[Open - Dragonfield, afternoon]

[Rin didn't know how to be a trainer. The idea behind getting her Tepig (now named Kintaro) was to give her and Yukio something to bond over. Which worked, but it left her caring for something that was far more intelligent and aware than a simple house pet.

Granted she had been given Kuro to care for back home, but Kuro was also far more independent, being well over 120 years old compared to Kintaro's age of barely a month. And she could tell he was getting restless at home and in the kitchen with her, even if he did help as much as possible.

She was sitting in the Dragonfield with her legs crossed and Kintaro curiously sitting in front of her, head tilted. Her focus wasn't on him, though  - it was on the Pokedex she had borrowed from Hilda.]

Says here the first thing you should be able to learn is... Ember.

Pig... ?

... I have no idea how to get you to learn that.

[Closed to Yukio - Hospital, evening]

[After spending time with Kintaro in the Dragonfield (however well that went), Rin shuffled in to the hospital with said Tepig in her arms, poking around for a certain other Okumura.]

Yuuuuki~ Where are youuuu~?

Comments

[tophgirl]

By this point, Toph has been informed that she's been punked. And she is none too happy about it. Mostly because she accidentally smeared the mustache. She's stomping through the Dragonfield, trying to find the closest body of water to scrub her face.

[hellpyre]

Well that sure is a... sight. Rin almost misses it, so focused on her Tepig and the Pokedex, but her hearing catches the sound of bare footsteps nearing and drags her attention away.

Only to see that mess on the girl's face.

"Whoa..."

[tophgirl]

Toph stops and crosses her arms.

"What?"

Somebody is, perhaps, a little defensive.

[hellpyre]

Just a touch. Rin is more concerned than anything because damn how the hell did that even get there?

"What uh... what happened?"

[tophgirl]

"What do you think, genius?" Toph says. "I grew it, duh."

[hellpyre]

Rin blinked at that, scowled, then sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose. Not buying your sarcastic shit, Toph.

"That's marker. Who the hell in this place would even think about punkin' some one with a lame ass prank like that?"

And then, a little more sympathetically.

"Want me to kick some one's ass for ya? Or uh... give you a handkerchief, that might be easier."

[tophgirl]

"I can kick ass on my own, thanks," Toph said caustically. "...but a handkerchief would be good." The sooner she got the ruined drawings off her face, the better she'd feel.

[hellpyre]

"Good to know! This place needs more ass kickers."

Rin stood and pulled a handkerchief from her pocket while Kintaro flopped over on his side, watching them curiously.

"Here, this'll help."

[tophgirl]

"Thanks." Toph took the handkerchief and wiped her face. Well, not so much wiped as scrubbed. The last thing she wanted was to just smear more ink over her face and look even more ridiculous. This was one area where people who could see had the advantage on her and she hated it.

Despite her best efforts, plenty of smeared ink was still left on her forehead and cheeks when she stopped scrubbing. "Did I get it all?"

[hellpyre]

"Uhhh... not... quite..."

That just looked bad. Rin took the handkerchief back and looked around, spotting the near by water source that went through the Dragonfield, getting it wet and coming back.

"Here, try this."
