As in 'UNABLE' [Soul]

[...silver]

How he could run like that without feeling any pain was a mystery to him, he guessed it had just reached the point where pain was so bad that he wasn't able to feel it. Or to think about it. He didn't have any need of stopping to check, not even to see if there was anyone following him. He doubted it, though it was good not to take any chances. He didn't have any need of facing the Champion. And those other twos. They would probably just ignore him. He couldn't imagine why Gold and Soul should have any needs of looking for him. But he could imagine why Red should have; though, if Red was following him, he'd probably have been caught by now.

He stopped on a hill and looked back at the city, he had it pretty far away; but somehow it seemed so close, with the fire and smoke, and such a gloomy feeling hanging around it. The forests, and areas around the city lay untouched, but silent as if they knew what had happened. Not daring to do anything, as if the fire then would spread to them. He couldn't even see any people around. Turning to take a view on the big forest that lay before him. With no end, it seemed. Ilex Forest. Not wanting to lose any time, he moved again. Towards the forest, and hopefully somewhere to hide. He wouldn't be unfindable, but he could just hope nobody would look. They should be too busy in Goldenrod with fighting. And when the fight was over there would be a hell of a mess to clean up.

He bit his underlip while he moved into Ilex. He knew that attack would happen, sooner or later. But he didn't know Team Rocket would do it this early. How long had it been since they were beaten last? He didn't like it, it was still too early in his head. What would their next move be... Even he hadn't heard of that one. Maybe they would … No. He shook his head, that'd be stupid. Even for them. Though; the plan about attacking Goldenrod like that almost called for getting all strong trainers in the regions on their neck. Team Rocket knew that, but why the hell would they then do it?! He had never really thought of this before now, and it almost killed his head. If he had stayed he would probably know it by now. He narrowed his eyes, almost as if he was scaring something away with a gaze. He disconnected from the thought of Team Rocket, he had other problems now. Looking around; Ilex. But where the hell in Ilex was he? He hadn't exactly paid attention while walking through the forest. Another problem to take care of later.


Sighing, mostly of tiredness, the red haired boy sat and leaned back against a tree. Silver had just called Haunter back, as the last of his Pokemons. He had been checking their condition, and health. Feraligatr, Murkrow and Rhydon looked just fine, with a few scratch here and there. Sneasel and Haunter was the only bad looking, but they would survive, until he could get to somewhere that had potions. Though; he doubted he ever would get that far himself. Having his head busy until now, made him free from the thought of pain. But now, when he could sit down and rest, just for a minute, the pain from the wounds on his side and shoulder shot him down. Every part of him felt so heavy. Even his vision was beginning to blur a little, but he couldn't tell if it was because he was tired... or something else. He wasn't bleeding as badly any more, the wounds had finally time to try clot. But it wouldn't be surprising if infection attacked them. They had been through the hell in Goldenrod, and the air in the city wasn't exactly clean any more. And Silver didn't care at all, not even to give them some air by taking off his jacket a minute or two.. He had checked up on his Pokemons, that was more than enough for him. He refused to even look at his own problems, before his Pokemons was completely fine. Right now; he could do nothing for either.

He sat there for very long, with just a very distance look in his eyes. Not focusing on anything, not even the air. Everything seemed so far away from him. Going through what happened in Goldenrod in his head. Realizing how powerless he was, Team Rocket would come up with tougher stuff in the future. That was for sure. Would he even be any good at that time. I need to push myself farther... he thought, it wasn't his Pokemon that lacked of power. It was himself, he had trained from he was born but the last few years had lacked so much. He knew perfectly how to do it, and yet it seemed like he couldn't get the hang of it. And Red... Silver was sure the champion had guessed more about him than the others. Not surprisingly really, people wouldn't see a fly even if it sat on their very head. The Champion was another story. They weren't champions for nothing. If he had guessed, or just had an idea of Silvers connection with Team Rocket. He didn't even dare to think of it. He blinked, the only movement he could make right now. He didn't even have the will right now to try anything else. His thoughts wandering away, and he just sat there almost unable to sense anything around him.

