Burning down the house;; Akhor

[AKHOR DRYZEIRAN]

Akhor didn't make the connection that he worked for the organization that Ash's father had clearly opposed. And it was his opposition that had gotten him killed, although he didn't doubt it also had to do with the fact that he was Cid's brother, and he was a rebel. It made it so he couldn't really hide the fact. Regardless, Akhor did not find himself responsible at all. He completely disagreed with Cid's way of doing things.

The male glanced over his shoulder as Ash spoke, an eyebrow raised, "Yes." He replied, "I'm sure he's getting tired of having blood matted in his fur." He turned back to watch where he was walking, turning about a corner to a new hallway, which ended in two double white doors. Above it a sign read in red lettering, 'Pokemon Center.'

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

Ash certainly saw the connection, though she really had no idea that Akhor didn't agree with Cid. She'd noted how her uncle seemed to hate the boy, and that Akhor was enjoying himself in a way, or something, but all she could do right now was assume thing. She didn't really know what went on in that place, although currently she considered them all evil. There were a lot of people who opposed The Order, because of the way they did things. No matter what Ashah was told she would likely think of the male as being evil. He certainly acted like it.

The female nodded slightly, feeling a little queezy at her loss of blood of which she did not intend to tell Akhor about, as she assumed he would be cross with her again, although she didn't think that he had the right to be. Her eyes looked up at the sign of the poke center, and she immediately pushed her way, looking for someone that could help her little Growlithe.

[AKHOR DRYZEIRAN]

Akhor glanced over at Ash as she passed by him, forcing her way into the pokecenter before him. He followed her in, and came to stand just inside the doorway as the doors closed behind him. Jolteon sat beside him, and turned to look up at him, nudging his hand with his snout. The male looked down, an eyebrow raised, and Jolteon turned his attention back to Ash, his head gesturing toward her. Akhor's eyes narrowed, and he turned back to look at Ash. Was she limping?

A nurse at the main desk looked up as Ash entered, and immediately found her feet at the sight of the Growlithe in her arms, "Follow me." She instructed, getting straight to the point. She turned about and started down a hallway, opening the first door on the right.

Akhor made his way over to one of the chairs, coming to sit down in it. Jolteon followed, and resumed his position at the boy's side.

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

Ashah followed behind the nurse with a nod, when she was told to do so. She walked quickly so that she wouldn't waste any time trailing behind. Growlithe was hurt, badly, and Ashah feared that something dreadful would happen to him. She couldn't bear to lose him after everything that had already happened. He was the last thing she had in the world, and he meant every thing to her. There really would be no point in living if he left her alone there to. She knew she had to trust the nurse to look after him however, even if she did live in this god awful place.

"Will he be okay?" The female asked desperately, following the woman in the room, and glancing down at the orange creature in her arms. He was whimpering quietly, curling up against her.

[AKHOR DRYZEIRAN]

"If he hasn't lost too much blood, he should be fine." The nurse responded, reaching out and taking the little pokemon from Ash's arms. She set him down on a small operating table, and reached into a drawer located off to the right. She drew out an electric shaver, and carefully removed the fur around the wound. Setting that side, she drew out a cloth and doused it with alcohol, cleaning the wound. It would certainly sting.

Stepping back, she crossed the room and located a needle and thread. It would be necessary to sew the stitches. She pulled a bandage from another drawer and returned to the pokemon. Setting those down, she secured a needle, and filled it with a clear liquid, which she injected into the Growlithe a moment later, putting it to sleep.

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

Ashah bit her lip as the nurse spoke, really hoping that she was right. Maybe she was worrying too much, but she just cared for the little guy so much, and she didn't wish for any thing to happen for him. She'd really feel as if it were her fault. Really though it was that horrible Mightyena and his disgusting master. They suited each other quite well, the female thought. They were both apparently ruthless and cold hearted characters who did not care who they hurt in the process of getting things the way they wanted. Ash hated Cid.

The female let the nurse take Growlithe and she watched as she went about doing things, until the Growlithe was put to sleep, at which point she headed towards the door. "I'll, um, just be waiting outside ..." She said quietly, not able to stand there and wait, not knowing what was happening. She made her way out, and pressed a hand to her hip, feeling the warm blood as she headed back to the main waiting area, her gaze turning to Akhor when she saw him.

