[color=8493ca]"What is she-?"[/color] Quickly he understood and ducked under as the dragon flew with a thunderous flap of her wings out of the cave and braced himself to withstand the gusts of wind that ripped the stony surface off of the cave. [color=8493ca]"Well, I think she's excited."[/color] Whether or not that was a good or bad thing was a problem for future Basil to deal with. Right now, he needed to get out of this cave. Much gentler than before, he was helped saddling up on the Salamance and they flew a bit slower than before. That was when he asked the question. He should've felt relieved when she said she did not hear a thing. So why was there still a weight in his chest? [color=8493ca]"No, it's nothing important."[/color] The young trainer averted his gaze from hers though attempted to play it off as him looking at the scenery passing by. [i][color=8493ca]Coward.[/color][/i] Well, eventually they arrived at the local hospital, and it was an... interesting experience. "I'm sorry, you did what?" The doctor asked trying to process what he just heard. Basil blinked and said, [color=8493ca]"I, uh, played a game of Torchic with a mother Hydreigon to convince it to let me take on of her kids and used my arm as an offering for what is now my Deino. Honestly, saying out loud really hammers home how stupid that actually was."[/color] The nurse assisting the doctor just stared at Lesley with murder in her eyes and tapped her on the shoulder. "Can we talk outside?" The moment they went out to the hallway he heard a slew of profanities that would have made a sailor like Zachary and his two very pg-13 coworkers blush. [color=8493ca]"I feel like I should be taking notes."[/color] Basil said, looking at the door while he was being looked over. Well, eventually he was released. Luckily, doctor-patient confidentiality was a thing or else he would have had to figure how to explain to his parents why their son used his arm as a chew toy. He saw while he signed himself out Lesley approaching him carrying a couple of objects. His eyes lit up when he saw the forearm guard, well, bracer. [color=8493ca]"This is so cool."[/color] He put it on his arm over his sleeve, the one that was not covered in blood, and admired it. It was simple, but the metal plating matched his piercings, so it coordinated with his aesthetic. Oh, and the toy was cool too. [color=8493ca]"Well, I can't say that I won't take any risks, but I'll try not to worry you."[/color] Basil smiled though he could not help but feel that weight in his chest. [color=8493ca]"Thank you for everything, and I'm sorry."[/color] It was better not to tell. The less people that knew, the better. That's what he told himself. [color=8493ca]"I'll be back to fight you one day too. Takecare."[/color] Once again, he was back on the watery streets of Lakewatch. Basil would walk around for a bit and sit down because he felt the urge to check on the egg he was carrying. It felt like a long time since he had actually last checked on it. Who knows, maybe it hatched in his bag while he was not looking.
