[I dunno what you're up to Credence but look out! Because there's puppies. All the puppies.
Yes, on Newt's grounds there's a collection of Lillipup and Rockruff pups (and one pink Snubbull), running around, sticking their noses into anything and try to play with anyone.
There's also an exhausted looking Midnight Form Lycanroc a few paces from them, laying on the grass in search of a brief moment of respite.
Then lo! One puppy has spotted you. Then they've all spotted you. And they are coming over as fast as their tiny paws will let them.]
[ Credence was.. adjusting. The world was still relatively terrifying but Credence was slowly adapting to it. The strange music, the stranger creatures. He would hopefully become settled well enough that he wouldn't jump at every little sound but he had been like that back home as well.
Newt's cottage really was more remote than he'd imagined. It was quiet and had quite a few Pokemon it seemed. Credence left Newt to get settled and..
Puppies. He had been walking the grounds to get to know the place with Tina when suddenly puppies. He hesitates before kneeling down to greet the puppies, confused by their presence but then again Newt had a lot of strange creatures. Perhaps it was the odd normalcy of them, even with their odd appearances. ]
[The puppies fawn over him. Sniffing and licking at him. They appear to be quite taken with him if the way they're bumping their little heads against him and pawing at him are any indication.
The Lycanroc stays where it is in the grass, watching them with a sigh of relief. Glad the puppies have something to keep their attention.]
[ Credence tries to make sure he pets each of them, even the odd little pink one. He was getting a little overwhelmed though in a good way, even laughing when the puppies start jumping more onto him. He finally just sits and lets them flood over him.
He was doing his best not to notice the much larger Lycanroc lurking near by. It was only.. mildly terrifying...]
[The pups climb all over him, tugging at his clothes and trying to get Tina to play with them.
This continues for a while, the Lycanroc just laying there, until its ears prick up and it lifts its head.
Enter another Lycanroc, a Midday one, like Newt's Roxy, except this one was bigger. And walking beside it was a girl. Well, a teenager. Who greets the first Lycanroc with a nod before noticing Credence.
She raises her eyebrow and smirks at the sight of him on the floor with all the puppies.]
Having fun with my kids?
[The pups turn at the sound of her voice and all yip in greeting.]
[Tina was quite happy to tussle, pushing puppies to and fro with her paws and tackling them. It was nice to have some Pokemon around closer to her size!
As another large Lycanroc appears. Credence tensed immediately, standing carefully. He'd been acting foolishly, at least as his ma would say.]
I'm sorry, I didn't realize.. I'm sorry. I should be finding out my chores, I'm sorry.
[ He was looking almost straight dow, keeping his hands down at his sides. This was.. she was a young lady. He hadn't really seen her face though.
Tina moves to sit in front of him, putting on her best tough face.]
Mr. Scamander said nothing about guests! Who are you?]
[Despite Credence looking down, Diana continues to smile and waves her hand dismissively at the boy's apologies.]
Don't worry about it. Newt pretty much did the same thing the first time I showed him The Pack. You like them?
[Diana doesn't take note of Tina but Lana, the Midday Lycanroc, does. She narrows her eyes and subtly moves herself just slightly infront of Diana. Her head held high, gaze dominating.
The other Lycanroc, Ingno, and all the pups avert their eyes, clearly submissive to this canine.]
Watch your tone, kit. We are here on invitation. Allowed access by the leader Roxy, my daughter. I don't need to announce myself to a fox barely old enough to be out of its den.
[Lana turns her head and gives a big, wide yawn to let Tina know she finds her very nonthreatening and not worthy of a response. Instead, it's Ingno that snorts as he rises from the grass and gives the fox a warning growl. The puppies around Credence's feet watch carefully.
It does bring Diana's attention to the Fennekin though.]
Don't worry about it. I'm okay with foxes, I have like, three.
[She shakes her head.]
Nar, I came to show Newt one of my new dogs. She's a little... Well...
[She smiles playfully at Credence.]
Let's just say she has trouble meeting peoples eyes. Know what I mean?
I.. I like dogs so.. I've never owned one, we couldn't afford one and would never have the.. um..
He was distracted by the sudden growl. Was it growling at him? Or--oh probably Tina who was doing her own bored yawn. See, she could do it too.
He reaches down and picks her up quickly,holding her close to his chest. He didn't want her to get hurt and clearly at least one of the Lycanroc was getting aggressive. ]
Um.. I'm not sure what you.. oh. Because I. ...okay.
[Lana continues to ignore Tina but Ingno gives her a wolfish grin as she's lifted up. With a short bark he calls the puppies to him, who run around his legs and yip at him. Diana looks amused also.]
[ Just you watch, Lana. She was going to get strong and then you'd have something to worry about! And also Credence won't be able to pick her up anymore.
Credence's face felt hot when she said cute. Obviously, she was talking about Tina, but still. ]
What? Want one..? But they're yours.. Mr. Scamander offered to help me get a few, to.. to just have a few more, he said it was good to have companions, and he helps a lot of them here but.. I don't know. You don't have to... I mean..
