He was glad to hear that she would be fine with a little bit of a mess. That way, he could get away without doing his usual deep clean of the area. Not that he wouldn't be doing any cleaning at all. He just wouldn't spend the next week scrubbing every surface in his den. ->

Titania matches his stride length to keep up with Ardere despite being exhausted from her flight from Paldea to Kanto. Her refusal to stop and rest was entirely her own fault. "Even if they were a little dusty with dust Lopunnies living under the shelves, I wouldn't fault you. --

It was a small surprised to hear that Hoenn settled for just a ban and that she actually obeyed it. It felt like something she would have overlooked for the sake of returning whenever she pleased. It was a large nation with a lot of water. He wouldn't be surprised if she hid out there. ->

"Mysteries do make the world go 'round, and it would be rather boring if there was nothing to study. Am I right?" She looked him straight in the eye as she said this. A soft smile had graced her lips. "I'm banned from Hoenn for my affiliation with Aqua, and I'm not dumb --

He nodded as she explained the lack of contact she had with the other members of Team Aqua. While he personally had no love for them, he'd be respectful and let go of his personal opinion regarding their actions. He could relate to losing contact with someone you cared for. ->

"That would be hard, too. I lost touch with Archie and Matt... They were exposed to the Blue Orb for just as long as myself." It was a rare moment when Shelly would express something other than rage or arrogance on her lovely features. A deep sadness crossed her face for a --

Her apology would make future questioning go a lot easier. His mood brightened a little, walking a little faster to show her to one of the guest rooms in his den. "It's been a while since anyone has lived in this one, but I make an effort to keep them clean whenever I have free time." ->

"That's correct. Grandmother said our clans used to be close, or maybe she said they still are." Those black eyes followed him with an almost eerie look to them. Was she sizing him up? "I wasn't really paying attention. I just wanted to get away from that crater and --

He lightly strokes his chin while she gives her guesses. The second felt like it was more likely than the first. Given his own connection to Groudon and the influence the legendary's scales had on him and his family to this day. "I'm not sure I could study it." ->

"Ah, well, maybe I just got too big for my previous skin like an Ekans?" Then, a frown would darken her features, and a crease appeared between her eyebrows. "Then again... They don't change appearance like I did... Maybe the Blue Orb exposure from when I was --

(Happy new years. I'm still around. Work has been hectic)

Once he had found that spot behind her ears, he'd focus on scratching that spot. He did what he could to fully hammer down the slight bit of anger he felt once he noticed her retreat slightly. "It's okay to bring these things up. I'm not mad at you." ->

𝘔𝘢𝘪 [#0151]@bubble-mew.bsky.social · 2y ago

She felt the underlying anger that was rising and falling in his head and quickly withdrew from that part of his mind. "I'm sorry for bringing tha---... Oh... Scratch right there..." Her own thoughts were cut off when he found the sweet spot behind Mai's ear. --

Her attitude toward the status of his immediate and extended family left a lot to be desired. Although the mention of a grandmother and Kantoan clan did inform him that she wasn't the average Charizard. "If it's a matriarch, you must be from Paldea." ->

𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 [#𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟔]@shimmeringinferno.bsky.social · 2y ago

"Why in the flying fuck would I challenge you, Ardere? My meddling grandmother sent me here to check on the Kantoan clan." There was a puff of smoke curling from her nostrils. Clearly, she wasn't interested in being here, but it was a demand from the matriarch. --

He would have been concerned if she had enough children to outnumber a local ecosystem in such a short time. It was good to hear that they were doing just fine, though. "Well, they are hybrids. Their base instincts being different would make a lot of sense." ->

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 [#𝟏𝟑𝟎]@shogunshellbell.bsky.social · 2y ago

"The children are doing fine. Outnumbered, but that's to be expected with hybrids." There was a glance cast over to the side, watching for a reaction. "They do have a tendency to swarm prey when hunting, like Carvanha. Unusual behavior that was not taught. --

"Every so often, I feel like I really am an old man who's fallen behind the times." "... if you're only as old as you feel then... hmmm."

Flexing his wings and exhaling a small ball of fire. The king is awake, and the return of winter means that countless others will be taking refuge in his territory. Maybe he should start some sort of winter festival...

He never fully understood the shedding part. It wasn't something he had ever heard happening to a Gyrados before. He wasn't sure if he could ask about it. It seemed too personal. "I can understand that much. It's a reasonable response to humans overstepping their bounds." ->

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 [#𝟏𝟑𝟎]@shogunshellbell.bsky.social · 2y ago

"You'd be surprised what a shedding of the skin can do, and motherhood. Tends to cool things down a few degrees. Although, I'm still a murderess towards poachers. Something You'd understand." Shelly would choose to ignore the 'like of thought' sentence. She's trying to behave.

