Yuki was sitting cross-legged beside Xalander's corpse which seemed to be soaked, tinkering with the Mew fossil which previously belonged to the dead man. "Look at you," he murmured while nudging Xalander's face with the tip of his shoe; "You haven't aged since the day you stole something precious from me. Glad you got what you deserved- though, I suppose, it was I who pretty much ordered your sentence." Sighing, one hand went to the fossil around his neck while the other continued to rummage through the coat which Xalander was wearing when Yuki arrived.

"Ah, here it is." The boy pulled out a computer chip, nothing fancy, with his insignia clearly on it, and actually smiled. "Thank you for taking good care of it..." Standing up while sending the chip into his PC, he pulled out a lighter from his pocket, a lighter he had taken as a keepsake from a Team Magma member, and let a flame lick at the dead body. "Since you're not burning in the afterlife, if that's even possible, then at least you're burning now."

Satisfied with his little bonfire which smelled distinctly like burning flesh, he turned on his heel and prepared to leave the body where it was. ~Is that really okay?~ Adrastos's voice sounded in his mind as the Pokemon followed Yuki. ~This doesn't feel honorable.~ When Yuki glanced over at the Gallade, the look in the boy's eyes gave a clear reply which stated 'It's not' before the young scientist looked away.

"Somehow I thought you'd end up here eventually..." came a voice from not too far above, sounding like it should have been a purr though not quite coming out right. The black figure dropped down next to Yuki, watching him carefully and with an increasingly tight grip on the bag he were carrying to the point where his claws seemed to be making small holes in the fabric. The fact the bag managed to not look happy might have been the reason, but how does a bag not look happy?

"Got you a little present for helping me become what I have always dreamed." George mused, looking to Yuki and trying to avoid the body the other man had been staring at. He may not be the best of beings, but that didn't mean he exactly wanted to stare at the evidence of murder nor its covering up.

Yuki glanced up to see a familiar sight as well as an unhappy bag. "Oh, happy day," he commented as he stared impassively at the bag; "How are you two getting along? Nicely, I presume, since you two share a similar past?" The way he spoke, as well as the fact he was looking to the bag and not George, made it appear that he was talking to the supposedly inanimate object.

Hearing that the dragonic human had brought a gift for him, however, made Yuki blink in surprise as well as look up at the black figure; subconsciously he stepped back while putting the lighter back into his pocket. "Present...?" He repeated slowly. "Your satisfaction is my satisfaction..." He tried to reply only to trail off. Yuki, unsure where to look, decided to watch the flames off to their side. That was enough to distract him for a bit.

Adrastos, meanwhile, quirked an imaginary brow as he watched his trainer's reaction. What was so wrong with being thanked? Still, he said nothing and instead watched the familiar figures. The Gallade already knew what that bag really was, having informed his trainer as well, and was on guard in case it decided to attack.

George carefully hooked the eggs from Figaro, attempting to keep a grip on the transform pokémon, though it not exactly going well with one hand haphazardly trying to balance two eggs and the other not exactly made for grip.

"Ra, hold it down for now, would you?" he mused, letting the Larvesta jump from his shoulder and end up getting into a small brawl with Figaro as George managed to end up with an egg in each claw which made for much easier holding, even if he did still need to keep an eye out for Coral who would no doubt be somewhere she shouldn't be and about to pop up and cause him more untold levels of pain.

"Just thought you might be able to have fun with these. Prelife to mess around with instead of plain old normal life." he mused, throwing one to him lightly as he could while ensuring it would reach him. "You made me what I thought I could only dream. You can't get away without some form of repayment."


Coral meanwhile seemed to have found Adrastos and remembered the pokémon from before. She didn't seem to quite remember that he'd teleported her miles away because she was a nuisance though. Instead she somehow ended up next to him, starting to speak (out of both heads at the same time) in a very happy and jovial voice and climb over him and occasionally peck him out of habit.

Instinctively Yuki reached out to catch the egg, holding it close to his chest without a second thought to keep it warm. "Eggs...?" George's explanation actually put a small, relieved smile on his face before it disappeared almost immediately after. "I wonder what they'll hatch into?" The thought of having new toys to experiment with was the farthest thing in his mind as he peered curiously down at the egg in his arms.

Recalling that his most recent successful experiment was holding another egg in one claw, Yuki looked up eagerly to peer at that one as well; having strode quickly over to George's side to get a better look at the egg. He had watched as a Larvesta, newly hatched if Yuki wasn't as rusty as he believed himself to be when it came to egg care, wrestled with Figaro.

"I see you've added a new Pokemon to your team." He commented while carefully taking the egg in George's hand and holding that against his chest as well. He would need something to carry these eggs in- a bag maybe? He could always use Xalander's now that the archaeologist no longer needed it. "Bug and Fire type Pokemon. Could make for a powerful once it evolves."

Yuki shifted from foot to foot as his mind went blank. What would a person do when presented with gifts? "Ah... Thank you... For the eggs." That was a start. Now what? "You really didn't have to..." Yuki's only thoughts were: I feel... So awkward right now... And he really did feel awkward- something he always felt a person did something unexpected. Why is it so hard to understand others?

