He did a last sweep of his room with his eyes; cataloging the various different knick knacks that were scattered across shelves along with well loved books and old toys he didn't have the heart to get rid of just yet. He gave an approving nod to himself before trotting quickly from the room and, [color=00aeef][b]"Oof,"[/b][/color] slammed directly into a much smaller shinx who had stuck her head out of the room next to his. [color=00aeef][b]"Sorry Lex,"[/b][/color] he said with a sheepish grin, [color=00aeef][b]"Bit lost in thought."[/b][/color] [b]"You're leaving for the guild today right?"[/b] she asked with a mix of excitement and sadness in her voice; her bright yellow eyes staring up at him and star tipped tail waving slightly. He nodded, [color=00aeef][b]"Yeah,"[/b][/color] he looked out the window at the end of the upstairs hall where the sun hit a small table and flower vase, [color=00aeef][b]"I'm running a bit late actually, so I'll see you later ok?"[/b][/color] He rested his head on top of hers for a moment before slipping by her down the stairs into the sparsely furnished kitchen and living room where his father, an older, rough looking Luxray was preparing lunch. He thankfully worked close to home so it was feasible for him to come home and then head right back to work on time. [color=00aeef][b]"Bye dad!"[/b][/color] he called out as he rushed by him to the front door just catching the [b]"Be careful!"[/b] his father shouted after him. He bounded down the street, enjoying the warmth on his fur and paws from the noonday sun. He greeted a few of the other pokemon that were walking the streets as he finally made it to the larger building that felt much more imposing than it really was. His eyes scanned the flags that hung from various parts of the sandstone as he caught his breath. He could feel nerves beginning to prickle underneath his skin, but before they could get the better of him he squared his shoulders and stepped out of the sun into the building. He looked across the various windows with stunning views of the ocean nearby and the boards crammed with notices before finally settling his gaze on the other three pokemon in the room. [color=00aeef][b]"Morning,"[/b][/color] he gave a slight, respectful nod, [color=00aeef][b]"I hope I'm not late."[/b][/color] He moved out of the way of the door and sat down letting his eyes continue to wander across the interior and other members of the guild.
