Reina waited in line to be the next to use a stall. There were women in front of her and behind her. She began to fidget as they would take a step closer to her as the line progressed. When it became her turn she didn't enter the stall. She began to feel a little hot, feeling pressure that didn't quite exist yet.

"Hello? Are you going to go? We're waiting," said the woman behind her rudely. When Reina didn't move she pushed her. "Go sometime today, lady." Reina still didn't move. The woman walked past her, shoving her into the wall. "If you're not going then get out of the way."

Reina's eyes watered, then tears came running down as she ran out of the bathroom. She pushed past other people to get outside, bumping into Draven.

Draven gained his stance and turned around to see the girl sobbing. He pulled her close to comfort her then put some space in between them so he could look at her.

"Reina, why are you crying?" he asked softly.

She stopped sobbing only to get the words out. "I-I got scared to go, a-and then that woman was yelling and pushed me."

Draven held her close again. "What did she look like?"

"She... She had orange hair..."

Draven took her back into the restaurant and saw the woman walking out of the bathroom with one other, who looked like a friend of her's.

"Excuse me. I believe you owe someone an apology," Draven said in a demanding tone.

"Oh, so you're the boyfriend sticking up for her? Puh-leeze."

"Apologize. Now."

The woman stepped closer to him. "I don't let anyone tell me what to do."

Draven let go of Reina so she wouldn't be in the middle of the two. "Would you like a battle of attitudes here?"

"I'll win over some lame-ass defending that little wimp of a girlfriend," she said as she began to throw a punch.

Draven caught her right hook with his left hand and bent her fist downwards, making her stop and whimper in pain. "I suggest you give her an apology, or I can make this hurt worse," he said as he twitched his hand to bend her wrist a little more.

"I-I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me! Just let go," the woman said as she started to cower down to try to bend her wrist out of the pain.

"That'll do," Draven said as he let go. Despite those who were sexist, he did believe defensive actions were called for no matter what sex you were, especially when there was no reason for things to get physical.

The woman ran off, her friend following behind her. Draven walked over to the handicapped room and knocked, not hearing any noises. He slowly opened the door to confirm it was empty.

"Come, on Reina. No one is in this one," he said as he held the door open for her. She reluctantly walked towards him, scared of him after seeing his anger flare up.

She quickly slid past Draven and closed the door just as fast. She took care of her business then stood in the bathroom by herself, afraid to go out.

"Reina," he called. "Are you okay?"

Silence. He soon figured it out. He never realized how much of an anger he had until he looked back on himself. It was good every once in a while, but it apparently put fear into Reina too.

"Reina. Let me in, we'll talk, okay?"

There was more silence but then he heard the footsteps get close to the door then a click sound was made. The door cracked open just for her to see him. Draven put his hand on the door and carefully opened it so he could enter. He closed the door behind him and locked it.

"I can tell you're scared. I'm sorry. I do have a bit of a temper sometimes but I would never take it out on you," he said as he reached out to hold her arms, sliding his hands down to hold her hands. "I will protect you no matter who the enemy is-pokemon or human." He pulled her in for a hug, hoping the gesture would send a good feeling, not more fear. "Please don't be scared," he said in her ear.

Reina's cheeks grew pink by his gestures, soon becoming red after the embrace. His body heat felt so warm, something she wouldn't ever experience if she had kept her lifestyle the way it was, distrusting everything that breathed. She could smell an odd scent on him, not foul but something the forests would ever have. Slowly she put her arms around him, liking the feeling.

"I'm o-okay," she said sheepishly.

Draven chuckled at her when he pulled away to look at her face. "See, there's nothing to worry about. Now, come on. We've got an Ice Cave to hike." He held her by the arm once more and led her out of the bathroom and out to the east. Her pink face reminded her of his sister when she would get embarrassed. He hoped he could treat her more as a sister close to his age, someone she could count on no matter what.