Why didn’t it surprise her that Silver would end up running to a place where it would be almost impossible to find him? Soul followed Flick as she bounded towards the entrance of Ilex Forest, looking back every now and again to check that her trainer was still following her. Soul panted slightly as she came to a stop next to the start of the trees, her body exhausted from the day’s events, all she wanted to do was rest but she knew she had to keep going forward while the trail was still fresh. She gently hugged the egg cradled in her arms closer for a moment, it wasn’t exactly the safest in the forest and it was shrouded in darkness, lost in a permanent night, which would make it hard to navigate. Cradling the egg in one arm for a moment, Soul fished out a Pokéball from her bag before releasing Zion, her Ampharos from the ivory and crimson sphere. At least with Zion with her, she wouldn’t have any problem seeing in the darkness with the glowing ruby gem on his tail. “Okay you two, lead the way.” She informed Flick and Zion, who padded along side by side as they entered the forest, Zion’s tail glowing brightly and Flick snuffling the ground as she walked. Soul didn’t look behind her as she followed after them both, she didn’t have the time to mope at the scenery of destruction.

As always, Ilex forest was dark and gloomy, apart from the space which Zion walked, his tail offering light to the group as Flick led the way, occasionally swerving in a different direction when the scent changed path. Despite her limbs aching from her wounds, Soul carried on and pondered over what she would actually do when she found Silver. Of course, his wounds would be unattended so she would have to help him with that, she guessed he wouldn’t like her doing it but still, she didn’t really care what he would think about the situation, it was something that needed to be done regardless. Also, her mind drifted towards his pokémon for a moment, she had a few potions in her bag if he needed them but that was about all she had in the healing department. She didn’t really use potions often, considering some of her pokémon knew healing moves and a pokecenter was available whenever she went to a different town or city. But she guessed she could give Silver what she could.

After what seemed like hours of walking and stopping every now and again to try and catch her breath and to try and cease the pain a little, Flick suddenly stopped in her tracks, shooting up onto her back paws and her ears twitching. “What is it Flick?” She asked the Furret, hoping that her walking would come to an end soon, she was getting sick of the travelling while being under pain. “If it isn’t Silver, I’m leaving this damn forest.” She muttered under her breath, knowing full well she wouldn’t do that but she was annoyed enough to say things she didn’t exactly mean. With a sudden movement, Flick bounded off to the left with Zion following after her, Soul suddenly found herself plunged in darkness and she chased after Zion’s tail light, clutching onto the egg tightly and praying she didn’t fall over. Suddenly, the light bounced over something and as Soul got closer, she realised it was a bush of some kind, there didn’t seem to be a way around it, great. “Gah!” Soul cried as she half jumped, half fell through the bush, making it through to the other side in a very ungraceful fashion though just managing to catch herself before she fell over. Panting, Soul was relieved to find she hadn’t fallen over and that the egg wrapped in her red top was safe and snug still, also, Zion had stopped but had his back to her, she couldn’t see Flick just yet.

Hardly a second later, after composing herself, Soul walked over to Zion, catching sight of what he was staring at and also what Flick was standing in front of, Silver. Soul let out a small sigh of relief that he was finally found, though her suspicions were correct that he hadn’t even attempted to tend to his wounds, instead he was just sat at the base of a tree. “You sure picked the best place to tend to your wounds.” She said in a rather sarcastic manner, petting Zion on the head and placing the egg down in front of him on top of her jumper, like a little nest. Zion sat down in front of the egg, his tail still glowing in the darkness as Flick bounded over to Soul, receiving a short cuddle in the form of praise before being returned to her Pokéball, her job finished. Soul then went over to crouch in front of Silver, looking him up and down with a slightly worried expression. “I guess suggesting going to get medical help is going to be shot down, huh?” She sighed, if he wanted professional help then he would have gone to it, instead of coming here. Removing her hat and her bag, Soul placed the items next to her, opening the yellow accessory open and glancing up at Silver with a stern look upon her features. “I’m going to clean and bandage your wounds.” She told him with a tone in her voice which basically said that she wouldn’t take no for an answer. Realising with a small blush on her features that to even get to his wounds, the clothing covering his top half would need to be removed she glanced away again, twirling a strand of brunette hair while her cheeks burned a rosy pink. “Um.. Do you want to take off your tops yourself.. Or?” Her voice suddenly dropping to almost a mumble, though probably just loud enough for Silver to hear.

