[PRP] Peace and Tranquility (for Tawny!)

[BlackFireKitsune]

A thick layer of snow blanketed the ground and spread out like some sort of chilly, unending sea in all directions, even into the forest where it weaved around tree trunks and bushes, laying over branches and burying rocks and fallen foliage beneath it. Alongside the line of trees rested a snow-covered fallen log, upon the middle of which sat a young woman clad in a heavy white coat with red trim, her thin, white-gloved hands resting on either side of the log to support herself. A few wisps of dark brown hair framed one side of her tan face with the rest pulled back into a braid along her opposite shoulder, her lips curved into a soft, warm smile as her bright blue eyes drifted over the two pokemon before her.

Not more than a couple yards in front of the log stood a gray-tinged white Rapidash, the area around her hooves free of snow given her fiery typing, while her muzzle melted more of the stuff as she nosed around for grass. Sitting in the snow nearby was a white and red Chimecho, gleefully flinging snow up into the air with her stubby arms and making happy chiming sounds as she did so. It really was a peaceful, tranquil day with a beautiful snowy landscape laid out before them, the young woman couldn't help but think. Not many people seemed to visit this area - perhaps due to the weather or time of day - and she hadn't seen many wild pokemon out and about, either. Maybe most people and pokemon wanted to stay cozy and warm at home rather than head out into the cold snow? Either way it added up to a quiet outing for her and her pokemon, and she wasn't about to complain.

Drilling grunts was a bit like... like... ********, he was too worn out to even think of an amusing simile. Herding cats? Milking cows re: moo to milk extraction ratio? Some damn thing like that.

Anyway thankfully he was out of that for the next few hours and using the chance to get some actual sunlight, just him and some of his pokemon. Phaethon was leading the way at a lazy gait; Tortie and Thanatos were just behind and naturally he was riding the Rapidash. Phaethon was taking them where he fancied and this was just fine by Aulus, he used his brain plenty and had to make plenty of decisions in his work so it was nice to switch off and let somebody else steer for a while.

It wasn't long before Phaethon steered them towards company.

The brown Rapdiasha paused with his head high and ears pricked as a scent caught at his nostrils; he whinnied a greeting, that was only polite, and then quickened his pace just in case Aulus was thinking to telling him to stop or turn around.

Annette drew in a deep breath of the clean, cold air as her bright gaze drifted over the snowy landscape. It was then that she noticed the human and a handful of pokemon that were presumably his, but given the distance - or at least that's the excuse she gave herself - she refrained from bothering to attempt any kind of communication. Besides, it was entirely possible he'd just pass right on by and leave them to enjoy the peace and quiet alone.

But his Rapidash seemed to have other ideas in mind. Oh well... At least he had pretty pokemon with him. Once it became clear that they were headed towards her and her pokemon, she lifted a gloved hand in polite greeting and that was all. Perhaps once he got closer she'd say hello; she didn't particularly feel like shouting at the moment. Or any moment.

The white Rapidash jerked her head up once she heard the other fire-type's greeting. Her ears swiveled in his direction a moment before her head followed suit, watching him curiously before she nickered her own polite greeting in response. Down in the snow the Chimecho paused in her snow-flinging activities to look over at the source of the initial sound, and when she caught sight of the human and his pokemon she gleefully sprung up into the air with a twirl, snowflakes swirling around in her wake from what all had settled across her small form while throwing it earlier.
