Anana was waiting outside of the sushi bar, how she hated to be made to wait for someone, or something for that matter, but she had taken Kyn at his word, that he would be done by the end of the day....and she was hoping that he wouldn't have lied to her...if he had, well, she wasn't sure what she would think, perhaps nothing at all, she'd just apologize to Nibble, and talk to Kyn the next day...even if it meant her going to visit the King's Rock Casino.

As per his usual procedure, he undid a storage Poké Ball that was set for hibernate mode if it were a Pokémon and then unpacked the meat, carrying it in refrigerated boxes with the assistance of the others. He went back behind the outside of the bar, expecting to find Anana.

Anana was, indeed out back, and she was pleasantly surprised when she saw the human and his Pokémon. "Ah, there you are~ I thought perhaps you might have forgotten. Still, you could have been a bit more timely in keeping your word."

"I would have, but and issue came up in which I was a bit occupied. This is the only time you will ever experience something like this. I am very punctual normally." He set the boxes down, and waited for her response.

She of course checked the boxes to make sure that the full order was there, then held up a finger for him to wait, walking inside to speak to Nibble's partner, and pulled him outside, (by the neck at that) to have him take the order in, her hands occupied with a bag of Poké.

"It's all there~ thanks for the business..." She trailed off as the Dewott brought back out the boxes for him to accept, one way or another, and then held out the bag to him. "This is yours, I believe, mine comes when the customer is satisfied.~"

"Alright. Thank you. Like I said, I'll be on time next time. This time I had an encounter with Royce," He stated, putting the bag of Poké inside of his backpack.

"...." She looked at him. "You're not hurt, are you...and Serena, she's okay?" She sounded honestly worried.

"Well, that depends on what you mean by hurt. Aside from bleeding," he then showed her where the blood was earlier on his arms, "and the marks that were are now, there was no permanent damage done. Serena is alright, though. The only one who nearly died... was me." The memory of it was still fresh in his mind, though he was going to leave out the details as to what he did to Royce's tail...

"I...oh dear..." She put her hands up near her mouth. "Perhaps I overestimated her bond with you...She's usually so careful and protective..." She trailed off again. "I'm sorry, I should have at least hinted at it...but I can't...disclose who I get the food from, to others, I mean. As far as the Dewott knows, you were just the delivery boys..."

"Well, I partially know, so that particular bit is out of the way. There's a title that I've given Royce though. Royce the Butcher. Serena did do her best to protect me. It was... a fault of mine, but, she still did save me in the end. She's on several occasions warned me about Royce... Although you may not know why I'm thanking you right now... thank you... Thank you very much Anana." Kyn said with a huge sigh. He'd wanted to hug her as well, but he felt that at this time it wouldn't be proper.

Anana did give him a confused look. "Uhh...? You...re...Wel...come?" Then something seemed to click, and she shook her head. "No, don't thank me, I didn't do her any favors, she was plagued with nightmares and I couldn't get rid of them...I don't think she really even knows how long she was down there...Eventually we had to distort her memory...She's not two years old Kyn, she's about seven." She paused to let that bit of information sink in. "Of course, if she ever found out that bit, she might...well...hm...I can only guess." She shrugged. "Sometimes she can be quite violent, it's in her species you know, but other times it's like a drop of water off her back~ as the saying goes. I'm not even sure why I'm telling you all this...just...shortening her memory of that time seemed like the kindest thing that I could do..."

"Well, I guess it's time to tell you a little bit more about me then, since you've decided to rather reveal that... interesting piece of information. When I first came here... I found out there was a time distortion between our worlds. In the normal span of my life now, a total of around 220 years had passed here, since I was born. Our lifespan... is far from that long. We only live an average of 75, to a great maximum of 150 years." Serena being older than she thought was more than just a bit of a shocker to him. "Eh... I don't know if I should tell you this but, if you do see Royce, he may be missing some of his tail."

The news about Royce's tail barely made her wave her hand at it. "It'll grow back, he'll just wear a tail sock until then...she thought about it..."Well, your lifespan, even in the lower numbers is still greater than mine is...The average Kecleon lives anywhere from 40 to 60 years~ 80 if they're really lucky."

"What... the hell is a tail sock? That sounds like it'd look really odd. I'm picturing it now, and resisting the urge to laugh." He was glad that this type of thing apparently happened to Royce before, since he doubted that he really wanted to explain that he HAD literally EATEN Royce's tail.

"It's...a slip of cloth that's dyed to match a tail that has been lost while the 'mon waits for it to regrow, most lizardy types have the ability to regrow their tails, at least to a certain point...so long as it's not TOO far up the tail, it doesn't look too bad, they'd be better off going around with a stump if it's too high up though." She answered. "For example, Your Sceptile probably, when he was a Treecko, could have survived having his tail cut off, it would have just regrown, maybe frayed a bit, but it would have regrown."

