-to slice through stuff, plus leaving a burn on anyone too.”
He pointed over at a nearby rock.
“If you don’t believe me, go take a swing at that rock over there.
Don’t worry about the metal getting warped either, the heat should’ve spread out evenly.”
“…?”
Tilting his head.
“Why would I be trying to melt it? Do you think I’m actively trying to sabotage you or something?”
Sigh.
“I’m *enhancing* it, temporarily of course. Think of it like I put some type of flame enchantment on your sword.
It should be real easier for it-
before spinning around, beaming a frown at Azure.
❝︎ First you tell your opinion on me that I didn’t ask for, now you’re trying to melt my sword? What kind of partnership is this?! ❞
Why else would he heat it up? Vil couldn’t think of a reason.
@ScalyLibrarian “So… Pokémon. You’re not Pokémon is from what I’m hearing.
Then I guess… What are you then?”
He’s not trying to be rude… It’s more of a weird form of curiosity.
“Everyone’s judgmental, people just choose whether to say it out loud.
And maybe… It’s not the worst thing for you to hear someone else’s perspective on you.
Anyways… If this gets too hot or something, just tell me.”
The blue flames on the Typhlosion’s neck suddenly shot up-
It’s just you and your feelings, and no one there to lift you up.”
He let out a huff and shook his head.
“Anyways… Hold still for a minute. I’m gonna do something for you.”
Out of nowhere… He rested his paw onto the back of Villard’s massive sword.
“…Because it is bad?? If you’re gonna get drunk, you do it with other people and have fun.
I ain’t even against drinking, I bring a flask with me on all my missions, but…”
He tilted his head.
“Getting drunk alone? Sheesh, I can’t even imagine anything more miserable.

@HotDrFox “Oh.
Usually I don’t really think about them getting infected… Not unless my wounds are *really* deep.“
He just stood there and let the Delphox do her thing.
“For smaller cuts I usually cauterize them. You know, burn the tissue away? That usually is enough until I get back.”
@ScalyLibrarian “Uh.”
Scratching his head.
“I guess similar in the way I can tell you’re of the same species. Since uh… I’ve *never* seen any Dragon-Types that really look like you before, and her.
Heheh… I guess I don’t have a great frame of reference since I’ve only seen two of ya now.”
@ScalyLibrarian “Pretty sure-! They kinda looked like a smaller version of you, only they had this orangey pattern on them.
This was a while ago, but I think I tossed my hat at them or something, and they were all excited.
I uh, can’t remember any names though.”
@HotDrFox “Alright, alright. If you’re being so insistent about it.
But uh, you got any bandages that are more flame resistant? I’m burning pretty hot right now, and any contact with my fur might just set them on fire.”
He’s saying that like it’s a normal thing.
@DUALEYEDZERA “Azure. My name is Azure. I’m an Explorer for a nearby guild, so I can’t really let myself get weaker.
That’s why I’m out here.”
He coughed out a black cloud of smoke, and some glowing blue lava dripped from one of the pores on his back.
“…Ignore that.
What’s your name?”
“Huh, if you say so. I’d try a smile once in awhile though.”
Since Azure was a pretty tall badger he had to lower himself down to the Pikachu’s height.
“Sweet hat though, I actually know someone who wears the same.
Err… not the same, similar.”
"Hm? Oh I wouldn't worry about that, I just have a stern outlook. I'm actually a pretty nice guy once you get to know me. Sorry if I gave that impression."
matter in the long run.
What does matter is the bonds you form with everyone.”
He let out a huff.
“I’ll take that over being a lonely drunkard any day.”
Azure rolled his eyes.
“You don’t join a guild as a way to make money, you’re joining it because of uh… what it is and /represents/.
A community of like minded people that all share a common interest and support each other. Sure there’s some competition… but it doesn’t-
you. But I think I’m fine where I’m at. I’ll just.. go find an inn, get drunk and pass out as usual. ❞
Sounds like a sad life to be honest. He even looks a bit too young to be deep in booze.
-all the guilds around here are Rescue and Exploration focused. Which /usually/ requires you to form a Rescue or Exploration team with some other Pokémon.”
Blink, blink.
“Uh. Which I don’t have… anymore.”
“Well I mean it’s free lodging and food, your obligation is to set yourself to their standards, and give part of any rewards from jobs to them…
Plus there’s the whole community part to it, and you’re working under more experienced.
But, even if you did take any interest, -