Adrastos listened politely as Coral chattered away with both heads and trying hard not to flinch every time the bird pecked him. Every now and then he would cut in, trying to voice out a comment or two of his own, before quieting once more and allowing the little lady to talk.

George watched the other who seemed to manage to somehow go into a form of mothering mode when faced with the eggs with managed to bring a small crack of a smile to his face.

"Who knows. Ra came from one, but they were from the Daycare. Could be next to anything." he said, watching as Ra seemed to manage to String Shot Figaro tightly enough that it wouldn't be able to snap its way out if it grew nor shrink small enough to get out without being worried about being caught on the wind and long lost. Ra moved to sit on top of the String Shot nest in triumph, Figaro seeming to be growling as the pink blob tried to wriggle away.

"He ought to end out strong. Hopefully soon too..." he mused, using the hand which was now free to attempt to try and scratch an area just in between his wings which seemed to manage to remain just out of reach.

"And it was nothing. Went for my own reasons, just picked them up as I was passing through. Have fun with them." he added, though seeming a little more distracted with the itch on his back.

Coral though looked like she wasn't about to stop, jumping up and down and going on and on about random things that she and George had done like invading the daycare and playing about in some roller-coaster debris and something to do with the quintet too, but that was one of the very few things she managed to say quite little about...

"I see," Yuki replied as he watched in unseen amusement as Ra handled Figaro quite professionally. "He'll make a wonderful addition on your team; treat him well." That said, he gave a command to Adrastos to hold the eggs using Psychic.

Once the eggs were out of his arms, he plucked Xalander's bag from his PC and carefully placed both eggs inside, securing them so that they wouldn't bump into each other. "The Daycare? Well, as long as I was an afterthought... And this is the only repayment, right? Nothing else to expect?"

As much as Yuki appreciated the eggs, he really didn't want to take them as gifts. He wasn't exactly the greatest carer of baby Pokemon; he vaguely wondered how he managed to care for his first Pokemon. Besides that, however, he just didn't want gifts in general. He's never received any sort of present throughout his life. Why start now?

Now that the bag held both eggs, he slipped the bag over his shoulders and noticed that George was distracted by something. Quirking a brow, he reached towards where George was trying to get to and scratched. Didn't even occur to him that he was helping out the other. "You learned to fly," Yuki announced offhandedly; "good job. I take it you're enjoying your new life?"

Adrastos was relieved for the temporary distraction provided by his trainer before returning to listening to what Coral had to say. The bit about the Quintet put him on edge, however, and he couldn't help but blurt out telepathically for all to hear: ~What was that about the Quintet?~

(Yuki, we've been trying to cut down on pokémon/human communication without reasonable means, so Adrastos' psychic communication is going to need to be cut back on severely in the future unless he is communicating with a human who also has psychic abilities. I'll let you off this time here since you weren't to know and you can still have the Psychic Kuzumi/Lail communication since we know he is psychic person. Feel free to make Yuki do strange things and make himself psychic to carry it on, but... yeah. Sorry mate =P)

George raised what he could on an eyebrow at Yuki seeming almost relieved about being an afterthought rather than anything else, though let it slide as the two spoke.

"Life couldn't be much better, nor entirely different. Think the person who helped me learn my wings was an old friend of yours. Kizmi?" he attempted the name, though didn't do very well at it at all.

He did manage to get a little taken aback by Adrastos' voice suddenly inside his head, though he quickly seemed to get over it and start to glare at Coral.

"Why are you going around chatting about all that stuff?" he groaned, before starting to realise how long the bird must have been talking and to how many recipients before just seeming to give in.

"Yeah, I found myself in audience with one of the Quintet. What of it?" he asked, still seeming to be itching at his back, giving a glare to Coral as if daring her to say any more.

((Mmk.))

"Kuzumi." Yuki corrected as he moved to watch the now dying flames apathetically. "Should have known we would go to the same region." Learning of George's encounter with some Quintet being, Yuki glanced back to the still distracted experiment. If he was more concerned about what that meant, maybe he would have pressed it further.

"Thank you again for the presents," Yuki announced as he turned his attention to his Gallade and motioned it over; "but I have somewhere to be, now. Have a good day, and I'm... Pleased to know that you are at least satisfied with the end result of our time together still."

Adrastos, hearing that his trainer had decided that he wants to leave, removed the tiny bird from its perch and went to his trainer's side. Once it was clear that Yuki was done talking, the Gallade executed a Teleport to who knows where. Still, the Pokemon was curious as to what Coral had been talking about.

"Until next time." Yuki added just before he and his Gallade had disappeared.

George seemed to manage to be surprised by the sudden turn around, though quickly reasoned it to be something to do with getting the eggs somewhere safe and being at least somewhat busy.

"See you then." he mused, turning his back to the other as he picked up the tied up Figaro and Ra, showing the quite deep 5 marks of scar on his back between the shoulder blades where he'd been scratching earlier from the encounter that had been briefly brought up before Ra managed to cover it again with how he decided to perch on his shoulder.

He turned back to Yuki for a brief moment, collecting Coral back from Adrastos before allowing himself to move on his way also, towards wherever he was needed next.
