Duncan glanced amused towards Madeline when she said it was nice. Ah the courtliness. Modest, polite and elegant. he had to admit he admired it in Madeline. That and her loyalty towards the princess of course. There weren't many people out. The day shift hadn't ended yet and the staff was busy making dinner.
Duncan was glad that he could make his own schedule a bit, not that he would stop fulfilling his duties or be distracted from his tasks but he would sure try to do more of this in his free time.

"It is not often played by noblewoman I suppose but it is a great game, I prefer it over any card game."
not that he wouldn't play cards with his fellow Guards but still, a nice game of chess was what he preferred. There probably were some card games the noblewomen would play but not all of them liked it as far as he knew. "But we could start with checkers if chess seems to difficult to start with."

He couldn't help wondering what kind of books she read. "Tell me, mylady, what kinds of books do you read? Poetry? Fairytales? informative books? Adventurous tales?"

Keith flashed a grin to Rory as she said 'apparently not' "Awesome." he replied. Ignoring the sharp look in her eyes and the foul look he glanced at her sparse breakfast, it wouldn't fill a hollow tooth of him but he'd seen more in here who hardly eat. Keith put some of the cheese on a slice of bread and ate a bit.

He glanced at her again when he thought he heard a sound from here, somewhere between a grunt and a hiss like sound.
he swallowed his food when she introduced herself reluctantly.
"Pleasure to meet you Rory. I assume that we haven't talked before is just because of our busy schedules prevented it. I am positive no one would on purpose try to evade me." he said with a big grin.
A little sparkle in his eyes gave away that he was joking at this time and not meant it although when he was having his episodes he would truly believe no one would evade him, awesome as he is.
"The muffin looks delicious, maybe I should grab on one the way out." he remarked friendly before he continued to eat with big bites, occasionally drinking some milk to wash it down.

Keith chuckled as Rory said that he could be deranged for picking her as company. Her piercing teal eyes meeting his. He appreciated that, more then enough of the people here wouldn't meet his eyes, either because of their illness or the side effects of their drugs.
"I'm in for delusional disorder." he said like he was serving time. "Mostly grandiose delusions. The I-can-shape-into-a-griffin ones or -I-believe-I-can-fly ones. I learned the hard way that in fact I cannot fly. Even though I didn't at the time, even when I was lying on the concrete trying to figure out what went wrong, not once did I think 'he, maybe I can't fly' I was more thinking in the terms of 'there must have been a downdraft or something.' oh well, the meds keep things in perspective I suppose." He nodded slightly before he ate some of the grapes he had picked.

He tilted his head slightly. "And what's on your record?" he asked. "paranoia? hmm, no you aren't looking around enough for that. Maybe multi-personality?" Keith wasn't the best in getting the diagnosis right but he always tried. He at least was improving on narrowing it down. It helped that he talked to a lot of the residents.

Sarah wondered how it would be, parting with pokemon that you shared so much with as £regan was describing her old team. She could hear the fondness in the ranger her voice. Gira would always stay with her that was for sure, she had her since she was in her egg. Saur seemed to like hanging around too. She stopped her thoughts, it was not needed to think about it now. She would deal with in the future when it was needed to be dealt with.

Sarah contemplated about the vehicle. Regan was right about the rest. "Well, a vehicle wouldn't be able to get everywhere. some paths are narrow or so rugged it is hard to drive. And the sound might scare away the Onix." she finally said. It would be more convenient and faster but perhaps not the best way to get around here. Best bet would be a bicycle or motorcycle but Sarah had neither and couldn't drive anyway.
"But I am glad Rapier found a clue already, saves a whole lot of time wandering around. And narrow the area of search down a lot.

Sarah sure had felt that way with Gira; a bond where she could understand as good as if they spoke, but since Gira was half psychic she always thought it might be because of that. She hadn't considered it might be the bond instead, especially since her Girafarig didn't have very strong psychic abilities as her Abra had. The offer to help with her research sure was welcome. "I might take you on that offer. practice makes perfect, right?" Sarah said with a small smile. Besides her newest addition to the team needed experience. "And seeing you use Rapier in battle after I witnessed how you two are outside of battle might be valuable information."

