nagi kengamine | deadman wonderland ( johto! )

[noctuam]

[ and— there. his first batch of eggs as a breeder. the weather's perfect, he's in whatever route of choice, kneeling beside his bulbasaur and rolling up his sleeves to get them comfortable around camp. aster's making sure of that, using her vines to careful move one of the two eggs together in a comfy ball of blankets. ( nagi's blankets, but aster's been so motherly that— well, it hits his heart! as a father and a husband himself, how can he say no? ) ]

I'm sure they'll be fine, Aster— They won't be feeling the chills so soon, I promise you that.

[ they were warm blankets, after all . . . his voice is an artificially synthesized one, leveled and near-emotionless despite the easily read emotion in his expression as he smiles, giving a soundless laugh. she gives a coo, half worry and half happy; was she doing a good job??? even if the eggs weren't her's to begin with, as this breeder's first partner ( and her first friend!! ), she'd foster them until they've found the right homes!!

even if they were just two eggs, they were eggs he's had to go through more than two cycles to get, so hopefully, they'll be promising! taking out his notepad, he begins to scratch out a rough draft of the should be move list, flipping in between the parents page, grandparents, and the one he's writing out now, comparing and following some simple breeding rules—

aster senses something, someone, other than themselves zoning into where they were, and as the mother hen she is, she immediately takes on a fierce stance in front of the eggs, trying to pinpoint the little stepping and scratching of small sounds getting closer, giving a reptilian growl to alarm her trainer . . . alas, it's not so alarming as it is both cute and becoming a normal thing. ]

Ah— Again?

[ the last time she did that, it was a harmless little caterpie in the trees . . . if it were a trainer, well— hopefully they wouldn't scare them off so soon! ]

/excited screeching noises oh my god a Nagi

[ladywithnovoice]

[The sounds are twofold, as a matter of fact- two sets of paws on the ground and the sound of snuffling. Soon enough, there's a pair of Growlithe heads peeking out from the bushes. Breach perks up immediately at the scene and bounds closer, protective mama not even really recognized- yes hello how are you all oh gosh there are eggs this is so exciting hello hello!!!]

[Crash is a bit more civil minded and just throws her head back to start calling for their trainer.]

[Give Red a minute, Nagi- she has to push her way through all these trees and bushes to find her dogs and what's gotten them so worked up.]

oh heheh ;u;

[noctuam]

[ aster just kind of stink eyes at this. two growlithes, is all— and one much too excited for her tastes! one of her vines coils around the eggs, while the other just kind of reaches out to give a little "shoo". like you need to back up.

by nagi's point of view— they seemed too domesticated, and with the other calling . . . he's almost positive it's a call for its partner. he holds a hand out to aster, kneeling to place it against her back for comfort. ]

Look at them— They won't bite, Aster.

[ not unless ordered to, at least. but nagi liked to think that they wouldn't bite at all ( all that benefit of the doubt, just look at those friendly puppy faces, ect ) until!! after a few moments, out of the greenery comes a young woman! see aster?? it's a trainer, nothing to worry about! ( in which nagi smiles, rubbing the back of his neck; she's so protective . . . ]

Pardon me— I take it they're yours?

[ladywithnovoice]

[Breach seems to be having some trouble understanding Aster's problem here- he is much too much a dog to the core to understand why people wouldn't want him immediately in their faces and shedding hair everywhere. He's still trying to lean over and sniff in her direction when he notices his trainer is there and immediately bolts over in her direction instead.]

[The sound of the voice makes Red startle back a bit, eyes going wide before she slowly relaxes. There's a nod before she goes through the pockets of her large coat to pull out the 'Gear. She's not typing to ignore him, something that shows when she holds it out to him. Her words are written there.]

Yes. Sorry if they bothered you.

( 1 / 2 )

[noctuam]

[ nagi's patient, and only seems to watch and wonder. when the gear is held out to him, he tilts his head slightly and carfeully holds his hand out in return, only to hold the gear with the tip of his fingers.

— voiceless. ]

[noctuam]

[ it's obvious she would have said something if she could, and at this point, nagi's features soften further with empathy. he's been there, after all. if it weren't for some tech-savvy comrades, he'd still be there.

he smiles, giving what should sound like laughter ( albeit it silent, a few scratchy sounds from his synthesizer ), before shaking his head. ]

No, I wouldn't worry.

[ he gives a calmer look down at aster who looks up at him, stares a good long while— before giving a rebellious huff, loosening her vine grip on the eggs, and letting both them and the growlithes be. ( that doesn't stop her from sitting next to the eggs, though! ) ]

Aster's just protective, is all— It's our first promising batch.

[ hah, he totally forgot himself and introduced his pokemon first . . . he clears his throat!! ]

I'm Nagi. Nagi Kengamine.

[ladywithnovoice]

[Breach is cuddled up to the eggs in a heart beat, practically beaming at Aster with positively no shame. On the bright side, he's fluffy and warm because of that trademark fire type heat going through him. At least now he keeps a bit more still save for the wagging tail.]

[In contrast, Crash doesn't leave her trainer's side so easily. She instead keeps a careful watch over the whole little gathering. A perfect guard-dog. Her ears flicker back for a moment, still not quite used to the strange unnatural sound of that voice, but she doesn't show any signs of aggression.]

[Red isn't as bothered by the synthesized voice. It's actually almost a relief for her- she'd given up the idea of ever having a proper voice for herself. Sometimes things just get stolen and you don't get them back. Yet knowing there's someone with something like that...]

[The sound of keys clicking is a shortlived sound. Just three before Red holds it up with the screen facing Nagi and her other hand extended out to him.]
