"Very well then, Rei. Worry not though, I'll have a discussion with the other Branch Leaders and see about organizing a group to root out these poachers."
She walks away to go deal with some paperwork.

Tiki sighs, and feels even lower. "Sorry, Miss G..." Tiki leaves to her room.

"Thank you."
Rei strides up to Tiki.
"Are you alright Tiki?"

Tiki sighs again, and looks up at Rei.. "No...Miss G got mad at us. What are gonna do now?"

Rei shakes her head.
"We took a challenge too hard for us. She's mad because she's worried and responsible as she said. Its OK. As for what to do... I don't know. I'm going to sleep now, as its been a long day. I'll figure it out tomorrow."

Clay yawns. "Yeah, sleep on it sounds good." Privately, he doesn't know just how much he's going to listen to Miss G's orders, but that's a problem to worry about tomorrow. It's been a very long and very busy day. "Least we managed to give that thief something to remember. And Missile and Baloo totally wrecked that battle."[/b]
He's a bit too tired to remember that he hasn't updated the others on Missile getting named yet. He stretches his arms out and rolls his shoulders. "I should get them taken care of before bed. That big round thing rolled over poor Missile a few times before he got done chewing it up. Baloo held up like a champ though; he's gonna be a brick wall someday. I wonder if he evolves..."
If there's no more discussion, Clay will wander off to the infirmary and then to bed.

"Yeah I suppose we did, despite that thief getting away. At the very least she won't go in that part of the forest as long as that strange hunter girl stays there. Good night Clay."
Rei watches Clay go off and turns to Tiki.
"Like I said, we will figure it out tomorrow. I think we should take it easy for a few days. You especially."

Tiki nods, goes to head to bed, but turns back to Rei. "Hey...I know we made back home, but....Can I spend the night with you?"

Rei tilts her head in confusion.
"Is... Is there a reason?"

Tiki shrugs, and looks away. "I don't know...I feel...more comfortable. It puts my mind at ease...It's fine if you don't want me there. I'll head to my room."

Rei walks in front of Tiki after she turns and looks at her with concern on her face.
"Is there something else on your mind? I know this morning was hard for you, and I don't imagine I can migitate how being treated like that hurts, given my personal demons... But after we came back you seemed to start to turn into your old self again, and you seemed so happy before we talked with Genevive... I can't help but think something else is on your mind. I mean if you don't want to talk, that's ok, but know that I am here to talk if you need to. Otherwise yes of course I will let you. It helped after my fight with you keeping me company. It can only do the same for you."

Tiki fidgets around, and then looks up at Rei. "Do...Do you think I should quit the guild?" She looks very uneasy. "I joined up because it would help me get around the region more easily, I meet more pokemon, and I can travel to perform in more places.....But....We've had friends disappear, scary people take people away, poachers, our pokemon stolen, and even being beaten up....It's hard being an adventurer, but I like doing what we do. Switching jobs would tie me down to here in the guild, or get separated from you guys. Most of all...I'd be letting everyone down...I'd let you guys down, my branch down, and Miss G down...I just....I just want to go to sleep, and not think about it anymore....." She gets a bit misty eyed.

Rei listens carefully until Tiki is done, and thinks for a moment.
"It sounds like you've already made the decision. If it would make you sad to quit, if you feel like you shouldn't because it would let people down, then don't."
Rei steps closer, and puts her hands on Tiki's shoulders.
"I want you to remember a few things. We are still young. We've barely started our lives, let alone our adventuring career. Our pokemon are even still young, and none of them outside Justice have even evolved. And DESPITE all this, you and I alone took on the Zangoose in the first place, and held them all back. Not me. You and I. Tiki, I know you have the potential to do well. Also...
If you tried to leave I wouldn't let you. I am much much stronger than you."

Tiki listens intently, and wipes her eyes. She then hugs Rei, tightly. "Ok...Thanks, Rei. Can we head to bed now?" She smiles.

Rei hugs her back.
"You are welcome. Yes let's go. We'll go to the steel branch. I've seen the way some of your normal peers gave us strange looks when I slept over with you the first time."
Rei leads her off to the steel branch dorms, and sets her stuff down.
"Oh! I almost forgot! I found a new friend who reminds me a lot like you."
Rei releases her new capture in Hikari, and the little Pichu immediately begins running around like crazy in a circle, wondering where the heck he went in the first place. He stops, noticing the fun person he was sliding off what felt like just a second ago, and then sees a new climbing obstacle! He begins scampering up Tiki's clothes!

Tiki tilts her head. "Why would they give weird looks?" She then watches the cute Pichu run around, and climb all over her. She giggles happiliy, picks up the yellow cutie, and nuzzles her cheek against it. "Awww! Look how cute it is!!" Tiki's hair starts to frizz out.

"I don't know why. They were just giving us odd looks. Although it was one of the days you had a nightmare, maybe it was just that? Although it doesn't explain why they were giving me looks as well..."
Rei just shrugs. Meanwhile Hikari loves the attention, and nuzzles back, shocking Tiki (and itself) a bit.
"I thought you two would get along. I found him trying to get someone to play with him, and he was bothering a very pretty Vulpix I had seen days ago. I actually managed to catch both but like Shinpuru and Sheru, I might have to keep them seperate."

Tiki nods along as she gets zapped, and loved by the Pichu. "Wow! That's so *BZZT!* cool! Today I got *BZZT!* a Lilllipup! Oh, and I met *BZZT!* a Porygon! He's all blocky, and *BZZT!* The only one of his kind, and I hope I can play with him more! *BZZT!* I also made friends with Happiny! We went around, and made lots of people happy! *BZZT!*"

Rei takes Hikari back so Tiki stops getting electrocuted, and puts him down. He continues to run all around the dorm room, running out all of his energy. She giggles. She didn't recognize a lot of the pokemon names she mentioned, but that 'one of a kind' thing certainly peaked her interest. Rei would ask about it but she's tired.
"See? I knew you looked to be your old self. Now I'm going to go get ready, and then retire. It's been a long few days. I'm very tired at this point."
Rei gets up and goes off to privately change into her sleeping Kimono.

Tiki's jammies are back in her room, but she shrugs, and tosses off most of her clothes before crawling into bed. She snuggles up to Rei. "*Yaaawwwwnnnn* Good night, Rei..."
