Ready Your Weapons

Who: N and anyone!
Location: Forest
Time: Morning.
Style: Either-or!
Status: Open to all!

There is a clearing not too into the forest that has obviously gotten some abuse in the past. It sits on the bottom of a hill and much of the vegetation has been burned away; the hill itself looks as if it has been gouged on occasion by something very large.

Right now, it may be obvious what the cause may have been: a large white dragon sits on the edge, though at the moment she seems contented to lounge on her belly, eyes half-closed. Nothing nearly so traumatic as destroying part of the hill is going on right now; instead she is watching over her trainer with a much smaller beast.

N has a sword in hand, though the scabbard is still on it, and he is all but dancing around, blocking as his Zorua lunges at him, swiping at him again and again.

It is all very serious until the fox Pokemon apparently has had enough. The Zorua jumps up and grabs ahold of the scabbard, pulling down on it with a playful growl.

"H-hey! This is not tug of war!" N protests, but he ends up laughing as he tries to wrest the sword away from him.

[And here comes Hilbert sneaking up nearby. The trainer made it obvious that he was looking for his friend--ducking as soon as he spotted his green head. He squeezed his own Zorua in his arms, who quietly whines. Zorua appears tired of Hilbert's behavior, ready to drop the small present hanging in his mouth by a ribbon.

Hilbert quietly shushed the small fox, peeking at the strange scene.]

Oi... What is he doing, huh?

[singularjustice]

[ N's Zorua looked up, ears perking, when he heard Hilbert's voice. He promptly dropped the sword to yip. ]

Huh? What is it?

[and_yellow]

Ay, ay, ay.

[He quickly lowers himself to the ground, laying flat.

--Well, kinda. Zorua gets squished by his trainer's weight and the fox's whining gets louder.]

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, just keep still...

[singularjustice]

[ Have a Zorua bowling towards you both, Hilbert, yipping excitedly. ]

Hello? Who's there?

[and_yellow]

Sh! Sh!

[Hilbert lifts his head slightly, trying to quieten N's Zorua. Hilbert's Zorua instead crawls from under his trainer, curious about the newcomer's appearance. His mood lightens with his poofy tail wagging, sniffing at the other Zorua.

His trainer takes his hat off and waves it in his Pokemon's direction.] Zorua! Zorua...! Get back here.

[singularjustice]

[ Well, N recognizes that Zorua, certainly. ]

... Hilbert? Is that you?

[and_yellow]

...

...

No.

[He's still laying there.]

[singularjustice]

[ ...oh Hilbert what are you doing. N goes to stand over him with a bemused smile. ]

Hi.

[and_yellow]

...

...

Okay, okay, fine.

[As if staying silent was going to camouflage him. He rolls over and looks up, smiling back while hugging the wrapped present close.]

Hello~

[singularjustice]

[ N had to giggle. ]

What are you doing?

[and_yellow]

Just dropping by to say hi.

[He lifts the present up towards N.]

To give this to you guys too~

[singularjustice]

...what's that?

[ N takes it from Hilbert, turning it over in his hands curiously. ]