Normally Silver would have noticed the sudden appearance of someone before they even got there, and it took Soul to talk to him before he noticed there was anyone other than him here. He could barely stop himself from making a surprised jump when he heard the voice. Even when he slowly turned his head to see who the heck it was, he seemed to distance to get who it was. Only when she talked once more he recognized her. Shit. So luck hated him even more today it seemed, sure she probably just wanted to help, but she could still put him into more troubles than he already was in. Leaning back his head, and letting out an annoyed sigh, clearly showing he wasn't exactly pleased with company. Knowing that she wouldn't just go away if he told her to. It wouldn't go that easily.

“I’m going to clean and bandage your wounds.”

His head quickly turned to look back at her, maybe a little too quickly because it gave him a small headache - that he of course ignored totally. ,,I'm not going to take any care from you.'' He told her, knowing that she wouldn't accept a no. As much wouldn't he accept her to treat him in any way. He was about to tell her, 'not before my Pokemon is healed' but he wasn't sure what would come out of this. Growing up with 'caring for your Pokemons health and well-being is the same as showing weakness'. He wasn't sure how the 'other world' looked on this, but he definitely wouldn't show anyone out here or there any weakness. Even if a wind could tip him over right now. Soul just asked him to takes his tops of, as if she hadn't heard him. Ignoring him for sure. ,,You're not going away are you...?'' He asked her bluntly as if he hadn't heard her question either. His head was spinning, should he accept her help, so he could hurry up and go find something for his Pokemons. Or just try to get away from her and get that help right here and now? He tried to rose but quickly found it impossible, and shrank back against the tree. Now keeping his eyes on a distance somewhere, not believing himself that he had to take help... from her.

Fine... The quicker they could get this done the quicker could he go and find something for his Pokemons. Just a little longer. He thought, as if they could hear him in their Pokeballs. Knowing that it'd probably be a lot less painful to have Soul helping him, he started to unzip his jacket. He'd rather die than letting anyone undress him. Revealing his skin, he looked down at the only of the wounds he could see. It didn't exactly look like a nice one. His eyes flicked a little; this wasn't the first wound of serious. All over him was scars, small as well as bigger ones. Small scratch to direct slashes, and one that could be from fire or something. Silver narrowed his eyes for a second, he couldn't even remember where he had gotten the half of them. The some just brought memories that he had happily forgotten. Those two new ones would probably just be more to the collection. Though; he probably wouldn't forget how he got those.

[Soul •]

Soul shook her head slightly when Silver spoke again, she had ignored him when he had told her he didn’t want her help, not like she cared what he thought. She had to bite back saying something pretty nasty then but she forced it away, snapping at him wouldn’t get him any better now, would it? “Sorry to disappoint you but I’m not going anywhere.” She said bluntly, knowing this was going to be a whole lot of trouble because of his injuries and his sharp attitude. Soul watched carefully as Silver tried to get up, though hardly even making it to his feet before staggering back down again to his position on the ground. “That was a stupid move..” She muttered quietly, rolling her caramel eyes because of the redheads actions. However, Soul found herself quiet relieved when Silver slowly started to come around, though clearly hesitant as he did as he was told, removing the clothing that was in the way of the wounds. Soul found herself looking at her ground though in slight embarrassment, waiting until she heard him shrug the clothes off before she looked back up at him. She couldn’t help but notice the amount of scars already all over the top half of his body, her eyes widening for merely a second in shock before forcing herself to focus on the new injuries. Though she couldn’t help but wonder what the hell he had been doing to be covered in scars.

