Yue skipped to a halt and looked back at Leon with a raised eyebrow. "Leeon-nii-chan, why are you pretending to be hurt? We've got to get going!" With that, she moves to start running again.

Leon stood up quickly wiping himself off looking to Alex "I'm alright, just trying to keep her from running off again." he said before looking toward Yue's voice calling "Because even if I'm not hurt, I still have some sore spots from fighting those Litwicks, and I was hoping we could stick together from now on!" Leon looked over at Alex "Not that I hold any grudges, I just want her to come back," he said not wanting to make Alex feel bad for the earlier situation.

Alex turns towards her as she starts to go this time and sternly says, “Little Missy, are you going to just take off on your own after all we’ve been through so far in here? Do you want a repeat of what happened to me earlier when I got impatient? Didn’t these little guys just now teach you anything? Sometimes it’s best to slow down a bit and think about the best course of action. Wait for the group. Some of us aren’t as nimble as you are. What would Ms. Brooke here think if you ran off and got hurt huh? Didn’t you ‘hire’ us to help you? Let us help.” As he finished he turned to Leon. “Faking? Is that why it sounded insincere?” He shook his head and helped Leon to his feet.

"Insincere? I didn't think it sounded fake. Though maybe to the ear of somebody who's heard things like that all the time, it's easy to see through. Though Yue wasn't convinced either." He said hoping that his and Alex's words would be enough to convince Yue to travel with the group.

Alex chuckled. “You just picked the wrong thing to use as a deception Leon. I’ve been around countless hurt people. I know what ouch sounds like. I know you injuries are probably hurting you, but I can clearly tell a pain ouch from a fake ouch. It’s kinda my job.” Alex leans in closer and whispers, “Next time, tell her about the adorable fluffy thing she just missed.” Alex grind and looks at Leon. He chuckles again and clasps a hand on his shoulder. “Come on, walk with me. I can’t see anything past this lantern. I don’t wanna lose people.”

Her new friend safely ensconced in a ball, Brooke used a little more water to wash some of the slime off her arms and lap as best she can. "Whew. Those things are cute, but I'm gonna need to wash up soon as we get back."
"Yue!" she called out sharply as the girl started moving again. "Wait for us, please. It's not a good idea to run off alone in here, all right?"

Yue blinks. "I hired you? I thought that we agreed that I wasn't supposed to do that?"

With Alex to light the way again, and Brooke finished with her Goomy Leon started walking with Alex toward Yue, as Leon nodded "That's true, and it's not because you hired us that we wanted to help you out in the first place. We care about you, Yue, and right now we'd just like it if you stuck with us. We don't want you to get in trouble out there in the dark without us nearby to help." Leon said hoping to set the record straight.

Brooke nodded. "It's safer for you and us if we all stick together. But it wasn't right for Leon to try an' trick you, even if he meant well by it. I reckon he oughta say sorry, and then we can head back. Okay?"

Yue blushed and smiled. "Before we go back...I just want to say that I'm happy from the bottom of my heart that I met each and everyone of you...Alex-nii-chan, Leon-nii-chan, Brooke-nee-chan, Bubbles, Cuddles, Dukes, Dory, Hearth, Cinnamon, Clawdia, Puddles...It...It hurt to find out that Father never really cared about it...It still hurts...But thanks to you all, I can still smile and be happy! So thank you!" She says, finishing with a bow. As her head comes back up, the others can see both a bright smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

Leon smiled walking up to her "I'm happy I met you too Yue, if I hadn't I'd probably still be milling around Saffron working up the courage to go to the guild, and Brooke is right I'm sorry I tried tricking you. I should have just asked you to stay back. We're a team now all of us, I should trust you. I'm glad we can help you be happy." he said getting some idea about what was revealed in his absence, starting to feel like he and Yue shared more than just powers.

"Ah I guess I'm happy to have you around too. Heh at least with you here, life's not as dull as it used to be. One or all of you have me out here hunting around instead of being cooped up in the guild hall with the Alchemists. That was my grand plan. This at least is more interesting, if not totally terrifying most of the time as well. I don't have your sense of adventure, or courage, or wonder. I am just along for the ride. It's fun being on the other side of things once in awhile." Alex kinda stops and scratches the back of his head. He finishes, "See now you got me all sappy too. That's just weird. Come on, let's go back. I'm pretty sure this clearing looks familiar. The exit should be this way." Alex tries to lead the party out of the swamp.