"Hm. Well... that's a rather interesting bit of information regarding his tail. He's told me that... he's lost it before. Has he ever COMPLETELY lost it? I'd imagine it'd also kinda cause an imbalance with him." There were very few human body parts that truly regrew when cut off. Depending on what was lost, sometimes an artificial limb could be made, but it'd take time getting used to. The only thing he could equate that to would be wearing original clothing over the false limbs. "Humans... really don't have any appendages that just grow back completely though."

"Completely lost it? Ah, no, If he'd lost it to the very last tail bone, it wouldn't have grown back...It's like, well..." She curled her tail around her feet until it was unwound completely. "Can you see where the scale pattern changes here?" she pointed at it. "That's the last place a Kecleon can lose their tail from, anything shorter and it wont grow back...dragons aren't lucky like us lizards...their tails wont grow back if they're lost, they even lose the ability to fly properly if they lose their tails so they're a bit like you guys. Think Charizard are like that too, but I can't be sure, I know that Charmander can lose their tails and have them back later though." She shrugged a bit, tapping her chin, and then put her tail back behind her in it's usual curly fashion.

"Hm... well, I don't think he's going to quite lose that much but, that's still a rather interesting bit of knowledge. So.... I've also been thinking about another thing some more... based on the encounter I had. There might actually be a rather interesting way for me to have some actual semblance of any form of a tail that I happen to be imitating. Costume designers... the really good ones, could probably create some stationary ones. Don't think I'd be able to really replicate tails like yours though."

"Perhaps, I wouldn't know much about your technology, but why would you want to weigh yourself down when you don't have to?" She paused. "I mean, I'm sure that you wouldn't be too weighed down if they were good at their job, but if they're not..."

"Well. Less easier to break the illusion that way. Now, since I haven't asked this in a while... how have you been doing lately? I haven't really been spending my time wisely lately, what with solely gathering... resources, let's say." Of course, now that he'd stored enough for quite a while, like he told Serena, he wouldn't have to do as much hunting, and could actually spend time staying in this world, visiting places.

"How have I been? Well, a little jittery to be honest~ Since I agreed to Serena's deal...I haven't been...ah...well, I've been out of my usual routine...so I kind of laid off the berries...figure that I should get both sets of withdrawals out of the way at once." She curled her tail around to wring it in her hands. "That's not to say that I'm a horrid lover or anything, just...realizing that I've been spending too much time on the more frivolous things in life, and not where my focus needs to be."

"Hm. Well... I do notice a bit of difference. Are you still going to keep those stylish flowers though? Next question, can I hug you? I've never hugged a Kecleon before." He wondered where her focused HAD shifted too though. It would... really be a different experience for him, now that two of what HE understood to be sexual deviants, were less likely to be so.

"Of course I'm going to keep my lilies, I just won't need to have the scent so strong~." She dropped her tail "I um...I guess? would you prefer me up on my tail to be about even with you, or just...like this?"

"Well, I'd just sorta... want it to be as natural as possible. I don't know if that's what would make it that way..." He knelt down on one knee, to also decrease the distance between the two of them vertically.

Anana shrugged, and stepped up into his arms, wrapped her arms around his shoulders and hugged him, her tail somewhere between it's usual curl and laid out on the ground behind her, 'as natural as possible.' he'd said.

Kyn did have a different motive for hugging Anana, but he wasn't really sure what it was at the time. "Even if you didn't warn me with more of a hint... you still did save my life the first few times, Anana."

"I'm....not sure how I did, if I did at all..." She dropped back down onto her heels, this part of the conversation again...She rubbed at her right arm.

"Anana... the Butterfree effect. If you hadn't rescued Serena, and she had ended up dead, I would probably have entered this world unprepared. Even as far back as my first meeting with her. Secondly, the fact that she warned me about Royce after I learned about the Casino. Serena's given me advice on plenty of situations. I know how to survive here now, but only because of Serena. I do not think this world allows for very many second chances." Kyn finished, grimly.

"She wouldn't have ended up dead, Kyn...She would have ended up as...the next generation of butchers, going by the title that you've given him...You know, Royce wasn't always like that either...I was still just a hatchling, but I remember well...the boy that just wanted to start on a casino, a place for people to have fun at...Of course, that was before he got down on his luck, had to go into the dark alleys himself to try to get out of debt, even my family couldn't help him, and that's saying something." She paused. "I don't know what happened there, but when he came out he was a different 'mon... Riiko and Nina went out of their heads trying to...well, run the place without him."