[AKHOR DRYZEIRAN]

The nurse nodded, and immediately began to stitch the little Growlithe of. She was very careful and precise in her actions. She'd been doing this for quite sometime, despite her youth, and was quite skilled at it. One had to be when they worked for a facility that was ruthless in its battling of pokemon. Injured ones were very common around these parts.

Akhor glanced up as Ash came out, his blue eyes narrowing as he did so, "You should go back in there." He said, "She can sew you up as well." Obviously he was aware that she was bleeding from somewhere. He assumed it was the wound at her hip, as her hand was placed there and he was sure he'd saw a limp in her gait.

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

Ashah expected no less. She had heard things from her father about the ruthess that her uncle was into, and then ofcourse she witnessed it herself and suffered it. She had no doubt in her mind that the same thing occured with any pokemon that the people battled with there. Her uncle would only work for people like him afterall, who atleast had some sort of lack of caring, the same as himself. It was kind of sad that things had to be that way though - Ashah hated the idea of pokemon being used that way, but currently all she could think about was Growlithe.

Akhor's voice grabbed her attention and she turned to look at him, biting her lip slightly before turning away. "You don't care." She said quietly. She didn't think that Akhor really cared about her well being, so why should she even bother going to get any help? He was such a jerk! Besides, Ash was far too worried about her Growlithe to really care about herself at the moment.

[AKHOR DRYZEIRAN]

Akhor rolled his eyes at Ash's response, sighing quietly. She really could be quite stubborn, and it was rather annoying to the male, "Whether I care or not shouldn't matter." He responded, "Unless of course whether or not you'd like to live or die hinges on if I give a damn." He was getting a tad bit frustrated with the female, as was clear by his choice of words.

At that moment, the nurse returned with Growlithe in her arms. There was a white bandage wrapped around his entire body several times to protect the stitches, and the little pokemon was still out cold from the anesthetic, "Here you go, dear." She said with a smile, "I pumped him with some liquids and sealed up his wounds. He should be fine in a few days. Keep him lying down though."

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

"You shouldn't have saved me if all you wanted to do was to piss off my uncle." Ashah informed the male, letting him know exactly why she was annoyed with him and being so distant and frustrated. "It was completely heartless taking me to him when you knew what he'd done! Besides, you lied. This isn't a hotel or anything of the sort ... It's a base for your lot." By your lot she ofcourse meant The Order. Ashah like Akhor did not like feeling like she had been lied to or vetrayed, and right now she was annoyed anyway because of seeing Cid. She was beyond annoyed though. She was upset at being reminded of what happened.

Her anger seemed to disperse at the sight of the nurse and her little Growlithe. She took the pokemon back in her arms and looked down at him with a worried look. She ared more about him than she did herself. "Okay ... Thankyou." She said quietly, clearly feeling guilty about what had happened to him. She blamed herselfr, and ofcourse Akhor.

[AKHOR DRYZEIRAN]

Akhor's eyes narrowed at Ash's words. Unfortunately he couldn't argue with her, because although he didn't particularly care about other people's feelings, he did realize that it must have really hurt her to see her uncle again, and there wasn't much he could say due to that, "I'm sorry for lying to you," He replied, "But I know you would have left if you knew where you were."

Akhor didn't like lying and absolutely despised being lied to. As such it was probably the only thing he would ever apologizing for doing. And although he knew that his explanation was not a good enough reason for her, he wasn't trying to make excuses. He was simply giving her a reason, telling her why he did it, "And although I realize you don't find it a sufficient enough reason, bothering Cid to that degree could count for some sort of revenge." He shrugged slightly.

[ASHAH-RAINE WOLFE !]

Atleast Akhor was apologising - Ashah hadn't thought that he would, but was certainly glad that he did. It meant atleast that he might not have meant to upset her, but the way he worded it all made Ashah thin, like really believe, that he'd only bought her back so that he could have some form of entertainment, and he hadn't wanted to miss out on it, so he'd lied. Maybe the female was reading too much into it, but she honestly believed that. She was upset and frustrated and worried, so ofcourse she was going to think like that.

Her eyes narrowed as the male continued, and she honestly couldn't believe her ears. Revenge was the last thing on her mind after everything that had happened. "I don't want revenge ..." She told him, holding her Growlithe close to her, but very gently, "I just want my family back." And with that she turned and limped her way out of the pokecenter. She knew her family would never come back to her, but that was what she wanted. Right now she just wanted to be on her own.
