[quote=@Metamore] [Color=DAF7A6]"Bay,"[/color] Osajyin casually greeted, before the Painter began sharing hushed words with him; its earlier will seeming to have waned after so slightly. Perhaps it was the attacks, or maybe this [i]Smergle[/i] was just as enamored by Osajyin's beauty as Olotah had been. Had the Painter became a poet? Were these private sentences lines of some sonnet? Only Osaja knew, and with his naturally calm demeanor it was hard to get a read on him either. Rin had opened their mouth to speak multiple times over the course of their pondering, and every time they shut it again. Finally they figured they'd just wait it out, it's not like they could communicate with [i]Smergle[/i] anyway; their hearing aids weren't [i]so[/i] top of the line that they could translate pokéspeak. Sadly. A thought then crossed Rin's mind. What if they taught their pokémon sign language!? As that revelation overtook the trainer's mind with the promise of possibility, their second starter attentively listened to what the wild [i]Smergle[/i] had to say. His Trainer may have thought the other to be strange, but Osaja had an open mind, and understood exactly what it was trying to say. [/quote] Smeargle was not happy about his mural being desecrated only moments before. His tone was measured, but his words were [u][i][b]bold[/b][/i][/u]. Bayleef and his trainer should leave now. They had over stayed their welcome. There was no way he would ever go along with someone that would so carelessly order an attack near fine art. Nor would be partners with the Pokemon that actually did the deed. Osajyin might have been lackadaisical, but Smeargle's presence was firm. Result: [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/4850]Words Can Hurt[/url] [hider=Bonus Info: Please Read] Smeargle has begun mental warfare upon Bayleef... and it's working. Maybe Bayleef is intimidated. Maybe he is sympathetic. Maybe he's just being worn down by words. Whatever the cause may be, Bayleef has lost [b]3 Power[/b]. His will to fight has been damaged. Bayleef still has [b]13 Power[/b] left. [/hider]