Gira smiled friendly. "I had quite a journey too, but nothing too adventurous." Gira glanced behind her at Sarah and Regan briefly. "It's great you found a clue already, I think it would have taken us a whole lot longer without your wings and eyes."
Gira turned her gaze to the landscape, looking if she could spot a pokemon her trainer had expressed that would be good for her team for her research.

Sarah listened Regan talking about the pokemon she released. Sarah wasn't sure if she could do that, but maybe she should release the pokemon she would catch for her research. It would only be fair to give them the option. "That would be great, I would love to meet them would their path cross ours."

Sarah carefully avoided the loose rocks and was about to support Regan when she stumbled but the ranger seemed to recover quickly. When Rapier returned Sarah watched the interaction between pokemon and ranger.
"This is just the beginning of the rocky area of the island, gradually it will change from plains to rocks," Sarah said. "Flying pokemon can cover more ground faster then we can so I'd say it'll still be a little hike."
Not that Sarah knew exactly where the Onix was and the pokemon could roam through the entire area. The rocky area was a pretty big area covering most of the north part of the island. But it was a good sign that tracks were found already. I could mean the Onix had closer to the midsection of the island, to the edge of the rocky area. If they would find the tracks they could easily follow it. Sarah just hoped it were fresh tracks and not days old tracks.
"You trained your Staraptor well." she said smiling as she noticed the flying type just flying a bit ahead and waiting again.

Gira ran up to the tree where Rapier was waiting. "Hello, mind if I walk ahead with you? I'm Gira, Sarah is my trainer."

Sarah glanced at Regan. So far it had been more pleasant than she would have thought it would be. Sarah got a chance to think about her project more in detail and the help of Regan's pokemon was very valuable. "I'm glad you had time to came along," Sarah said, shooting a brief smile to the other female.

Sarah followed Maria. She listened to what Maria said, Sarah knew she wasn't that good of a cook. "It's been so long since I have cooked, I hope I don't burn anything. Or burn the place down." Sarah thought. "Cooking," she replied with a sigh. "The lesser of two evils," Sarah added with a shrug. "And it might show the therapists that I progress, hopefully." she continued inwardly.
The stumble and glaring was a bit odd but not the weirdest behaviour she had seen around here.

When they were in the cafeteria Sarah felt the urge to put on her headphones and listen to the music again. Her fingers stretched to the headphones but she saw a nurse looking in their direction. Sarah's jaw tightened and she resisted the urge to put them up. She didn't want the nurse to put in the observation report that patient Sarah didn't socialise again by hiding behind her music.

Sarah took a plate and had a hard time deciding what to eat. None of it seemed very appealing to her. She settled with some grapes and a glass of water. She waited till Maria and Sienna had grabbed something to snack before sitting down. She didn't know where to sit anyway.

Keith woke up when the announcement started. He glanced at the clock and groaned, it was still way too early. At least for him it was, he could hear the business of a very awake institution. He glanced again and sighed, he should get up probably but the bed was so very comfortable. So he could choose between relaxing and watch a movie or work hard during cooking lessons. It2 it was.
Keith looked surprised when he heard about Bethany. He knew her, he had talked to her quite often. Keith knew almost everyone, he was always talking and socialising to everyone. He hadn't seen much improvement in Bethany but he wasn't a doctor so what did he know. But it was weird that Beth hadn't said anything to him. At least he assumed they were friends because, let's be honest, who wasn't a friend of his in this facility.

Keith got up and got dressed. He looked at the clock again and decided it was best to hurry to grab some breakfast.
The lecture of the doctor the day before was still fresh in his mind. "Punctuality." the doctor had said. Keith had grinned and said that he was very punctual. The doctor had looked at the clock meaningful and Keith had lifted his shoulders briefly. It was true he had been fifteen minutes late for the appointment. But he wanted to let the staff see he could be on time somewhere and not stumble into the cafeteria just minutes before the breakfast was put away again.

He hurried outside and quickly made his way to the cafeteria. He quickly loaded his plate with bread, cheese, fruit and grabbed some yoghurt and a glass of milk. Looking around he decided to sit down next to a woman sitting alone at a table.
Keith looked at Rory.
"Mind if I join you?" he asked as he sat down without waiting for a reply.
He looked at Rory smiling friendly. "I've seen you around a bit before but we never talked before. Hi, I'm Keith."

