► ninth sketch [Video]

[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!

[She'll push the cook book towards her then, Salty hovering over her trainer's look alike's shoulder curiously. Naminé's got some experience, at least, that she learned here in Johto while mother henning Lea and Isa.]

You can help me cut the berries and make the batter for the cookies again.

[ Nods, looking forward to being of some use. She looks to the berries, reaches, then pauses, turning back to Namine. ]

Oh, right... Do you have any bandages, Namine?

... bandages?

[Of course she does. KH kids aren't. Exactly the safest kids around and almost everyday she finds at least one banged up. Roxas is probably second on her list only next to Lea.]

[ Takes off one of her gloves and shows Namine the loose handkerchief wrapped around her hand with speckles of blood dotting the cloth. ]

It... was an accident with Axel.

Oh no...

[She drops immediately what she's doing and goes nearby to where her bag is, where a baby Skarmory is currently using as a nest while napping. She lifts the (abnormally tinier than normal) bird out of it gently to dig for the pack of bandages she has, before making her way back. ]

How big is the cut?

[ Xion was temporarily distracted by a Pokemon she's seen Leon and Lightning have, but focuses back onto Namine as she got closer. ]

I think he only managed to bite in two or three of his teeth in my hand... [ Looks and sounds sheepish. ] Looks like I'm really not getting a hang of this "trainer" thing if I keep getting hurt like this, huh?

[Either way, she's careful to apply some medicine before wrapping her hand carefully.]

Why did he bite you?

I tried stopping him from beating up this Pokemon too much... I guess he got overconfident after he evolved.

[ Flinches at the medicine. ]

You should have just tried recalling him to his pokeball.

[And she finishes it off. There. Memory Witch, artist, cook and nurse all in one. She's such a homely little thing.]

Thank you. [ Nods, and sighs a little. ] I should have, but... [ She just doesn't like the thought of them being confined in such a place, and she did get use to her Pokemon out and about. ]

Sorry about this.

It's alright. I sort of understand.

... did he protest any further after that?

[ Shakes her head. ] Now he's all quiet and won't look me in the eye. He's waiting outside.

[And she's thoughtful.]

Do you think maybe if he got beaten, his over confidence would go down a little?

Maybe. I don't know. [ She wouldn't try it with Bell, though. If Bell uses that Metronome thing Sora warned her about, who knows what could happen? On the one hand, if he was beaten, he might get all butthurt and even more sour than usual? ]

It won't be good if we leave him like that.

I thought he'd calm down if I just left him alone...

Where is he right now?

Outside.

[Salty hovers immediately to the direction, and Namine coaxes Sea into her arms before heading their way there to look at the pokemon.]

[ Xion walks after them, a bit apprehensive as to what might come around. ]

[She's not planning to get close to Axel, at least, though Salty does hover a good distance above.]

[ Well, hello there, Salty. And Namine, Axel's looking quite different and just staring at you all warily, but he won't look at Xion directly. ]

[... she slowly makes her way over, bending down to be level with the other pokemon. Bright idea, huh. Either way, she's got a water cannon in her hands. Sea's beady eyes just stare at Axel, fish tail swaying a little curiously. YOU HURT HIS TRAINER, YOU GET PURE WATER BLASTED AT YOU, GOOD SIR :|]

... hey.

[Why, yes, she's. Trying to talk to it.]

[ Axel just puffs up his chest a little, almost in defiance, but Salty is seriously making him wary as all hell. Xion's quiet and watching this, hoping Namine doesn't get too close to get hurt. ]

[She digs in the pocket of her coat a little and pulls out a Rawst Berry as a peace offering. Salty lands on a nearby tree and chirps encouragingly.]
