LightFlare_Da_Realest

The cashier scans Raina's items. That'll be 45 zennies, please. As Melina walks out she notices Liltih is still looking around... I'm heading out, Lilith. Penny is right behind me. Raina should be checking out. We're all meeting in front of the store before we board. See you out there.

The clerk finishes scanning all the items. Alright! That'll be 35 zennie! No prob. Here ya go.. Melina pays for the items. Thanks! Come again! Ok Penny. I can see LightFlare and Lucent still outside the store. Let's go meet up with them and get ready to depart. Raina...we'll see you outside the store. Melina starts walking toward LightFlare... I'll take the next customer!

Melina notices a quiet little purple shadow creep up and suddely begin to follow her... Flights to Candor...? That's us. Come on Penny. We should check out. Melina leads Penny to the cash register.. Hello, Ma'am. We're ready to check out. Sure! Right this way... The clerk stands behind the register waiting for Melina or Penny to place their items on the conter... You're up Penny! I'm not buying anything, today. Just browsing... LightFlare glances back threw the store windows and sees Melina, Penny and Raina in the store. Looks like Melina and Penny are at the register. Raina may be ready as well. They must have heard the announcement. They should be out soon...

(This kid is twisted...at least he's hospitable) LightFlare nods in acceptance of Lucent's "request". Light and Darkness huh? I suppose we have a few similarities after all. I can't help but wonder what you and your brother had planned for a vacation. I like a good fight but The Bottom is at "the bottom" of my list of vacation spots. Why did you really come to Kalos?

You and Anwalt have had a rough turn of events. You obviously have a bad impression of powers like mine. Inherently that's the case. But not all practitioners of it use it with malicious intentions. Darkflare...the man we are going to meet uses them as well. But he chose to use them to help others. He's an...interesting character to say the least. I guess what I'm saying is... Don't judge a book by it's "Dark" cover. Let it's story...speak for itself. LightFlare extendes his hand to shake Lucent's hand. Meanwhile in the clothing store... Melina chuckles... Ok...ok. I'll be nice. Melina looks around a bit and suddenly hears an excited young girl who has obviously found what she came for... Looks like someone hit the jackpot. Actually they have bags hanging up on a rack. They're pretty sturdy. Melina pointed to a rack with bags hanging from it. They were a nice size and looked to made of cotton and nylon. Melina addresses Lilith, Raina and Penny... We still got a little time. Look around. When you're ready just see the clerk up front... Melina continues to casually browse the store.

Great! Let's go, girlfriends! Oh! And don't worry, Penny. I gotcha covered. Just one of the benefits of being a winner. Isn't that right, Raina!? Melina chuckles as she leads the girls into a clothing store nearby. It wasn't especially large but there were several other stores so they could visit them as well. Most of them had a small selection of certain types of clothing. From Urban Street Wear, to formal clothing, to casual and clothing only people from far away distant lands would wear. Melina was happy to go shopping with some new friends. She liked Penny a lot and instinctively wanted to play the..."cool big sister" role. Raina seemed nice as well. And even though her and Liltih seem to bump heads a little, Melina wanted to give her a chance. Maybe Lilith would loosen up a bit. Maybe not... Meanwhile LightFlare confronts Lucent about the recent allegations that Lucent harbors some resentment...for LightFlare... Well...I want to thank you again for the hospitality. I rested well and breakfast was great. But...it's been brought to my attention that you may have reservations about me concerning my dark power. I honestly don't blame you. It's a common occurrence when people first see it. I truly hope that you don't judge me based on a small part of who I am...but that you get to know me first. Your brother told us what happened years ago. You were very young and it must have scarred you deep. I've seen a lot myself. Let me elaborate... LightFlare shares his story with Lucent in hopes that Lucent will open up and feel more comfortable with him. And that's my story. Anwalt didn't go into detail about your side of what happened. We've got time. Feel like sharing? LightFlare awaits his response...

Sounds like a plan. It's good to see you, Lucent. Raina...Penny...Ready to look around? Oh and Lilith...you're welcome to tag along too. You guys have fun. Lucent...can we talk for a minute?

Roger that. I hope he takes care of himself... Right behind you. Ready to rock! Melina and LightFlare follow Anwalt.

Well...Heard Raina say she wanted to go shopping. Maybe we can all so do a bit of shopping and find you something to wear. Where is Raina anyway?

A short while passed and LightFlare and Melina both came back with their things to meet everyone at the Lobby. Alright guys. I'm ready when you are. Where's Hyde? Ready for our trip. Penny not down yet?

Melina was quite amused. She laughed harder than she has in a while.. Penny! You are just to cute! Melina laughs a bit more and calms down. Penny, my adorable new friend. You need not worry about some...big guys. Ain't a guy big or small I can't handle. Melina glances at Anwalt as she says this... Isn't that right, Walt? Melina looks back at Penny. I'm only teasing you, Penny. Except the part about the "weird sport"....which by the way is called Mixed Martial Arts. Or MMA for short. My style is perfectly suited for it so im very familiar with the sport. Anyway...gotta grab my things. I'll see you guys in the lobby! Melina heads towards her room...

Sure it will! We'll hangout...like sisters. I can even show you a few moves once we get to the Warrior's Hangout. That's what they call Darkflare's facilty. Walt?! What is that supposed to mean? Don't you think I'm a good girl? I wouldn't do such a thing... Melina suddely grins and leans toward Penny and whispers... Unless you wanna get wild and crazy. We can have a girls night out. Shhhhh... Melina continually nudges Penny with her elbow teasing the young girl. Melina knows Penny is way to young to get too crazy but she enjoys Penny's innocent personality.

