[Omg. Omg. Jack knows all the coolest people! Clementine scrambles inside without argument. Even if it's a stinky old bar with probably-gross people. If there's a chance of Buffy demonstrating how she can bench press a Buick, Clem wants in.]

[Action]

[abjurer]

Yeah, I do.

[He drinks his own tea, giving her time to mull that over.]

Well, it isn't something that I bring up in introductions and stuff.

[Voice]

[abjurer]

Likewise. I appreciate your help.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

O-oh.

[She nods quickly, twice, hair swaying as she does]

I just...thought you wanted ladies to like you.

[Voice]

[aerialassault]

[On the other hand, Cliff didn't recognize her at all. Perhaps it was the green hair...

He laughed.]

I had a hunch that'd be the case. They're not magic, that's for sure. I was mostly asking in case there were any others who tried to sync higher-grade tech with this stuff. These radios are so far out there that you've gotta wonder about backwards compatibility.

[Action]

[abjurer]

Oh, I do! Don't get me wrong. Women are great. Just... if I met a man, who I really liked it wouldn't be a problem for me.

[willpowered]

We have to do what we have to do. [Easier said than done.] We'll need to prep our pokémon, since they're the ones who'll be...

[...Gurk.]

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

So you're...interested in both?

[Is that allowed?]

Have you ever found...a man then?

[Action]

[abjurer]

Yeah, I am. More girls than guys, but I like both.

[He can't help the small flush on his cheeks at that question, and gives a slightly bashful nod.]

Yeah. I have. Once.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei's eyes flash momentarily]

Oh? Only once?

[Action]

[abjurer]

Well, I've had uh... feelings for a man once. Fooled around with a couple of guys in university but nothing serious.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Hm.

[She strokes her chin, thoughtful and pensive...because this is all new to her.]

What happened with to the man?

[Action]

[abjurer]

[Oh hell, that is getting uh... a little too close to home. Or to Luceti at least. He shrugs one shoulder.]

It didn't work out. I don't think he felt the same.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Oh.

[She...can relate to that, in Luceti actually.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Action]

[abjurer]

[He gives a small smile, a little wistful.]

It's alright. We're still friends. He's a good guy.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Well, that's important.

[Rei's face, though, remains somewhat nervous.]

But perhaps if...he's like you...he'll grow to like you one day?

[heartofthematter]

[Diamond's glad they're all feeling sick. Because the thought of Moo ramming through people, or Wig's leaves striking true... Even Lax with his heavy self...

He'll focus on watching his two best friends instead. Keeping out possibilities. Juuuust quiet. He doesn't like it at all.]

[acuity]

... Should we call our team out and let them know right now?

[ glancing back at the house, rapidash is actually nibbling on some grass on the front lawn already, oblivious 8( ]

[Action]

[abjurer]

[It's difficult not to hope for that, even if it seems terribly unlikely.]

Maybe. Would be nice but... it's his choice. Can't force him. And I don't want to lose a friend.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

Well then take this too.

[Rei takes out a second charm, passing it over]

Luck with love, Max-san.

[Action]

[abjurer]

[He sputters a little, going red when she hands it over, and he still closes his hand over.]

I... seriously, it isn't a big deal. I'm not... not looking or anything and...

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

Thanks, Rei.

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

[Nodding, Rei slid over and wrapped a single arm around him in a quick hug that she broke just as quickly]

Don't mention it.

[mountain_sage]

[Oh, Ewan...he didn't ask you to try He asked you to stay out of trouble. Oh well...]

Very well.

[He pauses, thinking of someone that Ewan could turn to if ne needs to.]

...Have you made any friends here at all?

[Action]

[abjurer]

[The hug is there and gone before he can hug back, but he appreciates the gesture all the same and gives her a warm smile.]

If you ever want to... to talk and stuff, Rei, you're welcome to find me.

Well, I met a cute girl! Her name's Utena and she really liked my magic!