Soul was thankful for Zion’s light, causing her to see in the dark Ilex forest, she knew if she didn’t have him here she probably wouldn’t have been able to treat Silver properly due to the lack of light. It didn’t take too long for her to pull out the first aid kit from her sunshine yellow bag and pop it on her lap, pulling out some gloves and pulling them over her hands. Thankfully, she noted that the wounds had all but stopped bleeding now so that would be a less of a hassle, plus, it would mean she would finish quicker. Soul silently poked through the medical kit for a moment, pulling out the bandages she would need, she gathered she would need a fair bit of it, considering she had to wrap it in awkward places. She didn’t look back at Silver before going through her bag again, pulling out a bottle of water and placing it on the grass before placing two potions next to it. “Here, you can have these to use later on.” She told him before pulling out a hand towel, unscrewing the top of the water bottle and picking it up. She paused for a moment, glancing up at him for a brief couple of seconds and then crawling over to his right side so she could get to his wounds easily without leaning over him. “This will sting, alright?”

After pouring some water onto the towel, she steadily poured some of the water onto the wound on his shoulder area. She knew she was really supposed to clean things like this under running water but this was the best that she had to offer in the current situation. Soul concentrated on the task at hand now, gently using the wet towel to dab away the blood around the wound area, getting it clean. After pouring a little more water onto the towel, she tipped some more from the bottle onto the shoulder wound, bracing herself for possible curse wounds because of the sting that was bound to shock Silver. “If only this was as easy as healing pokémon..” She sighed truthfully, at least that way she could have given Silver a few squirts and be done with it. After her careful cleaning of his shoulder wound had finished, she placed down the hand towel, which was red on one side because of the blood, as well as the bottle. Soul moved onto the next task, reaching over to grab a roll of bandage and started to wrap it around the wound in the difficult place. She was silent in concentration as she wrapped the ivory bandages around the area, making sure it was secure and that it would do its job before letting out a soft sigh. Now she just had the injury to his side which needed tending to, then.. well, she wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to do. It wasn’t like Silver wanted her here in the first place after all, but she was tired and hurting herself, surely he wouldn’t mind her company while she rested?

[...silver]

Silver just stayed silence, not even biting back when she comment when he had tried to get up. He didn't even pay any kind of attention as she prepared, pulling on some gloves or something. Was all this preparation really necessary?! He finally looked back when she pulled something out f her bag, his eyes quickly fell on two Potions. So this was some use after all. He caught her brief glance, and returned it expressionlessly. As if he wanted to tell that he didn't care if it stung, but not showing that either. He knew he wasn't a rock, nobody was that... Though he wished...

When she started to clean the wound on his shoulder he found it harder to stay where he should be, than ignoring the pain. This way way below what he would let anyone do. He had to forcefully bit his underlip, not letting out any sound; not just of pain, but annoyance that he could feel it. The pain. He had tried it before, his scars was a proof of that, but trying it before didn't make it less painful. He cursed, but there came no sound as his lips formed the wounds that didn't came out. Once more he leaned back and looked up, at the trees, keeping his head slightly to one side so Soul had more space to work on. Though he wasn't exactly happy being helped, there were no sense it making her work harder than it already was. Not when he already had agreed on getting help.

She had stopped, probably tired too he guessed. He wasn't the only one with wounds. And she wasn't exactly used to that kind of things, down there in Goldenrod was she? It took on the psychic energy too, he guessed. He was still staring at the trees, his vision beginning to slightly blur once more. He blinked, trying to ignore it. He was probably just tired or something. ,,Why.'' He suddenly and simply said after some time. ,,Why should you be helping me?'' He said it plain out as if it was just one of his usually sharp comments.

[Soul •]

Soul glanced silently at the next wound she would be dealing with, the one on his side. She didn’t know how he had gotten this one, though she had witnessed the bite on his shoulder being dealt by the same Houndoom which had attacked her. She was just about to ask him when she was cut off by his own words, her eyes widened for a moment at his question, her mouth closing as she decided not to ask him how he got the other injury yet. Soul stayed deathly silent, not exactly sure what to say, it was weird that she had given herself a reason back at Goldenrod to leave and chase after him but now that he had asked her, it was like she couldn’t even remember. Lost in thought of what to say, Soul started to clean up his last wound, using the same method as before only using the opposite side of the towel, which didn’t have blood all over it. “Why shouldn’t I be helping you?” She replied with a question of her own, unsure of what else to say at the moment and she simply continued on with the task at hand.

