Rating: Shouldn't get higher than PG, I'd think.
Log:

Louise had to smile at the turn-out for the races he'd set up. Despite anything negative that might have happened, he was pleased with these results. The money would be very beneficial to them here. Not only that but he simply loved to win and come out on top. Obviously he'd succeeded admirably in that venture.

The weather was chilly but he hardly cared about that at the moment. He wanted to see the races play out, see how people reacted to them.

Everything was perfect in his eyes.

[Louise smiles again.]

Horses are magnificent creatures. I am sure that you will enjoy this.

[Aside from losing two members of Hyoutei (which he's not quite sure if he's supposed to even mention anymore, and then there was Jirou too even if he's been gone a while), Shishido didn't exactly have the best relationship with Atobe's horse.

Which is why said Ponyta may be coming over to bother Sanada's.]

[He'll look over at Louise in a bit.] She comes from a good breeder.

[Oh another Ponyta. Rhiannon will look at it with a measuring gaze and then look away all ladylike. Hmm... well see if the other is any worth it.]

[usedtarundoru.livejournal.com]

Thank you. [He'll nod.] It was a good race.

[He might not have a horse in the race, but Nagi's going to be anywhere that Tot is. Making sure she's safe is always his priority.]

[papas_bunnydoll]

[And that's perfectly fine with her, especially since she's a little too excited about the race and more than a little nervous about seeing Mamoru again. Besides it means they get to spend time together even if it's just walking around holding hands.]

Do you think we have time to look around the park before the races?

[usedtelekinesis.livejournal.com]

We should. I've never been here before, so it'll be nice to walk around.

[He takes her hand and smiles warmly.]

[papas_bunnydoll]

Tot would like that. [She smiles back as they start around the park, Akihiko following behind them.]

[usedtelekinesis.livejournal.com]

[Schuldig follows them as well, happy that there's water around and he gets to explore somewhere new.]

Good luck racing him today.

[papas_bunnydoll]

Thank you. Mamoru said he was really fast but Tot doesn't care if he wins or not, just that he has fun.

[usedtelekinesis.livejournal.com]

That's a good way of thinking about it. I think he'll have fun no matter what.

[Nagi reaches out to pet Akihiko's nose lightly.]

[papas_bunnydoll]

[The Rapidash nuzzles into the touch quite happy to accept any and all offered his way.]

Tot thinks so too, the man who set up the race said they really love to run so it will be good for him to run around with the others.

[usedtelekinesis.livejournal.com]

Once we leave Goldenrod, he can run a lot too -- we'll get to travel faster that way.

[Nagi can't ride on any of his, but they're both small enough to ride the Rapidash together, he thinks.]

[papas_bunnydoll]

That would be nice.

[Akihiko is strong enough to carry the both of them, not that Tot minds the traveling part since it's just the two of them--and a bunch of Pokemon--even if it can be cold, wet, and rough.

She stops when they reach the fountain knowing the silly Psyduck would want to play, even if it was too cold.]

[usedtelekinesis.livejournal.com]

[Of course he wants to play. Schuldig jumps in and splashes Akihiko a little before he trips over his own feet and goes sliding. Woops.

Nagi laughes when he sees that.]

No matter how strong he gets, he's still clumsy.

[papas_bunnydoll]

[It's almost possible to understand the sigh Akihiko uses toward Schuldig and Tot also has to laugh at the both of them, although not as much at the Rapidash.]

But he's growing in other ways, so it's just who he is.

[Tot goes to sit down on the fountain's edge, far enough away from where Schuldig is now playing. No getting wet for her this time, thank you please.]

[Mamoru goes quiet. That was most definitely a dodge, and what isn't said can be just as important as what is in a conversation. He should know-- that's a favorite tactic of his, too.

Guard is now up.]

How troubling.

[deadfreesia.livejournal.com]

[Mamoru watches the two Rapidash exchanging affectionate greetings before offering a quiet smile to Tot.]

Hi. It's good to see you again; how have you been getting along?

[papas_bunnydoll]

Fine. [Wow this is just kind of awkward isn't it...]

It's really nice to see you again. [Which kind of translates in Tot speak to, thank you for giving me time to decide this myself.]

[deadfreesia.livejournal.com]

[It really is. And Mamoru doesn't think it will get less so by keeping the conversation on themselves.

So, after a moment of quiet to show acknowledgment of her response, he looks back at the Rapidash.]

Akihiko looks well. He must be excited to be here.

[usedtelekinesis.livejournal.com]

[Schu just wants to get himself and maybe Akihiko a bit wet. He remembers not to get his Trainer wet after Nagi's annoyance last time.]

I know. I like him how he is by now, too.

[angelicmask.livejournal.com]

You should do well today then.

[angelicmask.livejournal.com]

It was. I was very impressed.

[papas_bunnydoll]

[Well the giant fire horse has no use for the Psyduck or his water and walks off a little ways up the path still in sight of Tot.]

He's not as annoying as he used to be.