LightFlare smiles and nods in acceptance of Lilith's reason for wanting to meet Darkflare. Alright. Seems like a legitimate reason to meet him. I figured if I'm escorting you to meet him, I should at least have a decent understanding as to why you wish to see him. LightFlare finishes his meal. That was really good! I've gotta grab my things and I'll be ready to go. I'll meet you guys in the front Lobby once I'm done. LightFlare heads to his room to gather his belongings before they head to Candor.

Melina was quite amused at Penelope's story... You're just too adorable for your own good, Penny. You can sit next to me on the ride to Candor. I wanna know how a cutie pie like you actually ended up here alone. Oh if you wanna learn about that "weird sport" I'm sure I could show you a few moves. Suddenly LightFlare looked up at Liltih... That reminds me. I almost forgot to ask...before we go, I was just wondering. Why do you want to see Darkflare?

Melina is quite intrigued with the stories of Raina, Anwalt and Lilith. She even learned the origin of LightFlare's dark power. Wow...you guys come from some interesting backgrounds. I guess it's my turn...

LightFlare takes a break to talk... Back then, I would have fits of rage occasionally. But ever since that day...I've been at peace. It's probably why I've been able to settle down as well. It's like...tranquility...peace. I was calm...and sure of myself. I may joke at times, but even in battle...im confident that I'm in control.

I see...well. I can't blame him for being cautious. A power such as this does not come without a price. Since we're all here to get to know each other...I'll start...

Melina laughs sarcastically... Don't hold back on my account, Walt. Dig right in! I wonder if your brother shares your appetite. Where is he, anyway? He gonna show up or is he gonna keep dodging or "local hero" ovwr here? Who...me? Why would he be trying tp avoid me? Yea, Walt. Why do you suppose that? Melina was being an instigator. She knew Lucent didn't particularly like how LightFlare used his dark powers during battle. She stood up for him, but she could tell he wasn't buying her or Lilith's explanation. Coupled with the fact that Lucent had avoided being in Light's presence, and she realized that Lucent has avoided LightFlare this whole time...

LightFlare chuckles as he sees that he isn't the only one with a big appetite. I knew a reason I liked you, Walt! Dig in big guy! LightFlare starts eating.. Good morning, Walt!

Looks like most of us are here now. Let's have a seat here, Melina. Sure. You got enough or are you gonna get a third plate too? Melina laughs as she teases LightFlare. LightFlare places his two plates on the large table and chuckles as he responds. I'm a growing boy. And no...this probably won't be enough. LightFlare and Melina sit down. Melina smiles and waves at the others to join them at the table.

LightFlare, Melina and Lilith find the cafeteria. Much like the rest of the hotel, it was quite elegant. There was beautiful and relaxing music. Chef's could be seen preparing fresh entrees. There was also a buffet style set up with various items to choose from. The traditional breakfast foods were available as well as items that my be considered lunch or even dinner. What a spread! Well...can't eat standing around... I second that... Melina and Light grab a plate and begin fixing thier plates...

I gotcha... LightFlare approaches the clerk at the desk... Excuse me. Would you point us into the direction of the cafeteria? Sure hun! Just head that way. You'll smell the goodness soon enough... Thank you, ma'am. This way guys and gals... Right behind you, big guy. LightFlare and Melina head down the hall toward the cafeteria.

LightFlare smiles and looks at Lilith... The key is to have fun when you can and know when to buckle down. I enjoy myself...but If it's one thing I take serious...it's combat. If you're to tense all the time, it not only takes a toll on you mentally...it effects you physically as well. A little laughter will do you good, young lady. Well put..."LightBulb". Lol! Ha...ha...ha.... LightFlare looks agitated but quickly smiles as the elevator stops. The door opens and Melina and LightFlare exit into the lobby.

Excuse me! Young man! I believe you have a visitor. I told him I couldn't give him your room number, but it would be ok for him to meet you in rhe lobby. He's waiting for you ovwr there. Meanwhile as the others took the elevator... Got up on the wrong side, eh Lilith? It's ok... Play nice, Melina. Not everyone can handle your..."pleasant personality." Heh.. Lol! Im cool as a cucumber. Caught a fat "Dub" at the arena. Got a sweet payday. Got to stay in a super sweet hotel for absolutely nothing. Aaaaaand...I'm bout eat some delicious breakfast on the house. I mean..why should I be upset? Heh...You...are a piece of work...

(Rude much? Where's her manners at now? She must be still butthurt from that beatdown yesterday...heh) Morning Melina! Heh...not a morning person huh, Lilith? Well...don't take the wrong way...to be honest, I haven't known you for very long but I'd say if you know yourself...you know him already. A skilled fighter. Strategist. He doesn't smile much and isn't very friendly. He may hurt a few feelings along the way but ultimately...his intentions are good. Yeah...I'd say you two are two peas in a pod... Oh...lol...forgive me, Lucent. I was just messing with you. Just trying to lighten the mood. I'm taking the elevator. LightFlare walks over to the elevator and pushes the button to call it. When it arrives, he steps aside and motions to Lilith and Melina... Ladies first. Well talk more on the way... Thanks Light! At least you haven't forgotten your manners... Melina steps into the elevator...