"Aww, Yue." Brooke enfolded the younger girl in a hug. "Of course I'm glad I met you. I don't know much about your father" - and that was something she'd have to ask Alex and Leon about later; it sounded like osmething had happened. Why hadn't she noticed Yue had stopped talking about her parents before now? " - but I do know he's missin' out. Now let's get you ho - back to the Guild. You and I need a bath somethin' awful."

Yue hugs Brooke back for a bit before following Alex out of the swamp.

Leon followed Alex out as well, when they got out he looked up at the sky trying to get an idea of how late it was.

As Alex was leading the group out of the swamp, he came to an unfamiliar clearing. He didn’t remember this part of the swamp coming in. He then realized that he made a left turn when he should have made a right. Before he confessed his mistake to the group, he spotted what looked like a small stone. He instantly recognized the item as a revive. He picked the item up and backtracked back to the spot he made the mistake at. “My mistake guys. We should have made a right here. We’ll be out in just a minute now.” He said heading the right way.
Just outside the swamp, Alex exhaled deeply. He wiped his brow with a filthy sleeve and said, “I don’t know about you guys, but I think I have just enough in me to get back to the guild, get cleaned up, and then I’m crashing. That was a long trip.” After hopefully getting a group consensus, Alex starts back towards the guild building.

It doesn't take that much longer to get out of the swamp, but the several hours back to Saffron and the Guild feel like the longest of your life. Thankfully, nothing accosts your weary group on the way home, and you are soon happily back in your comfy beds in the safety of the Adventurer's Guild. Hopefully only sweet dreams await you...

(Night before)
Alex led the team back to the guild safe and sound. He then went to do exactly as he said. He went straight to the Grass Branch dorm rooms and found the nearest open washroom. He took a nice long bath to clean himself off and relax his muscles. Alex ached all over from the hike and wanted to sleep for an entire day straight. He knew that was out of the question though. With his last bit of strength left, he releases Fetor the Koffing and Squirt. He immediately went to work on both. Squirt got the business end of a syringe to clear the poison, and Fetor got all patched up and good to go. Recalling both, we went to his bed and fell asleep no later than when his head hit the pillow.
(Alex spends his last daily use of FAE on Fetor, fully healing him and removing his last injury. Squirt gets patched up with Alex’s last AP point and the first aid kit. Hp restored and poison removed.)
(Next Morning)
Alex wakes up after a long rest. He feels totally refreshed and totally glad that this night wasn’t followed by a nightmare like last. He stretches and gets ready for the day. He takes the crew outside and let’s everyone out. “Okay Squirt, you’re team captain buddy. You know the drill. Stout, you’re co-captain. Teach the new guys your accuracy tricks okay? I’ll watch over it all.” Alex said. He watched the five work together using various skills to both target and deflect the others attacks. He was especially observant of Miry. He had no idea what the little ball of goo could do. He paired her with Squirt because they were both water types according to the book. Tried as he might, he could not get the little goo pile to shoot water. He did get it to belch once after it stopped for a snack. At least he thought it was a belch. Miry made a grumbling noise and then he noticed bubbles leave the creature. He opened his tome to try to make sense of that one.
(Due to Train the Reserves, all 5 members of the team get EXP training. All 5 members get Focused training also.)
After the training session, Alex milled about the breakfast area. He was trying to find members of the Guild that were interested in trading. He found out quickly that with Allure on the team, Fetor was just like her. He wanted to find a team that Fetor would better fit into.
(Alex is lookin for a trade! Alex has no idea what he wants in return! Alex is going to say he’s looking for some other kind of poison type he’s never heard of (Stunky but Alex doesn’t know that. Will roll trade in OOC) while waiting on the rest of the team for breakfast.)

Despite not knowing the name of what he's looking for, and somehow not thinking to check the Tome to see if he can find it visually, Alex is able to get someone to trade him a Stunky for his Koffing.
Stunky is Male, same level as Koffing, Modest, with Stench.
Yue is not able to find anyone giving away Eevees at this time.