With his natural sensitivity to seismic activity, the rumble from her landing was enough to get him to step up to the entrance of his den. "Unfortunately, no, I haven't burnt out just yet." He replied to her comment, if it weren't for his dry tone, it might have come off as a joke. ->

On dark wings the female heads towards the volcanic island in Kanto. Her shoulder burning from the blast of fire from her grandmother. Titania makes a day long trip into a 3 hour trip from her heightened speed. She circles the island a few times before making her --

It was always nice to meet a member of the same species, especially when it wasn't a violent meeting. His father and grandfather were closer to the descendants of his species. Ardere often wished for a similar relationship. His den was open to anyone who cared to seek him out.

𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 [#𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟔]@shimmeringinferno.bsky.social · 2y ago

Titania's granny had been pestering her to see the Kantoan clan for a century now, but the stubborn reptile still refused. Until the old woman sent an Inferno her way and burned her left shoulder. "Fine! Fine! I bet they are all dead by now!" @noblemoltenwings.bsky.social

"The comment in general. You used to treat me like an annoyance. Although, you wouldn't have been alone in that line of thought." "As for the eggs. We'll have to see about that. Some time in the future."

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 [#𝟏𝟑𝟎]@shogunshellbell.bsky.social · 2y ago

Learned she loves every aspect of being a mother, and her more destructive tendencies go into protecting her offspring. "You weren't expecting what? I'm not demanding this or making a request. It's your choice as well what you want to do." She's not going to force hands.

"𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐲."

It would probably take him a while to get used to the fact that even his smallest of whims were being read by her. Although any of his more minor thoughts were quickly washed away once the flooded areas of his island were brought up. Ardere was not an angry person. At least he tried not to be. ->

𝘔𝘢𝘪 [#0151]@bubble-mew.bsky.social · 2y ago

"Ardere, you can touch them. We are bonded now, so that means you are allowed *ahem*." Mai clears her throat a little, and her cheeks tinged a light pink. There was something else weighing on her mind when she popped in. The area had flooded on some parts --

He is, but he's more surprised to hear about her willingness to have eggs with him. "I wasn't expecting that."

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 [#𝟏𝟑𝟎]@shogunshellbell.bsky.social · 2y ago

"I still would have Eggs with Ardere. Even though I flooded part of his island." He's probably still upset about that. @noblemoltenwings.bsky.social

He'd be more than glad to take a few pointers. He's never shared a mental bond like this before. Nothing that wasn't purely surface level telepathy before. He smiled from her kisses while he carried her off into his kitchen. "There are a number of kids who live in the valley. ->

𝘔𝘢𝘪 [#0151]@bubble-mew.bsky.social · 2y ago

"Teaching the wee ones in the area?" For one so wise, he was terrible at hiding thoughts and even feelings from her. She might have to give him a few pointers on this bond of theirs. Mai planted a kiss on both cheeks before settling into his arms. Her pointed ears --

As with all dragons, he also has a horde. His is just mostly filled with books by now. Gems become boring after a couple hundred years or so. In the king's eyes. Literature never seems to get old.

The valley is more dangerous at this time of year. Many pokemon are moving closer to keep warm, which is causing a number of territorial disputes. Ardere's den is no exception.

He's writing down information about new species of flower that's growing in the area.

With her answer, the list of ingredients would float up to the front of his mind. Along with a small bowl of berries. He wasn't as good at hiding his thoughts from her. Not that he was really trying to. "Honey cakes it is." The bowl of fruit might be meant to be a surprise. ->

𝘔𝘢𝘪 [#0151]@bubble-mew.bsky.social · 2y ago

[Honey cakes would be fabulous...] Mai's forehead still bumped up against his as her thoughts and response drifted into his mind. Ardere's mind was always cozy, like curling up in front of a fireplace. She kept the most recent memory of her attack withdrawn from him for now. --

"Is that so? I'll try and keep that in mind. I only had candy available due to the holiday." He'd say with a small nod. "Any particular preferences? Or would you like for it to be a complete surprise?"

𝓜𝓸𝓻𝓻í𝓰𝓪𝓷@foxfiremystic.bsky.social · 2y ago

"I'd much rather have something savory... But sweet will do." A small click of her tongue, slowly sliding one of those treats onto her tongue.

"I only have chocolate available, I'm still learning how to make other things." He explained while handing over a small parcel of homemade chocolates.

𝓜𝓸𝓻𝓻í𝓰𝓪𝓷@foxfiremystic.bsky.social · 2y ago

"Well? Where's my treat~?" A hundred plus year old fox, and yet she still can't say no to a little candy.