It didn’t take too long to finish up, though it took a little longer to bandage around his waist considering he was sat near a tree and Soul didn’t really want to move him around. Even so, she did it and started placing the left over bandage back in the first aid kit and snapping off the gloves, plopping them in a pile with the blood stained hand towel which she was positive she would have to throw away, considering she couldn’t be bothered to wash it from the troublesome stains. “All done.” She told him, sitting herself down on the ground in front of Silver and glancing back at Zion, who was calmly watching the forest around them with his ruby red tail still gleaming. She stayed silent for a few moments, watching Zion and the egg which was wrapped up in her jumper right in front of the Ampharos where he kept an eye on it. “I guess.. I wanted to make sure that you were going to be okay.” She murmured turning her gaze back to look at Silver before glancing at the ground, she guessed he deserved some sort of answer after all, plus the words were sort of back in her mind. “And also when you helped me back in Goldenrod you got hurt as well, I don’t think I would have forgave myself if I let your run off and things got.. worse for you.” Soul admitted rather hesitantly but truthfully, preparing herself for the possible back lash of Silver’s possible harsh words in response to her reason for coming out here. “A-And there’s nothing wrong with that! I just wanted to make sure you were going to be alright..” She spluttered out, with a hint of a blush on her cheeks, her caramel gaze still on the ground.

In her embarrassment, Soul placed her legs in front of her, which caused her to wince a little in pain from her injured thigh. She crossed her arms over her knees and nuzzled her head into her uninjured arm, making her form into a tight ball almost, to hide her slightly embarrassed face from Silver and silently hoping he didn’t decide to say something horrible after she told him she cared about his well being. Her whole body ached and screamed at her to rest, or at least sit or lay down in a comfortable position but she stubbornly refused to uncurl from her face hiding form, her head resting on her good arm. “I’m going to stay here..” She said quietly, informing Silver that she wasn’t leaving straight away like she was sure he probably wanted her to. Personally, she wasn’t sure she would make it very far if she wanted to or not, the best option for her as well as Silver, would be to stay here until they could at least get out of Ilex Forest safely.

She just wanted to be sure he'd be alright. That girl was weird, and Silver was just about to tell her, but the only thing that came out was a simply ,,Okay.'' nothing else. He was too tired to think of any other words, and for some reason he didn't feel like saying more. He didn't even look at her while she answered him, he had still his head turned against the sky and the trees. ,,You worry too much about people you shouldn't worry about.'' he mumbled. Not caring whether she actually could hear him or not. The comment was pretty much meant on himself, though it wouldn't surprise him if she was worried for more than him right now. Energy that could be saved for something else. Besides, if she wanted to stay somewhat out of this she should avoid him most as possible. But he didn't mention that, it'd only cause too much explanation. Explanation that he didn't have any need of letting out anywhere.

He looked down once more again, it was hard for his neck to keep the same position for too long. It hurt a bit. He wouldn't be able to move out today, that was for sure. He hated the thought, but at least he could maybe gain enough strength to use those potions on the worst looking of his Pokemons. The night would be cold, he should probably find some way to lit some fire somehow. Crobat wasn't hurt at all, but how much could it be able to collect, Murkrow too. Feraligatr could might be some use in collecting too. Rhydon simply wasn't an option, and the rest of them was not fresh enough to just send out. But that wasn't the big problem in it; how in the world should he get the fire?... Normally he would just make it himself, somehow. But he couldn't do that now.

He barely heard when Soul spoke again, but caught the meaning of the word. Staying? He scanned her a little with his gaze that had turned from silver to dull grey, it was surely easy to see he was not by full health right now. ,,You should go get some help for yourself.'' he said as the only reason he could think of. She'd be better off somewhere where she could get proper help. And not in this forest with him. The thought of that she probably wasn't able to go hadn't hit him, he couldn't see her properly anyway. She had already paid him back from helping her, more to be exact. Because he didn't want to be paid back. Actually, it should be him paying so much back; more than they probably could imagine.

