“Are you sure that you’ll be alright by yourselves?” Eri responds, brushing Rosemary's leaves off her shoulders. “Yes, Rosemary. Positive.” A claw grabs hold of her leaf, drawing her attention to Samuel. “Come on, Rose. Can’t tie them down forever. Now that Bryon is out of the way, we have a lot less to worry about.” “They grow up so fast...” She puts a leaf to her face and pulls herself against Samuel’s shoulder. With an unamused look, Eri walks past her and toward the…-

“Not a particularly compelling lead. ‘They went through North Radiant Forest’ gives us basically nothing.” Rosemary haphazardly rolls up our mission flier and stuffs it in her bag. “We’d better hope the pay is good. We're about due for a grocery run, after all~!” I look back at her over my shoulder. “Only because you’re too lazy to go shopping.” “Who said I have to do it? Can’t you send Hopper?” “How many times do I have to tell you? He’s not our housemaid. He’s…

A deafening silence replaces the suffocating wind. It’s too silent, and the air is too still. I’ve been plucked from one great discomfort to another. Well, there’s still a little comfort to be had… Just hold him tight, and don’t let go. I dare to pull my head away from his chest, allowing me a little bit of vision. It’s dark. Well, maybe ‘dark’ isn’t the word. There’s enough light to see just fine, but all of the surrounding terrain is colored with deep shades of blue and…

“Mornin’, Earshot and Thorn!” Our Maractus friend greets us extra enthusiastically today. “Some mail came in for you today, Hopper.” She holds up an envelope with one of her spines. “And they delivered it here? Like, instead of my house?” I'm wondering the same thing. Lisa giggles as Hopper takes the letter. “Not just any mail, this is mission mail! C-Ranks and above can receive missions directly from potential clients.” “About time our hard work turned into recognition!” I…

“Just a little more. Come on, you can walk just a little more.” I mumble to myself once more; a habit which had started to vent frustrations has turned into the only way to keep myself awake. The sun is setting on another day filled with what I’d call “adventure” if I were generous, or “uneventful walking” if I were being honest. I knew becoming an adventurer wouldn’t be easy, but this kind of trial by boring fire is not nearly what I expected. Or rather trial by starvation, in my…

“Good morning, you two!” Eri’s greeting was strangely enthusiastic, but her recipients didn’t share that enthusiasm. “Hrmmmmm…” “A-Ah! Good morning, Eri! And you too, Hopper…” All I have for the gatekeepers is a little wave. Ernest reluctantly returns it, but I think it made Hugh even more upset than before. Meanwhile, Eri looks like she’s having the time of her life as we pass by the gates without a hint of resistance; her big smile complimenting her confident, almost…

“You’re sure that you’re well enough to work today? We can take another day off, it’s really not a problem.” Eri’s voice is quieter than usual, likely unheard by Rosemary and Samuel ahead of us. Still a little sore, and working in the snow isn’t ideal, but... “One day was enough for me. I’m dying to try out my new form!” A little electricity bellows within the pouches on my cheeks, with some sparking out from the pads on my paws. “Well aren’t you eager...” “...should I…

“Does this mean they’re official~?” “Arceus, I hope so. They’re so obvious.” “I know, right? About time they stop beating around the bush.” Huh? Natural light overwhelms my eyes as I attempt to open them, forcing them shut immediately. Sleeping in is nice, but that flood of sunlight is always a little harsh. “Oh, oh! He’s waking up!” “Must be because you’re so loud.” “Ruh-ude! It’s my house! I can be as loud as I want!” “It’s my house too, and I…

Two hundred and thirty-four. Two hundred and thirty-five. Two hundred and thirty-six. Two hundred and thirty-seven. Two hundred and thirty-eight. … Two hundred and thirty-eight. Two hundred and thirty-eight seconds since he left. I’ve been sitting here, completely useless, for two-hundred and thirty-eight seconds. I can move again. Up. Get up. Holy shit, it hurts so bad. I’m so sore. That damn brute squeezed so tight. Hopper. He has Hopper. My pain doesn’t…

“It’s... way too cold...” My partner shivers at my side, cupping his paws and blowing on them as we walk. He’s not subtle at all. “I heard you the first four times, Hopper. Are you sure you don’t want to borrow my coat?” “N-N-No... I’m g-good... you hang o-on to it...” He frantically rubs his shoulders to warm up. ‘I’m good’ my ass. “Have it your way.” I loosen my scarf and step behind him, wrapping it around him instead. “But you’re at least getting this.”…
