[ behold, Goldenrod. your new campeador has arrived! Tavros has been on the fly—or, uh, the bull ride—for weeks, with the express purpose of hastening to Goldenrod. of course, the reason this took almost a month and not, y'know, a week or two, is because he got lost. a lot. lost, and held up by wild Pokemon that he had to direct his amazing team of three underleveled Pokemon to battle, with near-disastrous results, and other various paraplegic shenanigans that I would be heartless to describe here, but which may or may not involve the total destruction of his wheelchair somewhere along the way.
so, as grand as it may seem to ride into a big city on the back of a giant hoofbeast, it really becomes less impressive when you take in the weather-beaten and fatigue-stricken appearance of both steed and rider. ]
We did it, Rufio! Unless I'm reading the map wrong, uhh, again, which is a thing that's completely possible, since it happened so many times before, but assuming I'm not, which I don't think I am, for once...
[ his Tauros gives a snort of impatience. Would you get to the point, already? ]
Right, sorry. Anyway, I think this is Goldenrod. It's gotta be, just, based on its appearance, which resembles the descriptions that were given to me, before.
[ clip clop clip clop... clip... clop... Rufio is beginning to slow down. his legs are trembling. Tavros leans down and pats his neck consolingly. ]
It sure is big, isn't it...
[ ...and then he promptly passes out and falls off of his trusty steed sideways, just in time for said trusty steed to collapse over the other way. bull pileup on aisle four. ]
[ ooc: assume replies to responses on the 'gear come after he wakes up \o\ ]

[ says it with skepticism--not, "what is water?" but rather, "why is that important?" ]
[action]
[action]
Right, this stuff, I don't usually have it very much. I didn't know that, uhh, that humans needed it for hydration and other things, like what you said.
[ at least he doesn't have any trouble with getting the cap off. exhausted or not, he's stronger up top than he looks. ]
[action]
[action]
[ gives him a pretty weaksauce smile and then takes a long sip of that water.
and by a long sip I mean that bottle is gone in a heartbeat. you'd think by the look on his face, he'd just had a little slice of heaven in his hand, by golly is water delicious. ]
Mm! I forgot how tasty it is, heh.
[action]
ANYWAYS-- that's not really the important thing! the only thing that's able to take his mind off of Tav being all "human now" is how fast that kid chugged the water.] Right-- that's why we need to keep hydrated kid. [he pauses.] Have you eaten anything recently? Also-- when was the last time you slept?
[action]
Eaten, yes, sort of. Sort of, by which I mean, I had some of those berries, at a time that wasn't that long ago. Yesterday, I think. And sleep, that sort of happened just now, in a way.
[action]
You--uhh... you do know that those berries are for your pokémon right? Man just-- hold up a minute. [BRB DIGGING IN HIS BAG FOR THAT GRANOLA BAR HE KNEW WAS IN THERE.] Here. It isn't much, but it's better than those berries.
[action]
Are you sure this is okay for me to have? You're really, uhh, giving me a lot of things.
[action]
[action]
Okay, well, if you're sure that it's okay, then I'll have it. And also, thank you, for the things that you were giving me in multitude, like I said, just now.
[action]
[action]
I think you're right about, uhh, the part with Rufio needing to receive treatment, definitely, but, then, the part about standing, that's... I can't really do it.
[action]
[action]
Well, uhh, the thing is, is that there was an incident at a previous time, as in, before I came here, to Johto, I mean. Uhh, but anyway, during that point that I just mentioned, my legs were made to not work anymore, effectively. So that's why I can't do the standing thing.
[action]
[action]
[ oh, don't be modest, Tavros. of course he does! with all the lifting himself up and dragging himself around he has to do? you betcha. ]
[action]
[there's also the other way-- but this way seems more manly, sob.]
[action]
[ no, he can't ride on Rufio... or his other Pokemon, either. pauses. ]
Well, instead of burdening you with, uh, with me, as it were, I could probably crawl there, that's something that I do all the time.
[action]
[action] oh my god so late ljgkajl
Yes, uhh, it's right here.
[ pats his belt! ]
[action] never late!!!!
[action]
[ with some trepidation he manages to get the ball unclipped from its holster and points it at Rufio, patting him on the side before he calls him back.
...and then falls over on the ground, now that he doesn't have that support to lean against. derp ]
[action]
Alright. Uhh-- try reaching for my shoulders?
