Welcome to Gaia! ::

Larrimore would slash down his final holographic Zubat as the trio of hybrids showed up. Turning around he would sheath his sword and give them a nod. "Blizzard. Tristen. Keiko. You're different." He said, observing Keiko's hybridism but still knowing it to be her. Despite not interacting much with the three he knew all their names well, the big man possessing a decent memory. "You could tell, huh?" He said to Blizzard, but his tone said he wasn't surprised that the bird made this observation.

"A great deal of things, Cold One." Larrimore replied, putting both hands on his hips as he faced his fellow hybrid. "Inadequacy being one of them. Wishing to know that my home is still safe another." He admitted to Blizzard. "I know I should do more but I don't and that bothers me. My younger, more ambitious self, would be ashamed of the man I am now." At least Larrimore was being frank with the Articuno hybrid, something they shared in common.

"Then why don't you?" I asked. "I don't know if back in Kalos in your whole knightly regimen you were demanded that you didn't move unless you were told to move, but over in these parts, there is a thing called initiative that we all here like to take." I said. "If you want to make more of a difference, do so. Don't wait on someone to say something or wait until you start regretting that you're not in the fight more. If I didn't know better, I'd just about say that's the one thing that even Beau has on you."

"The proverbial fish out of water. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt." I said. "One thing that you are going to have to come to grips with Larrimore is that while you are not expected to discard everything about you as long as you are here, in fact far from it, you are going to have to realize that there is a world much bigger than what you were brought up in and it doesn't revolve around it. The sooner you do that, the easier it gets, and the more that you can...well...loosen up a bit." I said. "I come from a gym in Johto where its old-timey discipline, get up early, go to bed late, I haven't really had the need for team work beyond my own Pokemon, and...well, had my worldview shattered more than I care to admit, but hey, I think I'm better for it." I said with merely a shrug as I continued to lean up against the doorframe. "Granted, its no military regimen but its still all the same situation, I'd think. Its just time and a little opening up to who you have here."

Larrimore would listen to Blizzard with great intent, actually taking in what he was saying and considering it. If there was one thing he was good at was listening. "You make good points." He said with a nod. "Tell me, Cold- Blizzard, why do you stay? What is your purpose?" He asked, still sounding a soldier searching for a line to fall into.

Larrimore would listen to both Keiko and Blizzard, nodding to himself a bit and giving off a toothy smile. "Thank you, both of you. You Keiko for reassuring me that we do the right thing and you Blizzard for presenting me with the reality we must face. " He did. "While I moped I forgot about the ever present danger that is currently Lydandre. I'm ashamed."

With that said he kept looking at Blizzard, as if wanting to say something but unsure if he should. "I would like to spar with you one day, Cold One. " He finally spat out.

Feeling a bit like an intruder, Keiko left the men to their talk and went to the kitchen to grab some food for her Pokemon. She took it to the main lobby and had a little bowl set up for each of her Pokemon that she would then let out all at once.

She'd pet each of her Pokemon as they ate, making sure they were relaxed and happy - though some were happier than others.

Keiko's sense of smell is a bit stronger than what it was when she was a human, so she had to hold her nose shut a bit before Koffing started dancing around her. "Hey there, little guy," Keiko said calmly, knowing that Koffing couldn't help but secrete noxious gas. "Are you Night's Koffing, or is your trainer somebody else?" she asked, looking up at him as he danced around her.
