[center][color=7ea7d8]"You're kidding me? A big guy like you getting robbed? ...You should probably be a bit more careful, then. Not to be a pain about it, but your 'dragon' isn't very intimidating, especially not with a name like Crackers."[/color]

[i]Not to be a pain about it, she'd said, but the shit-eating grin on her face as she put another strip of meat into her mouth was a clear indicator that Dante's earlier misfortune was nothing if not amusing, to her. Still, maybe she ought to give him a little advice on shoo-ing off the wrong kinds of people? Kaijin was a great repellent for just about anything that moved. Its name wasn't exactly encouraging either, and likely for those exact reasons she rarely had any troubles like getting robbed, herself. When she'd swallowed the meat, Aoi's expression turned serious and she looked Dante in the eyes.[/i]

[color=7ea7d8]"Security is sort of lax around the border towns, so you ought to be wary of thieves at all times. The guards are too busy staring across the river to properly enforce the law, it's like a cruel joke. Intimidation's probably your best bet to avoid getting robbed, no one wants to mess with a pokémon called 'Shredder,' 'Monster' or 'Predator."[/color] 

[i]Quite frankly, the same was true for Aoi; her Scyther was vicious and the name she'd given him was partially to remind herself of that fact. Luckily, Kaijin seemed to have dozed off by now, allowing her to continue giving her 'sagely' advice.[/i] [color=7ea7d8]"And you, Adrian was it? I'm not sure what you hope to find there, but isn't Adasto where Venirin's king rules? You picked a fine time to go there, with the war going on and whatnot... Then again, I suppose simply wandering around like I do isn't any better as a plan."[/color]
