Evening, 9/18

Everyone in the house pretty much had their own specific spots they'd go to for the express purpose of sulking.

Lust usually retreated to her room. Envy, without fail, could be located on the roof. Wrath either disappeared under the furniture or, lately, the next-door neighbor's porch. And Heather, well, she liked to vary it up a little, but she tended to favor either one of the city's many non-battling gyms or the downtown junkyard, which was full of smashable objects you wouldn't get arrested for breaking. Henry had the Ogre Hut (tm).

As for Al, she didn't know him as well as the rest.

But she had known him long enough to have a hunch at where she'd find him later that evening.

And sure enough, there he was.

Sitting down by the creek on Route 34.

Honestly, it's not a bad choice for a Sulk Spot. It's far enough off the path that there aren't yelling trainers stomping around in the grass, and the sound of rushing water is soothing. Even in the evening, the distant city lights reflect nicely on the surface of the river.

She can see why he comes here.

He'd hear soft wingbeats, the sound of a Pokemon landing somewhere up the bank behind him, and then the electric noise of it being returned to its Pokeball. Followed by footsteps.

"Hey."

LESS ANGRY THAN SHE'D BEEN SEVERAL HOURS EARLIER, it's Heather.

She wouldn't say she's here to make amends, because even if she'd probably overreacted... well, she still considers herself justified. But someone has to reach back out to Al and it's sure as hell not gonna be Envy.

Besides... there are matters she has to set the record straight on, and it's not Al's fault he hadn't known about them ahead of time.
