► ninth sketch [Video]

[memorychains]

[The feed comes on from strange angle. It seems to be coming from a good height from the ground, and is focused on Naminé poring over putting finishing touches to the food she's working on. She's got ingredients all over the counter of the inn kitchen, with a giant cookbook in the middle of it all.

After making chocolate for Valentine's day, she's gotten an interest in cooking, because there is an art to it. After several failed attempts, she's finishing up a bento she made herself. There are two other containers next to it, all finished. Probably for her traveling party. And three of these are already set to the side. She looks pretty pleased with herself as she finishes the last one, and turns away to clean up.

Cue this feed zooming in and... stealing one of those sandwiches.

And then a Vaporeon comes up and grabs like several of those fish shaped cookies.

And then a Pidgeot lumbers over quietly and takes half of those cut berries.

When Naminé turns back, she looks at where her finished creation was. Then looks up at the feed, spotting one of the perpetrators with a pout.]

Salty!

Togetiiiic!

Sounds like he made the choice in the end then, that's good. Princess and I talked it over before she evolved, too.

[He casts a smile his starter's way, patting her head affectionately]

If you two ever wanna practice new moves, Princess is a pro.

[Sea jumps to his trainer's side at that, tail wagging . Can we, trainer? Canwecanwecanwe--]

Seems he's up for it. Alright.

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Great! Wanna do that now then?

[Just to be sure, since she did seem to be in the middle of something]

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Sure. They could use the exercise, anyway, after eating all those.

[Give her a minute to clean up.]

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Okay, sounds good. Right, Princess?

[There's a cheerful trill from her, and then Ven moseys over to help with clean-up. Many hands makes less work, right?]

[action]

[Did Dadqus make him do chores before-- she leaves him to wipe the counter as she recalls the already sleeping Shell (who fell asleep in his dishbowl, no less) back into his pokeball, doing the same for Sky. That just leaves Salty to hover over her like a tiny shoulder-bird-pokemon-angel-thing and Sea to happily follow her like a puppy.]

Thanks.

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

No problem, happy to help out.

[Wiping that counter like a pro, aw yeah. No doubt Master Dadqus taught them how to clean up after themselves]

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Sob, we really need a Dadqus. She finishes up by stowing away the cooked food in the fridge for later before letting Sea hop into her arms.]

So where do we go?

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Oh yes, we certainly do. And Ven smiles at that, remembering how Princess used to hop all over him]

There's an open area I've used for training with the others just outside town, I think there'd be fine. Easy to get back and we shouldn't be in anybody's way either.

[Sea reaches up to lick his trainer's cheek, and she giggles before nodding.]

Okay.

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Alright, off we go then!

[Cue him starting a march...and yes, he actually is marching, toward their destination]

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Oh my God, she can't stop giggling. She just follows him, though Salty hovers just behind him and seems to be matching his marching by swaying in the air side to side.]

What were you doing before you found me in the kitchen?

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Mostly trying to figure out what to get a friend for her birthday. She's...kind of hard to shop for.

[Princess chimes in her agreement there, tail swishing like a banner behind her]

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Ah, the subject of birthdays. Something she can't relate to.]

Who?

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Do you want one, Nammers? Ven would be happy to celebrate it]

Lightning. Her birthday's on the ninth.

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Lea wanted to give her one too, but she and Roxas figured their existences weren't something worth celebrating anyway.]

Oh.

[And she looks thoughtful.]

Is there anything she particularly likes to do? A hobby or anything?

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Silly Nobodies, you make your friends happy by being, and that's worth celebrating. Someday, Ven'll get that notion to stick]

I'm...not too sure. I know she's a soldier and she trains a lot, but she doesn't talk much about things she likes.

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Convince Roxas first. He's more stubborn.]

How about something to help her train?

[action] 1/2

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Ven's been working on it, slowly but surely. He's pretty sure he can get away with celebrating, just...not a big party]

Hey, that'd be great!

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

...But what kinda stuff do they have in this world for people?

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Stop applying logic on her. Hm.]

Well, there has to be something. I'm not really sure myself, I've never fought before.

[There are trainers dressed up like Karate Masters so there's gotta be something for human fighting here.]

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Nammers]

Wow, really? D'you use magic then?

[Easily distracted, yes he is]

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[A pause. Salty stops her floaty-marching to hover again near her trainer. No sad thoughts, trainer!]

... kind of.

[action]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

...Bad topic? It's okay, we can talk about something else.

[action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Mm, no, it's okay.

[She figures she should stop hiding things. Better people knew about it from her than from the Organization.]

Has Aqua told you anything?