Kyn sat down on the ground, giving Anana the option to not have to look up at him, like he did with Serena. "Sometimes I worry about that, myself actually. I've got both sides of the spectrum here. Serena, who's given me a reason not to kill sentient, and Royce, who *HAS* given me a reason to. I've also been given several reasons *NOT* to kill Royce as well as plenty of reasons *TO* kill him. I just don't know what to do... I figured... maybe you'd be able to offer some advice..." Even though, due to recent events, he'd had an even greater trust of Serena, he'd also had been given plenty of reasons not to trust Serena.

"Well...I can tell you why Serena chose to impose those limits upon herself, if it will help..." She coiled up her tail and sat on it like a Spoink might. "She had just had two run in's with bad situations, I don't know if she told you all the details...but she was in Gambitville before she came here, apparently had to be rescued by Mike's mother." she paused. "She had just been proven to be naive enough to be taken advantage of once, and then she came here, where she was forced back into the same lifestyle. The nightmares had her not even wanting to eat meat--as you can imagine that would be quite the problem, since she's a carnivore...It was before I had her memory altered, I think, that she swore that she would never allow herself to be put into that situation again, where she had to kill something that knew that could identify itself...When I asked her why, she replied that the nightmares would come back if she did. Even someone like Royce, dying around her, would bring back the memories that I had locked away...There might not be any...physical reasons for her not to kill, but there are other reasons...even harming them has side effects on her mental state..." she paused. "You didn't...leave her alone after whatever you did to Royce, did you?"

Kyn paused gravely for a moment before answering with, "Yes... and no."

"Yes...and No?" She herself shook. "No, she wouldn't revert back, she might...curl up into a ball and try to keep everyone away from her...guilt is an evil demon that will plague her for the rest of her life, for things that she has done, and will do, in order to survive. She is not a happy child, I'm afraid...but I can not tell you what to do for yourself...perhaps thinking about how these things will affect YOU will give you your answer."

"What worries me the most Anana, is the fact that I think that these things will NOT affect me. Next question's gonna be rather grim, Anana. Do you think Serena would capable of making Royce eat his own tail? This is one thing that I would NOT have mentioned in front of Serena." This also made Kyn curious about ANANA's childhood.

"Capable of it? Quite so, yes...and she'd also deal with the repercussions of it later, either by harming herself...or by as I mentioned before...telling others to keep away from her because she didn't deserve to be around others...the worst I've seen her was when she lashed out at someone who tried to bind the wounds she had given to herself...we had to tie her down to treat her or she would have let herself bleed out...Doing something as what you've suggested...wouldn't take her that far, I think, since he can regrow his tail...and I've not seen her react to things like this since she was a Bagon, she may deal with this better now, I don't know."

"Of course, asking this question right after the last statement isn't exactly the best but, Anana, you've tasted Royce's tail before... what's it taste like to you...?"

"I...." She trailed off. "What makes you think that -I've- tasted his tail before? Just because I know he's lost it?" The fact that she changed to somewhere between her usual golden yellow and a deep red showed her mood change.

"Royce seemed to imply you had. You're not.... embarrassed are you...?" He hadn't really paid that much attention to the color change, but her tone to him, implied it.

This time she did turn red, fire red. "I have NEVER eaten his tail, I've...sucked on it, even fucked it, but NOT eaten his tail. If he's saying that then he's a LIAR as well as a needless killer."

"That second part, is what I THINK he was referring to. I should have been more specific. No, Royce has never implied that you have eaten his tail before. Though... why would that be such a big deal to you...?" THIS TIME it was impossible not to notice the color change since he looked directly at her. He didn't really know about the connection between Kecleon colorings and their mood though.

"Because I don't eat meat! How could I keep my relations with everyone running so smooth if I did? It would ruin my image for something like THAT to spread around." She shuddered. "No, I wouldn't eat meat if it was the only way for me to survive, I would die first."

"I can understand that.... but... heh... are you gonna tell me what it tasted like to you or not...? That's really the main thing I wanna find out." He had a different idea of what Royce's tail tasted like, since he had really at one point, licked the entire thing, and more recently EATEN a part of it, but his curious tone would have NO way of implying that he had, unless Anana was cleverer than he thought in that regard, which he hoped she wasn't and would mainly focus on the fact that he was understanding why she didn't eat meat.

She kind of twitched, putting her fingers to her temple, and slowly her color faded from fire red to orange, back to her yellow. "Like flesh I guess? the same as if I was licking off my fingers, of course, this might just be because the only time I've tasted it he was quite...slick with my own juices."

"Anana, I do believe that what you just said is rather arousing. Now, supposing I cut off Royce's hands... his personal butchery would technically come to a stop, right? I mean unless he goes to the areas that aren't affected by Dusk stones, right?" He wasn't sure how Anana would take if if he got an erection in front of her so he focused on things related to Royce that weren't sexual. A picture came to his mind, and he only allowed it for a second or so, as to WHY his tail would be coated with her juices, before going back to the current topic.

