Eating Alone [OPEN]

[Kaslin]

Eating Alone

So many Pokemon had come and joined the guild since Swinub had arrived, with expectations and orders from his parents to go and do his best to become an explorer he decided to do the best he could. He joined the guild but that was as far as he got to becoming a explorer, since he joined he was never forced to go on explorations or to do jobs. It was strongly suggested and he did intend to do it sometime soon, going to the job board every few days to make it seem as though he was actually looking for a job that suited him.

Everyday though, he did the same thing, he woke up and walked around the Guild. He watched the explorers go on explorations and watched as new Pokemon came in to join the guild, the sparkles in their eyes and the want to go face danger head on. Though he didn't really see himself as a true explorer he envied the kids passion for exploring and envied their bravery, if only he could befriend one and maybe one day they could take him to a dungeon just so he could taste the adventure for himself.

But even more problems arose, the main problem being that his lack of faith in himself lead to him unable to go up to someone and talk, let alone ask to go on an adventure with them or even... Join a team. So Kaslin sat in the mess hall, alone in the corner on his own table as he watched the other Pokemon talking with their teammates and friends and having fun, tears on the corners of his eyes as he ate his meal alone.

Similar to Kaslin, Constantine didn't have any friends in the guild yet. The major difference was that he was perfectly capable of befriending others; in fact, he did it with ease. He had the charm, he had the intelligence, and, if he did say so himself, he had the looks. Absols were naturally beautiful creatures, after all, what with their snowy pelt and vicious grace. Constantine was no exception. He had only joined the guild yesterday, so he didn't know anyone yet, but he was confident that by the end of the day he would have people swarming all over him.

He strode into the mess hall, claws clicking against the tiled floor. An amiable smile danced upon his maw to offset his confident step for a more approachable impression. Everyone gathered at the mess hall at some point or other, so it was a good way to meet and give a good impression to both veterans and rookies like himself alike. More importantly, there was free food. Free food, every single day. Arceus, he would have killed for an opportunity like this in his childhood. Literally.

Gently, Constantine picked up a plate piled high with food with his teeth, grasping the edge in such a manner that nothing would fall. Crimson eyes scraped across the vicinity and landed upon a Swinub, eating all by his lonesome. Was he the unlikeable type, or was he just shy? Well, it seemed that he was about to find out soon.

The Absol slid into the seat next to Kaslin, plate clattering as he placed it on the table. He offered a smile bright enough to pierce the heavens to the Pokemon next to him, deciding to strike up an easy conversation. "Hey there! Hope this seat isn't taken," he chirped, casually popping a piece of Gummi into his mouth and chewing thoughtfully. Wow, the food here was pretty good. "I'm Constantine, new to the guild. You?"

Van's trial mission alongside Roamer had been accomplished for a couple of days now, and slowly but steadily, the Sneasel managed to blend in with the crowd of explorers. It was just the way he liked it, unobstrusive yet always there if needed. Not that this was really necessary, since explorers could do missions whenever they saw fit anyway, but it was simply the way he was used to and the way he liked. Being in the spotlight was nothing he liked, because usually, it had involved some sort of chicanery. 

He had not seen Roamer for the entire day, probably because he had still business with his family to do regarding becoming an explorer. Which was why he was alone in the mess hall, filling his plate with a variety of colorful, delicious goods. A balanced, varied meal was a good meal for a pokemon after all. Many tables were occupied by teams, of whom he had personal realationships with none. 

But there was one table that was rather empty, with just a single soul occupying it. A Swinub, which he strangely enough he had never noted before. Perhabs he had been on a long exploration, or perhabs its small frame caused it to be overlooked. Well, it probably did not matter anyway. With a calm walk, he approached the table. But before him, there was actually someone else who took a seat next to the loner. An Absol, another explorer he had not noticed before. Seemed friendly enough, while the Swinub seemed rather... dumpish. 

The Absol tried to interact with the Swinub, probably attempting to cheer it up. WIth a shrug, he sat down at the opposite smile of the Absol and gave them a simple nod of acknowledgement. "I wish you both a good day." He spoke calm, yet with a hint of amicability. He took a bite from an Oran Berry, chewing it quietly with a closed mouth. That was the polite way to do it. 

He did not try to make it obvious, but he was actually following the conversation that might occur between the two. Heck, perhabs he had even become part of it right now.

Eating Alone

Sitting at the table and eating, trying not to look up at the passing by Pokemon who were coming back from jobs and exploring the Swinub couldn't help but listen to some conversations that the tables across from him were having. Teams who were coming together after a job and celebrating their success, all laughing and having a good time talking about the events of the day whilst he sat there alone... Only ever gone on one mission, alone.

He took a bite of an apple before placing it back on the plate as he heard a noise from beside him, quickly turning he looked to see a white furred Pokemon sit down next to him and rest its plate on the table. His eyes widening and his body starting to shake as he noticed what the Pokemon was, it was an Absol but instead of and angry voice that brought fear to Kaslin, it was a nice voice a pleasant voice of someone who just wanted to sit down.

Clearing his throat, Kaslin shook his head in reply to the question before turning back to look at his apple as to not stare and creep the Pokemon out. "I'm... F-f-f-fairly new... I m-m-m-mean, I've been here a w-w-while." He nudged his apple a little as he stuttered trying to hide his shyness but failing miserably. Just as he was about to look back at the Absol and give his name another Pokemon sat down opposite them, this one seemed a lot more hardened and a little less friendly.

When it spoke Kaslin simply nodded and looked away fearful of the Sneasel and what they were capable of. "I-I'm Kaslin." He said turning to the Absol but immediately going back to his apple and taking another bite out of it, chewing softly and quietly.
