EVERYTHING THAT KILLS ME

MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE

Stellar finished her meal in a decent pace, making sure her bowl is clean, making sure that nothing is left behind, because leaving food behind is such a waste, and such habits are disastrous back then. The meal is wonderful; Sae knows what the right temperatures are, and her Archeops have cooked enough to know how long it takes. Their little family, their little system that had kept them alive.

("Where will we sleep?")

"It depends," Stellar answered easily, walking over to the sand wall that Nick's Pokemon had pulled up. Then, she put her ear against it, and listened.

It's quiet.

Quiet with no howls of rage, much like how her feelings have been. She is calm, now, and the desert seems to mirror her mood.

"I'm sleeping outside," she smiled at Nick, "If you want, you can sleep inside, Up to you, really." Gently, she tapped the sand wall, before looking over to Alligator. "Could you please lower down the wall?"

Behind them, Aria shifted with a grunt, slowly walking over to join Stellar. The Aggron knows what Stellar is looking forward to, after all. Lily began to dim her lights, giving everything a sleepy, preparing to sleep atmosphere. The Sawsbuck, in one corner, laid down, eyes still on Nick, but the wariness is less now. Sae curled beside the Sawsbuck, and the tw Archeops ruffled their feathers, before tucking in beside each other.

Notes

Sorry for the lateness. Was just finishing up my finals. Oh, and I think we can end this thread soon, maybe in a post or two. Stellar is going out to sleep under the stars, and then we will move on to the next morning. Will that be alright with you?

Nickol's Krokorok looked at his trainer for the confirmation to comply. After a small nod his bars would fall and open the exit to the desert. Nick took a couple steps forward as he could feel the chill of night. He was thankful for the secondary wall Alligator put up for the cave dwellers. It was night time - definitely time for sleep. Jylarl was actually out like a light - along with Nick's other Pokemon. So much for them coming to his aid if anything were to happen in this desert. He had a single PokeBall on his hip - which contained Cero. Nick did not have no business out in the cold desert, but it is funny sometimes to think of the things women will lead you to do. He pulled his hands inside his sweater sleeve a tad bit as he pulled on his leather trench coat. He would walk from behind the wall and look outside at the exit which Stella had probably left right now. This girl was so troubled, helping her was beyond his ideas and his wishes. But he would comfort her, if only for one night. 

"It's freezing Stella, why are you out here?"

ooc: it's okay. my muse is going through le block right now. sorry as well for the wait and terrible post

The stars were brilliant.

They glowed in a way that can never be seen in cities, not when there's so much light pollution. Here, though, in the desert is only darkness and sand, and in midst of all this silence are the stars, gleaming in their brilliance.

And they reflect in Stellar's eyes, twinkling softly and giving her the angelic, soft look that had fooled too many people for too many times.

Aria had walked behind Stellar. Where the woman go is where the Aggron will go; they will go to the end of the world, joined in the hip, if necessary. The metal beast dropped Stellar's cloak on her, wrapping her trainer in the warmth. A grunt, and she dropped Stellar's spare cloak on Nick as well, the cloth landing with a soft 'thump'.

Aria stared at Nick; while she knows Nick cannot help Stellar in his current condition, she appreciated the efforts, and this is her own, rough way of showing gratitude, by making sure the male trainer did not freeze to death. A warrior's gratitude, if you will, a blink from Aria's piercing eyes as she scooped Stellar upwards in her arms, allowing the girl to sit there. Stellar's eyes are still fixed on the stars, as if she didn't feel the movement of being scooped up at all.

All relaxed and nothing left for this day.

"Aren't the stars pretty?" she asked Nick quietly, before turning to him and offering a soft smile, "When there's no sandstorm, I sleep here, like this, with Ria. It's....safer."

Safer from nightmares, safer from memories. Here, in the open area where everything and nothing started once upon a time.

"I told you, you can sleep anywhere you like," she pulled the cloak tighter around her, "Like you said, it's freezing out here." But she have gone worse, and cold is a bitter reminder and sweet lullaby.

Notes

Well, I think we can end in the next post or two. No worries, we both been busy.
