[PRP] Last Minute Sleep Over!

[Blood_Goddess]

The sun was setting by the time the two trainers, Rosie and Citrine had made their way back into Camphoreon from the eastern Trainer's Center. The trip was much shorter thanks to the fact that both of the girls had Pidgeot, so by the time Rosie lead them down and landed right in front of a small cute little house set in a quiet city neighborhood, lined with trees on either side of the street there was still just enough light for the street lamps that buzzed to life not to matter.

"Welcome to my home~" Rosie said, with a gesture to the small house and a bright smile. sliding off of the Pidgeot's back and stepping in front of him to accept some cuddles before she let him fly back off toward the back yard of the house.
Rosie herself made her way up to the front door, gesturing for Citrine to follow her.  

[Blood_Goddess]

"He can follow Perdy to the back, the bigger pokemon usually like to hang out there, and its not far from where we'll be." Rosie reassured, smiling at the blue Pidgeot.

The door was already unlocked when Rosie got to it, meaning that people were already home. stepping inside she laughed at Citrine's call into the home pausing to let the teen in. before she closed the door.
"come on in, make yourself at home."

the entrance way was small and tiled, but lead immediately out to the living room and the kitchen and dining room beyond to the left. to the right was a doorway, that lead to a set of stares going up, and another room.
As soon as they entered there was a cheerful barking and before they knew it a Growlithe was pouncing over to the two, though he paused when he saw a stranger at the door, perking his ears and tilting his head.

"Hey Jazz~" Rosie Greeted, reaching down to pet the pokemon who still stared curiously at Citrine.
"Where is everyone?" Rosie asked poking her head around to look into the living room.  

[Suudonym]

Another pokemon - a Jolteon, purple, blue, and shimmery - appeared at the edge of the room, eyeing Citrine critically. The electric-type looked only for a moment before turning to return to wherever she had been before the sudden arrival, apparently satisfied with her brief scrutiny.

The sound of footsteps was upon the staircase, and within a few short moments Luke had descended from the second floor, greeting the pair with a smile. Compared to how he might have appeared in the past, his figure was more imposing, strengthened and hardened by the adversities that had been overcome, as evidenced by the scars upon his face and hands - of what was visible with his long-sleeved shirt. Any intimidation that he might have given off, however, was wholly subdued by the gentleness of his disposition: His movements were mostly quiet, and his features were open and calm.

"Welcome back," he said to Rosie before addressing Citrine properly, "and hello; I'm guessing you're the friend Rosie texted me about?" He tilted his head slightly, thought in his expression. "Actually-- We've met before, haven't we? For the Hoenn trip?" He ducked his head down somewhat sheepishly, his smile apologetic, "I'm sorry to say I can't come up with your name, though..."  

[Blood_Goddess]

The girls excitement seemed to reflect back at the Growlithe, who perked up again and with another bound forward ran ride up to the girl and rolled himself against her, barking happily.
He was joined shortly by a white Quilava with pink flames, though she seemed more interested in what Jazz was doing than a new person in the house.

Rosie watched the pokeball, slipping out of her own boots while Luke came to join them, before she hopped over to give her husband a hug.
There was a moment of surprise though when both of then voiced having seen one another before, and the blond looked utterly surprised "Oh- wait so you two have met before?"
Her eyes only widened when the Hoenn trip was brought up, and she paused again. "Really? Oh my gosh I feel so silly." She said, letting her hands slip back down from Luke, placing one of them on her cheek "Gosh I knew you both were there on the boat too" well that was embarrassing.  

[Suudonym]

Luke responded happily to the hug with a light kiss upon his wife's forehead. He extended a hand to return Citrine's gesture, laughing slightly, "I could say the same of myself. I can't imagine I was all that noticeable, running off by myself and spending the whole trip alone. I'm sorry if I came off as kind of... unapproachable back then." He was embarrassed by the memory of how standoffishly and rudely he had behaved when he was younger.

"Anyway," his shook his head slightly to clear the subject, "it's a pleasure to meet you as well - properly. Just returned to the region?"  

[Blood_Goddess]

Oh Jazz really liked this girl! He yipped happily at the attention, his ears flopping back as she pet him, but it wasn't long before he was hopping up to prop himself up onto her chest and licking her cheek.
"Grow!"

Rosie beamed at the fun the two were having meeting one another, taking Luke's other hand to lace his fingers with hers for a moment, leaning lightly against his shoulder ash er eyebrows arched and she just smiled at Citrine's admission.
"I think we all kind of went our separate ways, I'm not sure what Steven was planning, but I guess some of us we got what we needed out of it." she tilted her head, a sympathetic smile forming over her lips "I did find you becasue of that." she pointed out "Your nose isn't still sore, is it?"  

[Suudonym]

He blinked in surprise in response to the confession about the literal run-in. She didn't seem to be hurt, though, as evidenced by both her enthusiastic interactions with the Growlithe, overall high spirits, and, of course, her response to Rosie's question, so maybe that was just the sort of information that shouldn't be made into a deal. "I hope you could at least enjoy the trip a bit, for what it was," Luke said, thinking back on the adventure in Hoenn. It had been a good introduction to training, even if the recreational battling practiced in major League regions wasn't of much use to them in their efforts against Team Rocket.

He received Rosie's hand without distinctly thinking about it but was nonetheless glad for its presence. "Oh, yeah," he replied to Citrine with a nod, "the KSO - Kodo Special Ops. 'Police trainer' is pretty close, in terms of what the position is like. In other regions they deal with pokemon-related crime and abuse, but here in Kodo we're pretty much exclusively handling things related to Team Rocket."  

[Blood_Goddess]

Rosie nodded lightly along with Luke's much better explanation as to what Special Ops was all about.
"There is actually two Trainer's Centers here in Kodo now." Rosie added "The one we were at, and there is another one up to the west, in the desert right were Team Rocket used to be hiding." she told the girl "They do different kind of training there that better helps with situations with Team Rocket."
Rosie tilted her head to the side a little, looking from Luke back to Citrine "A lots been added here since you've last been on Kodo huh."  

[Blood_Goddess]

Rosie beamed again, clearly amused by the way Citrine chose to place in stead of swearwords.
Jazz wiggled around in Citrine's arms as he got himself comfertable, then settled in, panting lightly and looking up to at Rosie and Luke then back to the trainer holding him.

"Mmmm... Not that much." Rosie replied "I think that's more for trainers who are not part of special ops. I don't see a lot of Special Ops Officers doing their own training there." Rosie admitted though looked to Luke for confirmation.

"Its a lot different from the Trainer's Center we were at, We'll have to go there for sure so you can see for yourself." Rosie offered with a light smile.
