Apprehension and Aggression

First topic message reminder :

Alkere hated the rain. Her first thought when she saw the dark clouds was that they had a thunderstorm coming, which was much to the small dragon type's distaste. But that theory was shot down when she realised there wasn't any rain falling. Or thunder, or lightening. Even the winds didn't seem any higher than usual, and the clouds looked an unnatural shade of pitch black. As she stepped into the clearing, the only sounds she heard were the soft ripples of the waterfall and the footsteps of herself and her companion. ... something told her this was way worse than a thunderstorm, and that was saying something, for Alkere's standards. Rain was by far her least favorite kind of weather. Sure, she'd never experienced hail or a sandstorm, but neither of those things would make her Ember attack fizzle out.

She sent a nervous glance back at Natsu. "So... this sucks, doesn't it." She said bluntly, walking a bit further into the clearing. "I'm going to take a shot in the dark that something's a little off here. Unless the weather's normally like this around the waterfall, or we spent all day in Shadowhue. Both of those things I kinda doubt." She paused. Well, maybe the weather acting up around the waterfall was possible, she could believe that, knowing how crazy Mystery Dungeons could get. It would still be really strange, though. She adjusted the bag slung over her shoulder apprehensively, having a hunch she might need some of the items she just collected.

"Gotcha." Alkere nodded, watching the waterfall carefully. Well, at least it looked like Natsu forgot to argue about staying up instead. That was a plus. He was in worse condition than she was. He'd needed to fend off two of those strange Pokemon while she was only fighting the Noctowl, and just battling one of those weird enemies had been bad enough. Other then, well, nearly drowning, she didn't think she'd taken any bad hits. She sat down with her back facing the wall of the cave. Things seemed a bit less entertaining without her banter with Natsu. ... as tense as this was, she had to admit, she found sitting here and doing nothing to be a little dull.

Natsu held his eyes closed, despite not wanting to he managed to find sleep while holding his eyes shut for a long time, after he started sleeping in the real world he had his head next to his tail, he started with just some quiet breaths but eventually he randomly bit his tail in slight pain, not enough to draw blood but enough to stop himself from doing something else. Natsu normally had nightmares and this event, being close to death brought them back up. Natsu would be fine, all that would happen was him biting his tail, nothing less nothing more.