[ Tina thought to herself then looks up at Credence. ]
Newt and Ivy had returned from their trip to the Safari Zone and it was back to work as usual for the wizard. He'd picked up three new companions on his trip and had gotten them settled in, found himself with two new Pokemon that had been left in his box by someone he'd never met but had apparently left recently, and had been happily surprised to find a few of his companions had evolved in his time away. All in all it was a busy past couple of days for him!
But there was a fourth Pokemon that Newt had returned with, one that he had met in the Safari Zone but one that wasn't meant to be his companion. This one was meant for Credence.
Newt was seated on the steps of the front porch with Roxy resting behind him, dozing in the afternoon sun. Morgan and Fay were settled against the canine making flower crowns, giggling to one another as they chittered and chatted, content despite the chill in the air. Basil, Newt's new Deerling, was hopping and prancing about in the snow with Doxy the Eevee, the pair having a rather grand time kicking up as much snow as possible and making as much noise as they could in the process.
And in Newt's lap was a small Cubone who was just watching everything with a curious gaze as she huddled close to the wizard. She had asked to come along after meeting him and hearing about his friends--Credence in particular--wanting to meet the young man that sounded so much like her.
Credence had some how kept the place near spotless despite all the creatures running about. It was probably due to the fact that the entire time Newt was gone Credence had spent his time cleaning. If he ran out of things to clean he tried to study and if he couldn't manage that which was more often than he wanted to admit he tried to spend extra time with his Pokemon.
It seemed that he spent quite a bit of time with each of the Pokemon here, including his own but he wanted to make sure he paid better attention to what was happening to his own. No more surprise evolutions!
Jack, the Furfrou trotted out with Credence, eyes widening when he sees that he was missing out on a game of chase. He leaps over Newt's head in a graceful bound to chase after Doxy and Basil and was followed shortly after by a stream of Credence's dogs. The only ones that stayed behind were Tina and Arthur.
"Yes, Mr. Scamander? Oh.. Hello." He brushes his hand across his forehead which was a little damp and his hair was sticking to it.
"Who's this..? Oh, I've finished mopping the kitchen area, it.. it should be dry soon enough..."
Arthur waddles closer to Newt, peering at the Cubone suspiciously.
"Thank you, Credence. I really do appreciate all your help," he said sincerely as he turned some so he could face the younger man a bit better, the Cubone in his lap shying away from Arthur a bit. "This is Grace, another Pokemon I encountered in the Safari Zone when I visited with Pamela." He gently stroked the shy little thing's back and she blinked up at him before turning her gaze to Credence. The Cubone seemed to realize that this was the young man she'd come to meet and let out a soft noise, pointing at him as she looked to Newt again. The wizard chuckled and nodded. "Yes, this is Credence."
Grace looked back to said young man, some tears starting to well in her eyes as she shyly waved.
"Grace wanted to meet you very much, Credence, so she decided to travel back here with me so she could do just that."
Arthur puffs his cheeks at the Cubone, trying to look gallant. No need to fear! He was here to protect, not harm! And she seemed like she was no threat. In fact, she seemed like she was friendly!!
Oh... oh no, and now she looked like she wanted to cry...
Credence was a little confused at first, giving a small wave to Grace but.. then her eyes were tearing up and that was far more confusing. He returns the little wave before moving carefully to sit down on the stairs next to Newt.
"I don't understand... I'm not entirely special, I think meeting you would have been more interesting." He wasn't sure why a little Pokemon would want to travel this far just to meet him. Not that he didn't appreciate it.
Tina pats his shoulder, offering him a Poffin to give to Grace. Credence smiles just slightly and turns to offer it to her.
Arthur you darling thing. Give her time and she'll probably warm up to you.
For now the Cubone just watches Credence as he sits, reaching up to rub at her eyes and try to rid herself of the tears as Newt just smiles.
"Cubones tend to be very lonely, solitary creatures. She was all by herself when we met, with her foot caught between some rocks actually. She doesn't have a family here and is all alone," he explained in a quiet voice, watching as the little Cubone slowly reached out and took the offered Poffin. She hesitated for a moment before nibbling at it, sniffling and getting teary eyed again because this was just too much! "I told her about you and I think she felt that you were something of a kindred spirit."
Tina nudges Arthur gently. Don't worry, Grace would see what a gallant young Shelmet he was soon enough. She just needed time to settle in.
"Oh..."
It was a sad way to live wasn't it..? Lonely and solitary. Credence could deal with being alone from people but he was growing accustomed to these Pokemon. To having at least someone to talk to during the day. Imagining this little Cubone, stuck somewhere with no one to help...
What would have happened if Newt hadn't come along.
What would have happened if that woman hadn't come along?
He closes his eyes, turning his head away. Where did that thought come from..? He reaches up to rub the heel of his hand against his eye, pulling in a slow breath.
"...I'm glad you were there.. to find her."
