(( He didn't.

and then shit went pear-shaped and he chased after her when she went missing and they had feelings. ))

Natalie nods a little and pulls away, giggling. "I almost didn't notice. I'm just so happy you're here and everything..." She bumps noses with him and takes his hand. "Come on, let's get a room here and Flynt can help your clothes dry."

She looks to Edgar with a small frown. "D'you wanna stay out here, Edgar? Or could you walk to a room okay?" The gogoat considers it for a moment before standing herself up, a little wobbly without use of her injured ankle but otherwise alright. "Okay. Let's go then."

Once situated in one of the Center's small rooms, Natalie sets to getting most of Val's wet clothes removed while Edgar gets cozy on a large cushion in the corner. The dark-haired trainer pulls a length of rope from her bag, one she carries in case of cave emergencies, and stretches it from wall to wall so she can hang up everything for Flynt to work on toasting dry.

"While I'm thinking about it, Val," she says with a blush already crawling up her cheeks. "W-will you... take the Luvdisc now?"

Scuse you, Poe. I see you there.

Natalie smiles sadly at Val and kisses him as warmly as she can. She hugs him close and sighs into his shoulder.

"You're so dumb sometimes." She squeezes him tight, nuzzling against his neck affectionately. "Being brave isn't being not-scared. It's doing stuff anyway." Another kiss to his cheek, and she cards her hands through his soft hair. "Which, I'll remind you, you already did by coming here."

The dark-haired girl leans her head against Val's chest and sighs contentedly. "I'm glad you're gonna stay with me, though. I mean. Glad doesn't really begin to cover it, but... it's kinda the closest word I can think of."

Natalie squeezes Val's hand. She bumps her cheek to his affectionately and gives him a bright, warm smile.

"I know Frost Cavern was serious. But it's rare, and... we handled it. And we can only get better from here, right?" She brushes a hand through his hair, enjoying being so close to him again. "You forget, there's tons of trainers who go through journeys like these. It's tough, but it's not often that dangerous. Even battles with wild 'mons." Natalie nuzzles their noses together as she speaks. "And look... like I said before, even a tough loss from a gym leader only ruffled my team."

She sighs lightly and wraps her arms around him again, holding him close to her. "I'm so glad you're staying, Val. You're the best, and I don't think I could keep going without you."

[natalie-x-adventure]

"You..." Natalie sighs through her nose, frustration making her squirm a little more. "You didn't know I was gonna be fine. You basically... you basically did jump into something dangerous. For me. To keep me safe. You... you are brave, and you're driving me crazy."

She kisses his cheek and hugs him tight. "Do you hear what you're saying? You'll miss everything, but you're gonna stop anyway?" She sighs into his shoulder and shakes her head. "You're being stubborn for no reason, Val. Your pokemon want to travel and battle and they want to be there for you if something does go down again. Skulk and everyone... they know the difference between trainer battles for fun and serious danger, and they trust you."

Natalie hugs him tightly and rocks him gently back and forth. "I need you to stay, Val. For your sake, and mine, and your pokemon." She pulls back and smiles at him sheepishly. "But mostly for mine, okay?" She kisses him softly before she can think too hard about it.

Natalie's gaze shifts between concerned, sad, and angry as Valentyn speaks. She settles somewhere between the latter two and grumbles a little. The things Val is saying just don't add up to her; she saw him for the first half of their journey, his excitement and his sheer joy as he won more and more battles and bonded with his team. Where the hell did that go?

She shakes her head roughly and puts a finger over his lips. "No. Hush. No."

As she sorts through her thoughts, she pulls her hair back behind her shoulders and tugs it lightly. "Val - what happened to you? Where did you go?" She reaches up and cards her hand through his soft blond hair. "You were so pumped when we started - you knew exactly what pokemon you wanted and what you were gonna name him before you even met Roque. You loved seeing new cities and traveling with your pokemon. Up until Dendemille, you were having the time of your life." She purses her lips. "And saying you're not brave? Are you kidding?"

