[center][b][u]Corivana Espada
Haven Port, Council Room - Ayero[/b][/u][/center]

Something about this day ignited a petulant attitude in Corivana. Perhaps it was her summons back from the high seas to the land she had come to despise that erred on her poor disposition? Or was it the fact that the guards of her home town, Haven Port, now looked at her with grimaces on their faces? Every little bit added up, and it got under Corivana's normally sarcastic, go-with-the-flow personality. 

She stood with a hand at the hilt of her sword, and the other was digging out her breakfast from in between her two front teeth while she listened to the Council of Elders berate her with nonsensical questions. She knew she had made a mistake coming through Haven Port on the way to the capital, but she didn't know it'd be [i]this bad[/i]. 

[b]"Corivana du Espada, listen when your betters speak!"[/b] The Eldest slammed her judgement rod upon the thick oaken desk she sat behind in irritation. They had noticed that Corivana wasn't paying much attention, after near an hour of gabbering? Corivana couldn't suppress a scoff before it escaped her throat, and some of the Elders gasped at her behavior, while others frowned and furrowed their brows. 

[b]"Blimey, ye bilge-guzzlin' old fools, punish a lady for sayin' 'ello eh? I just came back to this shoddy old village to pay my respect to ye land-lubbin' wretches. This lass 'as got more important things to be doin' right now, to be sure, so let me leave 'ere before one of yer old sacks gets a hernia by lookin' at me pretty little face ye all love so much."[/b] Corivana folded her arms under her breasts and looked the Eldest in the eye while her voice carried across the whole Council room. The Eldest, a woman who held the most power on the Council, near to being the ruler of Haven Port, met the pirate stare-for-stare.

[b]"Let the girl leave. Apparently respect hasn't been pounded into her thick hide, even under the strict rules of the King's Guard. You will learn the error of your ways yet, Corivana du Espada."[/b] She gave a dismissive wave of her hand, while the Elders gathered around muttered under their breath. Corivana's lips quirked into a smirk as she turned her back to the Council and swaggered to the door, but as her hand gripped the door handle the powerful voice of the Eldest rang in Corivana's ears. [b]"Kyogre has been taken to the pokemon center to be treated, and I couldn't help but notice that our deity has many injuries since the last time you thought to bless us with it's presence. You will need to be more proactive in your care for it, or you may find that we remove [i]you[/i] from it's presence."[/b] 

Corivana's hand gripped the knob till her knuckles went white and her face contorted into a fierce scowl at the older woman's words. She managed to smooth out her features into her characteristic smirk when she looked over her shoulder at the Eldest. [b]"Kyo goes where she pleases. Iffin' that aint with me, then she'll be lettin' me know... savvy?"[/b] And with that she opened the door, swaggered out, and let it fall closed behind her with a loud creak.

Outside the massive town hall, Corivana took a deep breath of the salty air of Haven Port. [i]Home[/i]. It wasn't quite how she remembered leaving it, every building had rough edges, and every face was harder still. There was even less time for the children to enjoy themselves outside, and nearly all of them were in the dojos or in the school houses of the town, perfecting their chosen path in life. The only few that weren't forced into being taught weren't Espada children, and thus not restricted to their harsh reality. People in the gardens and farms slaved away, and guards sweated beneath their armor while they stood erect and focused on their tasks. In the various shops lining the streets, people toiled at their crafts endlessly as foreigners and neighbors alike perused and bartered for goods.

She was pulled out of her observations by a gaggle of foreign women passing by, all in their summer dresses with glameow and persians at their sides. Corivana smiled for real this time, her face lighting up brilliantly. [b]"Good day, ladies. I must say you all look prettier than a bouquet of rosalia."[/b] Corivana said, losing her pirate accent and flourishing her jacket behind her as she took an extravagant bow. The ladies paused and looked at her in confusion, but before any of them could blink Corivana continued. [b]"And for your beauty, I say that you all deserve a rose just as beautiful as you are."[/b] And with that she produced a rose for each of them from somewhere on her person. The women held their delicate hand fans to their faces and giggled in turn. 

When they left a few minutes later, all huddled together and glancing back at Corivana, the latter felt a rush of pleasure at watching their retreating figures. One or two of them had given her their beautifully scented silk 'kerchiefs to remember them by, and Corivana had placed them in her own brassiere. [i]Women[/i]. She loved them enough to forget what she had been doing. With a start of realization, she made her way through town, dodging and ducking through the crowd in her rush to the pokemon center where her companion surely waited for her.

Haven Port, Pokemon Center[/u][/b][/center]

Corivana burst through the door of the pokemon center with all of her usual swagger, and noticed that a large amount of noise came from the back room, where they usually held wild pokemon who were to be cared for before they were released. Corivana rushed back as the nurses yells became more frantic, to see that they were dealing with vulpix who was still in it's cage and causing a ruckus. The pair of nurses were too busy dodging the fire that the small pokemon spewed at the bars of the cage in it's ferocity to escape. [b]"What's going on here? Where's Kyo?"[/b] She inquired, her voice harsh. When she spoke up, the two nurses looked back at her in surprise. [b]"We left the deity in it's own room, on the top floor."[/b] The one on the left said, a lady that Corivana vaguely remembered as Cecile. The one on the right was still busy was still busy with the vulpix, but spoke with her back turned anyways, [b]"If you can help us with this vulpix, we believe it belongs to one of the foreigners, we'll get the great deity prepared to leave."[/b] 

Corivana swaggered over and placed her hand on the top of the cage that held Zavier. [b]"Ye scurvy dog, ye should know that these bars are resistant to fire pokemon. And ye see that over there?"[/b] Corivana pointed to more cages lining the south side of the room. [b]"Those do be resistant to water, and those do be resistant to electric... So if ye get my point, perhaps yer yap can shut while I take ye to freedom."[/b] She pointed at each gathering of cages in turn before leaning down to peer in at the vulpix. [b]"Savvy?"[/b]
