King City Bar [Open]

[Nathan Duran]

Nathan caught Liz giving a warm smile. He swore he felt his heart skip a beat when he did, his cheeks getting a bit red. Wonderful, the beer had loosened him up enough for him to express facial emotions. For a moment he realized it had been a long while since he brought any woman back to his place. While his place wasn't messy, some of the things he picked up during his travels were a bit 'out there'. Oh well, he'll cross that bridge when he came to it.

"I don't think they'll mind..." Nathan said with an 'aside' tone. Vagabond weren't usually the best choice to delivery packages and/or mail. But he needed the money at the moment, assuming the Geologist Society were going to pay him with more 'Shiny Rocks'. At least the weather had cooled down by the time the two stepped out. It seemed everyone had plans of their. Joggers just enjoying the brief respite of cooled weather, a Spinda Pokemon running about after a fall. It was a nice change of pace, getting to enjoy the city life before the call of adventure grabbed him once more.

After about thirty or so minutes, they had arrived at the postal office. From the looks of things, they were getting ready to hand things over to the evening-shift. A few Noctowls were resting outside, wings tucked around their front as their puffy chests moved ever so softly. As Nathan entered through the front, he was quickly bombarded with questions.

"Nathan, we expected you over an hour ago! It was a simple delivery, so what took you so long!?" A man called from the counter, a pile of letters was in front of him.
"Sorry Makun, I got caught up..." He said with a bit of a sheepish tone, which caused the man from the counter to look at Liz. After a moment, a wolfish grin came on him as he shifted his eyes back to Nathan.
"Ah... I can see why." He said with an almost cockish tone in his voice. He disappeared into the back for a moment, before coming back out with a small clip of money. From the looks of things it appeared to be a clip of twenty 100 pokedollars.
"Here you go, you two enjoy yourself now." Makun said, adding a deep chuckle before he resumed his mail sorting.

The only particularly exciting thing that happened during the 30 minutes between the bar and the post office was Liz holding his hand as they walked. Of course, she would be holding other things later, but it was a start. Makun's reaction was a confidence-booster, though; she could practically hear the mental high-five between Nathan and the mail-sorter. Nice.

"Oh, do you need to get anything before we head back to your place?" Liz asked once Makun resumed his work, squeezing Nathan's hand. She didn't mind making another stop or two if necessary; better than having the moment ruined later. Nothing ruined a mood like a 1am convenience store run.

Nathan quickly and quietly checked the clip, his hand still felt a bit... weird.  His hands were used to grappling rocks and hold onto Pokemon fur.  It had been awhile since he felt a soft, un-callused hand like Liz's.  His slightly-buzzed mind soon began to think of the other things he could 'grapple'.  It was only when she mentioned about stopping anywhere else he snapped out of it.

"N-no, I got mostly everyone stocked up at home."  He responded, having been caught off-guard.  With a small mental note to get his tolerance up the next time he was here, he grabbed Liz's hand and began to walk towards the door.
"Maybe if we're lucky the Volbeats will be out by the time we get to Queensland."  He said with a small smile.  Part of the reason he chose to have a place there was because of the nature surrounding the area.  And aside from the rare Seviper, it was a fairly peaceful area, unlike like Strength Jungle or Death Peaks.

((After you post we can move to the Queensland section.))

"Oh, that would be nice. Maybe some Illumises will show up, too." Liz said, following him back to his place. To be honest, she hadn't been to Queensland all that much; once or twice for intel gathering, but hardly anything of interest happened in the farms. There was that show with the Rapidash and a farmer's daughter, but THAT was a story for another time.

((All right, movin' the bang bus RP that no one else gives a crap about out of this thread.))