Natalie puts her hands on his shoulders and makes sure he's looking into her eyes. "Valentyn. I know you think you're scared, but can't you see what you just did? You thought I was in danger - that something serious was happening - and you pushed through the things you were afraid of to get here and make sure I was okay. I'm sure you ran into some wild pokemon on your way, too, and that turned out fine, didn't it?" She plays with the ends of his hair fondly and smiles. "Heck, I just had a really tough loss in the gym, and the worst that came of it was a sore hoof. Battling is fun, and I know you loved it once." She sniffles a little, her eyes stinging again as her frustration brings up tears.

"Val, you're the bravest guy I know. The best guy I know. You love your pokemon and you loved battling, and..." Her cheeks, already flushed from her crying, turn a richer pink. "I love you. And I don't want to see you throwing away the things you used to love to do."

"N-No, no... not stupid. You're the best, Val. You're the only guy I count on, y'know..." Natalie runs her thumb over the back of Val's hand affectionately.

She blinks at him as he continues and tilts her head. Slowly, her brow furrows and her lips curl down in a frown.

"Val, are you..." She puts her free hand against his forehead with concern. "Are you sick? Did something happen? Why are you...?" She squeezes his hand. "I... did I... make you wanna leave?"

[natalie-x-adventure]

"I... oh, Val, I'm sorry... I'm sorry I freaked you out, I just... I was so mad at myself, and after... after making a fool of myself yesterday..." She shakes her head and nuzzles against Val a little. "Arceus, I'm glad you're here with me though..." she murmurs.

She looks over at Edgar again, who noses affectionately at her shoulder and huffs. "No, just Edgar's ankle got hurt... I mean, it was a tough fight but. Everyone's okay." Natalie takes a couple of deep breaths and her hand seeks Val's to tangle their fingers together.

"I'm sorry... again. I... I'm sure you didn't wanna have to see me... after yesterday..." Her lip trembles and she fights back another wave of tears, free hand covering her mouth.

[natalie-x-adventure]

Natalie takes a couple deep breaths, trying to calm her tears. She rests her forehead on his chest and sighs heavily as her sobs steady.

"I-I... gh. I tried to battle Olympia..." She turns to look at Edgar and sniffs sadly. "I just... I haven't trained in forever, and I didn't have you, and I just went for it, and... we lost." She rubs her eyes and tries not to start crying again. "Edgar sprained her ankle, and I think... I th-think Fae's mad at me..."

The girl gives Valentyn a squeeze and leans her head on his shoulder again. "I was so mad, and... I threw my holocaster at the wall..." She squirms a little. "I'm pretty sure I broke it..."

[natalie-x-adventure]

Natalie sniffs and looks up with surprise at the sound of someone sliding in front of her. She drops her feet to the floor and her sobs start anew when she sees Valentyn in front of her, looking like he'd swum himself to Anistar.

"Val! Arceus, I - I'm so fucking glad you're here..." She wraps her arms around him tightly, burying her face in his shoulder and crying. Edgar shifts beside her, nosing at her comfortingly. "Ohhhh Val. I'm such an idiot, I am such an idiot..." Her words garble and slur together as she weeps against him, clinging to him for dear life.

Natalie stares at the wall after her caster clatters to the floor, breath heavy with emotion. She clenches and unclenches her fists at her sides, trying her damnedest not to punch the wall where she'd already cracked her HoloCaster. With a long, angry sigh, she turns to her gogoat and flops on the seat beside her, shoulders shaking.

"Fuck... I'm sorry, Edgar," she says with a warble, rubbing the pokemon's leg above her thick brace. "I'm such a fucking idiot..."

The grass pokemon nudges Natalie gently with her nose, large calm eyes watching her sympathetically. The trainer rubs Edgar behind the ears with trembling hands.

A nurse drops by after a while, and suggests Natalie get some air. She spends only a few minutes outside before spotting the gym towering over the rest of the city and cringing. She rushes back inside and drops onto a couch in the lobby with tears flooding her cheeks. Pulling her knees up to her chest, she hides her face and sobs as her mind races through all her stupid decisions in the last 24 hours. Her body shakes and her hands wave off any strangers attempting to help without her really thinking about it. There's only one person she wants to see right now, and she's pretty sure he doesn't want to see her for a long, long time.