[Soul •]

Staying nuzzled into her arm, Soul pondered over what Silver had just said, about her worrying too much about people she shouldn’t be worrying over. To be honest, she didn’t think she worried about people too much, only when she had a reason to be worried, or if she knew them or something. For example, she worried about her family sometimes but that was normal when you were away from them, plus her brothers and father were horrible cooks, it wouldn’t surprise her if they hadn’t had a decent meal in months or if they burnt the house down trying to cook. She worried about her friends, Gold especially considering he was her best friend and she had a right to worry about him, especially in the situation that happened today. She cared about her pokémon, of course, plus like right now, she worried about Silver. That wasn’t too much was it? In her mind, that was a perfectly acceptable bunch of people she worried and cared about, she would have liked to say this back to him but she found it wasn’t worth it. Personally, Soul was a little bit stunned that Silver had not come up with something meaner to say to her, clearly the day’s events had worn him out if he wasn’t able to insult her properly.

A sudden chilly night crept up Soul’s spin, causing her slender frame to shiver for a moment, clearly the cold wind could enter the forest when the sunlight could not. She wondered how she could even be cold, when she realised that her red jumper had been given to the egg so that it could keep warm instead. Soul guessed she could brave the cold in this situation; something more important than her needed that jumper more than she did, plus, Zion was with the egg as well so she knew it would be getting warmth and protection from the electric type. Had Silver put his own shirts on yet? If not, Soul was pretty sure he was going to freeze his butt off with this chill. Soul silently peeked out over her arm, looking to see if the redhead had done the smart move and gotten dressed. Lo and behold, he was still semi-naked, why didn’t it surprise her?

She smiled a little into her arm when Silver mentioned she should go get help for herself, it felt strange though, hearing him say words which weren’t laced with dislike and with an aim to hurt. “I should..” She agreed, still peeking over the top of her arm so he couldn’t see the little grin on her features. “But I’m not going to leave.” Did he even know she probably couldn’t make it half way through the forest before collapsing? The time when she should have been resting after losing a lot of her blood as well as suffering from the events that happened today, had been used to just get here and now that she was here, she didn’t think she could move very far. A shiver caused her body to shake again, her body gave a twinge in pain and Soul winced, burying her face in her arm again. This really sucked, it hurt when she moved and she didn’t really want to sit still until she was capable of getting to the closest town or city, who knows how long that would take.

Soul pondered over what time it was for a moment, the change of temperature in the wind had led her to believe that it was possibly night, she hadn’t looked at the sky or time before she came into the forest so she wasn’t exactly sure what time it would be around about now. Normally, she would just look for herself but her Pokegear was attached to her bag and her bag was out of her reach, so she didn’t particularly want to reach over and fall on her face because her arms and legs were too weak to hold her up. She sighed slightly as she pondered what to do, she sort of wanted to sleep but another part of her wanted to stay awake to make sure Silver would be okay and just to watch over the area, in case some wild pokémon decided to take advantage of two injured people on its territory. So, she opted to stay awake though a horrible chill caused her to shiver, making her want to curl up even tighter to escape the bitter night air. “Are you cold?” She said suddenly, glancing up curiously at Silver in case it was just her getting the shivers. If not, she was pretty sure she should do something about this, it wouldn’t fare Silver or herself to get too cold in the conditions that they were in.

[...silver]

He could have told himself that; Silver wasn't surprised that she refused to leave. Soul was a stubborn girl, he gave her that - but of course he didn't told her. Though he'd still prefer her to head for somewhere that was not around him. He was about to tell her off one more time but realized he was too tired. He turned his head slightly to gaze at her, though he couldn't really see her properly any more. His eyes was too tired to focus on anything. Very distance. At least he could still keep a somewhat conversation up.

“Are you cold?”

A small sigh, Silver knew what she wanted him to; to take the clothe back on. He changed his gaze to the jacked and t-shirt on the ground. They were still soaked with blood, that now was beginning to try. They'd probably be uncomfortable to wear, but he guessed it was better than catching a cold. He leaned forward, and took out his right arm to reach them but stopped in the middle of his action with a rather waiting expression. As if he suddenly expected to be attacked by something. Cough. Silver quickly moved his free left hand to cover for his mouth, as the coughing grew more violent. He sat there for a few seconds, as it continued. Even when it seemed over, didn't he remove the hand before he was sure he wouldn't start again by the next minute.

