He wasn't particularly fond of having to share a room with the drunken Xenos but it did beat sleeping out in the cold hard floor of nature. [color=82ca9d]"Shhh we don't know if he's sleeping or not yet so lets try not to make any noise right now ok Pots?"[/color] he whispered as he made his way towards their room at the inn. He slowly opened the door to reveal Xenos passed out on the floor by the bed. A cringed look spread across Rivers face as he looked upon the scene in horror. [color=82ca9d][i] welp more bed for me i suppose[/i][/color] He tip toed across the room, stepping over his partners limp body and then quickly plopping onto the bed. Immediately River pulled the sheets to his face rubbing them against it and then the holding onto the fluffy pillows as he squealed into it muffling the noise [color=82ca9d][i] This is so much nicer than outside! I could get used to this [/i][/color] he thought as he let out a sigh then unequipped into his small clothes and cuddled up next to Pepper drifting off to sleep. [i]An array of animals could be seen in large spacious zones. Charlie making his rounds to see, speak to and feed eat animal. [color=82ca9d]"Hey Bruuuuce look what I've got"[/color] he sang in a sing songy voice as he waved a bamboo shoot while holding onto a weaved basket full of succulent fruits. [color=82ca9d]"Open her up I'm going in![/color] [color=f49ac2]"I will never understand how you can just jump into a gorilla enclosure so easily. You know he only trusts you right?[/color] [color=82ca9d]" I haven't given him a reason not to, nor do i ever plan on doing so"[/color] he stepped in and was greated with a big hug then giving Bruce his treats and a head rub and began to sign to him "You know they mean well right? You dont have to be so hard on them" Bruce huffed and thanked River for the food but then shook his head in disagreement. "Well i got to go buddy, see you later for your next feeding" As River stepped through the door the enclosure began to fade away, shadows engulfing the habitat and then vanishing. Every enclosure was now empty. He began to run down each one panicking wondering where each of his friends went, constantly searching until he ran into the final one which had him in it with the wave gear on. Bruce stood there with all the animals behind him and signed "You left us, you said you'd be back and you left us alone."[/i] [/hider] A loud thud could be heard as River fell head first off the bed, his legs still on it and arms draped over his face. [color=82ca9d]"Bruce!"[/color] There was silence. He turned over and let his body slump off of the bed as his face pressed against the cold wood that was being stained with tears. [color=82ca9d]"I'm sorry...I'll be back soon you guys"[/color] he whispered to himself as he stood up wiping away the tears. [color=82ca9d][i]Alright! new day new progress lets go![/i][/color] River quickly equipped all his gear again and whistled for Pots to wake up. [color=82ca9d]"Lets go girl, time for a new day to start![/color] She flew onto his head perching there as usual while he made his way down stairs in an all too excited manner. Reaching the bottom of the steps he noticed Xenos at the bar [i]again[/i] and Reylan and Alisea alone at a table. He hesitated for a moment to approach him but inevitably decided that they would have to cross paths at some point. [color=82ca9d]"Better now then never, besides no ways he's still drunk...right?[/color] He made his way over towards Xenos, waving at Reylan and Alisea on his way there. He sat next to Xenos at the bar and looked at him with concerning eyes then gave out a defeated sigh [color=82ca9d]"You really shouldn't drink so much you know...especially when meeting people you want some help with. Anyways whats this mission you say you got planned up for us? Is it to help advance your crafting skills or something?"[/color] he placed his hands behind is head in a very relaxed fashion as he closed his eyes trying to forget last nights dream. [color=82ca9d]"You know I'll help, especially if i get a chance to fight. I've been itching for one since i got my new skills but don't you dare have me miss the festival. I bet there will be all kinds of cute things and great food and event items you can't get later on."[/color]
