"Needless to say, I've got to wash up. How far is the river?" Absol asked, getting up with a profound limp. He'd already had tufts of hair burnt and gone forever, he wasn't keen on losing any more and looking like a pup with mange.

"No! I'll go with you." Meowstic burst out all of a sudden. "I mean. Just let me finish up here and I'll show you where it is."

Absol raised a confused look, "And have you watching me take a bath. Yeah right." Absol said and was walking to where Meowstic came from, limping and saying ouch every time he had to use his right side.

Meowstic ran after Absol. "No, that's not why! It's not safe in the water." She called after him sounding very worried.

Absol stopped and did a half turn as though to face Meowstic, "And why wouldn't it be safe?" he said having stopped right in front of Meowstic.

Meowstic stopped and looked a little guilty. "I saw another one of the guardians. Vaporeon. He tried to drown another pokemon at the river."

"What!?" Absol said genuinely surprised, "That's pretty evil. I thought all the guardians were friendly."

"I did too." Meowstic told Absol. "But I guess there are more to these guardians than just trying to protect the world. Anyway I don't want you to worry about Vaporean for now, you have to concentrate on Flareon."

"Well... I don't fancy drowning... I guess you can come keep watch." Absol said, knowing he wouldn't be able to swim with this right side covered in sap, let alone defend himself. He started walking again, at a slower pace to let Meowstic catch up. He still needed to clean off before the sap hardened any more then it already had. He knew he'd already lost a lot of hair to mats.

"Alright." Meowstic said and followed Absol to the river.

Once at the river, Absol looked up, down... and then up and down a couple more times before taking a slow step into the water. Once the first step was done, he slowly walked all the way into the river until only his head was above water. He slowly picked at the sap on his side as he soaked in the water, failing to prevent himself from pulling out clumps of hair, but not as much as if he'd gone without the water. He grimaced every time he pulled a pluck but always kept his wits about him and his head above water.

Meowstic stood near the water and opened her ears. She used her psychic powers to scan everywhere around them so she'd know if any pokemon was nearby.

Absol had gotten all of the sap off without incident of a drowning proportion, though he had pulled a good bit of hair. Being stuck to the tree for as long as he had been didn't help his situation in the slightest. He walked out of the water dripping wet from the neck down. He now had two sets of missing patches of hair. The medium patches where he'd been burnt and the hair wold never grow back, and the small patches where the sap had torn out a tuft or two and it was bright red and sore. Absol shook his whole body to dry off, deliberately trying to get Meowstic wet as well.

Meowstic laughed as she closed her ears and ran away from Absol. "We should put some ointment on those." She told him when she was out of his water flinging reach. "So that it'll heal quickly."

When Absol stopped shaking his whole coat fluffed out and he quickly got to work flattening it out, "Ointment from where? It's not like we know a Chancey near here or anywhere for that matter." Absol said and pulled what few pieces of sap were on the side of his face. Since he didn't sink his head under the water, this sap was hard and hasn't going to come out without hair attached.

"We could make some more from berries." Meowstic suggested as she filled the new water sack with water.

Absol thought about it, "Yeah, let's do that." Absol said rubbing his arm.

Meowstic nodded and when they found the right berries she quickly crushed them into an ointment for Absol.

Absol applied the ointment to the sore spots and it immediately had a soothing effect, "So I suppose we'll be heading up to the Volcano now. We got enough water?"

Meowstic lifted the bag up next to her. "Should be enough for the two of us." She told him. "I can't wait to meet Flareon."

"Heh, after you've met Vaporeon you're not worried? After all each guardian seems completely unique in and of themselves." Absol said and started walking to the base of the Volcano which wasn't faraway.

"That is why I'm not worried." Meowstic told Absol as she followed after him. "Just because Vaporean is that terrible does not make Flareon terrible. Also now I know not everyone is as nice as Jolteon, so meeting her will be interesting."

"Hmm,I like that way of thinking." Absol said as them made their way. The trees suddenly opened up as they had started scaling the volcano without knowing it and hit the edge of the trees. It was noticeably warmer, but there wasn't any fire or lava yet. The day was on the decline too, though it was only a little after high noon. From here on out the sun would sink and darkness would fall.

"Doesn't look like we'll make it back down before night." Meowstic commented as they continued.

"Nope, but volcano's light up like there's no tomorrow during the night so getting back shouldn't be a problem... Just make sure you do get back. Fire is nothing to be trifled with." He said in a caring tone followed by and obvious disdain and malice in his voice.

"We." Meowstic corrected him. "We'll make sure that we get back."

"Of course." Absol said with a grin he obviously faked, "There ain't no way a bunch of fire ruffians are going to beat me. They'd better hope I stick to beating their leader." He added, this time a fiery anger in his voice. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath, "Only if it comes to that though." He said, again with his fake smile.

"Of course." Meowstic smiled at Absol with a fake smile that was much better hidden than Absol's. She didn't know Absol would be like this in this fight and that worried her a lot.
ooc: How much does Meowstic know about Absol's thing about fire? And is it fear or anger?

OOC: Since I can't find the thread where I posted Absols character Sheet, I'll simply state here for the record. She knows that he's been burnt in the past and that a forest fire was ultimately what relocated him. She doesn't know that his mom died in that fire, that fire pokemon were responsible for the blaze, or Absols complete hatred of fire types. As far as what Meowstic would sense coming from him, the surface would be anger I suppose, but under that there's genuine concern for Meowstics well-being... below even that is something more akin to malice. Actually wanting to cause suffering to any fire types he comes across, but this might be hidden too well for Meowstic to notice, especially if the concerned part covers it up. His grin is fake, but there is also a giddiness deep deep down in his soul. Like he's actually looking forward to the fight.
BIC: Absol's grin disappeared and he looked dead ahead to the peak of the volcano. He became resolute in an instant and began the trek up the mountain, trying to pick the simplest path for Meowstics sake.

Meowstic followed after Absol, ever worrying about the fight ahead.