Sarah nodded. "Bigger than average. Although normal sized ones aren't that much shorter than me. I'm just not tall." She didn't know if she looked cute on Gira, she had never seen it, but she could imagine what it looked like. she had seen people on large enough pokemon before.
Sarah looked at her pokemon and smiled. It helped that Gira's was strong, that was for sure. A Girafarig that had less strength would probably struggle but Gira had enough strength, her special attack was weaker compared to others though.

She listened to Regan. Regan definitely made a good point. One she hadn't thought through that much.
While she was thinking Gira came closer to Regan to get petted. This woman seemed nice, Gira was glad her trainer was striking up a conversation with this female.
"I never saw a real Flygon. Only in books." Sarah said before she formulated a response on Regan's question.
"I think that for the best that I do participate in the battling both in the gyms and in the League, not for the thrill of the battles but to test how far my pokemon and I have grown." She paused. "I do plan to give it my all, it will be a nice reward for my team to get as high as we can. It is all valuable for the research and I think the personal experience helps me understand the observed trainers and pokemon better. Perhaps put some things in perspective." Sarah reached in her bag to get her notebook to write that down. That was something she could use to explain to her professors why she wanted to participate in gymbattles and all.

The rocky area was still further up north but the path was already starting to show signs where it was leading too. The further they got from Lilan town the less maintained it was. small rocks and stones were lying on the path and there had been uncareful travellers that sprained an ankle by not paying attention to the ground.

【 Personality 】
Keith is a very friendly and social man. He likes to joke and tease. He has a big heart and really wants everyone to be happy. But Keith is also lazy, doesn't think before he speaks and doesn't like to be alone so he'll seek up company even if others might not want it.

【 Biography 】
Keith had always been a happy, friendly, social boy. Even as kids he made tons of friends and always wanted to make sure everyone was happy. He hated fights and arguments so did everything he could to make sure those got resolved quickly.

One day, when he was 7, he got trapped in a cave where he was hiding hen he was playing hide and seek with friends. Trapped in that closed, dark space he lived through his worst nightmare. No one found him for a day and a half. This left him claustrofobic and nyctophobic. He stayed his sunny self when he was rescued but couldn't stand darkness or small, confined places ever since.

When he was 12 one of his uncles died during a psychotic episode. Two years later another uncle died during a manic episode.
His father and other uncles were worried it runned in the family since two brothers suffered from mental illnesses.
Keith started to gradually become more and more adventurous and a daredevil as he said himself. He was convinced he could al kind of difficult things and often failing, leaving him wondering how that could be.

At the age of 18 Keith went from 'oh I can eat that large cake in one sitting' to 'sure I ride a unicycle without ever trying it before, easy peasy' to 'Of course I can fly, let me demonstrate from that building over there.' Needless to say Keith couldn't eat the cake in one sitting, couldn't ride that unicycle and definlty couldn't fly.
When he was in the hospital recovering the doctors asked him why he did that. Keith just replied that he could fly, he didn't know what happend he was was supposed to fly.
It was then that the doctors diagnosed him delusional disorder as they could rule out other mental illnesses. For two years Keith managed to stay home and go to therapy sessions until he was standing on the roof of their house to fly again, claiming he actualy is part griffin so he can just change to griffin form and fly away. Keiths father managed to get him down and had a heart to heart with his son. Keith understood he just had another episode of his delusional disorder and decided he needed more help. He chose this facility and is enjoying himself very well.

【 Trivia 】
Keith loves to watch movies but isn't much of a reader.
He loves being outdoors to feel the wind on his face.
Surprisingly he likes Celtic music.
Keith loves birds and has homing-pigeons and canary's at home.

Duncan glanced at the lady in waiting. He realised that her position didn't always leave her with much free time. Not that the princess was very demanding, but it could be very long days. His days were often busy too, his rank didn't come with a lot of free time. At last not if he wanted to do his work properly.

He was glad to hear that she could enjoy a book. "I like to read too at the end of the day when there is light enough. Or play a game of chess, if you like I could teach you." He glanced at Madeline again. "Although I am starting to appreciate to take just a stroll. Especially in the right company."