His voice was soft and his eyes burned a little when he looks back at the little Cubone. He offers a hand to her to introduce himself more properly.
"What's her name..? Your name, really..." He addressed it more directly to her the second time.
The little Cubone seemed a bit confused as she watched Credence, not sure what she had done to upset the young man but a soothing pet from Newt calmed her before she could start crying anymore than she already was. Said wizard was watching the little ones in the yard play, giving his assistant a few moments to collect himself and his thoughts.
"As am I. She's been a lovely companion," Newt admitted, looking over at Credence with a faint smile before tapping one of the horns on the Cubone's skull mask. "Her name is Grace."
The little Cubone--Grace--nodded as Newt said her name, shyly pointing to herself. Grace. That was her.
Credence actually laughed. It was a startled sound, the surprise showing in his expression as well.
"Grace..!" He reaches to shake her little hand. "You would fit right in with me and my sisters.. Credence, Chastity and Modesty... and Grace."
Oh. Maybe he was still a bit emotional. He missed Modesty. Chastity a little too, and maybe even Mary Lou. The normalcy of his world, even if it wasn't a happy normal.
He draws his lips to the side as he chews the inside of his cheek, looking out over the yard.
"I'm sorry.. That you were alone. It's not... good to be alone. Here you would never have to be. You could.. You could make the decision for alone time but.. you wouldn't have to be lonely."
Grace blinked as Credence laughed, tilting her head as she tried to figure out what was funny. Humans were such strange creatures. But apparently him laughing was a good thing because he shook her hand and said that she fit in! Her! She fit in! The little Cubone drew herself up proudly and let out a happy, albeit soft, sound.
She fit in!
Watching the pair, Newt smiled and ever so gently he nudged the Cubone off his lap, helping her down to stand before encouraging her to move a bit closer to Credence. She hesitated and looked up at Newt, tilting her head in a questioning manner. He simply smiled and gave her an encouraging nod and as Credence started to say that Grace wouldn't be alone there with them..the little Cubone moved over to crawl onto his lap.
Credence reaches towards her to make sure she doesn't lose her balance out of instinct. She was the size of a toddler, it was natural to worry about her coordination. But she seemed just fine on her feet. There was no reason to worry.
Then she was crawling into his lap and he puts his arms around her. He rests his head on top of her's between the bone helmet's spikes. Next to him, Tina had come to sit down, smiling at Grace.
He was starting to have his own little special made family here. Grace and Tina, Cree and the dogs, Mr. Scamander and Dr. Isely... It was peaceful. Better than maybe what Mr. Graves had been trying to offer even. He didn't want to leave this place ever if it were possible.

Valentines Day!
Date: 2018-02-14 04:20 pm (UTC)WHAT WAS HAPPENING??
Though little paws were reaching for the chocolates. Creeping in to try and steal them.
"H-hey, no!"
And off the box went, carried away over an excitable Pokemon's head.
Action; February 17th
Date: 2018-02-19 05:12 pm (UTC)Newt and Ivy had returned from their trip to the Safari Zone and it was back to work as usual for the wizard. He'd picked up three new companions on his trip and had gotten them settled in, found himself with two new Pokemon that had been left in his box by someone he'd never met but had apparently left recently, and had been happily surprised to find a few of his companions had evolved in his time away.

Grace looked back to said young man, some tears starting to well in her eyes as she shyly waved.
"Grace wanted to meet you very much, Credence, so she decided to travel back here with me so she could do just that."
Action
Date: 2018-02-25 08:20 pm (UTC)Oh... oh no, and now she looked like she wanted to cry...
Credence was a little confused at first, giving a small wave to Grace but.. then her eyes were tearing up and that was far more confusing. He returns the little wave before moving carefully to sit down on the stairs next to Newt.
"I don't understand... I'm not entirely special, I think meeting you would have been more interesting." He wasn't sure why a little Pokemon would want to travel this far just to meet him. Not that he didn't appreciate it.
Tina pats his shoulder, offering him a Poffin to give to Grace. Credence smiles just slightly and turns to offer it to her.
"You came a long way, you're probably hungry..."
Action
Date: 2018-02-25 08:24 pm (UTC)For now the Cubone just watches Credence as he sits, reaching up to rub at her eyes and try to rid herself of the tears as Newt just smiles.
"Cubones tend to be very lonely, solitary creatures. She was all by herself when we met, with her foot caught between some rocks actually. She doesn't have a family here and is all alone," he explained in a quiet voice, watching as the little Cubone slowly reached out and took the offered Poffin.

Oh. Maybe he was still a bit emotional. He missed Modesty. Chastity a little too, and maybe even Mary Lou. The normalcy of his world, even if it wasn't a happy normal.
He draws his lips to the side as he chews the inside of his cheek, looking out over the yard.
"I'm sorry.. That you were alone. It's not... good to be alone. Here you would never have to be. You could.. You could make the decision for alone time but.. you wouldn't have to be lonely."
Action