"Well, yes and no...all he would have to do is use his tail rather than his hands...but I kinda...would think that Serena told you to leave him intact to where he could do his other job...and I'm pretty sure that that includes his hands." She pointed out, only giving a knowing giggle at his previous statement.

"He can't use his tail if Serena or I cut off enough if it. I was taking that into account. Here's another bit of information I'm willing to share with you though. I... love the way Royce squirms when he's given rimjobs. Of course... I can't exactly do what lizardy tongues can but... it's still enough." He said with a grin.

Anana did blush, she was almost a pink by the time she pulled her head out of the gutter. "I'm not...sure I have a response to that..." She cleared her throat.

"That's okay. Most humans aren't as open as I am about this sort of thing though. So I suppose it can be a bit odd, even for Pokémon," he added, "So then... do you have any questions for me? Or have I gone off on too much of a tangent?"

She shook her head at the statement that it was a bit odd. "Oh no~ it's not that, just...picturing Royce being submissive to even allow it to be done...is an oddity. He's usually so dommy..." She trailed off again, and changed to the other half of the combination. "What...have you done...? To Royce, I mean."

"Are you referring to the present, or the other times when I have done things to him? Because multiple things have been done to him..." He said, with a varying tone.

"The most recent...I don't need my head drifting to the dump while I'm still technically on business grounds." She answered, realizing that 'present' was a trap word, at present, he hadn't done anything to him, because he was with her.

"Hmm, well, I tortured Royce a bit, for one thing. But, I also... entered him for the first time today, before that." He said, wondering how far Anana would push him into details.

She sighed. "You keep going back to sex, it's like your safety zone, when you feel uncomfortable with something you jump back to something that you'll think will make the one you're talking to uncomfortable. I didn't ask about earlier, I asked about most recently." She pinned it up on a mental wall, he should be very glad that she wasn't a psychic type. She had turned back to her golden yellow a while ago, but she'd turned a little green at the mention of torture. "No, seriously...I do need to know what you've done...in specifics."

"I... see. Well then... should I start with the first time I drew blood up until I left? Or should I just specifically refer to the cuts that were made?" He said, dreading the moment when it would come to WHY Royce was missing part of his tail.

"Whichever you prefer." the statement was still in that tired tone. "Or I should say, whichever is easier for you to say."

Kyn began explaining the gruesome details before finally ending with, "...and well, I didn't just cut it of I sort of... well, ate about four inches of Royce's tail."

Anana held her questions until the end, and there was only one of them, despite everything he'd said. "...and Serena...watched, all of this?" There was no comment on him eating a portion of Royce's tail, but she turned even deeper green at the mention of it.

"Yes, she did. Watched and... in some cases, participated." He had to admit. Though he wasn't sure how Anana would take that bit of knowledge.

Anana held up her claws to get him to stop, and to wait, and then she got off her tail (literally) and walked into the restaurant. It was about 10 minutes later that she walked back out, popping breath mints like they were candy, but her color looked better, almost back to normal. "You left her there alone, after assisting you with this? Honestly, I'm not sure if I should scold you or just order you to get back there...ah void...I may as well go with you."

"I'm not really sure... what you mean? But I'm assuming that we're going to be heading back to the Casino now, at this very moment, aren't we?" Kyn said, standing up.

"We are." She confirmed. "Pick up your boxes or do whatever it is you do with them, and lets go, now. If she's better, than it'll be a relief not to have to worry about her anymore, otherwise...well, they have chains down there, and though she wont like it...keeping her from hurting herself is first priority."

"Hm, well. I'd rather not... exactly reveal my trade secrets so... erm, if it's not to much to ask, would you please close your eyes for about fifteen seconds? We'll depart afterward." Kyn said, casually working his way into his backpack, after stacking the boxes.

She rolled her eyes, closed them, and then tapped her foot against the ground impatiently. "If a trade secret is more important than one of your friends, then by all means, take all the time you need, let me know when I can open my eyes again."

"It's not... I just... have my reasons." He quickly put them into the Poké Ball in probably just as much time as it took for him to finish that sentence. "You can open them again."

Anana sighed at him. "Look, for the record, I don't care what you're using to do your thing with, It doesn't interest me. Nothing from your world does." She opened her eyes, and almost immediately headed off towards the casino from her current point.

"Well that's good. I should have just asked. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore. You're one of the few that actually doesn't." He said, and began following her closely.

"You DID ask, before, and I gave you the same answer then as I did just now." She answered, and actually did take the way in through the barracks, not really wanting to be seen going into the casino--and this way was faster anyway. "Where did you leave her?" She asked.