He gave an annoyed kind of snort as he looked down at his left hand, blood. He had just coughed some blood up. Giving the blood in his hand a almost evil or rather killing look, he continued his original 'task'. Taking on the t-shirt wasn't something enjoyable, but he somehow manage to. The jacket was easier and he didn't bother to zip it. That should be fine enough for Soul. Once more he took place with his back against the tree. His gaze turned on her, with the expression of 'happy now?'. ,,I guess you're not going away, not even for the night. So I hope you have something to lit fire with, - because I don't - it is going to be a lot more cold than now.'' He suddenly said as his reply to her 'are you cold?'.


((Don't have time to write more right now D: sorreh))

[Soul •]

She knew the idea of putting on clothes which were covered in blood wasn’t exactly ideal, she could sympathize with him on that one, considering she was wearing clothes herself which had traces of the crimson liquid over it. Still, if was going to keep you warm it was something she would rather wear than getting cold. Soul’s eyes widened though as Silver started to cough, worry rushing through her as she found herself unable to move, though she would have liked to move next to him to see if he was okay. She gathered that would a useless question to ask though, considering it was very clear that he was not okay and asking would probably result in a huge death stare or a snappy comment. To be honest, she felt a little clueless on what to do now, if he got any worse then she realised that she may have to get some sort of help, regardless of Silver wanted it or not. Getting some sort of help just for this situation wasn’t as bad as dying.

Soul watched Silver rather carefully, fearful that he was in more trouble than she knew about, she wouldn’t feel the need to watch him if he told her what was wrong but because he refused to let her know if he was in pain or not, she didn’t have any other choice. Soul would have liked to grab his hand and see what he was glaring at after he finished coughing but it would take her a while to get up and move over there, by that time he could have gotten rid of what he was looking at. Soul rolled her caramel eyes slightly, that stubborn idiot, it couldn’t be that horrible to accept her help, could it? She stayed silent when Silver told her about making a fire, that was a pretty reasonable idea, not like she would say that to him and inflate his ego. “Fine.” She murmured, pondering what the best way to get up was. She knew it would be a stupid idea for her to go and get some wood herself but sending Zion out by himself would make her feel guilty, plus she didn’t want to look even weaker in front of Silver. Getting up was much harder than Soul had thought and after slowly managing to get up to her feet, her injured leg painfully gave in, causing her to tumble down ungracefully to the ground in a sitting position.

Silently cursing in her mind and with a tint of an embarrassed blush on her features, she didn’t dare look over at Silver, instead glancing at the ground before looking at Zion, who had scooped up the egg in his flipper like paws and padded over to her with a worried expression on his features. “Do you think you could collect some firewood for me, Zion?” She asked gently, feeling rather horrible at the moment with the guilt of not being able to help, embarrassment for making an idiot of herself and her limbs burning. The electric pokemon nodded slightly, seeming pleased to do something to help as Soul took the egg from him, holding it protectively in her arms. Zion made his way off then, taking his light away with him though Soul could still see the shine of his tail as he plodded around the area, clearly making sure he could still see Soul as he picked up wood. The small area where Soul and Silver were, was suddenly placed in the natural darkness of the forest, glancing around for a moment, Soul wondered what she should do now. An uncomfortable silence hung over the area, she didn’t really like being in such quietness.

A shiver raced through her body again and Soul hoped that the egg wasn’t too cold, though when she touched the shell it actually felt pretty warm. Glancing over in Silver’s direction, she wondered how he was faring, it was odd being in such silence where she couldn’t even hear his breathing. After a moments thought, Soul slowly managed to edge herself closer to him until she was sat on his left side, close but not enough so she was touching him, considering she guessed he would flip out in one way or another if she did accidentally come into contact with him. Feeling slightly more at ease now that she could actually hear breathing, she waited for Zion to return, not having to wait too long until she saw his gleaming light coming closer, before returning back into the little area and placing the wood down in a pile. Soul smiled gently at the Ampharos, who gave the logs a weak Fire Punch, causing it to flicker with orange flames. “Thank you.” She told him honestly before returning him back to the crimson and ivory capsule, his light leaving with him but it was replaced by the glow and warmth of the small fire instead.
