Goldeen, and a few Psyducks swimming down the river towards the dungeon. The water gleamed like crystals and was occasionally broken by rocks. Selena looked behind and only noticed that there was the trees and grass behind her. She couldn't get too close to the water because that would put out her fire. That was the bad thing about being a fire type; you couldn't swim or do most anything involving water because it could almost put out your fire. She had recently been pacing back and forth in the vicinity of the river. She sat down a few feet from the water and zoned out watching the fish swim. Tag: Open Words: 179 Notes: no notes

What a fascinating meeting he had with that Abra named Replica. Van wondered if he would see more of him in the future, though... since he was so sleepy, he doubted that. But it was time to return to his duties. Walking along the shore of the river, he enjoyed the warmth of the day and the gentleness of the grass beneath his feet. Without intent, he came along a Cyndaquil that sat almost next to the water. Fire types... had at times to be careful. But it appeared to be lost in thoughts, minding her own business.
Simply walking past Selena, Van had no impetus to interact with her. He saw her once or twice at the guild, but nothing less. And pokemon simply needed some tranquility at times.

The little Cyndaquil had zoned back in; thanks to a little sneeze. It was a quiet, quick sneeze. She covered her mouth in a little giggle. She honestly didn't like her sneeze. Selena was still staring at the fish. She had seen quite a few other types of Pokemon swimming in the stream before. She wondered what swimming was like. "Ugh... I wanna try swimming, but... I'm gonna swim." Selena said trying to get up. She could never get up on the first try. Her little legs and arms wouldn't allow it to happen. It normally took her a few tries. She grunted and stood up. Selena started walking to the water. She took slow steps. Her mind was pumped and ready to do this, but she wasn't. The Cyndaquil wasn't simply going to go back on this now. She put one foot in the water and then the other. It was cold and it made her feel uncomfortable. Selena got until about the first two spots on her back. She felt as if the fire inside of her was dimming a little. Selena scurried out taking deep breaths. Tag: VanitasWords: 189 Notes: I'm just going to facepalm over here.

Okay, that was probably the cutest sneeze Vanitas had ever encountered. She wanted to swim? Well... good luck with that. She already had problems standing up due to her figure. But in the end, she stood there, feet in the water. Stupid flame on her back holding her back from enjoying the water. How was a flame on a body even possible? Many times, pokemon-nature was beyond logic in Vanitas' opinion.
But eventually, he just walked past her.

She wouldn't go swimming anymore after this. Selena didn't want her fire snuffed out of her. Then she couldn't fight with her fire for a while as it had to rekindle itself. When Selena had turned backwards, she had noticed a Sneasel walking past. She realized that she had seen that Sneasel walking around in the guild before. "H- Hello." Selena said slowly walking up to the Sneasel. He had just walked past where she had been. Selena wasn't much of a conversationalist. She wondered if he would talk to her.

Surprised that the pokemon spoke to him, he turned his head to face Selena. A simple hello she spoke, and so he returned the same. "Hello." He responded as she slowly approached him. Vanitas just stood there, gazing at the Cyndaquil with slight curiosity. "Can I... help you?" He asked her after Selena stopped next to him.

Selena had no clue what to say next. She didn't talk to anyone normally. He had responded to her and asked if she needed any help. "No.. Y- You're an explorer. I've seen you at the guild." Selena said not knowing how to keep the conversation going. She stood there awkwardly, swaying side to side. Selena was trembling a bit while standing there. The Cyndaquil wasn't used to conversations. She was pushing her limits though. Tag: VanitasWords: 75 Notes: I'm just going to facepalm over here.

Well this was certainly a bizarre situation. Selena did not appear to have anything to say, so she simply thought about something. Yes, Van was part of the guild, and so was the Cyndaquil. "Yes... so are you an explorer, right? Saw you there as well." Van responded calmly. She was kind of awkward. Was she afraid, since she trembled? "No reason to shake, miss." Van attempted to patiently calm her down.

"Yeah... I'm an explorer too." Selena said looking at the Sneasel. Then it seemed to notice her shaking and asked her about it. "Sorry, I'm just not used to talking to people. I'm not a very outgoing person." She mumbled almost inaudibly. Selena took a deep breath and tried to stop her shaking. Once she had calmed herself down, she looked back and gave a small smile to the Sneasel. Tag: VanitasWords: 70 Notes: no notes

Eeyup, definetly an explorer. She was an introvert, just like him. "Neither am I. Doesn't mean I shake." Van suggested. All she lacked was some confidence, especially to speak louder. But hey, she calmed down after a deep breath, and Van responded the smile with a smile of his own. "See? Not that hard."

Selena looked around her anxiously. "It's just talking to Pokemon scares me. Yeah, I guess it's not that bad..." She had no clue why she was opening up to this Sneasel she didn't even know the name of. "What's your name?" Selena asked. The chat the two were having would probably go a little better if she knew his name. He probably didn't know her name either. This would be a pretty great time to know someone new in the guild.

Weird; to be afraid of even the most basic of conversations. That screamed low selfesteem, which was generally not a good thing. Most Pokemon around the place were good-natured, so there was no need to have anxieties. "Vanitas. Van for short." Van responded to her question about his name. "Yours?" He asked, more out if kindness than actual interest.

Selena learned that the Sneasel's name was Vanditas. "I'm Selena." The little Cyndaquil said smiling quickly. Her face then returned to a neutral expression. She could somewhat tell that Vanditas really didn't care about Selena's name. That idea didn't help Selena at all. He was just doing it to be nice, and Selena was actually wondering about his name.

Selena... cute name, fitting for a charming lady like that Cyndaquil. Well... now there was nothing left. Well, this was kinda awkward. Vanitas just looked around, really not knowing what to do with this rather hesitant and silent pokemon. "So... anything else?" He asked in kind of a 'please say something' fashion. He wanted to like her, but... this was just a bit too awkward at the moment.

Selena was also uncomfortable in the awkward silence. It was a killer for her, and she was sure that it was for Van too. "Um... So what are you doing out here?" Selena asked trying to keep the conversation from being as awkward. That much wasn't going to change between the two. Tag: VanitasWords: 52 Notes: no notes
