Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

His thanks and slight joke caused Kaya to pause a moment. She blinked at him before laughing at the morbid joke. Well Im all for a bit of meat in the pot but maybe not fingers, she said through her light laughter. She stayed by his side as she watched him get the hang of cutting in that manner. Behind them she heard Magneton chirp happily, glancing back and grinning at the happy Pokemon. Despite not having much help his Pokemon seemed happy and well taken care of. Most of them, some a little grumpier but each had their own personality. His comment on the major metropolises in Kanto and Johto brought a rueful grin. She had heard a few nefarious rumors about Saffron. Hell there were similar ones about Celadon only making her glad she had moved on and never deigned to return. Though she did often wonder about Mrs. Irazuka and how she fared with her restaurant. Id take this ranch over a big city any day. I prefer open spaces, Kaya admitted with a rueful grin. She had barely paid attention to how close they were when she taught him how to chop. It was no closer than Mrs. Irazuka had gotten when teaching Kaya. Constantly correcting her hand placement, her worry manifesting into irritation. Though the realization of their proximity was quickly dawning on her as she felt the warmth radiate from his body, the clean and masculine scent of him. Yes she was painfully aware of how close they were but she couldnt just jerk away suddenly, that would lead to another sharp moment of embarrassment. Thankfully Aydin remedied it with the suggestion she fill the pot up to boil, urging her on with the gentle bump of his hip. Kayas ears burned again but she took the hint and moved away. Stupid, stupid girl. It was oddly hard to want to move though, even with that image still splayed in her mind. She enjoyed the warmth of his side, the feel of his hand under hers. Still she knew she had to get out of there. Kaya gave a laugh as he spoke of his Typhlosion. And you might end up burning this house downthough I guess the pot would be boiling then, she said with another little laugh. If he could make morbid jokes about chopping his fingers off why not a joke about the house burning down? Kaya did as asked and filled up the pot for him to toss in the cut up vegetables. Then she simply moved back and let him work. Soon enough the savory smell of stew filled the air. Enough so Pikachu stopped munching on candies to jump up onto her shoulder and sniff towards the pot. Smells goo huh Pikachu? Kaya said with a bright grin and scratched the mouse under his chin. Chyaaa! He responded in delight. Kaya moved away from the kitchen to join Aydin at the table as he complimented her hair products and lamented about his hair. Just the products he meant she was certain. They did smell nice. Though before she could respond about hair products he made his offer of a drink. Kaya hesitated a moment. Alcohol was a very rare luxury. While she did enjoy it she didnt get the chance too very often. Uhmsure, I mean, nowait She frowned at herself before laughing at her own blundering. Sorry. Yes, I would like a drink. Ill admit I dont drink too much, any extra money I had usually goes to nice shampoo and conditioner, she added still laughing a little. Youre welcome to use them if you dont mind smelling like a girl. She glanced at his hair that he lamented about. It didnt seem bad. A handsome shade of dark blue. Her stomach did a little flip as she remembered it plastered to his face, heavy and wet. I was thinking of going to Silvertown in a day or so anyways to get a couple more shirts and pants, I could get you some if you want. In a less feminine scent too, she said with an amused wink.
