Pokemon World - The Lost Child

Lucryn: Day 43

(Day 43)

Without any windows, it should be hard to tell time, but for Lucryn who stayed awake throughout the night counting the time go pass, he could tell it's roughly around 6 in the morning. Hopping from the top bunk to the floor, barely a sound is made. Glancing over, he sees Lance's eyes are closed, his breathing still slow and rhythmic.

Ruffling through his satchel, he pulls out a change of clothes. Pulling off his shirt, his hands lower to his pants when his ears pick up on a slight intake of breath. Head turning, he looks over his shoulder, his eyes clashing with a pair of eyes. A second ticks by, and then another. 'How long is he...' planning on watching?

"Lucryn...who did that to you?" Lance's voice is so cold, Lucryn feels like his life is being threatened by an apex predator. Lance moves so swiftly, Lucryn barely reacted, his eyes going big as a warm hand brushes against his upper back. "Answer me, who is responsible?"
Lucryn's eyes flutter shut, head turning to face forward, no longer locking eyes with Lance. He knew what Lance was referring to, those fingers were ghosting over his skin, right where multiple scars crisscrossed forming a single word. "Why wasn't I aware?!"

Lucryn abruptly turns, fist meeting Lance's jaw. Lance backs up from the shock of it, less so from the pain. Lucryn bends down to pick up the new shirt that had fallen to the floor, emotionlessly pulling it on, as if he wasn't the one who just mercilessly punched someone.

The shirt hides the mark, and with it being out of sight, Lance seems to calm slightly. Lucryn's eyes meet Lances. 'Why does he look at me like that?'

"I won't ask, but if I ever find the one responsible...I'll kill them." Lance states, eyes so cold, Lucryn felt as if his heart would stop beating. 'Those are the eyes of someone who has seen blood.'

Lucryn's lips curl up, out of all of his smiles, this perhaps is the most noticeable one, but even then it doesn't reach his lips. 'Kill the one who did this? Wouldn't that be wonderful.'

...

After the awkward morning situation, the two didn't speak to each other. Lance silently raged, still kind enough to show Lucryn to the bathroom, giving him the chance to finish changing. Following a relatively quiet breakfast save all the people who came to speak with Lance, giving him reports and receiving orders, the two set off on foot to catch the pokemon hunters.

Or at least, that's what Lance said they'd be doing, but after wandering the city for half a day, they had yet to succeed in their mission. They had found several leads, an old hideout, some sightings of them, but they had yet to find them. However, they did have a clear picture of a few of the members thanks to the military members Lance had assigned to track them down.

Two confirmed pictures, one of a woman, the other a man. The woman had long blond hair and striking green eyes. The man had black eyes and brown hair. Aside from these two, at least three others are confirmed to be in kahoot with them.

Lucryn gazes around at the busy street, his eyes filtering through the people. He hates being in this busy place, but he doesn't make a scene, holding his mental state together as they wander the streets. 'I have a job. Complete the job first.'

Long black hair catches his eyes, stopping, his eyes follow a woman walking by. Her silver eyes are filled with laughter as she holds the arm of a tall man with gray hair and black eyes. Lance stops, noticing Lucryn lagging behind. "Come on, we need to hurry."

His voice isn't too loud, but his pristine military uniform and commanding air have already attracted many looks, and at his words the woman looks over, eyes momentarily widening. With a laugh she says something to the man she's with, the man laughing in response, eyes looking over at Lance for a split second before falling back on the woman's face. Both of them resuming their walk, heading towards a side street.
