Ember's reaction to the fact that the competition made Devon physically ill didn't offend him, instead making him laugh a bit. [color=darkturquoise]"Haha, none taken. It really sucked though, from what little I can remember about it."[/color] The Totodile then refocused his brown eyes on the Quilava as she turned down his offer, and explained her reasoning to keeping her word. The explanation made a subtle, proud smile cross his maw. [color=darkturquoise][i]Wow....She really takes her promises seriously....That's awesome.[/i][/color]

After the flames on Ember's back flared up a bit, Devon walked up to lightly sock her in the side and grin widely. [color=darkturquoise]"That's really brave of you Ember. Right on. You'll have a good time."[/color] Selena then asked a question that put a bit of tension in the air, the resident blue Kirlia's answer not really doing much to help disperse it. Looking to Ember, then to Selena, he put on a brave face. [color=darkturquoise]"We can handle this. It's just a party, we can slip in, eat and chat a bit, then we're gone by midnight."[/color] Pounding his fist into his open palm, he went on. [color=darkturquoise]"If we're gonna be a team, we gotta be able to take whatever life throws at us. Now let's head to that party, and face our fears!"[/color]

The party in the Guild's dining hall was in full swing. Dozens of Pokémon, Guild member and dancer alike singing, eating, and laughing together around the long wood table lined with dishes. The large crystal chandelier above the table brightening up the already cheery room with a flood of candle light. With everyone distracted by their friends and food, the members of Team Horizon were easily able to slip into the room unnoticed by all....Except one.

The scarred Feraligatr currently chatting with the Gardevoir next to him wore a calm smile on his face, drink glass in hand as his slit eyes glanced over to the doorway. For a moment, the smile on Raiden's face seemed to fade, before he went back to his conversation as if nothing had happened. 

[color=MediumSlateBlue][i]I'm sorry.[/i][/color]

[color=darkturquoise]"Man...I'm actually alot more tired than I thought I was. Maybe the electricity is...Huh?"[/color]

The young Water-type stopped mid-sentence as he poked his head through the doorway into the small 'bed'room. The sight of two patches of hay seemed to mesmerize Devon as he walked into the candle lit room and dropped his bag near the wall. A confused frown spreading over his face as he bent down and pressed a clawed hand to the soft yellow bedding. [color=darkturquoise]"Uh...These are our beds?"[/color] The Totodile questioned quietly as he turned to stare at Lilisette through the low light. His dilated pupils making it seem like his eyes were pure black. [color=darkturquoise]"I can deal with this, but it just sort of feels...I dunno, off, to me. Like there should be more to it."[/color]

Stepping onto the hay cushion, the tiny crocodile lowered himself onto his knees, and rolled onto his side. A contented sigh escaped his lips, tail curling up between his feet as he smiled. [color=darkturquoise]"Wow...This is actually way nicer than I thought it would be."[/color]
