I left when the female just stared, I knew she wasn't comfortable with me around so I just left. I could hear Shadow and the girl talking as I left, (shadows probably explaining why I'm so strange.) I sighed softly as I started to wonder why lady giritina even spared me as a kit. "Grr..." I looked up after growling, then turned back to the cave knowing that my skills as a medic would be needed if she was hurt. (Hmm she seems familiar though, could she be...? No I can't sag for sure..) As i walked in she had her head down, Shadow looked at me worriedly at me as I understood. I sat at the entrance, concealed in the shadows of the cave, my fur making it impossible to see me. "Why are you afraid of him?" As I heard her concern I smiled, knowing if anyone could be kind and sympathetic enough to help this absol it would be her.
"I-I don't know.. I.. just feel so scared around him.." her voice was soothing as I heard it, it chimed and had a musical quality to it, I became a bit curious as to her reason for her fear, as I only sensed it when I started to speak.
"Is it his appearance?"
"I.. I think so..." I blinked and noded, understanding why she would be afraid of me if that were the case, reasoning if she had amniesia then it would have explained why she didn't feel afraid the moment she saw me.
"Haha! Oh that's ok, Night allways scares others at first but he's just a big teddy bear who wouldn't hurt a joltik." Shadow smiled and I snuck out of the cave, hoping to walk back in this time without scaring the two.
"Er... are you hurt miss?" My speech seemed to startle both of them as Shadow rounded to me like she expected an attack as the female started and looked right at me. "Oops.. sorry you two." I felt kinda akward as they both realised it was me.
"Geeze, you scared the crap out of me!" Shadow sighed as she relaxed her guard. The female still looked a bit frightened but seemed to be fighting her fear of me. I nodded and softened my naturally harsh, peirceing glare to a gentle gaze as I looked to her. I was acctually taken aback as I looked at her, really looked at her for the first time. She was quite beautifull even with the dirty and mud that stained her fur, it shone with a pure white, promising further beauty when it was clean, her feline face was a black unlike the usual navy blue that accompanied the white of other absol, beyond that it was soft in features, her deep crimson eyes set perfectly spaced apart and centered on her face as that pure white fur framed it in an enchanting way. Her mane was a bit large for a female, but it looked really fluffy soft, I could tell just by looking at her now that if she were cleaned, given a few good meals and gained some confidence in herself, she'd easily beat any female in this forest for beauty. I must have been sub-consiously staring at her because Shadow giggled a bit, snapping me out of the trance-like state I was in with a blink of my cyan eyes.
"Er.. sorry, I was just thinking.." not entirely true but not entirely false, a half truth to avoid a lie, "You seem to have sustained heavy strain to your left hind leg, does that feel alright? What about the cut under chin? Oh your tail looked twisted, is it ok?" I felt my instincts as a medic begin to pick up, the barrage of questions seeming to surprise her. "Well uh.. My leg feels fine, er.. I have a cut? Oh uh my tail?" I felt kind of amused because she went from looking at her leg to touching her face to turning to look at her tail. "Uh I I think I'm ok."
She turned to me surprised.
"Haha! Don't worry, Night's an expert medic and can tell quite a bit just by looking at someone." The female nodded a bit at this.
"Er.. hey is there a name you'd like to be called, at least till you remember your real name?" I'd felt awkward until now thinking of her as 'the female', feeling that by calling her so I was bieng somewhat possessive.
Shadow nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think you should adopt a name for now, it'll make things easier for all of us." At this the absol looked completely confused, I sighed, remembering only then she suffered amniesia.
"A name is how we distinguish between pokemon, in fact I know a family of leafeon, imagine how confusing it would be if I went over and said 'Hey leafeon!'" She nodded at this, understanding, though I think she was just trying to remember what a leafeon was, then she a currious little bounce. I tilted my head interested in why she would do such a strange movement, she looked and noticed my gesture and her cheeks reddened a'lil bit.
"Erm.. what kind of names are acceptable?" She quickly looked away from my gaze to look to Shadow who didn't see our earlier exchange.
"Well pretty much anything, names of objects times and then there are original names." The female nodded softly, then looked like she was deep in thought.
"Um… how about Crystal?" I blinked as I realised how well the name fit her. (This is strange, just a coinsidence?) I nodded and looked to Shadow who nodded as well.
"Its perfect!" Shadow smiled and nuzzled Crystal in a friendly manner as I simply smiled.
