Terra incognita ~

[greatbigrock]

Who: Tulio, Envy and Miguel finally
Where: Violet
When: Saturday the 23rd, mid-day
Summary: Tulio finds Miguel! But is Miguel really happy about this? And what about Envy? THE DRAMA
Rating: Uuh no more than PG I don't think
Log: Finally, they'd once again reached civilisation. That trek had been quite an ordeal and Tulio was more than happy to have the whole thing behind him. He'd forgotten about the cities in this place, though - how bright they were. Finding the dirt road making way to pavement, he had to take a moment to again absorb the strange workings of everything. The white lights from within the houses, the windows that all seemed to have glass - he'd only ever seen that on rich churches before - it was all just plain strange.

Bicho was buzzing with excitement beside him, probably elated by the sheer amount of people around. He'd learnt not to fly off like a rocket recently, and that was probably the sole reason he didn't do precisely that.

Well, anyway - so this was Violet. The place where that Barney person had told him Miguel was at. Tulio was trying to not get any hopes up, but he was hoping it was true and that Miguel was still around. Which reminded him of his current travelling partner, and he came to a halt and turned to look at Envy.

"Look, I gotta do something", he said in a bit of an urgent tone, but he was casual about it. "I'll ... find you later." Not really waiting for a reply, he turned and went in the direction of the pokémon center, with the intent of leaving Bicho there and to see if he could find his partner. He didn't really have a plan regarding finding him, but they'd always seemed to find each other by some weird instance of what Miguel would call fate anyway.

"God, Miguel, you never learn, do you?"

He was practically chuckling - an uncharacteristic action, in general, but he hadn't seen his partner for what felt like a really long time. Besides, the events described to him now seemed so very typical of the other man, he couldn’t help but be amused at the familiarity.

Miguel was the only one who Tulio didn’t hide from, even if he’d still be pretty closed up – but he always was. The difference is that Miguel is the one who gets to see the real Tulio occasionally, and no one else does.

So, walking along, he allowed himself the small comfort of relaxing, for once. As they neared the building of the Pokémon Center, he made a movement as if to steer away from it, but then decided to let Miguel lead.

”I can’t believe you did that. You’re lucky we’re not back in Spain, you would’ve killed yourself.” He sounded a bit berating, but he gave Miguel a sideways combination of a smirk and a smile.

_{They probably would’ve been killed sooner or later anyway, but that was besides the point.}

"Oh, you know me", he said with a soft laugh.

What if the berry had been fatally poisonous? Then he would have been dead, and what did they do at the thought of this? They laughed.

Oh well. It wasn't like they hadn't laughed death in the face before. The risk of dying glared at them on a daily basis there in Spain. If it wasn't some guards being after their criminal-butts, it was some bounty hunter and if it wasn't that, it was sickness or lack of shelter or money and food which led to starvation and desperate measures.

They kept on walking along the street, heading towards the Pokemon Center, where Envy should be waiting for them. Miguel was still amazed by the automatic doors as they opened with a swoosh. How did they work? There was no handle but they opened when you came close. Was it magic or something? Maybe it was this thing that girl had talked about? What was it called now... Electricity?

Oh, and there he was. Envy. Waiting for them as expected. Miguel frowned a little as they approached the green-haired boy, but he shook it off. He should at least try to be nice.

Envy had given over his Larvitar with only a little wariness, seeing that other people were having no problem with doing the same. The nurse said that he'd have to rest for a while because of how tired he was, and given him a bit of a disapproving look. He just frowned back at her and went to sit on on of the couches. It was great to be inside finally though, where it wasn't chilly or uncomfortable or dirty. He really wanted to get clean, but he'd wait until he knew what was going on with Tulio and that other Miguel guy first.

He'd resorted to actually reading his Trainer Manual more thoroughly than he had at first by the time the two other men walked inside. He looked up, as he'd done whenever he heard those doors open, and grinned when he saw them. So they hadn't ditched after all, that was good for him.

"Hey, have a good time catching up with each other?"

His tone was still somewhat teasing and he had a slight smirk on his face, but he'd be more friendly for now. If he didn't , there was a much higher chance now that he'd get left.

Catching sight of Envy, Tulio wasn’t sure if he wanted him there or not, but decided to give him a chance he knew he could probably make use of. Envy would be an asset, and a good one at that. They didn’t have to be friends – it was business. In a sense, though, he was sort of glad to see him there, even if Miguel was his main man and would always be.

He slung an arm over Miguel’s shoulders in a very possessive gesture that had a clear message.

”Absolutely”, was the answer, delivered in a voice that was slightly sharp in response to the slight tease he’d heard in Envy. He didn’t think about it, though, and sat down next to Envy, expecting Miguel on his other side. He had an idea for a con, now, and he’d need both of them, and if they could pull it off, the profit would be great.
